Downshifting and auto lock

Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! It sounds like your car is having a bit of a rough time with the downshifting and auto-locking issue. This kind of problem can be quite puzzling, especially when it happens unpredictably. It could be something electronic that's causing the transmission and locking system to act up together. Sometimes, a glitch in the vehicle's control system can cause these kinds of symptoms. I recommend getting it checked out by a professional who can run diagnostics on the electronic systems. They can pinpoint any issues and get things running smoothly again. In the meantime, if the problem gets worse or you notice any new symptoms, try to keep track of those details, as they might help in diagnosing the issue. If you have any other questions, please call us at 877-913-1554! We'll gladly find you a certified RepairPal shop in your area!
