Cruise o Matic C4s, called dual-range C4s, have an odd drive gear selection. The order goes P - R - N - D2(Small Dot)- D1(Large Dot)- L, where small dot is called "rain gear", and the car starts in 2nd gear and shifts to 3rd. Large Dot is 1 -2-3, where you would normally drive. You might be driving it in D2(small Dot) and mistaking the 2nd to 3rd shift as the 1st to 2nd.

Just a thought.
