help with an auto tranny....
Everytime I drive my car about 100 miles or more without stopping I get the check engine light....I've had the tranny rebuilt 4 times in the last 6 months and everytime they keep pulling the same codes (IE: Solenoid A stuck on; incorrect gear ratio; Electrical circuit stuck on; and another code for the torque converter)....my question is this. Could this be a problem with the car's computer sending wrong signals?? If so how much would it cost to get it reprogrammed/a new one????

ask your dealer to look at the TCM to verify that the TCM is working properly. Some TCM's were known to have problems and they should have been swapped out with a newer/known good TCM.
Check your service records to see if your dealer ever replaced your TCM.

wow if you've had that tranny rebuilt 4 times already for the same problem doesn't that satisfy lemon law requirements???
Actually I don't know exactly how that works. I bought the car in texas and now live in GA so would it fall under texas lemon law or georgia? Even if it's just the tranny that falls under it, I got it repaired the first time in Pittsburgh,PA, then in Massachusetts, then in GA (Massachuseets twice). So which law should I look under?
