Consumer Description

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. I HAVE HAD AT THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES. THE THIRD TIME THE DEALER HAD MY VEHICLE FOR 6 WEEKS. WHEN I WENT AND PICKED IT UP, I GOT APPROXIMATELY 1 MILE DOWN THE ROAD AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND IT IS CURRENTLY STILL BEING WORKED ON TO TRY AND FIGURE THE PROBLEM OUT. THE CHECK ENGINE CODE KEEPS SHOWING THE TORQUE CONVERTER. THE DEALER CHANGED THE VALVE BODY THE THIRD TIME THAT IT WAS THERE.
