Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON THE 241 TOLL ROAD UP A STEEP HILL GOING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH AND THE ENGINE DOWN SHIFTED INTO A LOWER GEAR, THE ENGINE BEGAN REVVING HIGH, THE RPM WENT HIGH, AND I LOST SPEED. I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK WHILE I CALLED MY HUSBAND BECAUSE I DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO THE VEHICLE. I WANTED TO LET HIM KNOW IN CASE I WAS STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WE DECIDED WE WANTED TO TRY TO GET THE VEHICLE HOME, IF POSSIBLE. I PUT THE VEHICLE BACK IN DRIVE AND GOT BACK ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT DID NOT DO IT AGAIN AND I MADE IT HOME. *TR
