2 Automatic Transmission Cooler problem of the 2009 Dodge Caliber

Failure Date: 09/14/2012

Driving the car with a/c on for about an hour and half down the interstate when the illumination light turned on in dash panel. The car started to lose acceleration and would not go over 50mph, by the time I pulled off at next exit the car would go not faster than 20mph, and was accompanied by a loud whinning noise coming from engine. Car sat for 30 minutes cooling off. Turned on car and light was off. Started down highway again 30 minutes later light came back on pulled over again, turned car off, waited 30 minutes. Turned on car and light was off. This happened in September 2009, April 2013, and again July 1st, 2013. $1,600 later of trying to fix different things because Dodge didn't know what was the matter with it and 3 trips to Dodge dealership, "they can't duplicate the problem". I am a woman and can not be stuck on the side of a highway so the car I haven't paid Dodge off for yet will cool down to drive. I found 219 similar complaints on edmonds. Com, and carcomplaints. Com. Everyone knows there is something wrong with the transmission. Please issue a recall. Im sure Dodge would not let their daughters drive this car out of town on the highway. Better yet, lets not wait until someone is injured in a crash because their car decelerates on the interstate.
