The anti lock break and electronic stability control lights come on. When this happens speed control is deactivated. According to the dealership, it is an issue with the sensors, as I have had two of these replaced over the past 6 months. My account manager made the comment to just "replace" all of them as this is a regular problem. The cost is excessive, coming in at $400 per sensor. The lights have now come on a 3rd time, so the account manager was right. The date was August 26, 2020. The car has less than 60,000 miles, so I am beyond frustrated.

When accelerating it will sometimes throw itself into neutral. It also stays in a gear for a long period of time before shifting. It happens at random times while driving.

While driving the car on the freeway the gas pedal pressed down and accelerated on its own. I was unable to use the breaks to slow down and the throttle control light came on. It did after a minute or two stop accelerating and went into limp mode but the throttle control light shut off. I now have the car in the shop but they were unable to pull any codes like it erased itself from the memory.
