MY DODGE MAGNUM KEEPS GOING INTO LIMP MODE. LIMITS TO 35 MPH AND WILL SLOW YOU TO 35 QUICKLY. I TOOK IT IN TO A DODGE DEALER AND THEY PREFORMED A TCM UPDATE AND ALLOWED ME TO TAKE THE CAR I MADE IT 5 MILES BEFORE GOING INTO LIMP MODE. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THEY CLEARED THE CODE AND I COULD DRIVE IT FOR A WHILE BEFORE IT WOULD GO IN LIMP MODE. ( SO I COULD DRIVE OFF AND GET IN TRAFFIC ON OPEN ROAD GO IN LIMP MODE AND POSSIBLY CRASH OR BE CRASHED INTO GOING 35 MPH ON A 65MPH INTERSTATE) NOT SAFE IN MY BOOKS. THIS IS MY 4TH DODGE AND 3RD TIME I HAVE HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM. 05 MAGNUM, 07 MAGNUM. 05 RAM 1500. THERE IS FORMS WHERE THIS HAPPENS OFTEN. I THINK DODGE SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM AND NOT CHARGE ME EVERYTIME THEY HAVE TO LOOK AT IT. 70$ JUST TO TELL ME IT'S IN LIMP MODE WHEN I ALREADY KNEW THAT AND KNEW WHAT CODE WAS TRIPPED FOR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT
