OK, I am answering this one myself. "Locking" in low gear is a Dodge safety feature that tells you something is wrong with the transmission. The free diagnostic test by Auto Zone was correct in it being the shift solenoid (in or part of the transmission) code 700. I had it replaced at a Dodge Dealer for a total of $538.40. Of course I had to pay for their diagnostic test which came up with the same code as auto Zone which told me AZ is a reiable source for help. She runs like a charm now!

Will an overfilled automatic transmission on a 2004 dodge stratus do any harm?

Yes, it could. If the fluid contacts the spinning parts of the transmission, it could aerate. Air in the fluid will cause slipping and eventual failure.

First thing to check is fluid level. Check at idle in park. Next you will need to have it checked for transmission codes(requires a scan tool). Third the dealer might be able to update the software in the transmission computer.
