I have a 2002 xtype I bought last June with 44,000 miles. I just had a rebuilt transmission and new valve installed last week. It has been running well until I encountered the following sequence of events on the same major intersection today.

So I have a newly rebuilt transmission (cost me $4000) from AAAMCO. Having a 2002 car, my warranty has long expired.

I stop at a traffic light in downtown Los Angeles where I have a steep downward slope (those who are familiar with the intersection of 5th and Grand southbound). The power train light comes on and the engine shakes, and I presume the car goes on limp mode. I find a parking spot and turn off the car. When I turn it back on, no lights appear (no power train light, no check engine light) and the car operates normally again. So I immediately drive it to the AAAMCO shop that rebuilt my transmission. They do a computer diagnostic and nothing shows up. I drove back to work and when I stopped at the same intersection, instead of the power train light appearing before I descend, it appears a few seconds after I finish the descent. So I go limp mode again with the power train light on. I turn it off and after 1 minute, turn it on and no warning lights appear and the car operates normally again.

I have a practically new transmission. My AAAMCO mechanic has checked the bulletins and there is no need for reprogramming and I also checked with a Jaguar dealer and gave them my VIN number, and my car supposedly is not on any transmission recall.

I would apprecite any advice. thanks.

I'm so hateful...lol.

Aside from that, get to the intersection, let the lights, etc., come on, then drive directly to AAMCO. DON"T shut the car off.
