I have a new 2008 JK with 2400 miles and had to have a valve body and torque converter replaced. The check engine light came on an the diagnostics pointed to the transmission. The transmission shifted fine. I would not have even noticed a problem if the check engine light had not come on. The vehicle has NEVER been stressed, I haven't had a chance to take it off road. The dealer has no idea of what might have caused the problem other than the torque converter coming apart. They said that they found metal pieces in the valve body.
The dealer said this was not a common problem; replacing the torque converter and valve body would solve the problem.
Has anyone out there had a similar problem? Any idea of what may have caused the problem?
Would you be comfortable with the replacement of the valve body and torque converter or would you replace the transmission?
Ticked off because this is a new vehicle.
