Description of the problem	While the vehicle was in motion the truck suddenly downshifted and caused the engine to rev to max rpms. This resulted in a sudden jolt of the entire vehicle and rapid deceleration. Vehicles traveling behind me had to slam their brakes to narrowly avoid rear ending me because the truck slowed down so suddenly and with no brake lights as a warning. On several occasions in the last 2 days since this happened, the speedometer has acted erratically by going up and down from 0 to highway speed of 60mph while i was traveling with cruise control set at 60. The transmission seems to shift erratically into a gear that would match the speed of where the speedometer indicates even though the true speed is 60mph. These sudden down shifts seem to have damaged my transmission because the truck now has issues going into gear from a stop and will rev to over 4000 rpm without shifting into 1st gear to start moving. Once it's moving, the transmission often shifts erratically when the speedometer acts up. I will not drive the truck anymore except to have it repaired because it is too dangerous.
