The gear box & differential went out when we were trying to park. applied the gas pedal, felt like the vehicle wouldn't move, applied the gas more & heard a loud 'boom.' we're able to get the vehicle parked, then smoke started coming from the engine. looked to find out there was gear oil leaking from the vehicle. looked online @ dodge journeys & found out there have been a multitude of complaints about the same issue with other owners. had to get the vehicle towed home due to being unable to drive it. this happened october 19th, 2019 & we've been unable to drive the vehicle since incident. our dodge journey is a 2015 sxt all wheel drive with about 120,000 miles on it. there needs to be a manufacturer recall on these vehicles!! we've been told it's going to cost anywhere from $5,000 to upwards of $7,000 to get this issue fixed and we still have a vehicle loan of $11,000 we owe on it.

Transmission unexpectedly downshifts at any speeds causing the engine to red line and the speed governor cuts off the fuel causing the vehicle to stall. the only way to resolve the problem is to restart the engine. have almost been rear ended on more than one occasion.
