“Was traveling in third gear when the transmission downshifted to second gear independently locks in 2nd gear (limp mode) when slowing or stopping vehicle.once you turn the car off and back on again, you can drive with normal gears. However, once you hit 50-60 MPH, the transmission automatically goes into limp mode and stays locked in second gear. Check engine light came on and it now reads the codes p1776.”

NHTSA complaint #10087514, filed 2004-09, 25,200 miles“Diagnostics show code p0344 cam shaft position sensor. It was repaired under recall j18 in aug 09. Called bob moore dealership (completed recall work) & Chrysler recall line. They both say won't repair under original recall. This is the same exact part/problem. Is there any way to get them to honor this? My cruise control shuts itself off, lights dim, and fails to start on occasion.”
