Consumer Description

THE CAR HAS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION THAT DOWNSHIFTS ON ITS OWN FROM AUTOMATIC (D) TO M1 (THE LOWEST MANUAL GEAR). WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE CAR IMMEDIATELY SLOWS AND THE ENGINE RPMS INCREASE TOWARD THE RED LINE. IT HAPPENS ABOUT EVERY 250 MILES OR SO, USUALLY WHEN I AM GOING ABOUT 20-25 MILES AN HOUR IN CITY DRIVING. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED, I WAS HOLDING A CUP OF COFFEE AND IT SPILLED OVER MY LAP. I AM WORRIED THAT IT COULD HAPPEN WHEN ANOTHER CAR IS FOLLOWING CLOSELY AND RESULT IN A REAR END COLLISION. THERE WOULD BE NO WARNING OF THE SLOW DOWN TO THE OTHER DRIVER SINCE THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD NOT GO ON. *TR
