I wrote to you several years ago and have an account set up before. Got a reply from "Ken". I sent a message to Ken@2carpros.com this week but did not get a reply. Is he still with you? If I get a valid address again, I can forward this other email.

How did you send the message? I didn't receive one. Anyway, I am here, this problem can happen when the door latch becomes worn out or needs adjustment. Usually, it is the front driver's door but to be sure start the car and leave it in park, then step outside the car and shut the door. While the doors are shut grasp the door and without trying to open the door and pull outward to see if you can get a reaction from the locks, this will be the door the latch is bad on. Here is how to replace the latch. Also, there is a chance the right front door lock switch module has gone bad. You might want to disconnect it to see if the action stops. Check out the images (below). Please upload pictures or videos in your response to the problem so we can see what's going on.

This is a question I would like help with.

When first starting to drive down the street and your motor or engine should change from drive into what I call, second gear, it will not always change, and you drive at a reduced speed (10-15 miles per hour) until it does change gears. However, the rpms are running close to 3000 which I know is bad for motor. I took it to an Advance Auto and they checked the sensors. The gave me a listing of the sensors that needed to be replaced. I take it to a transmission repair shop and they replaced the bad sensors. It was still doing the same thing after they replaced the sensors, so they told me that the problems were not in the transmission. They said to take it to my regular garage and gave me a list of sensors that could be bad.

Do you have any thoughts, clues or suggestions on these problems?

For some reason , this part of a message doesn't seem to be getting to you, am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

Have not gotten anywhere on the door locks yet. My other Jeep, the question I had to submit separately, had to get fixed first. I will let you know about the door locks.

Thanks
