Consumer Description

VEHICLE IS NOT SHIFTING CORRECTLY. DOES GOOD IN FIRST 3 GEARS BUT WHEN INCREASING SPEED TO 70 MPH (LEGAL LIMIT ON FL HWY)...VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT INTO HIGH GEARS BUT RPMS REV TO 4 AND STAY THERE UNTIL I BACK OFF GAS PEDAL. ADDITIONALLY, CAR LOSES POWER WHEN ATTEMPTING TO INCREASE SPEED AND ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING UP AN INCLINE. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND THEIR CLAIM OF REPAIR NEEDED: PERFORMED A FLASH UPDATE TO THE PCM MODULE AND THAT THE MODULE IS FAULTY. WILL COST 830.00 FOR PCM/TCM AND NOT ABLE TO GUARANTEE THAT IS EVEN THE PROBLEM. BUT IF NOT THE PCM, THEN WE ARE STUCK WITH REPAIR AND POSSIBLY BE SOMETHING ELSE WRONG WITH VEHICLE. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS? IF SO, PLEASE CONTACT ME SO I KNOW WHICH DIRECTION TO TAKE AS I CANNOT AFFORD THIS REPAIR. THANK YOU.
