A purchased 1993 jeep grand cherokee- the day I purchased this car from a local bristol auto dealer (king philip motors) the car stalled while shifting gears... This car is an automatic, however while driving a constant 70 MPH on the highway, the car struggled to shift between first and second gears. It revved. There was a transmission leak that I discovered and in one day all the transmission fluid had leaked out of it. Upon parking the car it stalled out and while idle the car would rev heavily and shake. Driving home on the highway, (while in drive) I could not accelerate past 750 MPH for fear of breakdown as the car would not go into a higher gear. The needle that shows the RPM was dancing wildly between second and third gear.
