My wife was driving the vehicle and without warning, the vehicle lost power to the drivetrain. Engine was running fine without issue but upon pressing the accelerator, the engine revved but no movement. No warning or noise from the transmission of a pending issue. Proper regular maintenance has been done on the vehicle since ownership on time. Vehicle had to be towed to a repair shop at which time it was diagnosed with failure of the transmission. My wife does a lot of highway driving so luckily it happened in the city close to home and not on the expressway.

While driving on a multi-lane road going 60mph the Transmission Fault Service Now warning popped up on my dash. Within a minute after I could feel the transmission moving into neutral, causing the RPMs to go very high, then the card would buck violently and it would go back into drive allowing me to continue to try to drive it to safety. This happened 3 or so more times as I had to stop at a traffic light with my hazards and I was unable to get the car to move forward again until the transmission slipped back into gear and I was narrowly able to get off the main road before it completely stopped working. My parking brake had to be engaged to stay still.
