problem #2

Apr 082005

Intrepid 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 50,000 miles
Under normal driving conditions, automatic in "drive" position shifts into 3rd gear causing high [300-400K] RPM and high fuel consumption. Condition can be corrected by stopping vehicle, turning switch off, waiting until signal lights have disappeared, then turning switch on again. This is also a safety hazard due to potential for rear-end collision while vehicle is in off.
