Every time that I start the vehicle a message flashes saying that transmission is overheating, even if less than 20 F outside and the vehicle has been sitting for a couple of days.
I'm thinking that there is something in the software causing the error. As the message only really stayed on and was believable when I was towing a trailer uphill on the 15 and it was a warm day.
The other problem is that I have had the traction control and ABS shut off, and found a hint on how to reset. Turn the wheel full left then full right a couple of times. Then shut off, and then after I was in 2nd gear the next day the message was gone. I suspect that it was because I was braking hard due to being cutoff to avoid hitting another vehicle, and also going over a bump at the same time. Suspect that more than two wheels lost traction coming up to a left turn.
