| Description of the problem | Sometimes vehicle will start or get stuck in 5th either from the start or during deceleration. Engine revs, but forward motion compromised. More concerning is the intermittent downshifting at highway speeds. Speedometer has failed and turns off, reads 0 rmp. Gear indicator and tramsmission position will drop to 1st, go back to 5th, and waver anywhere in between. This has even locked up my rear wheels at 70mph. Pretty scary! This has happened a handful of times now. Thankfully, i have been able to shift to neutral, get to the shoulder, kill the engine, restart and go. I wrote this today b/c i got a wrench light finally, so hopefully they can diagnose this intermittent issue. |
