Consumer Description

IN GOOD WEATHER WITHOUT WARNING THE ENGINE STALLED IN TRAFFIC. RESTARTED, BUT THE ENGINE RAN EXTREMELY ROUGH. ALSO THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE. MANAGED TO GET TO A INDEPENDENT SERVICE SHOP. THERE THE TECHNICIAN FOUND WATER IN THE PCM. DRIED OUT PCM AND CAR RAN FINE. THEN THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON. NOW THEY FOUND WATER IN THE TRANSMISSION CONNECTOR. TWO WEEKS LATER THE CAR WOULD OFTEN NOT START, AND WHEN IT DID THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR. ON OUR THIRD VISIT THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (TPS). ONE WEEK LATER SAME SYMPTOMS, THIS TIME TPS AND MASS AIRFLOW SENSORS HAVE FAILED. THE PROBLEMS ARE ALL RELATED TO THE WET PCM! RECALL THIS CAR, NOW!!!!! *TR
