Consumer Description

WHEN I'M GOING DOWN A DECLINE AT AROUND 40MPH AND THE TRANSM. IS IN 4TH GEAR AND I AM COASTING AND BEGIN TO APPLY THE BRAKE THE CARE WILL SHIFT INTO 3RD GEAR AND REV THE ENGINE TO AROUND 3500-4000 RPM. I FEEL THIS SUDDEN UNEXPECTED TRANSMISSION SHIFT COULD CAUSE A LOSS OF TRACTION ON SLIPPERY ROADS WHICH IS THE PURPOSE OF MY BUYING AN ALL WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE.
