transmission problem?

I would seriously doubt that your heated seat thingy is causing this
problem. Is the check engine lite on or is it blinking when the problem
occurs? How many miles on this vehicle?

I'm having a problem with my 2001 Chrysler Neon. I purchased a seat warmer
that plugs into the lighter and within a few minutes of use, I noticed a
kickback or sluggishness on the transmission. I'm not even sure I'm
explaining this right. Even today, 3 weeks (without using the seat
warmer) I'm still having problems -slow to sluggish acceleration and
jerking, slowdown at highway speeds. Any ideas? I did check the
transmission fluid and all is well.

 

Your gonna have to have someone with a scan tool check this out. Just
curious, when was the last time this car had a tune up including plugs and
wires?

No engine light blinking or on; 80,000 km.

 

tune-up at 60,500. Regular engine oil changes too. The only problem I've
had with this vehicle is 2 replacement batteries. The first battery
failed in 03 and the 2nd failed in 05. Since then, no problems.

yes, with plug wires.

Find someone with a scan tool to check all sensor input and outputs

It's going into limp mode, and you need it scanned. It has nothing to do
with the seat warmer.
