Hi All,
I check this forum almost daily for all the great advice given here. Much appreciated.
My vehicle is a 2011 GT Automotic 4WD, with just over 1K miles now.
My problem happened halfway into an hour drive on the highway. I was following someone, so I was driving in and around 60-75mph. At one point, I think I fell below 60mph and the automatic transmission shifted down to 5th gear, and when I tried to speed up back over 60mph, the car did not respond and accelerate. At this point, I could smell something burning, not alot but very distinct and noticable. I slowed down because I wasn't sure what was happening. After less than a minute of this, I decided to try and catch up with the person I was following and everything seemed ok again. But I did smell that burning smell a 2nd time, as I was driving maybe about 5 minutes later. Not sure at what point that occured and if the automatic was in between the 5th and 6th gear again.
On my drive home though, I had no issues, and I was regularly driving 70+ mph. I probably have to bring it into my dealer, but I am not sure if this is something that they could repeat as it only occured once in a short span of 5-10 minutes. I am not the greatest when it comes to cars/mechanics, so any advice or opinions on this would be very helpful to me.
Thanks in advance!
