2014 Dodge Journey Transmission Problems

Your car's AWD viscous coupling unit (which helps distribute power to all wheels) is failing, causing clunking and chunking noises and making the car jerk during acceleration or turns. This problem has occurred on multiple 2014 Dodge Journeys, and in severe cases the rear differential can crack and separate from the vehicle, creating a serious safety risk. You may need to replace the rear axle assembly and viscous unit to resolve the issue.

When trying to start the car in the past every now in then I would get a one click and no start I tried to shift into neutral and nothing the same , I played with the button by turning g off and back on a few time and it would start and it started to get harder to get it to start and now it will only click and no start , I replaced the battery and starter was checked out and is good all battery ends are new and new battery cables , I know Google is no auto mechanic but the post I have read there is a lot of dodge journeys that has this issue when I called dodge I was told to bring it in and I will be charged , also about every 4th time I hit the door locks from the door as soon as the door shuts the horn beeps 3 times and all the doors unlock , need help please from what I am understanding it's something to do with the anti theft or the neutral safety switch inside the transmission ,

The vehicle started vibrating and making noise Brought it to a mechanic and was told the transfer case was broke due to the bolts backing out, something they've never seen before I had it towed to dealership because this happened 4 years ago under warranty Now dodge said it's not covered even though it was already replaced

I bought this car used but it only had 26340 on it and now it is almost to 30000. When driving it sounds as though the motor is knocking, but the oil is fine when checked on. It seems to have difficulty changing gears, sometimes way to fast and it whines other times it struggles to shift gears. Rpms are not steady they are bouncing around high love. When it does get to speed it feels as though the brakes are being appflied. At times the motorwhines because, the gear is to low it starts to get loud and become very hesitant when shifting to the higher gears. Sometimes it feels like the motor or something is going to come offf. There is a bunch of rattling going on . When I do park and turn it off, shortly after it sounds as if there is something running around inside the motor area. I was told it runs great and haven't even put 3000 miles on it. I think it's going to blow up or just die

The contact owns a 2014 Dodge Journey. The contact stated while driving approximately 25 MPH, he became aware that the oil pressure gauge was fluctuating and then the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the oil pressure and engine stall failure had started as an intermittent failure but had become a daily failure. The contact had driven the vehicle to an independent mechanic who diagnosed and determined that the transmission pump and transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The contact researched online and related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V461000 (Power Train). The failure mileage was approximately 150,000.

WHILE DRIVING FROM FROM GRAND RAPIDS AND ARRIVING TO MICHIGAN CITY, INDIANA, I HEAR A NOISE THAT MIMICKED THAT OF A FLAT TIRE. I IMMEDIATELY MADE A RIGHT TURN INTO THE PARKING LOT TO CHECK EACH ONE OF MY TIRES, BUT NONE OF THEM WERE LOW OR COMPLETELY DEFLATED. I DROVE UP A BIT TO PARK MY VEHICLE, SO I COULD FURTHER INVESTIGATE AND IT STALLED. WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE, I SMELLED A LIGHT BURNING SMELL COMING FROM UNDERNEATH TBE VEHICLE AND I JUST LET IT SIT, WHILE CALLING MY INSURANCE COMPANY'S ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO OBTAIN SUPPORT. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED BACK TO GRAND RAPIDS COSTING ME $401 BECAUSE MY INSURANCE ONLY PAID UP TO 15 MILES FOR TOWING AND THIS DRIVE WAS APPROXIMATELY A 125 MILE DRIVE. DUE TO COVID, I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A RIDE BACK TO GRAND RAPIDS AS WELL. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR BACK IN APRIL 2015 AND AFTER THE DELEARSHIP CHECKED TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE, I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL SAYING IT WAS MY ALL WHEEL DRIVE POWERTRAIN UNIT/SYSTEM AND IT HAD BUSTED AND WAS LEAKING FLUID. THE QUOTE THAT THE GENTLEMAN GAVE WAS A WHOPPING $2200 AND SOME CHANGE. I REALLY THOUGHT I REMEMBERED PURCHASING A POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, BUT IS THERE A WAY TO FIND OUT FOR SURE IF I DID? I WOULD APPRECIATE MORE GUIDANCE ON THIS SITUATION BECAUSE I AM OUT OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AND WOULD LOVE TO HAVE SOME FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, IF POSSIBLE. ALSO, I WANTED TO INITIATE A RECALL FOR THIS BECAUSE IF I HAD BEEN STILL ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING, THIS COULD HAVE TURNED OUT WAY DIFFERENT AND I WOULD HATE TO HEAR THAT OTHERS MAY NOT BE AS BLESSED AS I WAS. I DO NOT HAVE MY INVOICE YET BECAUSE THEY ARE WORKING ON FIXING MY CAR STILL. I WILL SAVE IT ONCE I DO, IF NEEDED. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR INVESTIGATING THIS SAFETY CONCERN AND HAVE A GREAT DAY!

