problem #2

Apr 122007

TL 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 81,400 miles
Transmission began to slip during normal driving, I then researched this problem on the internet and learned that this was not an isolated incident and I became concerned for my family's safety due to descriptions of other peoples history with this car. I took car to dealer and they determined that a replacement was warranted. PCM unit was also replaced. They replaced transmission with a re-manufactured unit, old part is not available.

The PCM control module malfunctioned, causing transmission to down shift at random times. Shifts while pressing the accelerator, and without warning the steering wheel locked up.
