This absolutely needs to be recalled! I’m going in for my second opinion tomorrow but the last mechanic said I can replace the torque converter or that I might have a misfire in my engine. People ne…

While driving with Cruise control on doing 70MPH (+\- 5mph) the car was in fuel management mode so only 4 of the 8 cylinders were in use. When going on an uphill incline the car cycled to V8.
