Consumer Description

THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT DOWNSHIFT FROM THIRD GEAR UNLESS THE VEHICLE COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP. WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE INTO TRAFFIC DURING CITY DRIVING THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS UNRESPONSIVE AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE. ALSO THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO HAVE HARSH SHIFTS FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR AND FROM SECOND TO THIRD GEAR EVEN AFTER ALL RECALLS HAVE BEEN PERFORMED.
