Description of the problem	This vehicle has one owner, which is me, and the transmission, downshifts and skips a gear when cold and almost caused an accident. People were almost injured and someone could have been killed. When the transmission is cold, and on a freeway and than exiting, and slowing down to 35 to 45 mph on exit the car transmission kicks and like someone is hitting you in the back, and skips a gear.
