Hi. Have it checked by a professional. It sounds like either the clutch packs are burned-out, the torque converter is shot, or the kick-down or downshift is not working properly. Only when a vehicle has reached a specific speed will overdrive kick-in or the transmission will be allowed to operate in overdrive mode. Chrysler Sebring, Dynasty, New Yorker, and many other models were made using a fully electronic transmission that tended to fail very early in normal use. Many failed during the warranty period and Chrysler refused to replace them under warranty, sticking customers with a bill of $3800-8000 for misuse or abuse of their vehicles, prompting one of several lawsuits filed against them since 1991 starting with the defective ABS systems. Most of these electronic transmissions could not be repaired properly by the dealerships, forcing them to return them directly to their manufacturing facilities to rebuild them, only to fail yet again within the first 2 years of normal service.

2006 terrano 3GMR (import) erratic-jumping in/out of O/D on the straight

The erratic jumping in and out of overdrive (O/D) on your 2006 Terrano 3GMR with a 3.2L engine could be caused by a few different issues. Here are some possible causes and fixes:
  1. Faulty speed sensor: The speed sensor provides input to the transmission control module (TCM) to determine when to engage overdrive. A faulty sensor can cause the TCM to think the vehicle is going too slow or too fast for overdrive engagement. A mechanic can test the speed sensor and replace it if necessary.
  2. Low transmission fluid level: Low transmission fluid level can cause the transmission to shift erratically or not engage overdrive. Check the transmission fluid level and add fluid as necessary. If the fluid level is low, it's important to also check for any leaks that may be causing the fluid loss.
  3. Worn or damaged overdrive band: The overdrive band is responsible for engaging and disengaging overdrive. If the band is worn or damaged, it may not engage properly. A mechanic can inspect the overdrive band and replace it if necessary.
  4. Transmission control module (TCM) issues: The TCM controls the shifting and engagement of overdrive. If the TCM is malfunctioning, it may not engage overdrive or cause erratic shifting. A mechanic can test the TCM and replace it if necessary.
It's recommended to have a professional mechanic diagnose and repair the issue, as the transmission is a complex and vital component of the vehicle.

2008 Chrysler Sebring 62TE TRANsmission GOES INTO GEAR ..DOesN'T MOVE, REVs, and TRIES TO GO FORWARD.

Question edited for a bit more clarity.
Please don't post is all CAPS, it is considered SHOUTING and is harder to read.

Ideas here. Low transmission fluid or solenoids is the most likely.

DTC P0715 CHRYSLER - Input Speed Sensor 1 Circuit

The input speed sensor detects the primary pulley revolution speed and sends a signal to the Transmission Control Module (TCM) and Engine Control Module (ECM).

- Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
- Possible shifting problems

Possible causes
- Transmission speed sensor circuit is open or shorted.
- Poor transmission speed sensor circuit connection
- Faulty transmission speed sensor

Hope this clues helps to solve it.

Test the transmission module. It controls everything the transmission does, the timing of shift points, gear selection, overdrive, etc
