Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Transmission downshifts from overdrive to lower gear, when tapping brakes in order to slow down slightly at high speed. going down hill, for example, resulting in sudden surge of rpm, acting like a brake and taking a while to shift back into overdrive. this puts tremendous strain on engine, and results in poor gas mileage. it doesn't seem proper that it should downshift when slowing from 70 to 65. even punching the accelerator doesn't seem to make it go into od until several seconds have passed. 2003 toyota corolla. *la
