What owners wrote

I bought the car about a month ago. And today I experienced the car while driving at 55MPH when I went to accelerate to go the speed limit of 65 on the major highway going into salisbury, md that the car wouldnt speed up. And about 30 seconds later the transmission seemed to have down shifted a couple gears due to the rpms going from 4600ish RPM down to 2000 rpms and than the car went back to normal.
