i had a remote starter installed and every thing was fine and when it was time to be pulled out the shifter was locked. remote starter is disconnected and still does it . the traction control and brake assistance lights are on in the dash. there is power at the brake switch and brake lights come on when pedal is pressed. basically the shifter solonied is not getting power to release the shifter. any clue anyone ive checked all the fuses and they are all good.

ive been told by a few people to disconnect the battery and touch the 2 ends together for a bit and it will clear everything and hopefully fixes the locked shifter

Sounds as if the installer messed up your DJ can.t help other to suggest
you bite the bullet and get it to dealer and if you read the manual it tells
you how to manually release the shifter lock solenoid,on the MY11 it's
in the console storage box not sure about the MY10.

I would not be so fast to blame the installer. I have a 2010 DJ that worked fine last night but this morning it will not shift out of park. No modifications to vehicle and less than 100k miles on it.

What year and engine?
![2015 dodge journey shift lock release Like](https://www.dodgejourneyforum.com/uploads/reactions/react_like.png)
My dj the year is 2010 2.2L engine 4c
The owners manual tells you how to bypass the shifter locking
solenoid as I stated in post #3 this thread , don't have the manual
download it from Chrysler/Dodge.com .
I down loaded Manuel got the information on how to by pass locking thanks as I see they have recalls on a few cars with the same defective part being pastic new part is aluminum no recalls on DJ and yet still using this defective part in these cars
As the Manuel shows a plastic pink thing well guess its not there its must of broke and fell off but I move the spring forward and she shiftes why are they still using a defective part in these cars as it only a matter of time before its breaks some models were on a recall for this so they know the plastic part is defective should start a class action law
It's a common problem across all Chrysler products. It's a little plastic lever that breaks over time from use. It's like this thing.

Any one know how to insult the unlock key for shifter the pink plastic thing is there a video on utube
I dont have access to you tube at work but you can search for a video yourself.
I have the same problem with my DJ 2010 shifter stuck in park we took the plastic molding off around the shifter and use screw driver to move shifter the pink plastic thing was broke off no longer there it's seem this is a problem with dodge they contine to use this defect part in there cars recalling some models we all should get a law suit against them for this as why recall some models and not the others that have the same problem
I have owned a number of Chrysler automatics with the shift
lock solenoid and never have experienced its failure,this is
not a safety problem but would generate a TSB (tech service bulletin)
IF it were a persistent problem.
It is not a safety related issue so no recall. Class action suits against big corporations are a waste of time and resources. Lawyers get rich, thats about it.

