Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 65MPH, THE CAR GAVE ME A "TRANSMISSION SERVICE" ALARM AND THEN THE CAR LOST POWER AND EVENTUALLY STOPPED. NO RESPONSE TO ACCELERATION AND EVENTUALLY TO STEERING CONTROL. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND WAITED APPROXIMATELY 3 MINUTES, TURNED THE KEY AND THEN THE CAR STARTED AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT WITH NO ISSUES. IT WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT COULD HAVE ENDED WITH CATASTROPHIC CONSEQUENCES. THE CAR WAS BOUGHT FROM OVERSEAS MILITARY SALES IN SICILY, ITALY AND THE INCIDENT OCCURRED IN SICILY.
