Consumer Description

MY TRANSMISSION FAILS AND REVS HIGH WHEN I ACCELERATE TOO HARD OR AM GOING UP A HILL CAUSING A DOWNSHIFT. THIS IS MOST COMMON WHEN SWITCHING BETWEEN THE 5TH AND 6TH GEARS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM COMMON IN MANY VEHICLES OF THIS MODEL YEAR. IF I SUDDENLY CAN'T ACCELERATE GOING 60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND DROP DOWN TO 40MPH AS I WAIT FOR THE RPMS TO GO BACK DOWN, THERE IS A SERIOUS RISK OF BEING REAR ENDED OR SIDE SWIPED DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION. THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN BUT IT SHOULD BE A RECALL. THE FIX WOULD COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. *TR
