Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Vehicle goes out of gears while driving on the freeway for about 20mins in hot weather, this was going about 70 mph. The "prnds" light flash for a quick second and back into gear again. I have various issues with harsh shifts up and down, especially in the lower gears. While slowing down to a stop the vehicle has a hot time going in to second gear and sometime first. It makes a very noticeable clunk sound when it does. From a stop, giving just a bit of gas and the car don't seem to move then it will surge until the speed comes up. While getting up to speed it will try to get into the highest gear as soon as possible, i would be in 6th gear while only going 35mph. There are some safety issues involved and that is why i'm taking the time to file.
