| Description of the problem | I was driving on the 241 toll road up a steep hill going approximately 65 mph and the engine down shifted into a lower gear, the engine began revving high, the rpm went high, and i lost speed. I pulled off to the side of the road. I put the vehicle in park while i called my husband because i did not know what was happening to the vehicle. I wanted to let him know in case i was stranded on the side of the road. We decided we wanted to try to get the vehicle home, if possible. I put the vehicle back in drive and got back on the highway and it did not do it again and i made it home. |
