I was driving down I-35 in the arbuckle mountains in oklahoma going 70mph when my car suddenly disengaged the cruise control and downshifted to first gear. It felt like the brakes were being applied forcefully and then the car returned to driving normally. This happened two more times until I was able to pull off on the shoulder as I had almost gotten into an accident the first time it did it. During this time the car was in the drive selector and when the problem would happen the car would show it had entered sport mode and then the downshifting would occur. This would happen without warning and suddenly, without any input from me. This terrified me as I was going at such a high speed and it was sprinkling out and a car was following closely behind me. Luckily I was not involved in

12-9-13 transmission issue brought to Ford deale email to Ford: subject: repair order 43617 I would appreciate Ford to have a consideration of the following: 1. I would like to see a new transmission put into this 2013 boss 302 laguna saga with under 6000 miles. 2. Resurface fly wheel. 3. Replacing the clutch and pressure plate. I paid over $66,000k for this vehicle . And for Ford to have the nerve of placing a made in china "getrag" mt-82 into an american muscle car is in my opinion is despicable. *tr
