2016 DODGE JOURNEY Power Train Problems

Started off with check engine light reaching the end of November 2025 then about a week later started to experience whining noises when accelerating, jerking and fluid started leaking. My safety and of others was put at risk because as the jerking happened out of nowhere when driving other vehicles could of hit me from behind. I looked up to see if there was any recalls and some did show up but when i reached out to the dealer they did not respond back. Then a independent service center looked into it and on their end they also saw the recall without me mentioning it and they reached out to the dealer and they were told there was no recall.

i have been having problems with my 2016 dodge journey crossroads loss of propulsion while accelerating and a p0841 with a whine noise. Car was made 6 /2016 door vin says it was made.

As I was driving my 2016 DJ just list power.. I coast my to the side of the road. I try cranking the car up but it wouldn't crank up. So I had it towed to my house which were about 5 mins away. Please help me with my car. Vehicle would not go up small hills

Hello. This vehicle ,2016 Dodge Journey has had repeat transmission problems . It should of been recalled under S44 as the date of production was Sept 2015, engine, 3.6L. and automatic transaxle (DG2) .. It is again at Crown Dodge for the repeat transmission problem .. The Crown Dodge Dealership has been paid for this recurring transmission since 2021when the vehicle had only 59,000 miles on it . I have noticed others have had the same issue with this particular vehicle that should of been and is listed on recall S44.. Thank you for your help...

To whom it may concern: My 2016 Dodge Journey Crossroad AWD (3.6L) is currently experiencing "P0944 Loss of Hydraulic Pump Prime" (See attached diagnostic report, vehicle_record_report.pdf from a local auto repair shop) The car was assembled in November 2015. The assembly date falls within the date range specified in the attached safety recall report for S44 / NHTSA 16V-461. (attached is copy, RCRIT-16V461-1293.pdf). However, the VIN number for my vehicle doesn't show up when searched. Given the type of transmission problem we're experiencing, the assembly month/year, the engine too, can someone be assigned to investigate if my vehicle should be included in the recall? It has the symptoms and details to indicate that it might. Also, I did open a case with FCA, Case #[XXX]. They informed us that if the VIN doesn't show up, there is no recall. We asked if they could verify the transmission model to rule out the recall possibility. They wouldn't. They suggested that we take it to a dealer for a diagnostic. However, we'd prefer another third party to review it first. Is there a recommend, recognized third party that can verify if it is or isn't the SR-44 recall issue causing the problem? This vehicle is needed for our family. Can someone be assigned to look into this for us? Thank you so much.

While driving the car, car stalled and began displaying the lightning bolt icon on the cluster. The power steering stopped working and the brake was very stiff and hard to depress. I pulled off the road and waited a few minutes and started the car again. The idle was very rough, icon was still displayed on the cluster, and car began jerking and stalled again. I had the vehicle towed to the house and began looking into the issue. Error codes read on the car was P0365: Camshaft Position Sensor “B” Circuit, and the red lightning bolt indicating an issue with the electronic throttle body. The battery was taken out and tested bad so it was replaced. The throttle body was cleaned and tested good. When I tried to start the car after the codes were cleared, the vehicle attempted to start but wasn't able to turn over fully. The P0365 code returned. I then had a mechanic come check out the car to see if he could do anything to help. He determined that the valves in the engine were bent and the cars timing was off. With all of this being said, This issue I am complaining about is the P0365 Camshaft sensor code. There was a recall for the camshaft sensors in some 2016 Dodge Journeys but my VIN did not fall in that range. When I called FCA, I was told there was nothing to be done because my VIN wasn't included in the recall. A bad camshaft sensor would cause all of the issues that I am experiencing with the car. If the sensor is bad or doesn't perform as it should, it could effect the overall timing of the engine's firing sequence, causing stalling, failure to start, and damage to the engine, like in my case with the bent valves. This incident posed a severe safety risk to myself and the other drivers around me due to the loss of power steering and partial loss of braking ability. Luckily this incident did not occur on the interstate or major highway, where there are speeds in excess of 55 mph.

The car kept stalling while driving. We had it for 2 weeks and all the sencers went bad and it over heated. Had to leave it on the side of the road and it got towed by highway patrol.Also rewend the battery. Now we are stuck without a ride.i looked up the recalls it said they were repaired but I don't think that's true.

Transmission pump has failed at only 98,000 miles. I was stopped at a stop light and the vehicle would no longer move. I restarted it, and it allowed me to continue driving, but once I stopped again at a stop light it wouldn’t move. This endangers me and the cars around me since the vehicle doesn’t move out of the road. We had the vehicle towed and the mechanic confirmed that it was the transmission pump. There may have been one warning sign weeks ago, but I thought it was due to water in the gas line which happens often. The warning signs were not significant to what happened with the car not moving.

