POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION OPERATES ERRATICALLY; WHENEVER VEHICLE REACHES HIGH GEAR, TRANSMISSION WOULD FAIL TO DOWNSHIFT. ALSO, WHENEVER CONSUMER TRIES TO SLOW DOWN, VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP UNLESS CONSUMER SLAMS HARD ON BRAKES. THIS CONDITION OCCURS CONSISTENTLY WITHIN THE FIRST 10 TO 15 MILES OF DRIVING. CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO THREE DIFFERENT DEALERS, AND NO CORRECTION WAS MADE. COULD NHTSA HELP IN ANY WAY? THANK YOU. *AK
