Continue to lose the auto transmission and lights/gauges go crazy. Dealer has already replaced Power Train control module (covered) and two other control modules ($1300). Just got car back from 2nd visit and $1300 and doing same thing again. What could be causing this? Obviously the dealer doesn't seem to be getting it!
Has anybody checked to see if there was any (green in color) corrosion on the connector(s). i.e. ECU or TCM (if automatic).

i found a site that will rebuild your old one for $300 ... modulemaster.com......................................ebay has used one $ 200 hope this helps
SOURCE: transmission control module needs replacing
The transmission control module is mounted outside of the transmission. The location is under the dash assembly,driverside. Right now, Kia would be the only supplier for this module. I'm not aware of any aftermarket TCM or rebuilds that are available. You can get a factory TCM from an auto salvage yard and save a lot of money and it will be a factory part.
SOURCE: eds skid control activates for no reason.
The problem may be an intermittent problem with one of the wheel speed sensors, if one wheel speed data recieved by the ECU does not match the other 3 sensors the ECU will interpret that as a wheel slip or spin, this will cause the ECU to initiate the traction control.

You may need a more sophisticated scan tool for this type of analysis. Take it to a deal er or reputable mechanic who has such a tool. Without it, it can get very expensive with trial and error.

Check the fault codes Sensors that are faulty such as the crank position sensor will not allow any spark where you describe.
The
following are the general instructions on the start of diagnosing any
electronically controlled engine or transmission problem.
The
Engine and Automatic Transmission (not applicable to manual
transmissions) in this vehicles drive train are fully electronically
controlled by a computer called the PCM and TCM (Power Train Control
Module, Transmission Control Module). When a problem like this or
other drive-ability related problems occurs the computer stores a
record of the problem (there are of course some exceptions to this,
like the fuel pump, engine coolant temperature sensor and MAF sensor
for instance) in the form of a fault code in its memory, to read
these fault codes you must have the systems memory scanned with a
special tool. Once the fault code(s) are read you then must perform
the appropriate diagnostic testing to find and resolve the problem(s)
DO NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS UNTIL A TRAINED TECHNICAIN HAS DIAGNOSED
THE PROBLEM TO AVOID SPENDING YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON PARTS THAT
MAY NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. Also always check fuel pressure for
correct spec for your make and engine type.
Also engine mechanical problems ca cause many drive-ability related
problem such as rough idle and other symptoms

Based on my 25 years as a Ford dealer tech I tend to think the final result will be a new transmission is needed.
