Description of the problem	The transmission (6spd automatic w/v6 engine) of this vehicle is known to have issues that will surprise you if you aren't already aware of them. The issue affecting safety the most, is the occasional engine acceleration while applying the brakes as the transmission downshifts to a lower gear. It causes the car to actually accelerate momentarily as you apply the brake even harder to arrest the increased speed. I was driving up a slight incline at about 35-40 mph when all of a sudden the car in front of me came to a complete stop because the car in front of her had stopped completely. I had driven this road for more than 30 years and had never seen anyone come to a complete stop as the first car did in this area. Five(5) of us were all surprised. I was the third car. As i firmly applied my brakes, the car initially slowed down but then it felt as if it was trying to accelerate and unfortunately i was unable to stop in time, although i only lightly tapped the car in front of me, followed by 3 more cars in back of me. At first i was surprised that i wasn't able to stop in time and then it occurred to me that the strange feeling i felt as the vehicle slowed was as if the engine had accelerated as it downshifted causing the braking action to not be as good as it should have been. Since i knew the car occasionally did this i thought i should report this as possibly contributing to my problem and put it on record in case you had other reports like this.
