File date	01/06/10

Description of the problem	Check engine light would come on (& go off) repeatedly. Additionally, transmission would 'jerk' on deceleration just before vehicle stopped (light drivetrain had to catch up with the engine). Took vehicle to dealer, who stated there was nothing wrong. Returned several days later with same engine light illuminated. Dealer kept vehicle for over a week; finally determined a daughter-board on the transmission control module had failed and replaced ($600). Two days later, check engine light came on again. Returned to the dealer, who (after 3 days) determined that the entire transmission control module had failed ($1000 to replace). Replaced entire tcm (which other dealers told me seldom if ever fails). 3 months later, problem returned.
