Chuck, I get the same noise only mine sounds like a bee buzzing. Of course the dealer said they couldn't duplicate the noise. After reading all this I am going to insist that they replace the cowl. What they need to do is get rid of those plastic type screws that hold it down.

Not mine, it continues to be the same. I read alot on this site last night and will be making an appointment today. I have decided to start the fight, jus wish I had found this site earlier because I have 11,000 miles now. UGHHHHH!!

When I put the car into reverse, sometimes it will clunk/bang into gear. There are other times when I shift into drive it will do the same thing. It does not happen all the time. Does anyone else have this problem or does anyone know why this happens?

I know this is going to be a dumb question, but I am somehow hoping that I can do this. I have and SXT with only the AM/FM Stereo w/in-dash 6 disc DVD/MP3 player. I don't have NAV or MyGig nor do I have UConnect. My question is can I hook anything to the "AUX" such as my ipod? I have read on here that there is some sort of a connection in the glove box, but am somewhat confused about what it is. Thanks for any help with my confusion.

When I first got the car everything was fine. About a month later I noticed the shifting became rough. 1st to 2nd was horrible, very rough, and when it downshifts from 2nd to 1st the car jerks forward and if your not ready for it you can very well hit the car in front of you. I brought it to the dealer and they told me that was the way this transmission worked. I knew that was "bull", but I figured I had the extended warranty. Had I known about this site and the great information it provides I would have taken it further at that time. Also, when on the highway doing 55-75mph the car shifts between gears which is a real pain. I have read here that others have the same problem with their Journey's. I also had the left front headlamp connector burn out. It actually melted!! I had trouble with the CD player. I kept getting an error message when loading new CDs. They fixed it by programing the radio again. There is also an electrical problem that they say "can't be duplicated". When you turn the key off the dashboard flickers like there is a short. It does not do it all the time, but it happens enough that they could have seen it happen. And last, there is a "buzzing" noise that comes from the front when doing 60+ mph. I told them I think it's coming from the cowl because it's plastic and only held on my those little plastic screws, but they once again said they could not hear it. Like I said before, when I bought the car I loved it, but now I really hate to drive it. But now that I have found this site and know that other people are having the same trouble I will be making a service appointment ASAP. Well thats my story...

I bought one of the first Journeys back in March and I loved it. Everything was great and then it all went downhill. Anyway I live in Jersey and the way this "crossover" is running I am scared to drive it when it snows. I now hate this car...
