problem with my 2015 dodge durango please help

[rangostarr]

so yeah my 2015 dodge durango is just 1 year old now and i got it directky from the dealer. but since the beginning, it has been having transmission issues. i used to have an old dodge as well but didn't have the same problem so i felt when immediately something was off. there are difficulties accelerating and shifting gears. sometimes it would noteven shift past 5th gear and sometimes, worse, it gets stuck on 1st. i dropped by numerous mechanics and dealers already and they did a check, they said that new transmission is needed and flushing the transfer case fluid. but the problems remain after i solved via their recommendations. there was also an error coe about shifting but then it disappeared? no error code when scanning using the obd but the problems are persisting! it is so difficult to use and i am now running out of options. i can't even sell it with this condtion. i like the durango please don't tell me anything about how i should have returned it long ago i know that and i regret not doing so i should have trusted my instrinct!

well the zf 8 speed in the Durando is known for being problematic with the valve body and it cause to have problems with shifting. also you can check the tcm software update, because you may not see error codes but the software glitches can cause problems with shifting. another thing to consider is the torque converter cuz if it's acting up it can mess with acceleration and gear shifting. if youre not sure about any of this i would suggest to visit the mehanic just to be on the safe side.

about the shifting problem, my friend had one on his durango a few months ago. you should check the TCM, it got a faulty module that causes a variety of issues, including shifting problems. I hope it helps!

Since you've been to a bunch of places already, maybe try to find an independent transmission specialist in your area.

sometimes they have more expertise than general mechanics or even dealers when it comes to pointing tricky tranny issues. look for good reviews specifically mentioning Durango problems.

If you've already swapped the fluid and scanned it clean, it might be the TCM or a harness issue. It might be your sign to find a shop that specializes in Mopars, not just general mechanics.
