Driving on manual from 1st gear to 2nd the engine speeds up and car takes over. The gears don't shift and holds back from changing to automatic, braking or slowing down. Cars coming behind several times almost rear ended us with our kids in the back seat. Another incident driving on highway going 45-50 the gears got stuck on down shift and engine speed up, almost hitting the median strip. Third time in February raining the same occurrence, the car takes over.