Car started shifting erratic

Cam/crank position sensor intermittent problems and codes. Catalytic converter efficiency codes and problems. Power steering problems. Automatic transmission issues, stutters, acceleration issues.

In regards to the recall S89 that has NOT been issued for my 2016 Dodge Journey - the crankshaft sensor has been replaced 3 times. While traveling on the highway, at highway speeds the vehicle will just die with little to no warning. Most recently 7/20/2023 - this is the 3rd time this has occurred.

The contact owns a 2016 Dodge Journey. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, she heard a grinding sound coming from the vehicle and the vehicle started to jerk. The contact veered off the roadway and turned off and restarted the vehicle. The contact then stated while driving at slow speeds, the vehicle started to jerk and decelerated while the accelerator pedal was being depressed. The check engine warning light illuminated. The contact pulled off the roadway. The vehicle was towed to the residence and was inspected by an independent mechanic who retrieved DTC codes for transmission failure. The vehicle was then towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the transmission failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 126,000.

Mileage: 126,000

My abs, traction control, and my AWD service light all have been on making my car jump before I can accelerate and it then drives fine but today it would not allow me to go over 15MPH and all I could hear was grinding noises! This was the first time that has happened, I’ve replaced the wheel sensors, bearings, and all new tires it turned off for a couple months but now is back on! This is a huge hazard, I have 3 kids that were with me when the new incident happened and had to put my hazards on to make it into a gas station parking lot, this needs a recall on all senors, abs, cruise control, electrical, transmission. List goes on. What is it going to take for them to see many people have been complaining of the same issues at hand?? Is it going to take a serious or critical accident?? It should not have to get that far, I’ve complained a couple years ago and no one ever contacted about these issues. I just want my car safe for my kids! Please I beg of you to do something about these issues!

Front blowers blow hot air when A/C is turned on, defrost won’t work in winter, the backup camera keeps going black and glitching when in reverse, my abs, traction control, and AWD service keeps coming on, I have changed both front wheel sensors, wheel-barrings, brakes, and all new tires. It helped for a month no lights on and it drove amazing no issues and one day it started again and when I try to accelerate you can feel it not want to go, I hear a grind noise and then the car will jump super hard then the AWD service will kick on and traction control turns off and it will drive fine again. I have 3 kids and do not feel safe anymore driving my car! Im shocked there isn’t a recall on any of these issues considering there have and still are a lot of complaints on the same issues I’m having. Also cruise control won’t work. I seen it was recalled but previous owner had taken it in and got it replaced but it definitely is bad again. I know these issues can not be good on my car’s transmission or engine! Please help me! I’ve filed a complaint before and heard from no one.

While driving my dodge journey 2016 crossroad plus my engine started to hesitate when giving it throttle pressure to accelerate and when attempting to accelerate it decreased in speed and would in then cut power to speed up and then gain it back rapidly going into high rpm’s vehicle would then slow down on highway causing a huge safety risk for myself and others on the interstate

I was driving on the highway and my car started to jerk when I accelerated and hit the brakes. I pulled over to see what was wrong with the car. It hesitated to start back up and when it did it stalled. My ESC light came on and my engine light came on before I pulled over. I was stuck on the side of a busy highway with a car that almost caused an accident when it jerked. Took the car to AutoZone for a diagnostics check and got 3 error codes, P0344, P0128, and C121C-00. Was informed that there are similar issues being reported about cars of the same year, make, and model that was not included in a 2016-2017 recall and that there is an open investigation referring to the camshaft sensor being intermittent (Code P0344). There was no other warning lights on the dashboard. All the lights came on at the same time.

While driving as I increased speed it seems that the trans would slip. Also several times it actually lost power for a second before regaining composure. But today all this occurred and when I came to a traffic light , suddenly the car shutdown. I was able to turn it back on again, but I believe these occurrences are happening with regard to a recall regarding the transmission pump. One that I never received info about in 2016. If I had I probably wouldn't be reporting this.

