This seems to ba a fairly common problem for this car. I have this car and I am learning more about the problem. First, if the "Air Bag" light is on, DO NOT drive the car. Any time this light is on, you stand the chance of finding out what happens when you shift the car into low gear at highway speeds. Not fun. The car randomly shifts down into low gear which is abit unnerving. Second, although I have not been able to track down a firm answer to this problem. The most common procedure that I have found is to take the car to an "Auto Zone" where they will hook your car up to a "Diagnostic Computer" which then tells you what may be going on.
Some posts that I have read suggest replacing the main computer ($300+). While others suggest sensors and or "reprogramming" the computer. While still others suggest that simply disconnecting the battery serves some good. The lack of good "I got it" posts on the internet is either a bad sign(no fix) or the contrary(no need to go back to the computer because I fixed it. I am going to try some of these steps myself later so I do not have all the answers yet either... Hope this helps
Check to see if it is getting spark and fuel
What would make my transmission slip on a Dodge truck when turning left
Probably because power steering pump is low on oil or worn out.
Find out where. Usually transmission fluid leaks from either the front or rear seal. The front seal (between the engine and transmission) requires that the engine or transmission be removed from the vehicle for replacement. The REAR seal (assuming Rear wheel drive) can be replaced by removing the driveshaft from the transmission tail. Front wheel drive vehicles typically have a seal on each of the "half shafts", and each manufacturer handles that differently. Sometimes you need to take the front end apart, sometimes it's just a few bolts. Sometimes it's an entire transmission rebuild.
You could be low on transmission fluid. The same thing happened to me.
If the problem with the transmission is overdrive related it may.
my 95 intrepid is doing the same thing check the "engine controller" fuse under the hood i do this but it blows out every so often still trying to figure that out
Yes, If you're automatic transmission is not in PARK it will not start... sometimes if it is not completely pushed forward in PARK, it won't start... push it forward.
The engine has a crankshaft that is connected to all the pistons in the engine. When the engine is running the pistons are moving up and down and are turning this crankshaft. The crankshaft in turn is spinning a shaft connected to the transmission. The transmission is turning a driveshaft that is connected to the differential which in turn is turning an axle connected to the wheels.
could be your steering is messed up for the turning. but for the transmission you could have blown piston
Manual transmission that is in gear-YES
Only if the transmission final shaft is turning.
