Consumer Description

WHEN DRIVING FOR A PERIOD OF TIME IN HEAT, THE CAR LOSES SPEED AND BEGINS TO DROP ON ITS OWN. AND IF UTILIZING MANUAL, THE GEARS WON'T DOWNSHIFT. I'VE HAD TO PULL OVER NUMEROUS TIMES AND WAIT ABOUT 15 MINS BEFORE DRIVING AGAIN AND IT'S FINE. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE CAR NEEDS A TRANSMISSION COOLER KIT INSTALLED. I'VE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THIS ISSUE AND WONDER WHY A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN DONE ON THIS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND THE CAR SUDDENLY LOSES SPEED. DATE LISTED BELOW IS THE LAST TIME THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED. BUT, HAS HAPPENED PREVIOUSLY A YEAR AGO ON A TRIP AND RECENTLY PRIOR TO LAST TIME, A MONTH AGO.