Transmission pump failure at 150k miles

The vehicle started making a whining noise, also brake light came on, vehicle lost ability to brake in open traffic, slipping in and out of gear, vehicle loss power while driving in open traffic. This all began on or around 10/8. The engine light came on in the vehicle after which time the vehicle was no longer driven by owner as a safety precaution. On 10/11 the vehicle was diagnosed by Aamco transmissions. The mechanic advised the vehicle had experience hydraulic pressure failure, the hydraulic pump in the vehicle went out unexpectedly. The mechanic said all fluids were inspected and topped off and look well all except transmission fluid, which was described as burnt. The mechanic explained that because of the pump failure the transmission wasn’t receiving any pressure. I found an open recall not specific to my VIN but specific to 2016 Dodge Journeys that was for power train automatic transmissions. Recall number was S44. Another recall number was 16V461000. The consequences of this recall is exactly what my vehicle experienced. AAMCO also confirmed they see this a lot with my type of vehicle. My vehicle is available for inspection. My safety was gravely out at risk as I drive a lot taking my kids to basketball practice. I live in a very busy area metro Atlanta and have used the expressway often I could have loss the ability to brake at a higher speed or completely shut off in the middle of high speed traffic.

The contact owns a 2016 Dodge Journey. The contact stated while driving approximately 45 MPH, the vehicle began to decelerate and lost motive power. The contact depressed the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. While coming to a stop the vehicle inadvertently lunged forward. The vehicle was turned off and restarted but failed to exceed 30 MPH while driving. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was flashing on and off. The contact had taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic who informed the contact of transmission failure with the vehicle and referred her to the local dealer for assistance. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 77,000.

Mileage: 77,000

The engine/powertrain occasionally does not accelerate on the freeway causing us to backup traffic. This happens randomly and will eventually cause a major accident. I have contacted dodge but they want me to leave my car for 6 weeks with no loaner I am a single mother that is not possible. The car is under bumper to bumper coverage but they still wont fix the issue! Also my heated seats are stuck on high and often smell like they are going to catch fire! Again dodge wont help!

At 58000 miles I was told today that the torc converter and transmission pump is bad. The car could not idle while in drive and would only stay on if going over 20mph, once under 20mph the car would shake and die out.

While driving Check engine Light appeared and shortly after vehicle stopped accelerating and steering wheel went stiff and Luckly I was near a stop Light where I could turn into a store. Vehicle would not let me turn it off or change gear. Had I been on the highway It would have caused a major accident. After a few minutes, the vehicle let me change gears and turn it off. Drove to a mechanic and he fixed the Crack sensor that had gone out. A week later, Check engine light came out again and now I am experiencing high RPM with low acceleration. Code stated transmission problem. Mechanic now says I need a new transmission.

The problem started back in April, where lights on my dash started coming on. I noticed a different feel when i drive now. I dont know if its electrical steering or what. Its the BRAKE, ABS, A TIRE, and A Car with Swerve Lines... I dont feel safe when me and my kids are in truck. One time i was driving and it said i was going 99 but was actually going 45. Also it says there are 4 RECALLS ON THIS MODEL but when i put my VIN its says i have no unrepaired recalls. THAT IS FALSE! THE RECALLS LOOK LIKE SOME OF THE RPOBLEMS MY VEHICLE IS HAVING. I dont know whats going on but for my kids safety im gone need it handled and fixed!

The AWD light keeps flashing and it’s making my car jerk and not able to drive it. I have 3 kids and can’t be driving it and get stuck on the side of the road.

My car lost power at all due to transmission failure

As I was driving 80 miles hour on interstate, I begin to hear a whining noise and pulled into rest area (thankfully). As I pull in, the car stops moving and will not go anywhere...not reverse or drive. At this time Engine light comes on. No early warning signs. After waiting 7 hours on Chryslers Road Side Assistance to send a tow, it was towed to a Dodge dealership and found that the transmission pump has failed and sent metal shaving through the transmission. My car is the same make and model and manufacture date (9/2015) that the S44 recall covered (NHTSA Campaign ID Number 16V461000), however my specific VIN number is not included. Dodge area manager was contacted and refused to add it to the recall. Mileage is 82000 and I just drove the car off the used lot 1 1/2 months ago. This should be added to the recall and all Dodges of that make, model and year should be checked for potential failure and if it occurs, compensated for repairs. I had just driving through a large city with 5 lanes of traffic at a high rate of speed, and if it had stopped just a few moments before, we would have in a major, life threating accident.

The transmission quit pulling. Other 2016 dodge journey had same problem and we're recalled but mine wasn't included in this recall. Really horrible to place all this money in a newer vehicle and have these expensive problems that are a problem from factory. Very dangerous to just stop moving in mid drive.

The contact owns a 2016 Dodge Journey. The contact stated while driving 30 Mph, the vehicle stalled with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was driven to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was then towed to a dealer and it was confirmed that the transmission had failed and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the Vin was not under recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 46,600.

