WE WERE COMPLETELY STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN WAITING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC. THERE WERE CARS COMING BUT AT A SAFE ENOUGH DISTANCE SO WE ACCELERATED, GOT INTO THE ROADWAY AND THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE. WE HAD THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE. SINCE THEN WE HAVE HAD MULTIPLE INCIDENTS OF THIS WHERE THE TRANSMISSION FREEZES AND WE ARE STUCK IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE HITS US. SINCE I HAVE READ OF MULTIPLE PROBLEMS EXACTLY LIKE THIS WITH THIS VEHICLE. WHY HADN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL. *TR
