While driving at approximately 50mph the car suddenly stalled. Vsa and transmission light illuminated. I pulled over to a safe spot, turned they vehicle off and back on. The lights went off and driving seemed normal, but after driving further it happened again. Took the car to dealership and they said it was the pedal position sensor, paid to have it replaced. The next day we drove to texas from nc and the same thing happened. We called the dealership and they said it may take a month for everything to reprogram. We gave it a year and nothing changed so took it to a mechanic who discovered the part was never replaced. We paid to have it replace again. Problem is now resolved.

Transmission shifting gear gets stuck in neutral and it takes many attempts to shift gear when it happens. It is occurring more frequently lately almost on a daily basis. Gear gets stuck so bad it is close to impossible to move it into drive or parking position. I've had other vehicles in the past, older than this one, yet never experienced anything like this with either one of them. This is dangerous because the car can stall in traffic and can get hit by another vehicle while I'm trying to shift into gear.
