Transmission Failure Problems of Dodge Journey

My Dodge Journey had transmission failure along with the gas tank not being able to fill up to the f. My car jerked to move forward and the gas pedal would not cause the car to move forward. I brought the car to a Dodge dealership and they took about a week and a half to fix it. Here I am one week later having the same issue and needing to bring it back to refix the issue. There is a lot of complaints on the internet about this same issue and having to have the same transmission issues return for fixing two to three times before the car is fixed right. This is a beautiful car but a transmission issue that needs several fixes before the car even reaches 1200000 miles to change transmission fluid is not a good look. The transmission need to be recalled and new transmissions should be given to people who own this brand of vehicle. I only have one car and need this vehicle to put food on my table for my family during a never ending pandemic at that. The transmission on these vehicles are not reliable even after fixing.

My wife was driving our 2016 Dodge Journey our pf the driveway. She drove 2 blocks when the car suddenly lost acceleration and became jerky when shifting. Engine light went on without warning so she immediately turned the car off. She restarted and managed to get it in reverse to try to pull over to the curb but the car jerked forward while in reverse. We towed it to our Dodge dealership and had it diagnosed. Was told that our hydraulic pump failed causing irreparable damage to our transmission. We were told we needed to replace our entire transmission. We have only had the car for 2 years and there is only 65000 miles on it. Discovered that there was a recall for faulty hydraulic pumps causing transmission failure (s44) but was told that it doesn't apply to our vehicle. Sounds very suspect. Transmissions are not supposed to fail after just 3 years. Seems to be a recurrent issue with this make, model and year. We still owe a lot of money on the car so we cannot scrap or trade it. Not getting much help from customer service despite all of the similarities with the prior recall. Maybe forced to pay thousands for this repair. Warranty just expired at 60000 miles which would have covered the power train. This issue has been a perfect storm. I wish my family could get some help.

The transmission is failing to shift. It shifts extremely hard and the reverse takes a few minutes to kick in or it doesn't work at all. Sometimes the vehicle will not shift at all. There is a strange burning smell after going up a hill. My electronic throttle control sensor is already on and there is only 13000 miles on the vehicle. I purchased it in January and it's only may. I have the shifting issues while driving. When it does shift it's a sharp jerk. It's a constant problem. I no longer want the vehicle.

Transmission shifts with a clunk between second and third gear. Dealer installed a program update that solved the problem temporarily. Dodge forum suggests this problem is not uncommon. I am concerned about safety issues as well as transmission failure after the warranty period.
