Consumer Description

WHEN DRIVING 2009 EOS, AFTER ACCELERATING I SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL, THEN SHIFTED BACK TO D A WHILE LATER. THE CAR WENT TO A LOW GEAR (LIKE 2ND) INAPPROPRIATE FOR MY SPEED, AND THE PRNDS INDICATORS ON THE DASHBOARD STARTED FLASHING. I WAS UNABLE TO RESTORE NORMAL OPERATION WITHOUT RESTARTING THE CAR. I SHIFTED BACK TO NEUTRAL AND TURNED THE CAR OFF, THEN ON, TO GET IT TO BEHAVE. NEEDLESS TO SAY THIS WAS QUITE UNEXPECTED AND DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC. I WOULD'VE NEEDED TO SLOW TO 20MPH OR SO IN A 40MPH AREA TO GET THE ENGINE RPMS TO A SPEED APPROPRIATE TO THE GEAR. I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU'RE ALREADY LOOKING INTO INCIDENTS WITH THIS TRANSMISSION, SO I THOUGHT I SHOULD PROVIDE AN ACCOUNT OF MY INCIDENT. *TR
