Dodgedaddybug

Good morning, thanks for the welcoming. No maintenance issues past, oil changes regular, transmission oil change at 90k 98k on it currently. Solid runner with pep in it. Brakes, battery and tires only. No obd hookup, was thinking of stopping by the auto shop to get a read. AWD Indicator on, center display. The journey stays in 1st gear, you have to wait for the symbol to go out and you feel a slight thud when it engages. Then it stays functioning. Doesn't stop functioning until you shut the vehicle off. No matter how short the time of the dodge is off, it has to go back to waiting, usually 200ft drive, then your good until it's off. What else can I offer? Appreciate you gentlemen taking the time.

Once the dodge is cold, ready to start up again, putting it in drive, I have to drive 30 to 50 yards, so the transaxle warning light is on until a slight shifting noise and then the transmission shifts up in gearing and I can finally step on the gas with no other issues. If I don't accelerate quickly from a cold start, there's no other noises or grinding. What could be the problem with this Journey? 2017 V6 AWD CROSSROAD
