| Description of the problem | Transmission over heated and purged fluid on to hot exhaust manifold/cat converter. Jeep did not catch on fire but was close enough to cause alarm it was severely smoking enough to alert others drivers who waved me over. Its been having shift problems since purchased new in 07/07, including sever shuddering between 1-2 shifts and not downshifting unless holding the throttle down for 2-4 seconds making it really hard to keep up in regular traffic. Current mileage is 6,200. Local dealer keeps flashing the computer with software upgrades but nothing improves conditions. Current word from dealer is that "condition could not be duplicated / no 'codes' stored". |
