Not sure about putting your baby in a crate as apunishment. I think they are supposed to be used in a nice way.
I have read a post on dog chat l think about a little mutt not liking cars. Can't think of her name but she has spaniel and a smaller one as part of her signature. Could be Paula - rings a bell?
Anyway her little dog has come on in leaps and bounds with a bit of patience so you will get there.
