Driving down the interstate its about 85 degrees out and im going 70 mph. The transmission over heat light come on and it says to slow down. I didn't have a choice because the car started slowing down on its own. About 5 miles a pull over at a exit. I let it sit for about 15 minutes. Everything cleared up and I was able to make it home with no more problems.
