Description of the problem	Transmission would shift on its own erratically. While travelling in 6th gear at 70 mph it would downshift to 1st locking tires briefly and then back to speed after letting off the pedal. The instrument panel would go blank and the needles would stop working while still moving. It cant be duplicated and does it without warning. It had done it at various speeds once it was in 5th or 6th gear with or without the cruise control on. Several times and it would not even turn the "check engine" light on. Would have a wrench with ok button. Was getting on highway during one occasion and it lost power almost causing a merge collision due to i couldn't accelerate. I limped it off the side off road, shut it down, restarted and then was able to take off again. I just had it repaired and now seems to be working as i have tried many situations nervously awaiting it to fail if it is the fix. The lead frame in transmission was replaced. This was a recall issue for the 2011-2012 models and should be the same for 2013 or any model with this design. It causes very dangerous situations and could be fatal in certain traffic situations. I physically watched cars back off me while travelling 60 mph and my tires must have smoke without brake lights when it shifted down and chirped the tires unexpectedly. Not happy since i only have couple months on these new tires as well. The transmission always seemed to have a hard shift point between 4,5 and 6th gear.
