Brand new 2014 Chrysler 300 s purchased 12/5/2014 . 595 miles on odo today, 1/17/2015. Driving home today I noticed a split second surge, like the brakes grabbed, like the car lurched. Shortly after I noticed the check engine light was illuminated. Pulled over and shut/started the engine. Check engine still there. Started out from the curb, and the engine revved to approx. 3000 but the car barely moved, the transmission lagged relative to engine speed. [I. E. Not engaging or slipping]. Gradually it picked up speed. Stopped again same thing. Tried to shift to sport mode with out success. . . . No sport mode, so paddle shifters also failed . I could shift to p,r,n,d. Not sport mode. A short while after I was home, I started the car, check engine still lit. While still parked now I could shift to sport mode. Drove a short distance in drive, but eco not showing in infomat display. Sport mode/paddle shifters now were working but would not shift to 8th gear. Prior to this event, and hours before it took place. . . . . I paired my cell phone and it automatically loaded all my contacts. I used both contacts and voice recognition to make calls no problems. So it was working great earlier in the day. When the transmission problem took place [explained above] I tried to make a call, and the screen showed "no phone connected". . Everything including contacts evaporated like I never paired the cell. I would think both problems are connected.
