Previous Thread Next Thread Print Thread Rate Thread overdrive slippage #738901 07/20/06 03:51 PM Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 4 D ddevitto OP Need a Spot I have a'02 grand cherokee, during normal highway driving the jeep downshifts frequently out of overdrive for a split second and kicks off the cruise control. This occurs even on flat surfaces not just on hills. I have taken it to two dealerships they acknowledge the problem but have no idea what is wrong with it. Any suggestions?

I'd see if the brake switch is adjustable or if something is inbetween it and the pedal. Re: overdrive slippage #738904 07/24/06 05:22 PM Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 4 D ddevitto OP Need a Spot I will have that looked at for the cruise, but the engine still is downshifting out of overdrive for no reason. It is almost like it is sputtering and the plugs have been changed. Re: overdrive slippage [Re: ddevitto] #738905 07/24/06 05:30 PM Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 7,768 Central Texas BigJim Web Wheeler once more dd... what size tires are you running? Also changing the plugs is not a tuneup! What about the wires and coil?
