Consumer Description

THE GEAR SELECTOR INDICATOR DISPLAY ON THE DASH IS FLASHING AND THE CAR IS DOING ITS OWN THING CHANGING GEARS. IT WILL NOT PROPERLY ACCELERATE CAUSING A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE ANYWHERE BUT ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR WAS PROPERLY ACCELERATING ON THE HIGHWAY BEFORE THE DISPLAY STARTING FLASHING AND THE CAR DOWNSHIFTED (INTO EITHER 3RD OR 4TH) AND REFUSES TO UPSHIFT AGAIN. I THINK THIS IS RELATED TO A MECHATRONIC UNIT FAILURE IN THE 2009-2010 RECALLS.
