Consumer Description

SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING, USUALLY IN MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN OR PULLING A LOAD, THE VEHICLE WILL DOWN SHIFT MULTIPLE GEARS. INSTEAD OF A PROGRESSION OF ONE GEAR AT A TIME, IT IS A SUDDEN SHIFT FROM LE. FOURTH TO SECOND OR FIRST. I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT REDUCTION AS MY VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE A GEAR INDICATOR. IT OCCURS SPORADICALLY WITH NO WARNING. THIS ACTION HAS NEVER CAUSED A DANGEROUS SITUATION BUT IS CONCERNING. THE ENGINE RPM HAS JUMPED TO THE RED LINE WHICH I FEEL MAY CAUSE ENGINE AND/OR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS.
