#749729August 3, 2001
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE A JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION HAS A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. THE TRANSMISSION LOCKS IN 3RD GEAR GIVING YOU THE FALSE IMPRESSION THAT YOU ARE IN NEUTRAL OR FAILS TO ACCELERATE SUFFICIENTLY WHEN IN TRAFFIC. I ALMOST EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN ACCELERATION INCIDENT WITH MY DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION. IT WAS A COMBINATION OF MY ERROR AND THE DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION. I WOULD BE GLAD TO EXPLAIN THE INCIDENT. CALL 703-838-6624 DURING NORMAL BUSINESS HOURS.*AK
