Consumer Description

WHILE GOING ABOUT 75 MPH, COMING BACK FROM CALIFORNIA, THE ENGINE SEEMED TO START MAKING A DIFFERENT WHINING TYPE SOUND AND THEN THE LIGHT TELLING ME THE TRANSMISSION WAS OVERHEATING CAME ON. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND LET IT SIT FOR 10 MINUTES WHILE IDLING , WHICH THE OWNER MANUAL SUGGESTED,. THE LIGHT THEN WENT OFF AND WE PROCEEDED HOME WITH NO FURTHER INCIDENT. IT WAS REALLY STRANGE THOUGH WHEN YOU ARE IN A LARGE GROUP OF VEHICLE'S AND YOU SUDDENLY LOSE ALL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE; DEFINITELY A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE OUT ON THE ROAD.. *TR
