Traffic Safety Administration website said that the software problem may cause
the transmissions to inadvertently shift to sport mode, removing any
transmission-related engine braking effect." The Times notes that "GM
said in a statement that the issue was discovered on a 2014 engineering
development vehicle" and that company hasn't received any complaints or
reports of crashes.
