Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / March 20062001 dakota transmission problems.
I drive a 2001 dakota, V6, with automatic transmission. Recently started having a problem with slow acceleration. Eventually the check engine light came on. I took it to a mechanic. He said that dodges have a safety feature in the transmissions, so that it does not use the first gear if there is a problem with the transmission. Supposedly to provide you enough time to get the vehicle in and get serviced. does this sound right or am I being taken for a ride? I forgot to add, I believe he said the check engine codes were 0155 and 0157. >I drive a 2001 dakota, V6, with automatic transmission. Recently >started having a problem with slow acceleration.

I have the 4.7L v-8 in mine and can't imagine starting out in 2nd with a v-6... maybe he's confusing it with mot going into overdrive unless it's at temperature and you're doing over 30?? I'd definitely get a 2nd opinion.. Mac https://home.comcast.net/~mac.davis https://home.comcast.net/~mac.davis/wood_stuff.htm It happens either with the engine at temp or cold. I do not have a problem with the higher gears. Once it gets up to spead acceleration greatly improves and it does not have a problem shifting. There is only a problem starting from a stop or a low speed (less then 20). I am taking to a different place for a second opinion tomorrow. > >I drive a 2001 dakota, V6, with automatic transmission.

Eventually the check [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > https://home.comcast.net/~mac.davis > https://home.comcast.net/~mac.davis/wood_stuff.htm yes, he's describing limp in mode. other than that i know little about auto trans it was not my specialty and i am not the most well versed person here. as far as the codes posted. i found this on obd-codes.com P0155 02 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 2 Sensor 1) P0157 02 Sensor Circuit Low Voltage (Bank 2 Sensor 2) i see no reason why these codes would cause a trans shift problem. but it wouldnt hurt to look at why you have these codes.
