Driving in hill areas of PA, NY and CT - problems occur intermittently
Issues:
1. When using Cruise Control, car fails to downshift. This occurs on extended uphill runs where the vehicle will just slow down or at bottom of hill after a downhill run where engine will race.
2. Engine races when additional power is requested on hills or accelerating for lane change in traffic. There is no acceleration - actually more like car has popped into neutral. If you take your foot off the gas, the car will begin to accelerate slowly.
Not sure if I'm looking at a fuel delivery or transmission issue.
Any comment would be appreciated.
