My Dodge Journey had transmission failure along with the gas tank not being able to fill up to the f. My car jerked to move forward and the gas pedal would not cause the car to move forward. I brought the car to a Dodge dealership and they took about a week and a half to fix it. Here I am one week later having the same issue and needing to bring it back to refix the issue. There is a lot of complaints on the internet about this same issue and having to have the same transmission issues return for fixing two to three times before the car is fixed right. This is a beautiful car but a transmission issue that needs several fixes before the car even reaches 1200000 miles to change transmission fluid is not a good look. The transmission need to be recalled and new transmissions should be given to people who own this brand of vehicle. I only have one car and need this vehicle to put food on my table for my family during a never ending pandemic at that. The transmission on these vehicles are not reliable even after fixing.
The transmission is failing to shift. It shifts extremely hard and the reverse takes a few minutes to kick in or it doesn't work at all. Sometimes the vehicle will not shift at all. There is a strange burning smell after going up a hill. My electronic throttle control sensor is already on and there is only 13000 miles on the vehicle. I purchased it in January and it's only may. I have the shifting issues while driving. When it does shift it's a sharp jerk. It's a constant problem. I no longer want the vehicle.
