| DRIVING FROM PALM SPRINGS TO LOS ANGELES ON HIGHWAY 10, A VERY LOUD CLUNK HEARD BENEATH THE DRIVERS SEAT AND VEHICLE LOST POWER BUT CONTINUED TO REV. SLOWLY RECOVERED. ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER, AT SPEED OF 65 IN TRAFFIC ON HIGHWAY, ANOTHER LOUD GRINDING CLUNK HEARD SOMEWHERE BENEATH DRIVER'S SEAT. VEHICLE AGAIN LOST POWER BUT CONTINUED TO REV.
