I bought a new 2011 Journey R/T 2 months ago, and for the most part love the car. It is loaded with more options then I have ever had on a car before. The power is great, it handles awesome and very comfortable to drive, and with all the options makes driving fun.
But I am frustrated with the match between the new Penstar engine and 6 speed transmission. My transmission has the most frustrating shift patterns. It shifts into 2 hard and it feels like it bogs down shifting into 3 and 4. In the higher gears I don't seem to have the downshifting problems that some owners have but in lower gears it doesn't seem to go. I was just wondering if anyone else has had similar frustrations? Mine was built in December so hopefully they will offer a TCM update soon.
