  1. How hard is that to do on my own? What would I need?
  2. I have a 2016 SXT, V6 with about 72,000 miles. I started noticing a tick coming from the engine at idle. It’s more of a steady tick than a thunk. It increase when moving but goes away at higher speeds. No other issues and no lights. Oil level is good too. Help!
  3. I am too. Just called the dealer and they're going to take another look at it next week. They said they can check for another update or so but in my mind I know they won't try hard because I'm not giving them a penny because it's under warranty. I'll be very pushy because transmissions should shift smoothly, any jerking over time kills gears.
  4. Thanks guys! You're right, this new of a car shouldn't experience this. I'm going to milk them of this warranty.
  5. Hello all! New to the forum. Just purchased a brand new 2016 Dodge Journey SXT black on black (black top edition). Only had 61 miles on it and now has 1,500. It has already been in the shop due to hard, jerky shifting from 1 into 2 and 2 into 3 and downshifting into 2 and 1. There is no loss of power or surging. Since it is covered under warranty the garage flashed the transmission and checked the fluid etc for free but it still has the jerkiness to it and I'm not happy. This feeling will definitely cause problems down the road, less conveniently when the car is no longer under warranty. I think I'm right to say there should only be smooth shifting, anything else will just cause premature wear and tear. Thoughts? Side note: It shifts smoothly when I first start it up and drive around for a minute or two. After it warms up is when I start feeling it. My beautiful 2000 4.7 Durango shifts better!
