drivers side under hood thru the same neck the transmission dip stick is in. be carefull to add only a couple ounces at a time using a transmission funnel and check while hot, running, and in park. each time after adding drive short distance and recheck.be careful to use only Chrysler approved fluid only. not all transmission fluids are the same. warning overfilling is as bad or worst that it being low. also worth noting do not use synthetic fluids or oils will cause oil pressure to drop. the same is true of the oil filter use only approved mopar brand filters or again oil pressure wil drop causing oil light to come on aqnd damage engine.

You refill through the transmission dipstick tube. I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jeremy_d728a59f986299fa

Have belt and alternator checked.

The water pump is located in the front of the engine & is driven by the timing belt. So if you go in there you might as well replace the belt and tensioners if needed.
Drain the cooling system (turn the radiator drain 1 full turn only)

1. Remove the upper radiator hose
2. Remove the top radiator support
3. Remove the two 10mm head bolts from either side of the radiator and gently pull the top of the radiator forward to gain a little more room
4. Remove the four 10mm head bolts holding the cooling fan module to the radiator . Remove the four clip nuts and the cooling fan electrical connector and lift the fan module out of the vehicle
5. Loosen and remove the drive belts and remove the three 13mm head bolts holding the alternator belt tensioner pulley to the timing cover
6. Remove the three piece timing belt cover (the lowest piece can be accessed through the crankshaft pulley by turning the pulley and removing the bolts)
7. turn the crankshaft pulley and line up the timing marks on top dead center
8. Remove the timing belt tensioner two 13mm bolts and remove the tensioner (If the tensioner pulley wheel is made of plastic you will want to purchase a revised steel tensioner pulley) . Put the tensioner in a suitable vise to compress it and install a small allen wrench from the front to hold it in place (close the vise slowly to compress the tensioner)
9. (If need be) Remove the plastic tensioner pulley (the 15mm head attaching bolt can be removed without removing the crankshaft pulley)
10. The timing belt can easily be slipped under/around the crankshaft pulley by slightly bending it to the outside of the timing belt housing on the drivers side and working it with your hand through the crankshaft pulley . No excessive force is needed to do this and be sure to clean the area well prior to installing the new belt
11. With the belt removed , remove and replace the water pump . Coat the gasket with a little RTV silicone and clean the gasket mating surface well
12. Install the timing belt in the opposite direction as removed . Make sure that all the timing marks are lined up .
13. Reinstall the timing belt tensioner
    
    Note: There are several different length bolts used, so pay attention to where they are removed from, they must be installed in the same placement.
    
    I hope this information was helpful.

You have to Remove the Passenger Headlight to get to one side of it and remove the battery terminal and the battery tie down. then there is a section of the wheel well in front of the passenger tire, that has to be removed. I would suggest turning the steering wheel hard to the right and jack up the front of the car to give you self some room to work. once you remove the panel you should have access to the other battery terminal. I also removed the air box above the battery just to give my self some handling room, which just snaps in place. Then you should be able to worm the battery out from the wheel well.

check your fuses, if that doesn't fix it, check the relays.

this is very possible. Newer cars are dependent on the transmission range sensor/ neutral safety switch/ transmission control switch.

Maybe a bolt fell out?? Here is apicture of it...Maybe this will help you??

try flushing the radiator and engine block, make sure the radiator is free from dirt etc.check oil and water levels after flushing, check engine oil see if its clean( ie not a thick dirty black color)if it is dirty you could also clean that as well with flushing oil then refill with new ,when filling radiator add the recomended amount of antifreeze as this also helps to run cooler.
Hope this helps the problem.

It is your ac compressor clutch.The clutch has spacer rings to make the clutch plates closer or farther apart. You need someone with a clutch puller/installer. When you pull the clutch plate off, you will see three or four spacers. Remove one and reinstall the clutch plate. That should do it.

It means that you have a leak somewhere in the line from your fuel filler neck to the charcoal canister..It could also mean you have a bad gas cap. I would have the gas cap vacuum checked first.
