Problem overview

Some Dodge Journey owners report experiencing jerking transmission issues despite multiple service attempts. These problems can often be attributed to low or dirty transmission fluid, which can significantly affect performance. Additionally, some owners find that updating the vehicle's software may resolve glitches or bugs affecting the transmission. Mechanical adjustments or replacements of certain components within the transmission system may also be necessary for improved functionality. Furthermore, it's advisable for owners to check for any recalls or Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) related to transmission issues, as manufacturers may offer solutions for known problems. If transmission issues persist, seeking a second opinion from a different mechanic or dealership is recommended to ensure all potential solutions have been explored. Addressing these issues promptly is crucial to prevent further damage and maintain a safe driving experience.
