    why do people always say just buy the vehicle you want? pretty sure a journey and a caliber look and drive completely different.

    some people like to mod cars and dont care what it cost.

     people like to be different and not have the same car as 10 million other people.

     

    i think a turbo manual journey would be really freakin cool. will anyone ever do it probably not, but if they did, absolutely no one else will have a car like it.

     

    are people not allowed to be unique?

    Bunch of negative Nancies here. They consider their vehicles nothing more than "grocery getters". If anyone asks a question about a possible performance mod, there will be immediate posts about how he should not do it and how manufacturer engineers know better, etc...

    I for once would love to see people modding their vehicles. It is what you make it to be. If you consider yours a "grocery fetter" and never trying to make it cool, then so be it! I think one can make an impressive ride out a DJ. More power to those people. It may cost a bit of money and may cost more than buying a car with all of the options already installed. But that's not the point. 

    Peace.

    Nice looking DJ and good price! We've got the same exact 2017 Crossroad and love it. Same color and trim. Last November I had local Dodge dealership add backup OEM camera as well. $595 out of the door. The part was $360 plus labor. The vehicle does not come pre-wired for the camera. The tech had to actually run wires from the screen all the way to the back. I watched him doing it. Works great. I had to come back, though, since he forgot to hook up license plate lights. Other than that no issues. I had called 3 different dealerships and this was the lowest price. Main difference was the amount of hours each required to do the work.

    Also, to enable GPS they charge $500 or so. Takes only 15 min.

    I am not sure if another transmission shop would have better understanding of Dodge transmission. I might try calling around, though.

    There's very informative article on 6 speed DJ transmission: http://etereman.com/blog/fiat-transmission/its-electric-well-electrical-common-problems-with-the-chrysler-62te

    Also, there is a petition to recall or fix the unit. https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/mopar-62te-transmission-needs-to-be-retuned-or

    Doesn't seem like it's getting anywhere yet. But whoever has issues listed there, should definitely sign it.

    Just and update to this post. I ended up taking DJ to local dealer. They checked the transmission, fluid etc. No issues were found, so they reset Transmission Control Module(TCM). After two months or so (about 600miles), it seems to be driving better and the downshift bump is not as pronounced. However it's still there, if you pay attention to it. Only happens when coming to a stop. I guess that's how Ultradrive 62TE transmissions are.

    Welcome. I got one one exactly like yours, same year, color and options minus Navigation. Really like it.

    What did the warranty cost you, I wonder? We purchased it as well for $1980, up to 75k, but ended up cancelling. Will wait till manufacturing warranty about to expire and then look into getting MOPAR warranty.
