Consumer Description

WHEN AT HIGHWAY SPEED DURING HOT WEATHER AND A/C ON THE TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP LIGHT COMES ON AND CAR STARTS TO SLOW DOWN. I PULL OFF THE PAVEMENT TO ALLOW THE TRANNY TO COOL. TRUCKS AND CARS JAM TO THE LEFT LANE TO OBEY THE LAW. CARS JAMB UP AND SOMETIME A TIRE SQUEAL HAPPENS. I TALK TO JEEP AND THEY SAY BECAUSE THAT CONDITION IS DESCRIBED IN THE MANUAL IT DOES NOT WARRANT A FIX BY THE ADDED WARRANTY COMPANY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. AND MY SAFETY NEXT TO THE STALLED CAR IS DANGEROUS. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES, ALWAYS WHEN DRIVING DURING HOT WEATHER ON HIGHWAYS.
