| 2000 dodge 2500 diesel truck - transmission goes into neutral at highway speeds without warning. this has happened about six times in the past two months, including once while pulling a 30 ft. camper. i nearly lost control on a wet road on a hill in pa. it has been to the dealer 3 times. they refused to replace any parts because no codes show up when is put on the diagnostic machine. the problem goes away after leaving the engine off for a few minutes. it has not failed near enough to home and when the dealer was open. i don't want to have a fatal accident before the problem is solved. | |||
