At times the car refuses to downshift in order to safely accelerate when needed. Common example is when coming to a "rolling stop" at a stoplight and preparing to turn left through an intersection, the car is usually in 3rd or 4th gear. When we press the gas pedal, 3rd or 4th gear aren't low enough gears to make the car safely accelerate through the intersection so you're left just creeping through it in 3rd or 4th gear when the car should've downshifted to 1st or 2nd gear from recognizing the gas was depressed significantly. But over and over again this scenario plays out and it's put my wife and family in danger each time. It was found at the service appointment at lucas Dodge in June of 2017 that there was a transmission fluid leak. It is unknown how long this leak existed or how much fluid leaked out or how much mechanical transmission damage occurred. We bought this car brand new and it's now been in for at least 5 repair attempts for this problem and we know the way it is behaving isn't normal as it didn't act this way when we first bought it, plus we've had 2 identical loaner Dodge Journey's and they do not act this way.
