1993 Jeep Cherokee Transmission Problems

WHEN JEEP GETS TO RUNNING TEMPERATURE (5-10 MINUTES) IT WILL BACK AND STALL WHEN YOU GO TO TAKE OFF FROM A STOP. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN MERGING WITH TRAFFIC OR AT BUSY INTERSECTION. HAD BEEN IN SHOP FOR 10 WEEKS, REPLACED COMPUTER, TRIED MANY SENSOR REPLACEMENTS TO NO AVAIL, MECHANIC GAVE UP, NOW AT DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG (NO COMPUTER CODE STORED) WHEN IT IS JUST RUNNING.THEY HAVE NOT DRIVEN IT ON THE ROAD FOR FEAR OF BREAKING DOWN IN TRAFFIC. CAN NOT GET IT STARTED AGAIN UNTIL IT "COOLS DOWN" OIL PRESSURE GAUGE READING VERY HIGH (ANY CORRELATION?) WAS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM AT FIRST,( STARTED LAST DEC., BOUGHT IT IN NOV) NOW CHRONIC, WITH EVERY DRIVE. THE LAST TIME I DROVE IT, IT WAS ALSO STARTING OFF IN THIRD GEAR (AUTOMATIC) ALTHOUGH THE COMPUTER REPLACEMENT (REMANUFACTURED) SEEMS TO HAVE FIXED THAT, ALTHOUGH I ALSO HAD THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND FILTER CHANGED. (I HAD NOT EXPERIENCED ANY TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS UP TO THEN) HOOD LATCH SEEMS TO HAVE A PROBLEM AND BATTERY RECENTLY DIED, NEEDING REPLACEMENT. *LA

I PURCHASED VEHICLE SECOND HAND IN 1998.... I WAS INFORMED OF A FACTORY RECALL ON MY MAKE/MODEL OF VEHICLE REGARDING THE INHIBITOR SWITCH.... MY LOCAL DEALER MAKE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS AT NO COST TO ME.... SWITCH CONTINUED TO GIVE ME INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS BUT DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE... RECENTLY I LEFT CAR WITH DEALER WHO CONFIRMS DEFECTIVE INHIBITOR SWITCH BUT CLAIMS NO SUCH RECALL AND NO SUCH WORK PERFORMED... CLAIMS THEY ONLY CHANGED "LOCKDOWN CABLE" UNDER FACTORY/GOVERNMENT RECALL.... YOUR WEBPAGE DOESN'T CONFIRM EITHER RECALL... WOULD YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN IF THERE IS A RECALL ON EITHER PART AND SUBMIT MY COMPLAINT THAT A INHIBITOR SWITCH (INTERNAL SWITCH THAT ALLOWS TO ENGAGE STARTER IN NEUTRAL/PARK) SHOULD NOT FAIL ON A VEHICLE WITHIN 5 YEARS OF MANUFACTURE DATE. *AK
