According to the manual, the dipstick is not included. You have to take it to the dealer if you notice any leaks or a warning light comes on. Go figure !!

I believe these have one of the new "sealed transmissions" You don't check the transmission fluid.
They are a "lifetme transmission" when it's life is up and it breaks you pull it for a new one (or dump the car) Dodge is using allot of these

below is info from the owners manual. I do not have a repair manual, but you may be able to buy one that would say how to check the transmission fluid on the 3.5L. It sounds like they don't expect you will need to check it. Fluid Level Check - Vehicles with 3.5L Engine The automatic transaxle has no dipstick and is dealer serviced only. Fluid Level Check - Vehicles with 2.4L and 2.7L Engines Use the following procedure to check the automatic transaxle fluid level properly: 1. Park the vehicle on level ground. 2. Run the engine at curb idle speed for a minimum of 60 seconds. 3. Apply the parking brake fully. 4. Place the shift lever momentarily in each gear position ending with the lever in PARK. 5. Wipe the area around the dipstick clean to eliminate 6. Remove the dipstick and determine if the fluid is hot or cold. Hot fluid is approximately 180°F (82°C), which is the normal operating temperature after the vehicle is driven at least 15 mi (24 km). Hot fluid cannot be held comfortably between the fingertips. Cold fluid is at a temperature below 80°F (27°C). 7. Wipe the dipstick clean and reinsert until seated. Then, remove dipstick and note the reading. a. If the fluid is hot, the reading should be in the crosshatched area marked "HOT" (between the upper two holes in the dipstick). b. If the fluid is cold, the fluid level should be between the lower two holes in the area marked "COLD." If the fluid level is low, add sufficient fluid through the filler (dipstick) tube to bring it to the proper level. Do not

overfill.
If your vehicle has front-wheel drive, the transmission fluid dipstick is sticking out of the transaxle, as shown here.
To check your automatic transmission fluid, follow these steps:Pull out the dipstick.
With the gearshift in Neutral or Park and the parking brake on, let your engine run. Be sure the engine is warm when you pull out the dipstick. (Don't turn off the engine.)
Check the fluid.
Dip the tip of your index finger into the fluid on the dipstick and rub the fluid between your finger and the tip of your thumb. The transmission fluid on the dipstick should be pinkish and almost clear. If it looks or smells burnt or has particles in it, have a mechanic drain and change the fluid.
Wipe the dipstick with a clean, lint-free rag; then reinsert it and pull it out again.
If the transmission fluid is clear but doesn't reach the "Full" line on the dipstick, use a funnel to pour just enough transmission fluid down the dipstick tube to reach the line. Don't overfill!
