What owners wrote
The vehicle was in motion but wouldnt shift would just take the rpms to 7000. The transmission was getting so hot it was making my temperatures gauge for my engine rise. I pulled off on exit 92 on 81 southbound by the time the vehicle came to a stop I was seeing flames coming out from the floorboard. I bought the vehicle certified preowned but I never recieved a recall for the transmission pump as it shows there is one on this website.
