The transmission is completely out but the vehicle is fairly new. I saw that there is a recall on the transmission on some vehicles but I-??m not sure if mine is on that list.

While driving & the car is in motion, I would be attempting to upshift using the paddles on the steering wheel and the transmission would instead downshift. It's been occurring since I purchased the vehicle in 2018. It unpredictability occurs at various speeds, gears, and time of day. I notified the service tech at redlands Dodge, where purchased, when I brought the car in for its 1st oil change @ just prior to 6K miles in 2018 and again in 2019. The response was always the same, they must drive & duplicate the problem. I have videp that will show the worst its ever been from last month Nov ' 2020 in which it shows the transmission, constantly or every time, downshifting when pressing the upshift paddle. How do I send this video to you?

During my time driving the vehicle it has been running great but recently after reaching 23,500 miles it started acting funny as in. Slowing to a complete stop and accelerating it would loose RPM then go up then it hard shift up until the 4 gear. Putting in reverse it would make a rocking noise under the hood. To stop it I would have to put it in park. This happened 4 times. I brought it up to mechanics they could not figure out the problem.
