With less than 4000 miles on my brand new car, the transmission drops from 8th gear to neutral (and would go from reverse to neutral) and lose all power while driving. The engine will rev and nothing happens. You have to place the vehicle in park, turn the car off and back on to get it to work again.

A few days after the purchase the car felt a strong blow in the transmission when going from parking to d or from the parking to r. I took it to the dealer where I bought it and after a simple inspection they said they did not find anything I think I'll take it when I have the first maintenance and tell them to go back to review since it is doing it more and more frequently.
