Description of the problem	The contact stated that while using the air conditioner and coasting from 45 mph to 35 mph, the vehicle downshifted hard enough to jolt the car. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis. The mechanic and service manager test drove the vehicle and stated when inspecting the vehicle the failure could not be duplicated. It was recommended to bring the car back when the problem recurred. The failure recurred numerous times. Around 20000 miles the hard shifting also began to occur while the car was accelerating. The owner requested to bring the car to the dealership while the incident was occurring, but the dealership declined as they were busy and to call back after the holiday. When the owner called back after the holiday, the service person asked if the car felt like it was shifting hard. The owner stated yes, and was told that this feeling is normal in a cvt transmission and there was no need to bring the vehicle into the dealership. The car shifts so hard, sometimes the tires squeal. This happens often in traffic and will cause an accident, especially in icy or wet conditions. To date, the vehicle had not been repaired. *jb
