While driving car speed starts to fall soon there is no pedal at all and smoke and fire come from underneath dashboard transmission hesitates to shift now currently un safe to drive.
I have noticed this problem for the past 2+ winters on my car. The first time it happened, I was going home from work on a cold winter night. I got the freeway and accelerated to 55 mph. I then set the cruise control (as I normally do in light traffic). I noticed that the car's engine was still revving a lot more than it should. I looked down and noticed that I was doing 70 mph. I immediately stepped on the brake to deactivate the cruise control. I continued to notice this issue all winter. I set the cruise at 40 mph and noticed that it went up by about 20 mph above the setting before it finally stopped accelerating and settled back to the cruise set speed (or close to it). In the warm weather this problem disappears.
Gas mileage reduced after 30000 mile service. Used to get 30-32 mpg on highway driving 70 mph. Currently, gets 29 mpg on highway at same speed.
