We collected the car last Wednesday from a dealer and drove back 45 miles with no issues and it going like a Boeing when you floored it.
On the Thursday out for a spin and initially no issues with kick down. Went through a 40mph zone and then went to overtake. Depressed pedal. but no kick down and had to quickly pull back in. On stopping and starting again, no problem.
Same thing happened again on Friday and no kick down when you need it, but changing gears up and down, but no kick down. Stopping and starting issue gone like previous day.
Today no kick down from the time I started the vehicle and stopped it. On returning still no kick down. Have now contacted non franchise dealer, but do not hold out much hope as they had never had the problem before.
A Jeep franchise dealer close to us wants £102 to plug it into their diagnostics machine and do a check? This is before they even look at the problem and fix it. Maybe we should have stuck with our 1996 Toyota HiLux Surf 3.0 auto?
