Transmission problem
2001 Chrysler 300 6 cyl Automatic 104000 miles

When decelerating my car jolts then gets stuck in first gear. I turn it off then on and the problem goes away for a few miles. Our mechanic said the check engine light says" stuck in first gear". He flushed and conditioned the trans. For a few months now I have also been having problems with my interior and headlights flashing. Also the radio station presets change? New battery 1 month ago and problem still persists. Could these problems be related? Maybe fuses or electrical system or separate trans problem? Anyone ever hear of this?

Your transmission problems will be seperate from your electrical problems.

The PCM controls the tranny, the BCM controls your interior electronics and head lights.

There is a possibility your wires/harnes and/or the connectors are corroded or loose.

Either way, you'll need a technician very familiar with these components for an accurate diagnosis.

Do your homework before paying a shop to fix this. And your best bet may be a dealer.
