AFTER A FEW HOURS OF HIGHWAY DRIVING, I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND WENT INTO THE HOUSE FOR ABOUT AN HOUR. I CAME OUT LATER AND DROVE TO THE STORE, AND AS I WAS PULLING AWAY FROM A TRAFFIC SIGNAL, THE SHIFTING OF GEARS (AUTO-TRANS) WAS VERY FORCEFUL, BUCKING THE VAN, LIKE IT WAS HAVING TROUBLE SHIFTING. THE FIRST DEALERSHIP (PAUL BROTHERS) TRIED TO EXPLAIN THAT THE FLUID LEVEL WAS LOW BY 1 QUART, SO THEY FILLED IT. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED OFF AND ON UNTIL I FINALLY TOOK IT INTO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP (KOONS - MANASSAS), AND THEY FOUND THAT THE PROBLEM WAS A BAD PRESSURE CONTROL SELENOID, WHICH THEY REPLACED. MY CONCERN IS THAT NOT ONLY MAY I HAVE LESSENED THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE MISDIAGNOSIS, I ALSO AM CONCERNED ABOUT A POSSIBLE PROBLEM ON OTHER SILHOUETTES IN THE 15K-20K RANGE OF THIS HAPPENING TO THEM AS WELL. POSSIBLE RECALL ISSUE FOR SAFETY REASONS.*AK
