Folks
We have a 2004 TJ with a 4.0L and an automatic tranny that has (in my
opinion) an issue that I would like to get resolved and I am wondering
if anyone else has seen or had this problem.

This does not happen all the time but when it does here is what happens.

Cruising along with cruise control set to 55-60MPH. All is going well
and then we come to a hill that is big enough to cause a down shift out
of overdrive. A few seconds after the down shift another downshift
happens. Its quite startling to say the least. Engine is up to 4K revs
(within limits but not what I want) and we pick up some speed. I haven't
timed it but after what seems to be maybe 10 seconds the tranny upshifts
(to drive I suspect) and all is normal again.

We have had the beast in the shop for this and have been able to demo
the issue to a mechanic. He did some research and even called Chysler
about it. They said that the system was designed to work this way!
Now I have never had any other vehicle do this and find it odd that a TJ
would do this. Heck, our 31ft RV pulling the Jeep doesn't do this.
Neither did the Jeep Liberty we had!

So, any ideas?
