2002 Intrepid w/ Speed Sensor Problems? - 6/28/2007 4:38:49 PM    DodgerDave   Posts: 1 Joined: 6/28/2007 Status: offline Hi...I'm new here, but this seems like a very informative board. I was having some problems with my Intrepid and thought I might get some feedback. Once my Intrepid has warmed up - usually about 5-10 minutes of driving - the car will downshift into 2nd gear when I slow down to a traffic light or stop sign. It will not shift out of 2nd gear. My engine light has been on for a few days, so I was assuming it might be transmission related via the speed sensor? Not sure on that. If I turn the ingnition off on the Intrepid and restart the car, it resets itself and I can again drive at freeway/highway speeds, but once I slow down again, it downshifts - quite roughly - into 2nd. Am I on the right track re: the speed sensor? Or is it likely something much more serious? Thanks in advance for any help whatsoever. I try to do my best with my cars, but I'm just not that vehicle savvy. Thanks again. DodgerDave Post #: 1