Mileage: 46,600

Transmission had gone out at 102,368 miles. First service on the transmission is at 120,000 miles. Paid for the transmission out of pocket. It went out again 2 weeks later. Put in a 3rd transmission and it lasted several months and went out again. This will be the 4th transmission. There was a recall but I didn’t fall in the parameters but it’s the same issues as the recall, same year make and model. There no reason why it should be a recall. That’s 3 replacement transmission in under a year. All transmission were bought from Victorville motors. A dodge Chrysler car dealer.

WHEN DRIVING, AT ANY SPEED OR UPON ACCELERATION, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY LOSES POWER AND GOES TO 1500RPM(APPROX.) WITH A TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND BATTERY CHARGING LIGHT ( CAR SWERVING LIGHT AND RED LIGHTNING BOLT LIGHT) ILLUMINATED. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THIS IS VERY HAZARDOUS, ON THE STREET ITS VERY FRUSTRATING. WHEN VEHICLE IS BROUGHT TO A STOP AND COMPLETELY SHUTDOWN, THEREBY RESETTING THE ECM, THE VEHICLE STARTS NORMALLY AND DRIVES NORMALLY( SOMETIMES!) ON OTHER OCCASIONS AFTER BEING PUT INTO GEAR AND PROCEEDING THE SAME THING OCCURS AND ENGINE WILL NOT REV OVER 1500-1800 RPMS AND SO LONG AS YOU ARE NOT GOING UP A HILL WILL SHIFT NORMALLY TO GET TO ABOUT 40 MPH TOPS, ON A HILL HOWEVER SPEED WILL DROP TO ABOUT 15-20 DEPENDING ON THE HILL I GUESS. THIS HAPPENED ON 8-15-20 AND CAR RESET AND DROVE NORMALLY AFTER THAT WITH NO ISSUES BUT THE FOLLOWING MORNING AS I LEFT HOME FOR WORK IT OCCURRED 2 BLOCKS AWAY FROM HOME AND AFTER RESETTING CAR VIA SHUTTING IT DOWN SEVERAL TIMES THE ISSUE WOULD NOT "SELF CURE".

THE CAR WAS NOT ACCELERATING PROPERLY, THE TRANSMISSION FELT LIKE IT WAS SLIPPING, AND THE ENGINE FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO DIE. ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. MY WIFE SHUT THE CAR OFF. SHE TURNED IT BACK ON AND ATTEMPTED TO REVERSE TO THE CURB, BUT THE CAR BEGAN MOVING FORWARD WHILE IN REVERSE. THERE WAS NO PRIOR WARNING, AND THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING JUST FINE THE PREVIOUS DAY. WE TOWED THE CAR TO A LOCAL MECHANIC ON 09/17/2019 WHO STATED THAT THE POWER TRAIN TRANSMISSION HAS COMPLETELY FAILED, AND WE NEED TO COMPLETELY REPLACE THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 64K MILES. WE HAVE OWNED THE CAR FOR JUST 2 YEARS WITH NO PRIOR PRIVATE OWNERS. WE HAVE AN APPOINTMENT ON 09/19/2019 WITH PAULDING CHYRSLER JEEP DODGE LOCATED IN DALLAS, GA FOR A SECOND OPINION. I HAVE LEARNED THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR POWER TRAIN TRANSMISSIONS ON 2016 DODGE JOURNEY. GIVEN THE AVERAGE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND OUR VEHICLE'S SPECIFICATIONS, IT SEEMS EVIDENT THAT THIS ISSUE CORRESPONDS WITH THE MANUFACTURER'S RECALL.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2016 DODGE JOURNEY OUR PF THE DRIVEWAY. SHE DROVE 2 BLOCKS WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST ACCELERATION AND BECAME JERKY WHEN SHIFTING. ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON WITHOUT WARNING SO SHE IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE CAR OFF. SHE RESTARTED AND MANAGED TO GET IT IN REVERSE TO TRY TO PULL OVER TO THE CURB BUT THE CAR JERKED FORWARD WHILE IN REVERSE. WE TOWED IT TO OUR DODGE DEALERSHIP AND HAD IT DIAGNOSED. WAS TOLD THAT OUR HYDRAULIC PUMP FAILED CAUSING IRREPARABLE DAMAGE TO OUR TRANSMISSION. WE WERE TOLD WE NEEDED TO REPLACE OUR ENTIRE TRANSMISSION. WE HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 2 YEARS AND THERE IS ONLY 65000 MILES ON IT. DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR FAULTY HYDRAULIC PUMPS CAUSING TRANSMISSION FAILURE (S44) BUT WAS TOLD THAT IT DOESN'T APPLY TO OUR VEHICLE. SOUNDS VERY SUSPECT. TRANSMISSIONS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO FAIL AFTER JUST 3 YEARS. SEEMS TO BE A RECURRENT ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR. WE STILL OWE A LOT OF MONEY ON THE CAR SO WE CANNOT SCRAP OR TRADE IT. NOT GETTING MUCH HELP FROM CUSTOMER SERVICE DESPITE ALL OF THE SIMILARITIES WITH THE PRIOR RECALL. MAYBE FORCED TO PAY THOUSANDS FOR THIS REPAIR. WARRANTY JUST EXPIRED AT 60000 MILES WHICH WOULD HAVE COVERED THE POWER TRAIN. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN A PERFECT STORM. I WISH MY FAMILY COULD GET SOME HELP.

