I was driving and the vehicle car stalled it said gear box defect and switched from reverse to drive to neutral but would not move. I think this is dangerous since my car was already in drive and suddenly stalling could've caused an accident. Luckily there was no car behind me or it would have rear ended me.

1) Acceleration lags 1-2 seconds when you step on the gas pedal - have been almost hit many times when taking off at a stop light or changing lanes - very dangerous on streets, but also on the freeway. 2) Issue with electrical since the day I purchased it brand new in 2018 - auto stop-start only worked one time - dealer checked the vehicle out, declared the feature requires a fully charged battery to work but did not investigate why the battery is not fully charging; over the past 2 years I noticed the radio often continues to play even when I push the off button, headlights have burnt out 3 times, radio changed from Satellite to AM automatically last week, and it sometimes smells like burned wires. The car was recently at the dealer for service and their inspection found no issues. I did not take it there specifically for the issues noted here, however would expect their 16-point inspection to pick up these types of issues. Possibly, I'm mistaken and the inspection is not that comprehensive.
