The problem component is the transmission fluid pump. The issue first started while driving. the transmission started making a grinding noise. the fault code for this was P0868. Our vehicle was towed to a dodge dealership for inspection and repairs. Estimated cost is $1576.84. I have researched this issue and feel this should be considered a recall. Owners should be covered for these repairs.

While driving on highway approximately 45-50 MPH, beginning to ascend a small hill, an extremely loud squeak was heard and there was a brief period of resistance before the vehicle "lurched" forward and continued to make a clacking noise, followed by a loud crack and more resistance to acceleration as I pulled over. The vehicle is an awd, 3yrs old and had 52k miles on it. It was towed to a dealership and repaired under the powertrain warranty. The dealership informed me that the compounder had failed, locking up the transmission. The awd continued to try to power through, which cracked the power take off (which had a giant piece broken off of it). The dealership replaced the transmission and the pto, but couldn't explain the reason for the failure. As such, I am now constantly worried that the same issue may occur again and cause an accident. I would be very grateful for any investigation into this or similar issues with the powertrain on the 2015 dodge journey awd.