I HAVE A 2016 DODGE JOURNEY ABOUT A MONTH AGO RAN OVER A LARGE RAIN PUDDLE WHILE TURNING IN TO GET SOME GAS. FILLED UP AND AS I'M DRIVING OFF ABS, BRAKE, AND THE SWERVING CAR SIGNAL KEPT COMING ON. MY FUEL GAUGE READER WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO EMPTY AND THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD GO UP AND DOWN RANDOM TIMES WHILE DRIVING. COUPLE DAYS LATER WE HAD TOOK IT IN TO GET CHECKED OUT WAS TOLD MY FUEL SENSOR WENT OUT AND NEEDED TO GET A NEW FUEL PUMP BECAUSE THE SENSOR WAS INSIDE OF IT. HAD IT FIXED AFTER WAITING TWO DAYS FROM OUR CAR GUY DROVE IT OFF THE REPAIR SHOP AND NOT EVEN HOURS LATER THE SAME ISSUE. WAS TOLD I HAD WARRANTY ON FUEL PUMP PURCHASED FROM DEALERSHIP AND THEY WOULD REPLACE IT AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD NEEDED A NEW FUEL PUMP AND THEY WERE GOING TO CHARGE ME 135 PER ERROR CODE AND THEN WOULD TELL ME WHAT ADDITIONALLY NEEDED TO BE FIXED AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO LEAVE THE CAR FOR UP TO A WEEK. THE CAR WAS JUST PURCHASED IN AUG 2018 AND IT HAS UNDER 54K MILES ON IT. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR AT ANY GIVEN TIME ALL THE LIGHTS CONTINUE TO COME ON. THE CAR STOPPED ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. IT GAVE OUT ON ME IN THE CENTER HIGHWAY AND I HAD TO WAIT FOR EMERGENCY SERVECES TO ASSIST ME IT TOOK 2 HOURS AND THIS WAS AT 7 AM IN THE MORNING ON 610/10 FREEWAY IN HOUSTON, TX THE CAR HAS GIVEN OUT ON ME TWICE NOW AND IVE REPLACED THE BATTERY TWICE. WHATEVER IS THE ISSUE CONTINUES TO KILL THE BATTERY POWER AND I CAN'T FIND ANY MECHANIC INCLUDING THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, BUT THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME FOR RANDOMN WORK THAT DOES NOTHING TO FIX THE ISSUE.

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION SWITCH SOME TIME I FEEL LIKE SOMETHING HIT MY CAR FROM THE BOTTOM (THIS IS A VERY TIGHT SWITCH). THIS IS A FAMILY CAR WE DRIVE VERY SAFETY. I HOPE THIS IS THE WARRANTY ISSUE.

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

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, THE TRANSMISSION JERKS AND IT SEEMS THAT THE COMPUTER TELLING THE TRANSMISSION WHEN TO SHIFT GEARS IS SLOW AND NOT PROPERLY FUNCTIONING. IT'S HAPPENING FREQUENTLY, ESPECIALLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN, COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP OR STARTING TO DRIVE FROM A COMPLETE STOP. ALSO PUTTING INTO PARK AND THEN TAKING OUT OF PART, THERE'S A BIT OF RESISTANCE, LOUD BANG AND HARD SHIFT.

MY VEHICLE RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF. LOSES ALL ENGINE POWER, POWER STEERING, ETC. HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER 3 DIFFERENT TIMES AND NO ONE CAN FIND THE PROBLEM. ONCE WE WERE STOPPED AT A LIGHT, 2 TIMES WE WERE PULLING OUT OF PARKING SPOTS, AND THIS LAST TIME MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON THE STREET AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF.
