| Description of the problem | Check engine light is not resetting due to p0740 code even after changing valve body and related solenoids on transmission. Van does not have any issues while driving. No gas mileage issues. Currently it is ~93k. Dealer is also not sure. He says need to overhaul the torque converter (cost $1100) then he will know if anything else is damaged. In that case he has to rebuild the transmission (cost $2800). 2nd option to put a remanufactured transmission (cost $3100). I have read online there is a ongoing issue with dodge transmissions (2011 to 2014 models) which is not being recalled. Many a times changing transmission did not solve the issue. My personal mechanic also said he got this issue in many of the dodge vans. Would request nhtsa to seriously consider this investigation. |
