My vehicle for the past 2 year have a shifting problem. I can't get it into gear and go over 28 mph. I had it checked out I was told nothing was wrong. The second time I was involved into a accident because tea went from 50 mph to 30 mph back to 50 mph to a barricade on the highway. My insurance cover the repairs and a week later still the same problem. I took it to the transmission shop and mechanic said it?S not a transmission problem he believe it a sensor problem. I took it to Chrysler and they told me I just needed new brakes. I ship it from Hawaii to New York and the mechanic replace the sensor it was fine for a week. I drove it to va for mandatory training and it completely die on me back to driving under 28 mph. My car is stationary in a residential neighborhood in va because it will not shift into gear and I don't know what's wrong...
