This seems to be a sudden transmission failure at just over 50,000 miles the shop has quoted me $4000 to replace the transmission…

Acceleration issues. Sporadically the car will do nothing when we step on the accelerator. It is dangerous because it happens randomly and we essentially have zero power to move. After holding the accelerator down for a number of seconds the car will then abnormally start to accelerate and rev up on rpms but will not accelerate as normal. It's as if the transmission is thoroughly confused. I continued to drive the…
