Typical transmission symptoms owners report

Owners report sudden, unintended engine revving to high RPM while stopped at a light or in a parking spot, causing the car to lurch forward.
Some describe a valve board failure inside the transmission that caused unexpected deceleration and left a lingering delay when accelerating after repair.
Several owners say the engine will not shut off after pressing the start/stop button, requiring repeated presses or jiggling the shifter while auxiliary power stays on.
A cluster of complaints describes the shift lever or park switch acting loose or unreliable, preventing the ignition from fully powering down even when the lever shows park.
One owner reported the car crashed into a tree when the engine continued to rev as if trying to accelerate after braking to park.
