Bought an 08 charger rt Daytona with 64k miles about a month ago. The dealership I bought it from (not dodge) put new brake pads on it and in doing so broke something because afterwords I started getting ABS warnings when I had never gotten them before. They eventually indicated the wheel speed sensor, tone ring and cv axle needed to be replaced. They had tried to just clean the sensor first but the codes stayed so they had to order it and then the rest of the parts.
I continued to drive the car to and from work while I waited for the new parts. In the last week twice the car has had an issue that feels like transmission trouble. Immediately upon starting the car runs almost as if it’s in neutral. The RPMs are high even though the car is barely moving and then the transmission seems to slip and struggle to downshift. The first time the car did this it sort of worked itself out and it went away shortly. This morning it was even worse and the check engine light came on. The car could barely drive. I had the car towed to the dealership. They called later and left a voicemail saying that they installed all the new ABS parts and that the transmission code was related and that it was now cleared and everything was fine. Does this seem right? Which code would this even be? I haven’t had a chance to call back and ask yet but it seems weird to me as I’ve never heard of a bad CV axle or wheel speed sensor causing transmission slipping. Or maybe causing the transmission to go into limp mode? Does this sound correct or shady? If this isn’t the issue what could it be? Supposedly they already checked that the transmission fluid was fine and it’s not leaking or anything. I’ve looked through all the transmission codes and I’m just unsure which one would even relate to ABS components. Does this seem fishy to anyone else?
