Bought this Expy from the Gov't in 2005 with 130K miles on it. Now has 267K and have never even had a trouble light! What a great car it has been! Now have a 2007 as well.
Anyway, Yesterday when climbing a grade, I noticed a severe speed drop and my engine started to bog down because my transmission would not downshift. I reached over and pushed my OD OFF button and she perked right up and did as she was supposed to. Does anyone have an idea as to what the problem is? It shifts through all gears when on level ground. But on that grade... and a couple of others, it would not downshift from OD unless I pressed to take it out of OD. Thanks in advance! :D
