UPON ACCELERATION FROM STOP VEHICLE WILL HESITATE AND LOSE POWER. THIS CONSTITUTES A HAZARD TO VEHICLE AND ANY APPROACHING VEHICLES DURING A TURN. INSPECTION INDICATES THAT TRANSMISSION ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE IS AT FAULT ALONG WITH A POSSIBLE TRANSMISSION SENSOR FAILURE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON. BOTH OF THESE CONDITIONS ( POWER AND CHECK ENGINE ) ARE INTERMITTENT, INDICATING THAT THE MODULE IS FAULTY. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION ECM ON THESE VEHICLES. THE OTHER COMPLAINTS HAVE VARYING SYMPTOMS BUT ALL GO BACK TO THE TRANSMISSION ECM. THESE UNIT SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED OR REPLACED AT MANUFACTURERS COST. THIS PROBLEM EXISTS IN MANY DIFFERENT MODELS AND YEARS OF VEHICLES, BUT ALWAYS GO BACK TO THIS ECM UNIT. AFTER INVESTIGATING THIS PROBLEM I DON'T FEEL THAT THE CONSUMER IS AT FAULT OR CAUSING THIS TO OCCUR. CHRYSLER MODULES ARE AND HAVE BEEN FAULTY IN THE PAST. ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE SAYS THAT OTHER MODULES IN CHRYSLER VEHICLES HAVE HAD PROBLEMS TOO. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE CHRYSLER TRANSMISSION ECM'S AND HAVE THEM RECALLED. *TR
