Yeah, sorry. It is an auto. The reason why i ask is because my old
ford didn't do this.

Yes it is normal.

Really? Do the RPMs rise when you step on the gas, too? You should
probably get that looked at.

You'll also notice that when the small needle hits the big "E" the car
stops completely.

Actually, in case you are serious, higher compression engines slow
down more than low compression engines when you stop feeding it gas.

checked? 

If it has always done this than no its normal,if its new than what does
your logic tell you. When you are sick what should you do , I hope you
can figure it out.

There are 2 possibilities I can think of:

- ECU needs updating to allow for the 3rd to 4th shift to be more smoother
- If that fails, have the dealer check for codes, specifically for the shift
solonoid. I used to have this issue with my 2002 Camry LE V6, and the
programming did not help and the engine light came on and the solonoid was
replaced and now, its smooth as can be.

Further to my post, if you are going downhill, there is a "grade logic"
being built into the transmission and system that provides lower engine revs
to assist in downhill braking. This is NORMAL and is working as designed.

I can relate to you as I owned a 1999 Ford Taurus (piece of junk compared to
the Camry) and there are notible differences in refinement and driving feel
between the 2 cars.

As for the other posts, you can ignore the sarcastic comments as they
probably misconstrued your comments or interpreted it in a different manner.
