Complaint Timeline
Chronological view of owner reports
Transmission failure at 43,226 miles, costing me $7,471.96. Replacement required. These are known to be a faulty transmission having recalls at this time up through 2016. Mine is not yet included but should be as they are the same unit. A failure like this is uncalled for.
CAR "CLUNKS" WHEN GOING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE, SPORADICALLY. ALSO THE TRANSMISSION "SLIPS" OCCASIONALLY. I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, CHANGED ALL ENGINE MOUNTS, NOVEMBER 2020. BROUGHT IT BACK A WEEK LATER WHEN I COULD GET AN APPOINTMENT, STILL DOING IT. THEY CLAIM I AM NOT "STOPPING FULLY" BEFORE GOING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE, AND SAY THEY HAVE DONE ALL THEY COULD. SPOKE TO FRIEND WHO ALSO OWNS A DODGE JOURNEY. SHE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IT IS OBVIOUSLY DAMAGING THE TRANSMISSION EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS, AND THAT IT IS NOT SLIPPING WHEN ACCELERATING AND CHANGING GEARS (AUTO TRANSMISSION).
TRANSMISSION SPORADICALLY CLUNKS FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. DEALER REPLACED ALL MOTOR MOUNTS. STILL DOES IT.
