WHEN ON THE INTERSTATE AFTER ABOUT TWO HOURS MY VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE. WHEN I PRESS THE GAS THE RPM'S GO UP BUT THE VEHICLE DOES NOTHING. IF I PULL OFF THE ROAD FOR A FEW MINUTES IT IS FINE FOR A LITTLE LONGER BUT WILL REOCCURS IN FREQUENCY DEPENDING ON THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE. MY VEHICLE HAS A CVT TRANSMISSION WHICH HAS BEEN REPLACED ONCE IN JULY/AUGUST OF 2013. THE NEW TRANSMISSION HAS THE SAME ISSUE AND I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE SHOP TWICE NOW IS NOT FIXED. *TR
