Journey turns off when shift to drive


Recommended Posts

Have a 2018 Journey GT with 3.6L V6 and 6 speed auto

It has been running great, but today while in a drive thru line, it started shuddering when creeping forward, then the brake became solid, and the engine shuts off. (not a stall, seems like a key turns off)

Tried the shifter override method, but still shuts off when shifting to drive. Can start in Park or Neutral, can drive in reverse, but as soon as shifter moves to Drive, the brake gets stiff and engine shuts off.

Always start out with reading codes. A good bi directional scanner rather than O'Reilly obd2 reading is needed. Probably a few tranny codes showing up.

 

How is tran fluid level. There is no dipstick but people use the engine oil one to get a rough measurement. Search this site there are a few links about what level is ok using the oil dipstick to measure.
