Consumer Description

BOUGHT MY 2008 EDGE IN 2012 AND EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH ODO READ ERROR MESSAGE AND LOSS OF POWER SHORTLY THERE AFTER. IT HAPPENS MOST FREQUENTLY ON THE FREEWAY AT HIGHER RATES OF SPEED (60- 70 MPH). I HAVE HAD TO PULL OFF THE FREEWAY MULTIPLE TIMES AND RESTART THE CAR. HAVE HEARD FROM A FEW THAT THE SENSORS IN THE TRANSMISSION ARE SHORTING OUT BUT HAVE HEARD OTHER THINGS AS WELL. DEALERS REFUSES TO LOOK INTO PROBLEM AND STATES SINCE LIGHT IS NOT ON THAT THEY CANNOT READ THE CODE. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS THE VEHICLE IS HARD TO KEEP SPEED AND GAIN SPEED ONCE THIS LIGHT COMES ON.
