2010 CHRYSLER SEBRING with 179000. miles

Check engine light came on and i started having erractic shifting, codes came back as po755, P0700, P0716, P1607. This vehicle's transmission will not shift. I have taken to numerous shops half of them say it the pcm the other say it needs a transmission replacement. I have had the shift solenoid b replaced by dealership only for them to charge me then tell me it need a transmission replacement. The vehicle will still drive forward and backward but will not shift gears at all. Losses acceleration every so often then harsely goes back into gear while in motion. Rpm is very high but will still drive.

2007 DODGE CALIBER with 150000. miles

I was traveling on i-40 when i hit a bump in the road, my engine light came on and stayed on from memphis, tn to jamestown, tn. I was not having any driving problems, the car drove fine. I took it in to advance auto and had them run the obd2 on it. It pulled 4 codes and they are as follows... P2006 intake manifold runner- stuck closed. I already changed that part on 6/6/15 P1607 powertrain control module - internal shutdown. P0722 output shaft speed sensor P0717 turbine input shaft speed sensor now as i said, my car seems to run fine and i have no idea why these sensors are showing up. What can i do to reset the codes, i already disconnected the battery and left it over night but engine light is still on. What can i do?

2007 DODGE CALIBER with 160000. miles

My service engine light came on, took it to advance auto and it popped codes P2006, P1607, P0722, P0717. I changed all codes except P1607 because they were cheaper. The pcm runs 299.00 or more and i cannot afford that. My vehicle barely made it home, it had very little power. After changing the sensors, it runs smooth until you put it in gear, (service light still on and blinking) then it shakes so bad and has limp power. I cannot get back to advance to run codes again and would like to know if i need to re program the pcm? Where can i get this done? The nearest Dodge dealer is in crossville, tn, a 45 minute drive and i am scared to drive this thing. I swear, i wish i never would have bought it, worst car ever. Please help me get this running right again, i am still paying for it. It has been parked since march 2016.