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY GOING STRAIGHT AT 60 MPH MY VEHICLE SHUTS OFF. WE THEN HAVE TO STOP THE VEHICLE TO RESTART IT. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ABOUT 1X A WEEK FOR ABOUT A MONTH. THERE ARE NO CODES AND ALL ENGINE INFORMATION READS FINE.

THERE IS A U67 BY FCA RECALL ON MY 2014 DODGE JOURNEY WHICH I WAS NOT NOTIFIED BY THE DEALER! I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE RECALL AFTER PAYING TO HAVE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER REPLACED MYSEL! HOWEVER MY CAR DECIDED TO GO INTO A LIMP MODE WHICH IT HAS DONE SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2013 BUT THIS TIME IT IS STAYING IN LIMP MODE SO I RESEARCHED RECALLS, THERE IS ALSO T47 AND U49 WHEN I TOWED MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER THEY INFORMED ME THE CONVERTER I HAD PUT ON DOES NOT MEET STANDARDS AND THEY WERE GOING TO REPLACE IT AGAIN AND ALSO DO THE OTHER TWO RECALLS AS WELL AND THEN THEY INFORMED ME THEY COULD NOT DO THE U49 OR U67 BECAUSE THE VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE THE ORIGINAL ENGINE! THEY TOLD ME AND GAVE ME DOCUMENTATION THAT THE ONLY RECALL DONE WAS T47 HOWEVER THEY REPORTED TO FCA THAT THE U67 WAS COMPLETE WHEN IN FACT IT HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED! THE VEHICLE IS STUCK IN LIMP MODE BECAUSE IT NEEDS THE PCM FLASHED AND THEY WILL NOT DO THE RECALL U67 OR U49 ON MY VEHICLE AND SENT ME AWAY TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE 89 MILES HOME IN LIMP MODE! THIS VEHICLE HAD HAD A PCM ISSUE SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN 2013 CAUSING A NUMBER OF UNSAFE MALFUNCTIONS I MENTIONED IN COMPLAINT # 11337435 AND 11337440! THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE TAKEN OFF THE ROAD AND A NEW VEHICLE GIVEN TO ME FREE OF CHARGE OR MONEY BACK! FCA NEEDS TO KNOW U67 HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED ON MY VEHICLE,

I BOUGHT THIS CAR ON NOVEMBER 2013. AFTER FIRST/SECOND WEEK OF USE I REALIZED THAT WHEN DRIVING THE CAR WAS PULLING TO THE RIGHT. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TRIED TO MAKE AN ALIGNMENT WITHOUT SUCCESS. THEN THE PROBLEM CAME BACK AND WENT TO DEALERSHIP (LIKE 5 TIMES) AND THEY SAID THAT WERE THE TIRES (20,000 MILES ON THAT MOMENT). SO, SEVERAL WEEKS AFTER TIRE REPLACEMENT THE CAR PULLING CAME BACK AND NOW WITH 40K+ MILES ON ODOMETER THE PROBLEM PERSIST. ACTUALLY I WILL BUY 4 MORE TIRES FOR SECOND TIME AND THE CAR IS ALIGNED. I MEASURED THE CHASIS BUT WAS OK WITH NO BENTS OR DAMAGE BUT I TRIED TO MEASURE THE WHEELBASE OF THE CAR (FROM CENTER TO CENTER OF THE WHEELS ON LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE). SURPRISINGLY THE LEFT SIDE MEASURES 115 INCHES AND THE RIGHT SIDE MEASURES 114 INCHES (HERE IS THE PROBLEM). ACTUALLY I'M ASKING FOR CAR REPLACEMENT IN A COURT CASE. PS - DURING THE FIRST MONTH OF USE, I TESTED A 9MILES VEHICLE (SAME BRAND, SAME CONFIGURATION) AND HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE DEALERSHIP DID NOTHING. UPDATED 12/13/2017*CN

THE DODGE JOURNEY ROLLS BACK ON HILLS. IT IS DANGEROUS AND I'M SURE CAUSED ACCIDENTS. I HAVE AN AUTOMATIC AND IT NEVER HOLDS THE VEHICLE, IT JUST ROLLS BACK. IN THIS DAY AND AGE IT'S ABSOLUTELY A MAJOR FAULT. YOU HAVE TO LET BRAKE GO AND HIT ACCELERATOR. DANGEROUS. ALSO THE RADIO WIT MAPS AND DIRECTIONS IS BROKEN FOR 2ND TIME.

