The check engine light stays on and code po740 Torque converter clutch circuit open, and the stated fix is replace converter solenoid and trans fluid and filter. Also recommends do not drive. I am qualified to make repairs and did so, cleared codes drove Approx.100 miles light returned on solid. I did research and found a recall id 16V461000 that may not have traveled through the recall system yet. I spoke to a dodge service advisor and was told that is was common and they have replaced several transmission so far this year. Part are scarce to get and Approx. $7k repair. and no recall was issued for the problem. It is my understanding that the car can loose power and no longer move as the problem progresses in traffic and on highway, poss causing an accident. All related parts that fluid travels musts be replaced including trans. oil cooler due to contamination.

When putting the vehicle into park it either shifts rite into park, shows -- on the dash, says R and it's in P for example my husband drove my car put it in the park or so he thought turned the car off and came in the house we all left a little while later I get in my car and it won't start and I look at my dash and it says vehicle not in park and it was clearly in park, went to a friend's house put it in park put my foot off the brake and it started rolling backwards look up at my dash and it's in reverse even though it is in park had to put it in neutral put my emergency brake on and turn it off use the little lever inside the center console to manually shift it into gear
The acceleration stopped, the lightening light, traction light and skid light all came on and would not accelerate. Car was on but no gas pedal in the middle of the highway. Oil was changed a week before and no leaks on ground but oil is low. It is very dangerous as it has done this several times over the last month and has caused me to almost be in several wrecks because speed drops and cars almost rear end me. Have replaced the Crankshaft Position Sensor twice no in a month.

Electronic throttle control is malfunctioning need to get replaced I was driving on a highway and lost acceleration this is very dangerous as I have young kids who are in the car with me. I've seen online where other people who own The same vehicle is having the same problem this should be recalled nationwide
The differential and the viscous coupler is what I'm having to replace now cause it is bad. The car is not that old and I'm going to have to spend around $3,500 to fix both of these parts. We could have been killed if we were driving the car, it would have locked up and caused an accident. Yes, the dealer said that it could lock up on us and damage other parts causing an accident. No, it hasn't been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others. No, there were not signs and warnings lamps prior to the failure. We took it to the dealer on November 18th and have yet to get it back. We called Chrysler and opened a case. They told us that the only thing they could do is to expedite the part and the dealer has the other one. Chrysler is expediting the differential, the dealer was to get the part on December 9th. The part still isn't here. I have called Chrysler several times and nothing is being done. Today I called and Chrysler is blaming the dealer for telling them they got the part when they didn't get it. Then, Chrysler was trying to blame the shipping carrier with is UPS. I think these parts the differential and the viscous coupler should be recall before someone get killed. Chrysler has known about these parts since 2013 and they haven't done anything about it.
Driving back home on Dec-08-2021; about 2 miles from home I started hearing gear whine noise, only got louder. Pulled over about half mile from home, walked around the car to see if something was stuck underbody. After that, the vehicle would not engage gear when I put it in D or R. I had to press gas hard for the gear to engage, but the car unpredictably engage and would lurch forward and lose gear again. Kept doing that for until I got home. Checked underneath, oil was leaking from the trans pan. The gear would only engage when the gas is pressed hard, but the car would jump as soon as the gear engages.
The problem component is the transmission fluid pump. The issue first started while driving. the transmission started making a grinding noise. the fault code for this was P0868. Our vehicle was towed to a dodge dealership for inspection and repairs. Estimated cost is $1576.84. I have researched this issue and feel this should be considered a recall. Owners should be covered for these repairs.
when I purchased the car many problems did occur: Car does has A) Gas problem ( like air inside...car stop working etc...) B) Car has new battery ( in my 1st year) but it does not start C) Car computer was wipe it out( Virus ??) D) And the major: Car has HYDROLIC PROBLEM ( Transmission, Power train and Gas issue)

I had two separate incidences. The first one occurred at approximately 96,000 miles. I went to start my car and it wouldn-€™t start. To my knowledge nothing was left on inside to kill the battery. I got a jump start and when I started driving my car would get stuck in 2nd gear. It would sound like it was going fast but was barely driving. I took it to the dealership where they tested it and said it ran fine, no error codes or lights appeared. After that it drove fine until approximately 105,000. I was driving on the highway at about 75 miles per hour. All of a sudden the car stopped accelerating and I had to quickly pull off the side of the highway. I turned the car off and back on and it started driving just fine. I am scared to death of driving it now.
The car slips or jerks when it shifts into gear, usually when going from first to second. It is an automatic and this happens while it is in motion. There have been multiple mechanics look at and the transmission was rebuilt twice but the problem still persists.
Complete power loss while driving the whole transmission had to be replaced. Since that event we had have constant problems with misfires and fuel injectors. Airbag light keeps coming on. Electrical problems.
