What owners say
While riving on the interstate 55mph the transmission slipped out of gear, and the engine was just racing. Pulled off the road to reset the vehicle. The car was in overdrive, slipped out of overdrive to second gear. Pulled over again to restart. Was going up the hill, heard a clunking noise and could feel it. Then it dropped into a lower gear. Was told by a local transmission shop that a computer sensor which was attached to the transmission went out. As a result, transmission replaced.
The transmission slipped into low gear while traveling 70 miles per hour, which instantly slowed the vehicle down to 45 miles per hour. This occurred on a highway where the speed limit is 70 MPH. We were stuck in low gear. After we stopped and the vehicle sat a while, it would go back into high gear. This happened when we were several hundred miles from home. When we returned home, we had the transmission replaced.
Transmission failed causing gears to downshift and slip without notice causing loss of control.
