Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING TOWARDS RENO, NV AND EVERY TIME THERE IS AN UPHILL ROADWAY THE ENGINE WOULD REV UP AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS TO ANOTHER GEAR,I WOULD FEEL A THUMPING SOUND AND ON EVERY 3 TO 6 MILES OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE WOULD FEEL LIKE IT IS RUNNING ON AN UNPAVED ROAD. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THAT IS WHEN THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY TRANSMISSION FLUID AND ENGINE COOLANT ARE MIXING. NOT TO MENTION THAT MY FSR IS NO LONGER FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. IT TURNED OUT THAT THE FSR (FUEL SENSOR RELAY) IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST UNLESS IT IS A 2006 AND UP. I DON'T MIND THE FSR, BECAUSE I CAN WORK ON THIS BUT THE COOLANT AND TRANNY FLUID MIXTURE SHOULD BE A RECALL SINCE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. *JB
