Unhappy 2018 GT - Transmission Malfunction warning
So, I didn't have the a good afternoon....

I had only driven 1/4 mile, and the error message TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION STOP comes up
...and the car goes into neutral (on the busiest roundabout in town of course)
It wouldn't engage a gear.
I turn off the car and Restart.... and it drives for 1/2 mile,
.....and then does it again....

Turn off car and Restart ....another 1/4 mile ....and does it again. ( I am trying to head home by this point )

Turn off car and Restart ....another 1/4 mile, and does it again.
This time it also flashes up a SUSPENSION FAILURE warning

Turn off car Restart ....and I make it 3/4 mile home, up two hills and a steep driveway without problem

Anyone else experienced this ?
Its a 2018 with 1400 miles

My car got a little random with errors like this, as have another members - low battery charge was the issue.

is the problem with the lithium battery and did they replace?

My GT has a non- lithium and haven’t seen these voltage issues.
