Transmission goes into neutral by it self when making turns and when gas is applied, engine keeps revving. Transmission kicks in gear causing a crash(a good possibility) and wheel spin when it is equipped with tcs!. Tcs does not operate. Transmission made whiney noise when it was new and contacted dealer. They say it was normal(they always do! And never try to fix the car) I believe that is to blame for the problem. Engine stalls at a stop. Transmission needs to be replaced. Many other problems involved with the car. Seats made noise when going up and down, dealer lubed it 2 times already and it's doing it again. Sunroof rattles and dealer refuse to fix.
