does it do it at steady speed and foot still, auto boxes gear down if you press peddle

My auto did that a few times, I just thought it was the kickdown, abeit coming in a bit premature, I used to get annoyed as it would'nt change down when I wanted it to, In the end I sold it as I just did'nt get on with the auto box
