Component | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | The transmission sometimes hunts for the proper gear. It also has tried to accelerate when slowing down to a stop. I live on a mountain and when descending i manually shift the transmission to 3rd gear, but when i do, the car will speed up before slowing down. This will cause a problem on snow covered roads. After doing some research, i found that other jeep owner's had the same issue and re-flashing the control module did not resolve the problem, so i have not taken the vehicle back to the dealer for the re-flash. *jb |
