When I looked up Dodge Journey on wikipedia my takeaway was the 3.5-3.6L engine's have a 62TE transmission and the 2.4-2.7L have the 41TE transmission. Also notes that the 62TE transmission often runs into issues when you don't use Chrysler's own transmission fluid. Take all of this for what it is worth as I know wikipedia isn't the end all/be all. I have a 2012 Crew with 84,000 miles and yeah I'm nervous to ride it out until 120,000 per my service manual. I bought it used at 45,000 miles and assume the dealer didn't replace the fluid at that point. But I can certainly see Steve's frustration with following the service guide and then running into issues at 77K miles. I also have a Ford Fusion and the manual has to replace the fluid every 30K which seems excessive the opposite way. And I assume when I replace my fluid (not flush), I would want to request the filter to be changed too...?

The engine in your 2011 Dodge Journey should be running when you perform a transmission fluid level check, otherwise it will be inaccurate. The video above shows where the transmission fluid dipstick is located in your Journey and how to check the transmission fluid level. If the transmission fluid level in your Journey is low, you need to add transmission fluid through the dipstick tube. When adding transmission fluid to your Journey, be sure to add it slowly as it will fill up quickly and is difficult to remove excess fluid if you overfill. If you are having problems with the transmission in your Journey, such as clunky shifting or hesitation, check the fluid level first - it is amazing how many drivers pay thousands of dollars for transmission work when a half quart of transmission fluid would have fixed the problem.
