Your vehicle has been designed to improve fuel economy by reducing

fuel usage while coasting or decelerating. When you take your foot off

the accelerator pedal and the vehicle begins to slow down, the torque

converter clutch locks up and aggressively shuts off fuel flow to the

engine while decelerating. This fuel economy benefit may be perceived

as a light to medium braking sensation when removing your foot from

the accelerator pedal.
