A lot of Chrysler products have what's called "limp mode" on the transmissions. This will only let the transmission go into 2nd gear, getting you back to the dealership or transmission shop. Normally it has to do with transmission control modules (tcm) or a line pressure sensor, either way, get it looked at. They may be able to hook it up to your computer and do an update and that may fix it or it may require more work. Sorry bout that bro, that sucks!!!!

When was the last time the tranny pan was dropped for the filter change and fluid change? Could be causing some problems...Just a thought, but i would def have it brought in. A crazy $100/hr diagnostics fee is much better than a rebuilt tranny.
