The vehicle will lose speed sensing and then the transmission shifts gears or is erratic and jumps back and forth between gears. Worst case i was approximately doing 40 mph, speedometer went to 0 the truck shifted from 4th gear to 1st gear. Usually the erratic behavior is at lower speed and lower gears, but is gradually getting worse.

This is dangerous because as your traveling it will loose power and it's hard to get off the road sometimes and could cause an accident. We…
