You will need to contact your servicing dealer for cost estimates. 

So took it into to one of my local dealers, quoted this TSB and asked them to check the diagnostics. They kept it for 2 days, called me and said "we know it is misfiring, but until we get a check engine light/code thrown at us, we aren't going to throw parts at it..."

So any advice what my next plan of action should be?

p.s. Had a friend replace the spark plugs, but not ignition coils. Could it be coil issue?

Here is a copy of the TSB you mentioned.

NUMBER: 18-008-13

GROUP: Vehicle Performance

DATE: February 21, 2013

SUBJECT:

Flash: MIL Illumination P0108 - Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor Circuit High And

Transmission Shift Improvements

OVERVIEW:

This bulletin involves selectively erasing and reprogramming the Powertrain Control

Module (PCM) with new software.

MODELS:

2012 - 2013 (JC) Journey

NOTE: This bulletin applies to vehicle equipped with a 3.6L or 2.4L engine (sales

code ERB or ED3) and a 6 speed automatic transmission (sales code DG2)

built before October 23, 2012 (MDH 1023XX).

SYMPTOM/CONDITION:

The customer may experience any of the following:

· Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illumination. Upon further investigation the

Technician may find that P0108 - Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor Circuit High

NUMBER: 18-008-13

GROUP: Vehicle Performance

DATE: February 21, 2013

has been set active or stored 3.6L engine.

NOTE: MIL Illumination for P0108 - Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor Circuit

High affects only 2012 model year vehicles equipped with a 3.6L engine

(sales code ERB).

· 1 - 2 upshift clunk or bump 2.4L & 3.6L engines

· 3 - 4 harsh upshift at closed throttle after a WOT stab in 1st or 2nd gear. 2.4L & 3.6L

engines

· 4 - 5 upshift clunk or bump 2.4L & 3.6L engines

· 5 - 6 upshift clunk or bump 3.6L engine

· 6 - 5 downshift clunk or bump 3.6L engine

· 6 - 4 downshift clunk or bump 3.6L engine

· RPM Fluctuating or Jerking feeling while operating in cruise control. Condition is

more noticeable when the vehicle is going up and down grades.2.4L & 3.6L

engines

· 1 - 2 harsh upshift going down a grade 2.4L engine

· 3 - 2 downshift clunk or bump 2.4L engine

· 4 - 3 downshift clunk or bump 2.4L engine

· Improves the consistency of how shifts are controlled during upshifts “torque

management”.

· Delayed downshifts 3.6L engine

Updating the software will correct the conditions listed above.

What is the estimated costs of having this done? My 2012 Journey V6 is doing this exact shutter after coming to a stop and transferring from brake to accelerate.
