    My 1995 Stratus gas the following problem: while driving somertimes the
    automtic gear shifts down and I have to make an emergency stop, swithch
    off ignition and then it functions again until the next time.
    Dealer cannot find anything. Is there someone who can help?

    Sounds like it is going into limp mode from a bad tranny speed sensor -
    there are two - if speedo is working, it is input sensor that is the
    problem; if speedo not working, it is the output sensor. About a $20
    part, 20 minutes to replace from underneath vehicle.
