I swapped my beloved van for an '05 Liberty 2.5 auto a few months back.  It had the CEL light on and the cruise light was flashing and not operating.  The car drove fine though aside from the A/C and cruise not working.  Then randomly the CEL came on with more dash lights and the transmission stopped working properly.  It won't allow me to shift out of park sometimes and then only drives in 3rd gear or reverse.  After throwing a tantrum and delivering it to a mechanic he suggested it was the transmission ECU.  I finally tracked down an identical one (at great expense) and had it installed.  Some of the lights disappeared and it seemed to work for a few minutes but then developed similar issues such as dash lights, CEL and the driving in 3rd gear thing.

I am hoping someone out there is proficient in these types of issues as this 5k car is fast becoming a money pit.  Any help would be hugely appreciated.  I am at my wit's end with this so I apologise if I have not provided enough information or made a mess posting this.  Cheers! :-D
