Consumer Description

Upon braking and downshifting, transmission occasionally erroneously falls out of gear without user input. The "D" indicator around the shift knob and in the instrument panel display will blink. The instrument panel will also display the message "Shift to P then Desired Gear". A drop in engine RPM can be observed before the erroneous shift. The engine remains running and the transmission remains in a neutral state at this time. This can be dangerous when it occurs upon braking for a railroad crossing or yield and merge situation in which I cannot accelerate into traffic or away from an oncoming train. The transmission can be re-engaged only after shifting to P then back to D.
