If is shifting ok for me to start but I put it in autostick and the gear indicator what jump back and forth between 1 and whatever gear I am actually in. Of course 10 miles later the engine light comes on and 5 miles after that I am back in limp mode. Autostick does not respond but indicates I am in 3rd. So, I literaly limp it back to my regular dealer where it now sits waiting to be diagnosed.

So I guess my question is...should I MAKE them replace the sensors even if they say nothing is wrong? Any suggestions?

If there were codes in the computer that "he had never seen before" he should have followed up on it to figure out the problem. Resetting the computer and sending you on your way will only delay getting the problem addressed. No telling what other issues will creep up in the meantime that are a result of not fixing this correctly the first time.

This really irks me because dealers, in the past, have done the same thing to me and created a much larger and more expensive fix than it would have been, if they had taken the time a effort to correctly fix it the first time.

Now the tech may be correct but If I were you I'd contact Kozican (Don Ward) and get the dealer's number which he has found to have a certified Prowler Tech there... Just some thoughts for a Houston neighbor...

When are we going to get the Tech. who knows what he/she is doing at the dealers. Is it any wonder North American car sales are down.

I have a local dealer who has just received their 5 Star rating and I was under the assumption that all 5 Star dealers had a Prowler/Viper Tech. on staff.

I seem to remember some of you talking about this sometime ago, any thoughts or knowledge on this?

I am trying to work with the Dealer on this because we have 5-10 Prowler owners in the area and would like to find someone to work on our warranty issues.

The other day I took the Kat in so they could verify my OS Sensor problem that was found by my own Tech. Darren and the next thing you know 2 of them were about to take "HER" out for a test drive. RIGHT!!

Told them "out of the car" and do the check by revving the car to 2,000 rpm and checking the pre catalytic sensor on the computer.

Said it was not to bad and would not fix the problem. I noticed it more after I replaced my spark plugs. At about 2,800rpm or 130km/hr the Kat was making slight vibrations in the gas peddle and lacked a punch when I hit the gas.
