Ok,
Here is a issue I have experienced. Anyone know what to do? On 3 different occasions I have started my vehicle, engaged the transmission, and started to pull away. After traveling just a short distance I pressed down on the accelerator attempting to gain speed, and the engine roared as if it were in neutral or park and I was just revving up the engine. The vehicle had lost all momentum/forward motion and it was as if the transmission had slipped or acted like it was unattached from the drive train. Immediately a large red #1 appeared in the message center. Within seconds of coasting the vehicle suddenly gained back power and seemed to operate as normal. Last Friday I had my vehicle in at the dealer to check this and they found very little wrong but said the had done some "updates" because of a stored code? So I left and drove about 3 blocks away to a local store and went inside. I was inside for about 15 minutes and when I attempted to drive off, the same thing happened. Engine roared loudly but I had no power to the wheels. This was just 15 minutes after leaving the dealer. So I took it back and they checked it again and again told me they found no problems. Anyone else experience this issue? If so, did they fix it and what was the fix?
