Trouble Code P1798 Dodge Charger 2008
My '08 dodge charger shows trouble code p1798 right now and I was wondering if anyone has had this propblem and/or if you think it simply needs transmission oil and filter change or that I would need a new transmission soon? My check engine light is NOT on and has never been on. My cars hesitates to pick up speed after hitting 60mph then finally picks up speed which is why I had it put on diagnostics machine. I am up to date on fuel system cleaning and tune up and oil changes. Please help and put it simply guys please- as I know nothing about cars and don't wanna be hustled by the transmission shop.

This info I know firestone told me that- I guess my real question is what does this mean for my transmission? Do you all think that I will need my transmission rebuilt because I fear that's what the transmission shop will say. I don't want to be hasseled if all I need is a transmission oil and filter change. My check engine light is NOT on and has never been on. My car stalls/hesitates when it reaches 60mph then finally picks up speed. The charger is an '08 and has 75,000 miles on it. It was previously owned and IDK if it has ever had the tranny oil changed but I keep an oil change on it- I also more recently had a tune up and before that a fuel injection cleaning from firestone. What do you all think also before I had the fuel injection twice when I tried to start my car up it turned right back off- firestone advised me to get the fuel injection- it never shuts off now but I'm thinking a problem was beginning there.

Yeah, I would do a tranny flush and change and see what happens. You can usually get them done for around $80.
My next step, would be to have a dodge dealer check to see if your computer needs to have the programming upgraded. I know since the '08 came out there has been at least 2 upgrades to resolve issues. Now with this though, some dealers will do it for free and some will charge up to $200 to do.
