Default Auto Shift Not Working - HELP!

2013 Dodge Dart Turbo Dual Dry Clutch - Was driving on interstate and car went into Neutral with message "Auto Shift Not Working". I tried to manually shift and new message "Gear not working". Coasted to side of road, put it in park and shut the engine off. After a couple minutes it started up and I could go through the gears, but the check engine light was on. Went by AutoZone and they ran their error check machine and the computer said "No messages". The mgr asked me when I last changed the key battery. Said sometimes there is a communication error between the key and the engine (anti-theft feature?). New Key battery and still check engine light is on. It is New Years Eve and no one is open with appt until the 2nd week of January. I only have 1 car and I am the only income in my household as my husband is disabled. I need help!

After letting the engine sit for about an hour, I started the car up and the check engine light is OUT! Drove town streets and interstate. No errors. Never heard of the key fob battery causing any problems, but there you have it

Default Frustrated!!

After sitting in the driveway for 2.5 hours, now it won't start! Just makes this clicking sound. Normally I would thing starter, but the message says service transmission.

Hi Ltoney,
We're very sorry to hear about these troubles that you have been experiencing. I am unable to provide any technical advice since I am not a trained technician but please do not hesitate to send us a private message if you would like any additional assistance once your vehicle is brought to your dealer.
