Transmission Noise problems of the 2015 Dodge Journey

Tl the contact owns a 2015 Dodge Journey. While driving 50 mph, the vehicle made an abnormal noise and decelerated independently. When the accelerator pedal was depressed, the speed would not exceed 20 mph; however, the rpms revved highly. An independent mechanic stated that the transmission failed and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer stated that the vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 16v461000 (power train). The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000.

Tl- the contact owns a 2015 Dodge Journey. The contact stated that while in reverse the vehicle would not immediately stop and while switching the transmission to the drive position a load noise was present coming from the engine compartment. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer cape coral Chrysler(2200 ne pine island, cape coral FL. ) who replaced the motor mount but the failures continued to occur. No further information was available. In addition while driving and slowing down approaching a stop light the vehicle suddenly experienced unintended acceleration and crashed into the rear of a second vehicle. During the crash the driver sustained neck and back injuries. A police report was taken at the scene and the vehicle was towed away. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure(case 64687641). The failure mileage was 44,000. Jft.

While driving on highway approximately 45-50 mph, beginning to ascend a small hill, an extremely loud squeak was heard and there was a brief period of resistance before the vehicle "lurched" forward and continued to make a clacking noise, followed by a loud crack and more resistance to acceleration as I pulled over. The vehicle is an awd, 3yrs old and had 52k miles on it. It was towed to a dealership and repaired under the powertrain warranty. The dealership informed me that the compounder had failed, locking up the transmission. The awd continued to try to power through, which cracked the power take off (which had a giant piece broken off of it). The dealership replaced the transmission and the pto, but couldn't explain the reason for the failure. As such, I am now constantly worried that the same issue may occur again and cause an accident. I would be very grateful for any investigation into this or similar issues with the powertrain on the 2015 Dodge Journey awd.

I purchased my 2015 Dodge Journey crossroad in June of 2015 brand new. At less than 8,000 miles when going from park to drive or reverse to drive I started to experience a violent jerk and / or loud noise. I took it to the dealership and they could not recreate it and sent me on my way. It didn't happen too often then. Took it in for the recall and at around 10,000 miles mentioned that it picked up in frequency and again they told me they couldn't get it to happen. I took it in one last time around 12,000 miles because it was happening even more frequently and I was again told they cant recreate it and they refuse to check the transmission. I gave up. Now at about 40,000 miles and 3 years later and it happens daily. I will be trying a different Dodge dealership soon to see if they can help, if not I am getting rid of this vehicle.
