Description of the problem	Sudden downshift at highway speed. Vehicle was in motion, 60 mph. Several occurrences until vehicle was safely removed from roadway. Speedometer showed "0 mph" when downshifts occurred. Rear wheels skidded on dry pavement creating extremely unsafe situation. It being unsafe to drive, had it towed to dealer. Stated unsafe to drive and transmission downshifts to lowest gear at highway speeds. Service writer described problem as speedometer problem and did not state a sudden downshift occurred. Service writer entered mileage as 125,002 instead of around 40,000. I gave the service writer several printed instances of downshift occurrences i obtained from various websites. Did not seem interested. If anyone searches databases, the problem would show as a high mileage vehicle with a speedometer problem, instead of a low mileage vehicle supposedly still under warranty with a severe transmission safety issue. Cost, $1049. 61 and not covered under warranty (as per dealer) and simply a speed sensor issue.
