Consumer Description

I JUST BOUGHT A 2003 HONDA PILOT WITH 164,000 MILES ON IT A FEW DAYS AGO AND NOTICED THE TRANSMISSION WASN'T SHIFTING CORRECTLY. IT SEEMED LIKE IT WOULD SOMETIMES OVER REV BEFORE SHIFTING BUT THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT. LAST NIGHT I PICKED MY GRANDCHILDREN UP FROM TOWN AND WAS HEADING BACK UP THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 55MPH, ALL OF A SUDDEN IT JERKED BACK AND DOWNSHIFTED TO 2ND GEAR, LUCKILY NO ONE WAS BEHIND OR THEY WOULD'VE HIT US. I NOTICED THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT THAT TIME ALSO.
