[wpilot]

I took my first trip in the pilot this weekend. Wonderful except for one problem. The slightest hill on the Interstate caused the gearbox to first unlock the torque converter and then downshift. I was alone and no load in the vehicle. I have a Nissan van with 80 less horsepower that does not do this. I experienced this with and without cruise control. My inclination is the throttle is too sensitive in that I have also noticed a lot of downshifting during mild in-town driving as well.

Any similar experiences or clues as to what may be causing this?

Thanks,
