Vehicle goes into "limp mode" daily. Seems mostly to occur once coasting or slowing on a off ramp from highway speeds. Can put car in neutral then turn off & restart which seems to reset "limp mode" until speed decreases to roughly 20 - 30 mph. There seems to be multiple other drivers with this car that have the same issue, yet no response from Chrysler.
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.
