NewLogik Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Hi everyone, I hope I'll find some help around here with all you enthusiasts for the dodge journey ! It's actually my first post here, but I usually find my way when I don't have much clues about an issues by going on forums like here. I'm a car enthusiast as well as a serious part time mecanic with lift at home, etc... I need your help to get the issue troubleshooted. I do have a Dodge journey 2009 SXT V6 3.5L which is the FWD model. I can't get it to move foward, but reverse's working fine... I hear the transmission somewhat get in gear when it's put on "D" but will not move at all, even if giving some gaz... ESP, ABS and another light which I can't remember at this time is on in the dash... I've not been able to get any OBDII standard codes, it might have some codes for the transmissions, but don't have any scanner for this with me... What should I take a look at first ?

redtomatoman Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Please, anyone with some ideas ? Thanks, Not all forum members have engine/transmission technical knowledge. There are some though. I'm sure you will get some suggestions. My suggestion is to find the nearest dealer or transmission shop. My feeling is that the dealer is best. We are all married to the dodge service center with the new levels of technology and electronics that our DJs have. Good Luck. Peace.

bigtsr Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Either the tranny is toast or the shift linkage maybe stopping at the neutral position. P_R_N_D_L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcgusto82 Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Lift the car Once in the air, put the car in D. Do the wheels start to roll? I've no, try turning the wheels by hand. Roll? If yes, you're in N. if no, the tranny is jammed locked. - find s tranny shop. The dealer will kill you on this repair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be doing it on a 2 posts lift.Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
