I HAVE HAD BACK TO THE DEALER ON 11 FEB,, 29 FEB AND 14 MAR BUT EACH TIME IT HAS BEEN RETURNED TO ME SAYING IT IS OKAY, WE COULD FIND NO PROBLEMS WITH IT AT LEAST ACCORDING TO THE COMPUTER. THEY INITIALLY ADJUSTED THE MLP SENSOR, THEN THE NEXT TIME REPLACED THE MLP SENSOR AND THE TORQUE CONVERTER, THEN WHEN IT OCCURRED AGAIN . THEY HAVE NEVER OPENED UP THE TRANSMISSION THAT I AM AWARE OF BUT CONTEND THAT THE TRANS, DIAG TELLS THEM EVERYTHING THEY NEED TO KNOW. NEVERTHELESS, THE TRANSMISSION STILL DROPS OUT AND THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN CORRECTED.
