Moved this to its own thread, since the other was very old and not exactly the same issue you have here.

Get it checked out by a pro-mechanic that you trust. Could be something simple, you never know. These transmissions aren't the same as the old 42RH/RE and 46RH/RE used in the older Dakotas and Rams, they aren't nearly as temperamental or unpredictable, and are generally more reliable.

I'm a firm believer in keeping fluids changed in Chrysler vehicles, abused or not. If you're at 110k miles and it's never had a fluid/filter change, you're long overdue. I did my first one in my truck at 60k.
