Description of the problem	When i first bought it i heard a whistling sound and was told it was nothing. I travel a lot and while on the interstate i went from going 75 mph to 30 and it wouldn't accelerate. I would pull over and wait about 10 minutes until i could accelerate. Initially i thought it was the fuel line so i put fuel injector in it and it a couple days later it happened while i was on the interstate again. This has happened to me at least 5 times. I can't even drive it on the interstate. After taking it to the multiple mechanics i was told that it was the transmission and it will need to be replaced.
