Q: Downshifts suddenly automatic locks
I recently had my automatic transmission repaired. It will drive fine for a while and then all of a sudden will downshift and stay like that until my car is turned off and started again. My automatic door locking has stopped working too. Do you know what’s wrong, and how I can fix these problems?
