Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT 50 MPH, IT SUDDENLY SLAMS INTO THIRD GEAR CAUSING A VIOLENT JERKING AND SUDDEN DECELERATION. THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR REMAINS IN 3RD GEAR FOR A PERIOD OF TIME AND THEN RETURNS TO NORMAL. THIS OCCURRED TWO DAYS IN A ROW. THE SECOND TIME I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED WHEN MY VEHICLE SLAMMED INTO THIRD GEAR. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WIRING HARNESS AND OVERDRIVE SOLENOID WERE DEFECTIVE. ERROR CODE WAS P0765. *TR
