| Description of the problem | While moving the car suddenly acts as if in neutral even though indicator shows in drive. The engine runs but the car no longer has power. Car must be stopped and placed in park before the transmission will again engage. "check transmission" errors are displayed. This has always happened on city streets at low speeds. I worry abt driving on the highway. This has happened three times in the 25 k miles i have put on the car. Taking it back to the dealer results in them telling me nothing is wrong with the car - the transmission just lost communication with the and transmission. They reset the computer errors and the car runs normally. My brother has similar problems with his jeep and was told he needed transmission fluid changes. I do not know exact dates this has happened but can obtain from local dodge dealer. This usually occurs when slowing for a turn or stopping at stop lights or stop signs. |
