Auto Trans downshifting too often / Brake rotors wear rough
I just purchased a 2009 GT Vibe with 5 speed auto with 500 miles on it so far. It seems like every time I give it a little gas, the transmission downs shift before it accelerates. Is this normal? Also, the brake rotors wear rough...Is it caused by the brake pads? Sure, it has a lot of brake dusts...Thanks,

Your tranny runs in the highest gear it can, so the downshifting is normal. Shift it yourself.Quote, originally posted by Glenpointe » Sure, it has a lot of brake dusts...That's what happens when the brake pads are wearing in.
