I bought the car in July 2012 at 53,000 miles. This problem first occured in winter of 2012. The car would not shift out of 1st gear, you could floor it and the rpm's would go up but the speed would not go past 25mph. I would pull over, turn the car off and back on and it would work perfect. Now it has gotten to the point where if you try to accelerate too much the engine light will flash, rpms will lower and speed will either stay the same or decrease, even if you are flooring car. It is also shifting pretty rough when it does decide to switch gears. For this car to be under 100,000 miles I just expected it to last longer before something major went wrong with it.
