Intermittently, the clutch pedal will be stuck to the floor after pressing it to switch gears.

The transmission gets stuck in gear when you accelerate hard, you can't take the car out of gear and the clutch does not work. The engine continually revs/speeds up when no one is touching the accelerator. This is very dangerous and needs to be addressed right away. This was driving in sport mode, this has no happened in normal mode.

Also when getting around the 10 mph speed limit, the car jerks as if the transmission isnt properly changing gears. I only have 10,000 miles i…

When getting up to speed on an on ramp or passing on a two la e road, when shifting into third gear, the transmission will not go into gear. I've had this happen twice, once my daughter was with me on a two lane road, going from second to third while passing, the car will not allow it. People have noted this many places while running out second gear and shifting into third in multi situations. This is a hazard and…
