Description of the problem | When driving at normal highways speeds for extended periods the transmission temp warning light will come on and slow the vehicle speed to 40mph or less and if you do not pull the vehicle over and shut it off it will lose all power to the transmission and the vehicle will stop moving totally. This has happened several times, the first being a two hour trip from chesapeake virginia to richmond. We took the highway and maintained the speed limit of 55-70 mph as posted and about one hour into our journey the vehicle lost power abruptly and slowed to 40 mph while we were traveling 70 in the left lane and then totally lost all forward travel almost causing us to be slammed into by an 18 wheeler. The most recent time was two days ago july 18,2018. We were driving to connecticut from chesapeake virginia and about three and half hours into our journey the transmission temp warning light came on and the vehicle within less than 2 minutes had lost all forward motion leaving us stuck in the left lane on the new jersey turnpike for atleast half an hour while cars zoomed by. We were traveling the posted speed limit of 65 mph. Then again a few hours later in the trip it did the exact same thing. I called the dealership and they said that it |