BOUGHT THIS WONDERFUL (NOT) CAR TO REPLACE MY MINIVAN. WITHIN THE FIRST MONTH, WHEN I WOULD PUT MY CELL PHONE IN THE "CAVE" UNDER THE RADIO, THE RADIO WOULD SCAN. DID THIS MULTIPLE TIMES AND EVENTUALLY WHEN I OPENED THE DOORS (A COUPLE OF TIMES), THE RADIO ACTUALLY MUTED,,,,THEY CHECKED IT OUT AND THEY REPLACED THE RADIO, THEN SOMETHING ELSE TO DO WITH THE RADIO....BUTTTT, IT STILL DOES IT. MENTIONED THAT WHILE DRIVING THROUGH COUNTRY ROADS, THE READ END GETS LOOSE. AFTER HE ASKED ME 1) DO YOU DRIVE FAST THROUGH ON THE COUNTRY ROADS AND 2) DO I LIVE IN IN THE COUNTRY (BOTH NO ANSWERS), THEY "CHECKED IT OUT" AND BAM....NEW SHOCKS ON THE BACK. KINDA MIFFED THAT THEY QUESTIONED MY DRIVING ABILITY ACTUALLY. I TOLD THEM THAT THE TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO SHIFT WEIRD. THEY CHECKED IT OUT AND SAID THERE WAS AN "UPGRADE" THAT COULD BE DONE, AND THEY DID IT. SEEMED TO WORK FOR A WHILE, BUT IT IS DOING IT AGAIN. TURNED THE REAR WIPER ON AND OFF (LIGHT RAIN) AND IT KEPT GOING. I DID NOT PUSH THE WASHER OPTION, AND KNOW HOW TO WORK A REAR WIPER, BUT WHEN I MENTIONED THAT TO THEM, THEY LOOKED AT ME LIKE I WAS AN IDIOT AND EXPLAINED HOW THE WASHER OPTION WORKS. BUT OF COURSE, THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. WITH MY NEXT OIL CHANGE, THEY ARE CHECKING ON THE CREAKING SOUND THAT IT MAKES WHILE DRIVING ON BUMPY ROADS AT SLOW SPEEDS....THEY THINK THAT IT IS THE BEARINGS IN MY LEAF SPRING, BUT SOUNDS LIKE WHEN WE HAD TO REPLACE A STRUT ON MY VAN. ALL IN ALL, I LIKE THE ROOM AND SETUP OF THE INSIDE OF THE CAR, BUT BOY....I HAVE NEVER PAID SO MUCH FOR A LEMON IN MY LIFE!! AND....GUESS WHO DIDN'T BUY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY????? YOU GUESSED IT.

BOUGHT THIS JOURNEY AUGUST 2014 , SINCE DAY ONE WE NOTICE THE TRANNY DOESN'T SHIFT RIGHT AND HAS BAD PICK UP YOU CANT EVEN GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY . , WE COMPLAINED AND THE DEALER DOESN'T DO ANYTHING SAYS OH THIS IS NORMAL. NO WAY I SHOULDN'T GET A BACKACHE EVERY TIME I DRIVE THIS JOURNEY. YOU CAN BE DRIVING AND WHEN U START SLOWING DOWN IT FEELS LIKE UR BEING HIT FROM BEHIND WHEN THE TRANNY SHIFTS . OR IF COMING TO A STOP SIGN THEN YOU HIT GAS IT SHIFTS THE SAME WAY . HORRIBLE AND A WASTE OF MONEY I WILL GO AGAIN FOR THE 10 TH TIME AND IF THEY DON'T FIX THIS , TIME TO TAKE THEM TO COURT LEMON LAW TIME .. *TR

I WAS SLOWING DOWN AND TURNING RIGHT INTO MY DRIVEWAY WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED. I WAS GOING 8 MPH WHEN I NOTICED I HAD NO POWER STEERING AND THE RPMS WERE AT 0. MY ENGINE STALLED FOR NO REASON. I HAVE PUSH BUTTON START/IGNITION, SO THIS IS NOT A CASE OF A HEAVY KEYCHAIN MOVING THE IGNITION INTO AUXILIARY OR OFF MODE.. THIS IS MY WIFE'S CAR AND SHE DRIVES MY SON AND DAUGHTER EVERYWHERE. I AM VERY WORRIED THIS COULD HAPPEN IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION OR AT HIGHER SPEED! I'M NOT A MECHANIC, BUT I HAVE NOTICED WITH THE V6/AUTO 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION, THIS CAR HAS VERY STRANGE SHIFTING PROGRAMS / "CURVES". IT SEEMS TO SHIFT EARLY AND SOMETIMES WHEN SLOWING DOWN, IT'S LIKE THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T DOWNSHIFT QUICKLY ENOUGH. THAT MAY BE THE CAUSE FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH. BOTTOM LINE, I NEED TO KNOW IT'S NOT GOING TO DO THIS AGAIN WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR! *TR
