Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Automatic transmission hesitation - when needing to accelerate quickly (as when entering a freeway) after slowing down or coasting, the transmission has downshifted to a too-low gear or neutral. the engine speeds up to approximately 5000 rpm without increasing the car speed. letting up on the gas and accelerating more easily allows the vehicle speed to increase. so far, this hesitation has not caused me to be rear-ended. the dealer says this operation is "normal." *nm
