| 2011 | POWER TRAIN | WHILE DRIVING DOWNHILL ON A ROAD IN NH, AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, MY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY DOWN SHIFTED FROM 6TH GEAR TO 4TH GEAR AND THEN WITHIN 2 SECONDS THEN DOWNSHIFTED TO 2ND GEAR CAUSING SUDDEN AND SWIFT REDUCTION IN SPEED. NO ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS WERE DISPLAYED. ROADS WERE DRY AND NO ONE WAS IMMEDIATELY BEHIND ME. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY DOWNLOADED THE MOST CURRENT PATCHES FOR MY TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE. ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER (8/27/11) THE SAME THING HAPPENED. AGAIN, GOING DOWNHILL ABOUT 60 MPH, AUTOMATIC DOWNSHIFT FROM 6TH TO 4TH TO 2ND WITH NO WARNING. NO ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS WERE DISPLAYED THIS TIME EITHER. DEALER IS RELUCTANTLY LOOKING AT IT AGAIN, HOPEFULLY THIS WEEK. THEY WANTED TO LOOK AT IT NEXT WEEK, BUT I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. THIS STRIKES ME AS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. THEY SAID THERE WERE NO BULLETINS FOR MY TRANSMISSION. THEY WANTED IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN SO I COULD BE MORE SPECIFIC ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT I WAS ACCELERATING OR NOT. I DID NOT FEEL THEY WERE TAKING IT SERIOUSLY ENOUGH, SO I HAD TO ESCALATE THE SERVICE MANAGER'S DECISION TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT MORE QUICKLY. I AM EVEN MORE RELUCTANT TO DRIVE IT IN INCLEMENT WEATHER, EVEN RAIN. *TR |
