2015 Dodge Journey Power Train

I was driving down the freeway and my transmission started slipping and eventually lost power, had to pull over on a 80mph freeway with my 4 kids in the car after turning on my hazard lights and wait for my husband to come get us (1 hour, due to how remote We are) he was able to limp the car home, but we couldn't even get it off of the freeway because it did not have the power to get off on an off ramp... I can't even begin to explain how scary that was to have my kids in a car on the side of the freeway while semis shook the car passing us at 70+ mph.. this is a known issue but my car does not fall under the recall and it absolutely should! The transmission oil and filter has been flushed as well as tested to make sure the solenoids are in good working order.

P0868 low pressure. current Recall needs expanded years. 2014 manufactured date is effected as well. Many things already replaced leading back to faulty pump. Viscous coupler also malfunctions in these at low milage. Flex plate fractures.

The check engine light stays on and code po740 Torque converter clutch circuit open, and the stated fix is replace converter solenoid and trans fluid and filter. Also recommends do not drive. I am qualified to make repairs and did so, cleared codes drove Approx.100 miles light returned on solid. I did research and found a recall id 16V461000 that may not have traveled through the recall system yet. I spoke to a dodge service advisor and was told that is was common and they have replaced several transmission so far this year. Part are scarce to get and Approx. $7k repair. and no recall was issued for the problem. It is my understanding that the car can loose power and no longer move as the problem progresses in traffic and on highway, poss causing an accident. All related parts that fluid travels musts be replaced including trans. oil cooler due to contamination.

When putting the vehicle into park it either shifts rite into park, shows -- on the dash, says R and it's in P for example my husband drove my car put it in the park or so he thought turned the car off and came in the house we all left a little while later I get in my car and it won't start and I look at my dash and it says vehicle not in park and it was clearly in park, went to a friend's house put it in park put my foot off the brake and it started rolling backwards look up at my dash and it's in reverse even though it is in park had to put it in neutral put my emergency brake on and turn it off use the little lever inside the center console to manually shift it into gear

When driving you can hear transmission whining van shift ok but constantly whining put in neutral and it stops.Will take it in for diagnose.Thanks.

Electronic throttle control is malfunctioning need to get replaced I was driving on a highway and lost acceleration this is very dangerous as I have young kids who are in the car with me. I've seen online where other people who own The same vehicle is having the same problem this should be recalled nationwide

The differential and the viscous coupler is what I'm having to replace now cause it is bad. The car is not that old and I'm going to have to spend around $3,500 to fix both of these parts. We could have been killed if we were driving the car, it would have locked up and caused an accident. Yes, the dealer said that it could lock up on us and damage other parts causing an accident. No, it hasn't been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others. No, there were not signs and warnings lamps prior to the failure. We took it to the dealer on November 18th and have yet to get it back. We called Chrysler and opened a case. They told us that the only thing they could do is to expedite the part and the dealer has the other one. Chrysler is expediting the differential, the dealer was to get the part on December 9th. The part still isn't here. I have called Chrysler several times and nothing is being done. Today I called and Chrysler is blaming the dealer for telling them they got the part when they didn't get it. Then, Chrysler was trying to blame the shipping carrier with is UPS. I think these parts the differential and the viscous coupler should be recall before someone get killed. Chrysler has known about these parts since 2013 and they haven't done anything about it.

MY VEHICLE BEGAN HAVING ISSUES SHIFTING GEARS AT 103,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE WOULD JOLT EACH TIME A SHIFT OCCURRED. IT SPECIFICALLY HAD ISSUES SHIFTING OUT OF REVERSE INTO DRIVE. THIS OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY FOR A COUPLE DAYS. THEN IT BEGAN HAVING ISSUES SHIFTING WHILE ACCELERATING. I MAINLY DRIVE ON THE INTERSTATE TO AND FROM WORK, AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO OVER 45 MILES PER HOUR. WE IMMEDIATELY PARKED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKING UNDERNEATH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP WHO TOLD US THE TRANSMISSION PUMP HAD GONE OUT AND WE NEEDED TO REBUILD OR REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION.

Driving back home on Dec-08-2021; about 2 miles from home I started hearing gear whine noise, only got louder. Pulled over about half mile from home, walked around the car to see if something was stuck underbody. After that, the vehicle would not engage gear when I put it in D or R. I had to press gas hard for the gear to engage, but the car unpredictably engage and would lurch forward and lose gear again. Kept doing that for until I got home. Checked underneath, oil was leaking from the trans pan. The gear would only engage when the gas is pressed hard, but the car would jump as soon as the gear engages.

The problem component is the transmission fluid pump. The issue first started while driving. the transmission started making a grinding noise. the fault code for this was P0868. Our vehicle was towed to a dodge dealership for inspection and repairs. Estimated cost is $1576.84. I have researched this issue and feel this should be considered a recall. Owners should be covered for these repairs.

I had two separate incidences. The first one occurred at approximately 96,000 miles. I went to start my car and it wouldn’t start. To my knowledge nothing was left on inside to kill the battery. I got a jump start and when I started driving my car would get stuck in 2nd gear. It would sound like it was going fast but was barely driving. I took it to the dealership where they tested it and said it ran fine, no error codes or lights appeared. After that it drove fine until approximately 105,000. I was driving on the highway at about 75 miles per hour. All of a sudden the car stopped accelerating and I had to quickly pull off the side of the highway. I turned the car off and back on and it started driving just fine. I am scared to death of driving it now.

Transmission is consistently slipping on the upshift from 2nd to 3rd gear, there is no warning light coming on.
