wantoo Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 My wife was driving her 2014 Journey, made a right turn and engine shut off in the middle of the road. Started back up and barely made it to the side. Engine revs and trans temp was @195. I shifted down to all gears(6 speed) to no avail.Code was for speed sensor, and of course none in stock at any parts store. Warranty ran out due to time in Oct 18'. Any suggestions?

jkeaton Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) Replace the speed sensor like the code is telling you to. Or, post the code so we can research for you. Need to know what engine an transmission as well. If you need to order one, then order one. Not like you can just bypass it and start driving it again.

wantoo Posted March 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 Found the speed sensors online. The guy who pulled the code just told me it was reading speed sensor. I have the 3.6L with a 6 speed trans. I checked the trans fluid, still smells good and only slightly dark red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantoo Posted March 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 I started the engine up right now, I don't have an engine light on. Checked gears still nothing. So no codes are showing up. Would a tcm lose programming and cause this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larryl Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 It's probably a mechanical issue inside the tranny that will not put out a code......... not an electrical issue OhareFred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantoo Posted March 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 Larryl, that's what I'm thinking, I'm going to drop the pan, see whats in there. If it's clean then I'll rent a dolly and take it to dealer 30 miles from here. Hope they can at least point me in the right direction. The speed sensor will be here this afternoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wantoo Posted March 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 Well dropped pan,no pieces just metal shavings.. See pics. Would this be considered a failure? About to change the filter and refill. See what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtomatoman Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 This happened to me. My transmission was found to have metal shavings in the fluid. I got a check engine light, but mine was working and shifting fine for the short amount of time that I drove it while taking it to the dealer. Dodge diagnosed a complete transmission failure and replaced the entire transmission. I have the lifetime max warranty, so maybe that had some effect. My understanding is that metal shavings indicate impending major transmission issues. Good luck. Peace. jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve from Indy Posted April 8, 2019 Report Share Posted April 8, 2019 Wow, that really stinks. We just had to replace our transmission last week - had 70K miles on it. But $6,600? I assume that includes labor but you might want to shop around. That's insanely expensive for a remanufactured inferior transmission.

Steve from Indy Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 I’m prepared to eat a big heap of crow if, when all is said and done, Chrysler does anything of significance to stand behind our Journey transmission issues. I’ll let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve from Indy Posted April 20, 2019 Report Share Posted April 20, 2019 Yeah, so I’ll give some credit to Dodge - we heard from their customer care group and they will cover the cost of the transmission and other non-labor items. Although I’m still disappointed that we only got 70K miles out of the transmission and had to cover the big labor bill, I do recognize Dodge wasn’t obligated to refund a dime. we’re getting a refund of $2,900 which was welcomed news. Sorry to those that were upset at my venting - I do understand that stuff breaks. I’m glad to see that Dodge seemed to agree, in this case, it was a bit premature. jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechanical-idiot Posted April 20, 2019 Report Share Posted April 20, 2019 Well Steve, I hate to tell you this, but Crow does not taste very good. I have had more than a few helpings of it myself during my lifetime. In your case it might taste a bit better since your luck changed. Glad you had some relief from your stress. Journey on Steve, Journey on.......... Wantoo, please keep us posted on your progress. Hope to heck that you can get a good used one at a reasonable price. Best of luck. mechanical-idiot jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantoo Posted April 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 Thanks mechanical-idiot, good news is that I found a used one at a pull it yourself junk yard for $200 with a 30 day warranty, waiting for rain to stop and going to tackle this thing... I'll let y'all know how it goes.... jkeaton and 2late4u 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantoo Posted April 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 Well guys issue has been resolved. Iwas getting my tools togeather last night to get started on the removal. I moved a box with my son's things and as I went thru it I found the warranty coverage in there. I looked at the terms and notice it said 48mo 50000 miles! Actual miles when bought were 32416....shoot I woke up this morning and called the company. Numerous transfers later the dealership miskeyed the info, called dealer they corrected it!! I just called roadside and they are taking it to dealer and getting it fixed. Man guys, what a ride! As for the used trans can't return so I will sell it. My Journey has not ended, only begun..pun intended..lol. I'll keep you posted. 2late4u, OhareFred and larryl 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
