Open solenoid, open solenoid control circuit, open in the TCM or a programming problem. It is a Chrysler product after all.

This is a transmission problem. Either the solenoid is bad or the wiring going to it is bad. The TCC locks in to give you better gas mileage and lower engine RPMs when you're at cruising speed. The TCC solenoid is activated to lock in the TCC to achieve this. Without it you have no overdrive and your gas mileage will suffer. The repair will pay for itself in increased gas mileage very shortly! A transmission shop is your best bet for this fix. Jim
