No kick down issue?
We bought a 2005 Jeep GC CRD 3.0L auto 2 weeks ago. The day after delivery, the kick down started to malfunction. If you switched off and then on again, the problem cleared. However on 1st Oct on using it no kick down at all.
The car dealer took the Jeep to the Jeep franchise on 3rd Oct and they have had it ever since and cannot find the fault. On 4 test runs, the fault showed up on the second test run while the mechanic was driving and again on the 4th occasion. Problem is no fault code is coming up.
As we tow a caravan (trailer) we really need the kick down plus for overtaking. It seems no one else has come across this problem previously so we are stuck as piggy in the middle!
Jeep dealer still has the Jeep and is no further ahead with it than they were on Wednesday!

Sorry, I can't find any help with your problem. You might get more replies if you post a new thread on this other Forum. They have this section for exported vehicles like yours, and I saw threads similar to yours there. >->http://www.jeepgarage.org/f79/
Good luck, and I hope you get it straightened out soon.
Let us know what happens.
