Consumer Description

THE SUV WAS DRIVEN AROUND 5 MILES, AND THEN SUDDENLY WOULD NOT ACCELERATE IN THE MIDDLE OF FAST MOVING TRAFFIC. THE ENGINE RPM WAS SHOWING MUCH HIGHER THAN NORMAL (WITH HIGH ENGINE NOISE), BUT THE SUV WASN'T MOVING INTO HIGHER GEAR. THIS SUDDEN SLOW MOVING CAR IN MIDDLE OF FAST MOVING TRAFFIC COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. AMOCO CHECKED THE TRANSMISSION, AND SAID THE OIL LEVEL WAS FINE, BUT PART OF THE OIL WAS "BURNT". THE TRANSMISSION IS BEING REBUILT BY AAMCO. THE SUV IS 8 YEARS OLD AND LOW MILEAGE - 63K MILES, AND WELL MAINTAINED. TRANSMISSION OIL WAS REPLACED 5 MONTHS BACK. *TR
