Problem overview

Some Dodge Caliber owners report experiencing transmission issues where the vehicle only moves in reverse and not in any forward gears. These problems may stem from damaged components within the automatic transmission, which is a common cause of this issue. Additionally, owners have noted that malfunctioning speed sensors, gear shifters, cables, solenoids, clutches, or gears can contribute to the lack of forward movement. Low transmission fluid levels and cracked fluid tubes are also potential factors affecting the transmission's performance. It is crucial for owners to have their transmission systems thoroughly inspected by a qualified mechanic to accurately diagnose and address these issues for proper functionality.
