TL-s (AT )automatically slows down?

i dont know if this is normal or not but when my car is rolling at around 30-40 mph and i let go of the gas pedal my car slows down to like 20 really quickly like as if i tapped on my brakes but i didnt.

is it because my rotors are rubbing against my brakes or something else or is this just normal?

It happens most when you going up hill, down hill, incline, uneven roads. You dont have to have your foot on the pedal if your cruising, just coast. If you're not going on an incline and the tranny keeps dropping, i think you might have a tranny problem.

Just drive normal. As you get used to it, you can anticipate when the downshift will occur and you'll save on brakes and gas.

That's enough. This isn't how to handle a black market problem. Stop threadjacking. You're punishing the rest of us.
