Sounds like limp-home mode to me. Take it to a dodge dealer and get it warrentied.

Have you checked for Codes Rick? Personally I dont think its Limp mode, thats usually second gear isnt it? When was the last time you changed the Tranny Fluid??? Have you been checking fluid level?

I had a tranny line break on me once and the thing just wouldn't even engauge into first. It sounds like you have a different issue. If I were you, I would take it to a dodge dealer(or trusted mechanic) immediately.

I would definately check your codes before you bring your car to the dealer. If your check engine light came on then logic says it would be a sensor of some sort. No?? Yes??

Rick, just for a long shot disconnect the battery and leave it disconnected for about 5 minutes.. This will reset the Tranny computer as well as your clock
