Dodge Avenger Transmission Problems

I have a 2008 dodge avenger and it is stuck in first gear. It is an automatic, but for some reason the car is stuck in first gear. I was just driving the car one day and it just shifted down into first gear and would shift anymore. Is there anyone out there that has had this same problem before. I bought a shift solenoid and replace the old one but the vehicle still wouldn't shift. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I suggest that you get the transmission scanned for codes by a reputable transmission shop. Good luck.

i got a recall note and took it in and they have to put some clip in the shifter, with out this clip they may get stuck in gear.

replace the speed control sensors they both casted me 20 dollars on ebay that fixed my shifting problems
speed control sensors tell the computer when to shift and how fast the car is going
