The vehicle failed to shift into reverse causing the vehicle roll down hill when the driver expected to back up. The driver was able to stop the vehicle without incident. It turns out the shift cable broke that links the shifter to the transmission. We had it repaired (replaced) by a local shop. The vehicle is available for inspection if necessary, but has been repaired. We have had two of these break on two different vehicles of the same model and year. This happened on this vehicle at 127000 miles. There were no warning indicators illuminated before this incident occurred.

Vehicle failed to go into park when putting shift lever into the park position. Vehicle actually went into reverse instead even though the shift indicator showed the vehicle was in park. We could not shift the vehicle out of reverse. This was the result of a broken shift cable. This is the 2nd vehicle of the same model we have had this happen with. We will be reporting the other vehicle as well.

Engine fault service now message appears, SRS, traction control, and information warning lights illuminate. Vehicle looses power, the accelerator pedal in non responsive, and engine begins very rough idle. Have experienced this issue twice in three days on the freeway at speeds of 65-70mph. After coasting to the side of the road and coming to a complete stop, turning the vehicle off and then back on seems to correct the issue long enough to drive to the dealership. Vehicle was purchased new in June of 2016. Currently has 13,100 miles on the odometer.

While driving at an estimated and constant 70 mph on the highway, the car beeped and "engine malfunction" displayed on the dashboard. The vehicle then suddenly lost power and began to shake violently. The smell of burning oil was present in the cabin. Given the speeds, this was dangerous. I had to coast across a lane of traffic and come to a stop in a grassy area to avoid blocking the highway. Had there been traffic, this would have been impossible. The car at the time was approximately three months old. The car had to be towed to a dealer. The dealer is repairing the car and has indicated that the throttle body needed to be replaced (under warranty). The dealer asserts the cause of the burning oil smell was that the car was due for an oil change.
