The temperature that afternoon was 109 and I had driven from an altitude of 7,000 feet to 1,200 feet. There was also a significant drop in temperature from the higher elevation. A highway patrol officer stopped to offer assistance and noted he had worked in dealership and the problem was common. …”
NHTSA complaint #11104996, filed 2018-07, 14,600 miles“Driving on the highway at approximately 60 MPH. Sunroof and shade were both closed. I was accelerating slowly.
