You are not alone with your transmission problems. Ours fails to
upshift from 2nd or 3rd into overdrive. Once we were coming out of
Death Valley toward Lone Pine, CA and had to drive almost 10-miles in
2nd gear. I tried everything I could think of. Only after I pulled
to the side of the road, put it in park, then started out again in
drive did it operate properly.
This has happened twice. I think it may be do to the Computer
Controlled shift logic in the 2000 model. I refer to this feature
as "Brain Dead" shift logic. The dealer only checked the shift
point, diagnostic readout and said No Trouble Found.
