While driving the transmission shifts down to low without warning. I had the transmission looked at, had the computer board reprogrammed by Dodge dealer, had my mechanic check it out and nothing seems to correct the problem. I usually pull over and shift the car into neutral and then back into drive and it will go for a bit and then check engine light comes on. Get it home and it sits in the driveway for a day or two and then I go again and the engine light clears itself. It's a 99 Dodge Caravan 3 liter V6. Any ideas?

Ok,not really enough info to come to a proper solution. It sounds like you have a serious transmission problem. Could be the torque converter clutch or circuit. I really need to know what code is being set when the light comes on to narrow it down abit. If it's a reputible shop, they should tell you what code was found. Chrysler products have a long history of trasmission problems,ranging from internal malfunctions to pcm issues. Could be a simple re-flashing of the tramission pcm. Whatever the case,a flush will not fix it & the battery is pure coincidence. There's also the possibility it's a problem with the electronics for the engine. Being you need advanced diagnostic tools, I'd take it to the dealer or a very good shop. You can't fix this at home.

You need to get it scanned to see what those codes are. Autozone, Pep Boys and other big autoparts stores will usually scan for free. If codes don't tell you what is obviously wrong, get back to us with them & we'll help you out.

check your idle control valve/sensor and torque converter/solenoid these four things are common problems
