2011 Mazda cx9 all wheeldrive. When I push brakes on down hill when it is high speed, gear shifts from 6 to3 or 5 to 3 or 4to 3. Is it normal? Or it's starting going bad....
Thank you all.
Well if you're pushing on the brakes that's relatively normal if you just take your foot off the gas that's not normal
Yes your car could be designed to downshift if it notices you are braking, but your speed is increasing. Scared me the first time my GX470 did it on a downhill, I normally shift into a lower gear as needed, but that time I was accelerating pretty fast on a straight descent with some braking, and it downshifted for me.
You may want to look it up on your car, but many do that and it is nothing to worry about, it is rather nice to have if you ask me.
