Transmission will get stuck into a gear and not shift. Vehicle was taken to dealership for repair. After 1000 miles, transmission again malfunctions and towed to dealership for repair. Second malfunction very similar to first, but I was not able to even drive the car after the second malfunction. Car seems to be stuck in a higher gear that will not allow me to get started from a full stop. This is a new Avenger with 3. 6l pentastar engine.
