My Durango is always serviced when needed. Oil is changed every 3000 miles or 3 months which ever comes first. Last time it was taken to the dealership for service everything checked out ok. All of a sudden after 2,000 the transmission goes out. I called daimler Chrysler to ask if it had a warranty they responded that the warranty was for 36,000 miles or 3 years. I have taken it to 2 mechanics and they have both said that I need a new transmission. When my Durango was connected to the computer to see what the problem was it only indicated that it needed the speed sensors replaced, I did that and it still has the same problem. It shifts into 1st and 2nd gear but not into 3rd gear.
