| Description of the problem | While driving on the highway for approximately an hour, going from 65-75 mph, and occasionally using the cruise control, the transmission overheat light turned on. I slowed to about 60 mph and exited at the next off ramp, which was slightly uphill. While in motion, the vehicle lost power. I used the remaining momentum to pull over to the shoulder and turned off the vehicle. I read the manual, which states to let the transmission cool down and then continue driving. I did as it said and continued to my destination without the warning light returning, but the car felt sluggish and the automatic transmission was shifting roughly. I was not towing or carrying anything in the car. The car has about 58,000 miles, is serviced regularly, and has not had any problems before this. |
