I get the same problem with my transmission. I have had it at two different dealerships several times each. The only thing they could tell me was to drive it till it breaks because it's the same transmission they use in several cars and they have always had problems out of them. This was the transmission specialist at the dodge dealership in Chattanooga, tn. I get on average about 16.8 mpg on the hwy because of back and forth shifting from 5th to 6th. It doesn't matter if the cruise is on or off. I wish there were a dealership with a service department that could fix the Journey and not just blame it on a bad design. Also I have had my power steering system replaced and that problem wasn't fixed either. Good luck with yours!

I have had this problem since about 3,000 miles. I have had it at the dealer ship several times and they say the computer shows no prblem. When the sales person drove the Journey he said that it was not right and they should do something about it. 4 trips and two dealerships later no help from Dodge. Mine also will slip between 1 and second and hit hard into second when it decides to change even at coasting speeds. I was told to drive it till it breaks and then bring it back. I hope it doesn't cause a wreak and someone getting hurt before dodge will fix my brand new Journey. I wish they would buy it back from me. Salesman told me to get a lawyer and go for the Lemon Law. Two different Dodge Dealerships said they would buy my $28 Journey back from me at $16k. What do you think yours is worth? I hate the Journey

I have had the same problem since about 2000 miles. The dealership replaced my entire powersteering system and it did not help one bit. I have taken it in the two different dealerships and no one knows what to do. I hate my STX
