Vehicle downshifts while driving at different speeds. panel reads, flat tires, no fuel, no gauges will work. i was pulling out of a gas station on a major hwy, i gave the vehicle gas to enter the lane, as i was approaching a higher speed , my vehicle downshifted and the vehicle behind me had to slam on their breaks to avoid hitting me in the back. another time at a high rate of speed on an interstate , as i was switching lanes, my vehicle downshifts almost causing another wreck. if it had not been for car seats, my grandchildren would have hit the floor. if it had not been for the other drivers quick actions, people could have been injured or even worse dead. after a few more incidents, i find out a recall for this problem was made, but not on my vehicle . same year, same model, same factory, just not my vin! recall 16s19- nhtsa id# 16v248000 . my vehicle has 74,000 miles on it, so it is not covered under a warranty. notice i'm attached picture. 0 mph, but look at the 2000 rpm. check engine light on. i have a video of it doing this several times.
