Consumer Description

IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO SWITCHING FROM 3RD TO 4TH GEAR, THE VEHICLE LOSES R.P.M.'S AND POWER THEN CATCHES AND CHANGES GEARS. IT IS ONLY IN THIS GEAR SHIFT --3RD TO 4TH. I HAVE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY SAY IT IS WITHIN DESIGN PARAMETERS. I TEST DROVE OTHER IDENTICAL CARS AND THIS PROBLEM IS NOT DETECTED. IT IS DANGEROUS TO LOSE SUCH POWER, ESPECIALLY AT OR AROUND HIGHWAY MERGE SPEEDS.
