| Description of the problem | While driving on the interstate at 75 mph on a hot day 90 degrees. I was using max a/c. Car was fine and suddenly felt sluggish and wouldn't accelerate. I pulled off at next available exit, after a complete stop the car refused to move then suddenly accelerated slowly similar to when an abrupt brake is applies and car moves very slowly (extremely dangerous condition all the rouges have) i shut off the a/c and let car rest for 5 minutes then got back on the highway, although feeling sluggish i arrived at my destination. On my ride home several hours later i did not use a/c and outside temps had dropped to mid 70, the car appeared fine. I will note that this problem also occurred 2 years earlier in the summer of 2013 at 87,000 miles during another long highway trip driving in high temps. In this case i cancelled trip and brought car to the dealer after cool down period, the problem didn't present itself, no dash lights or codes same as previous. The dealer charged me $1800. 00 to change dirty transmission fluid. Problem is back again at 112,000 miles. There is a serious problem with these cars that is "dangerous". Had i needed to come to an abrupt stop on the highway i would not be able to move out of the way and as a separate issue when you abruptly brake the car can't get out of it's own way and has scared me several times. |
