The truck has always shifted hard since I purchased it January 2016 but I figured it would just work its way out since it was brand new. Friday July 21st 2017 I was driving and started hearing a very loud grinding type of noise coming from the engine and I was just trying to make it home ASAP. All of a sudden while I was driving (25 mph) I was slowing down and when I took my foot off the brake and went to accelerate again there was nothing there like no power at all just rpms going higher. I pulled over put the truck in park and back into drive and it wouldn't move anywhere at all. I turned the truck off and quickly put it in drive so I had some momentum and after 1st gear it did the same exact thing. I was 10 miles away from my house and had to repeat this process for over an hour just to make it to my driveway. The next morning I repeated the process in order to get it to the closest Dodge dealership which I did safely. Now my truck has 53,500 miles on it and the dealership stated the transmission is blown. Great real great a brand new car and a blown transmission? it's ridiculous especially when Dodge will not do loaner vehicles leaving me now paying hundreds of dollars out of pocket for a rental and still paying NY payments on top of this all. Something needs to be done to help people like me who are inconvenienced in these situations. I own my own business and drive 150+ miles a day I need a car and no one cares. I'm so furious and upset its not funny.

Car started making whinning noise then gears wouldnt shift, then they would, n when they did they shifted hard making car jump, almost hit a car when I was driving home, as well as a parked car when I tried to park and car jumped real hard again. . Definitely not safe car has 92000 miles on it and they say its in warranty 4 lifetime but only by original owner, so I guess im the 3rd owner since I brought from a dealership. . . Please help.

The Dodge Journey has a history of transmission faults, loud and noisy and rough transmission shifts. While shifting into a great it will make a loud thud and the car will jerk. We started to get used to this as it has happened since day 1. We let Chrysler know about this and apparently this is "normal. " I have never had a similar issue with any other car so to me it is not normal. So fast forward to this past weekend. We were going to tow a few items and drop them off. So everything is loaded and ready to tow, we are on a flat surface with no incline at all, start the car up and put it into drive and bam! a loud noise while we tried to put it into gear. The car was still running while this happened and we started to roll backwards, while in drive. I tried to hit the gas but it just revved a few thousand rpms. I hit the brakes and put it into park and then drive again, but the transmission was still not engaging. Something happened causing the loud bang and no throttle response to the drivetrain. After I put it in park, walked around and then got back in starting the car up again; the car engaged gear this time. Everything ran perfect and then I took it to the Chrysler dealership, they said they could find no evidence what happened or what was wrong, but reassured me again that the loud transmission shifts are normal. So this could be potentially dangerous if this was to happen while on the road or at a stop somewhere.
