ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
REGARDLESS OF DISTANCE TRAVELED, OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE, THE 'TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP' MESSAGE APPEARS ON THE DASH. HAD COOLANT FLUSHED 2X BUT MESSAGE STILL APPEARS INTERMITTENTLY. HAD MECHANIC LOOK AT MORE THAN A FEW TIMES, HOWEVER COULD NOT REPLICATE MESSAGE AND THUS NO RESOLUTION/FIX TO PROBLEM. JEEP RECENTLY HAD IGNITION SWITCH RECALL COMPLETED (THOUGHT THAT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN) BUT 'TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP' WOULD OCCUR PRIOR TO THAT RECALL BEING COMPLETED. THOUGHT THE TWO WERE CONNECTED SOMEHOW. MAIN CONCERN IS THE ENGINE DOES NOT OVERHEAR, TEMP READS BELOW MIDDLE MARK BUT WHEN TRANSMISSION MESSAGE APPEARS, AFTER A FEW MINUTES, TRANSMISSION FEELS 'OFF' OR JUMPY. SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY HAPPENING. NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, NOT CONFIDENT TAKING IT ON LONG TRIPS BECAUSE OF POSSIBLE DAMAGE THAT MAY OCCUR, NOT TO MENTION BEING STRANDED. THIS IS MY GIRLFRIENDS TRUCK AND I'M NOT COMFORTABLE HAVING HER DRIVE TOO FAR, ESPECIALLY IN THE EVENING. HIS IS INCONVENIENT BECAUSE WE TAKE CARE OF OUR VEHICLES, THIS TRUCK HAS LOW MILES, 62,000. WOULD REALLY LIKE TO RESOLVE THIS BECAUSE WE LOVE THE TRICK BUT CANNOT TRUST TAKING IT ON TRIPS, TOWING OUR BOAT WHICH WAS THE ORIGINAL PURPOSE OF HAVING TRUCK. WHAT A STRESSFUL VEHICLE TO HAVE. VERY DISSATISFIED WITH THIS TRUCK. AGAIN, THE TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP WOULD OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY, ON THE HIGHWAY AT TIMES, IN TRAFFIC, SMALL TRIPS, AFTER SITTING PARKED AFTER A SHORT TRIP, MESSAGE REAPPEARS ONCE TRUCK IS STARTED AGAIN. NO RHYME OF REASON TO THIS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
RE: IGNITION SWITCH RECALL (P41): I AM NOW GOING ON 2 YEARS WITH A FAULTY IGINITION SWITCH THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED. WHEN I LAST CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP (LARRY H MILLER JEEP, RIVERDALE, UTAH) I WAS INFORMED THEY DO HAVE THE PARTS FOR THE RECALL, BUT THEY "DO NOT HAVE THE SPECIFIC PART" FOR MY JEEP. HOW LONG IS IT REASONABLE TO WAIT FOR A RECALL TO BE DEALT WITH? I JUST WANT MY JEEP FIXED AND I GROW TIRED OF LARRY MILLER AUTO GROUP SENDING ME MAILINGS SAYING THEY WILL BUY BACK MY JEEP AND PUT ME IN A NEW CAR. HOW LONG MUST ONE WAIT FOR A RECALL TO BE FIXED?
