Default Stuck in 1st gear....

The wife's 2013 Grand Caravan is stuck in 1st gear. Less than 10k miles on it. It happened all of a sudden, with no prior warnings. Probably something electronic.... Grrrr.

It spent the whole day at the dealership. They have no idea. They're checking the wiring.

Well, it's Friday and the van is still at the dealership. They gave us a loaner to ease the pain. The good news, if you can call it that, is there's another 2013 caravan at the dealership with a similar problem! Hmmmm....... They've got it hooked up to diags.

Soooooo, I spoke with the head of the service dept at the dealership late yesterday and turns out they found a problem! Some sort of solenoid is not doing what it should. We had noticed that the "Econo" button, that limits rpm revs, had been acting up and allowing for fast acceleration. But this was 2 weeks prior to the tranny failing.
