vehicle surges while cruising
About 2 weeks ago, we were driving on the interstate. We'd been driving for an hour. We had it on cruise doing about 70. Suddenly, the RPMs surged, the car downshifted, maybe to 3, even 2nd. We made a pit stop, I checked the transmission fluid. No problem. Got back out on the highway, and it did it twice more. There was not way to turn around and so we kep going. We were on our way to Minneapolis. The problem did not resurface, and we kept driving to our destination, another 4 hours or so. Three days later, we'd been driving for maybe four hours or five hours, and the car starts surging again. We got home okay, largely because we were in a snowstorm and coudl only do about 20 mph. But, last week we were ourt again. After an hour of driving the RPM start to "dance" again, downshifting to 3, may be 2nd, then back to 4th. This continued intermittently. We got to our destination. On the return home, we had no problme for the first hour, and then it started all over again. Any one have any advise? This problem cannot be left. This car's my dream car, my baby.
