| Description of the problem | I've noticed over the past few weeks my jeep seems hesitant shifting gears, especially going from reverse to drive. This is an automatic transmission. Last week, after backing put of the driveway and starting down the road, the vehicle stalled and read "park vehicle to shift". I had to stop in the middle of the road, and turn the car off twice and restart it in order to get her going again. Luckily, as embarrassing as it was, the vehicles waiting on me were very polite and patient. This happened again yesterday evening. I backed out of my parking spot and turned onto the road. The vehicle stalled out and read "park vehicle to shift". I again turned the car off and went to turn it on. She sputtered and sputtered and the ect light popped up on the dash before she finally turned over and the light went away. I was going out of town that night and i was a little nervous about getting stranded. I did make it back home, but the next morning, she did the same thing. I made it down the street this time and she stalled out while i was stopped at the stop sign before turning 9nto a 4 lane highway. Good thing she stalled out before i had pulled onto the highway. I followed suit and had to restart her once or twice and she sputtered and sputter which just broke my heart. My fuel was low this morning and we limped over to the gas station, she was shifting weird the entire time. I didn't turn her off because i was afraid she may not have turned back on. After getting gas, she started to run more smooth but she still hesitates to shift. |
