Consumer Description

WELL I OWN A 1999 PONTIAC GRAND AM SE COUPE, AND I NOTICED ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO AT 50-60 MPH (OR 2000 RPMS), THE CARS SPEED AND RPMS WOULD DECREASE ABOUT 2 MPH AND THE RPMS WOULD DECREASE ABOUT 500 RPMS, THEN IT WOULD RETURN AND IT WOULD DO THIS EVERY TIME I WAS AT THAT SPEED, ALSO NOW WHEN I ACCELERATE TO 60 AND IF I LET THE CAR DECREASE SPEED THE TEMP GAUGE WOULD SKYROCKET AND AFTER ABOUT 1/8 A MILE IT WOULDN'T LET ME INCREASE SPEED ALONG WITH THAT MY ELECTRIC FANS IN THE CAR HAVE NEVER ENGAGED, I LOVE THIS CAR AND I DON'T WANT TO GET RID OF IT. ALSO I HAD THE TRANSMISSION CHECKED AND ITS NOT THAT. *JS
