While driving the vehicle on interstate 270 at around 50 to 60 mph, the vehicle transmission down shifted upon breaking with a loud clunking noise. When I went to reaccelerate, the vehicle was unresponsive as though it was stuck in a higher gear and would not down shift to accellerate. This problem has reoccurred frequently so now when I drive on the highway, I set the cruise control to make sudden acceleration and decelleration unneccessary but the car still clunks out of gear upon exiting the highway.
