POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM, PCM)
I HAVE HAD A COUPLE OF UNSAFE SITUATIONS WITH MY CAR DUE TO INADEQUATE THROTTLE RESPONSE WHEN TRYING TO PASS A CAR OR MERGE INTO A FREEWAY. THE DELAY IN ACCELERATING, DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION TRYING TO FIND THE APPROPRIATE GEAR TO MATCH THE ENGINE ACCELERATION REQUIRED. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE FOLKS AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT UNFORTUNATELY THE CONDITION IS INHERENT IN THE DESIGN (8-SPEED AUTO). MERCEDES BENZ HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR NEW 7-SPEED TRANSMISSION UNTIL THEY FIXED IT. *TR
