Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Automatic transmission slips/skips while speeding up around twenty five miles per hour, and this occurs when breaking quickly. when breaking quickly, car will then jump forward when the transmission catches. i believe this has always slightly been there, but i believe my slow driving has masked the issue. i had the transmission fluid changed and then the dealer did two recall changes, and after the skipping issues was very much there. after reading the other complaints, i am sure this is the tip of the iceberg. prd. *nm
