- on cold the car runs great and fine as it should
5 mins of running as the engine begins to get warm
- after 5 mins of running the engine or transmission starts making a loud whining sound as i build the revs up, this also happens when in parked mode and also in neutral. The worst is yet to come, when i was driving home from work after noticing these symptoms the car decided to stay stuck in a single gear and wouldn't shift up or down when in drive. I tried selecting gears manually but it wouldn't let me select any myself, turned the engine off and restated it, i could now select any gear i wanted. Drove the car back home manually selecting the gears myself, even though i was selecting the gears myself it was still losing power when i needed the revs to build up, accompanied with the whining noise ( my gf wasn't present so she's ruled out as the problem ).

As i was roughly at 60mph in 4th gear i decided to knock it up into d for the next gear to drop the revs down. If i quickly select 4th before the speed of the car drops too much then i have no problem selecting gear, if i don't manually select then it will stay in d and won't let me select any lower gear if i'm driving at a slow speed.

Pulled over and gave the car a 10 minute break on the way home to let everything restart. Drove for about 2 minutes and it was all back normal and then suddenly all the symptoms came back again.

Im completely puzzled and i can't find any garages near myself to help with a diagnosis as majority of them say they don't deal with chrysler and others saying they can't see me for a week a least. Any recommendations or help would be greatly appreciated guys. Thank you
