OOPS, I did my own much asked for complaint to posters of other forums I use....The Journey has 189K miles on it. Also it is a nice deep Red in color with the "Mainstreet" trim level, Easy access front doors, power drivers seat, push start ignition, smaller screen audio. When I get some "words" on my concerns, I'll post what is happening on a proper page thread. BUT let's say normal "servicing" IS up to date as suggested. Appreciate the response from you 2late4u !

Howdy, and thanks for the welcome! To be "on point" to my main concern is the harsh shift points and "shuddering" shifting when coming to a stop. This was also a main concern with the first 3.6/six sp trans in the Dodge Avengers, there was a TSB for computer updates to "fix" it. Found here the mentioned TSB for Journeys. I've only had this vehicle for a week, and is well liked by all the family. Found that it has an open recall for steering column problem(possible) that I'm going to call our nearest dealer about and see if they can run my vin for any TSB's that may be needed for it or if they were done. When I get that accomplished, I'll report in on the appropriate forum page.

Howdy all, Nice to find a forum for this "new to me, but used 2011 journey AWD! Looking for tips and tricks to keep this high mileage beauty running like a top. I'm from Western NY and car came from Maryland...NO RUST ANYWHERE! Only 2 issues I've found is TPMS quirk and trans quirk that I think may involve the TSB 18-008-13. Looking forward to reading thru the forum pages and chatting with members here. I participate on a number of forums that cover the different vehicles in my "stable". But this Journey is the newest year ride I've ever had, so the electronics/computerization is going to be my weak point. See you all around the pages!
