Definitely NOT. Early June we started off for San Diego following the old US 99 through Washington and Oregon. We made an number of side trips to photograph wooden covered bridges in Oregon. We reached the California northern border with temperatures around 98F. Experienced the same problem as the previous aborted trip to San Diego - loss of 4th & 3rd gears, ABS light on, speedo reading zero. In Yreka, 104F, the problem thought to be heat related. In Redding, 108F, DW & RT had enough. We headed for the coast where it was 54F and returned to Canada without even a suggestion of the problem.
The problem was eventually diagnosed as the Vehicle Speed Sensor, which was replaced. So far, we have had no re-occurrence, nor have we had any really hot weather. Currently we are in Ontario, by way of BC, AB, SK, ND, SD, MN, IA, IL, IN, MI and headed for Quebec.