Gear Shift Stuck in Park
- Add to quote
I have a 05 Magnum RT with 38000 miles on it. I went to move it today and I can't get it out of park. I've applied the brakes prior to trying to shift, but it will not move. Has anyone else had this problem?
There's supposed to be a release button inside the storage slot beside the shifter. You have to remove the rubber liner to get to it. I have never had to use it, but I have read about some others who have.
![2015 dodge journey shift lock release](https://www.dodgetalk.com/d2/avatars/s/23/23672.jpg?1686097952)
Woode is right, and the release does work. Something is either out of adjustment, or a component has failed. I'll try to look it up in the shop manual to see if it gives any clues.
I had a honda that did this once and the shift cable was stuck somewhere down the line. the release in it was useless. New cable and i was on the road again.
Thanks everyone for the quick replies. I'll take a look at it in the morning. I called the dealer and they told me to pull down on the steering wheel sharply while turning the ignition. It didn't work. I did notice that the steering wheel does not lock when I have the key out. Magnuman, please let me know if you find anything in the shop manual. I really appreciate all of your help.
Page 8W-31-7 of the shop manual (Transmission Control System) shows a Brake Transmission Shift Interlock Solenoid (BTSI) with two wires coming from the Electronic Shift Module (ESM). The two wires are the BTSI Control and the Ignition-Unlock-Run-Start wires. I haven't found out where these components are located (my guess is in the console and under the dash, respectively), but it is possible that one of them (Solenoid or Module) is bad. The manual does not show how the ESM works internally, but there is also an Autostick Switch, and Shift Lever Position function included in the ESM. Have you tried the interlock release that "woodeman" recommended? If you've gotten it into gear, you might check to see if the autostick function is working and also the tranmission selector positions correspond between the dash readout and actual shift lever position. If they're not working, perhaps it is a fuse problem. Don't know where it's located, but my guess there is in the Front Power Distribution Center (black box) under the hood, on the passenger side. I'll keep on looking, but won't get a chance until tomorrow or Thursday. Hope this helps a little. Keep us posted on what you find out, too.
I've tried the interlock release and it did not work. Is there something special I should do while pushing the release. I've tried holding it in and then starting the car and it still did not work. I'll look at the fuse box and let you know what I find.
I've looked at the fuses and they appear to be fine. I noticed that the interlock release button allows the gear shift knob to move to the right prior to moving back to reverse or drive. When I crank the car and apply the brakes, the knob will move to the right without using the interlock release button. It just will not let me move the shifter back to reverse or dirive.
This was a reply I received from another member who sent it by email to me. Does anyone know what part he could be talking about? "Whatever you do, don't take it to the dealership. They charged me $80 just to tell me, yeah, there's something wrong with it. I took it to my mechanic down the street and he said there might be a small part (can't remember what it was, but it had to do with the shifter, not the tranny) that he'd have to replace. He ended up just opening it up and cleaning it out or something (I guess I spilled a lot of soda down there) and I haven't had a problem since. Well, once I did almost get it stuck again. See, I had this bad habit of treating my automatic like a manual shift and going into "1" coming down the hill by my house, just because all my previous cars were stick shift and I missed it. I did it again and it got stuck for a little bit (this time I couldn't get it into park). I used the manual override and it actually worked that time. That's the last time it's happened. So, long story short, just have someone open it up. Maybe it's just dirty or that little plastic thing needs to be replaced. And don't shift into anything but "D", "R", and "P". Sorry if I'm not too technical...good luck!"
Chino, Here's some info. out of the shop manual on how that system works. Hope it helps. These are just the theories of operation of the shifter operation. You also may want to check for any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC). Here's a link on how to check: http://www.lxforums.com/board/showthread.php?t=12361 If you have any codes (a letter and 4 numbers, i.e. P0420) let me know and I'll look them up for you. Theory of Operation The brake switch signal must be active before the shift lever can be moved out of the park position. The Shifter Lever Assembly (SLA) Electronic Shift Module (ESM) receives two brake switch signals. The first signal is a CAN C Bus message sent to the shifter lever assembly. The second signal is a hard wired brake switch signal to the shifter lever assembly. The CAN C Bus message is the primary brake switch signal and the hard wired signal serves as the backup brake switch signal. These two brake switch signals are compared against each other to verify proper brake switch operation. Diagnostic Test 1. ENGINE DTCS PRESENT With the scan tool, read Engine DTCs. Are there any Engine brake DTCs present? This is probably about all you can do, but it might give you a little more knowledge before hitting the dealer.
Stuck in park. Thanks to a member of another Magnum board, I found out what my problem is. The pink plastic hook piece that holds the spring broke, I have to replace the whole shifter. The photos attached are from him. Great photos!

Any idea why it broke?
I've had a similar problem with my 06 with 18K miles. It's intermittent and I usually find if I wait a few seconds I'll be able to get it out of park. If anyone knows how much it costs to replace the shifter and also if there's anything to avoid breaking the plastic hook it'd be awesome.

Not in park when in park?

I believe there was a recall for a parking switch but can't remember if it was this car or a different one.
There was a recall for the brake cable, and well that didnt help sadly
![2015 dodge journey shift lock release](https://www.dodge-dart.org/d2/avatars/s/1/1992.jpg?1566476172)
Which engine/trans do you have? It could be an adjustment in the console or a microswitch in the console. Did you have the trans shift cable bushing recall done?
Hi there. I have an automatic with 1.4 w turbo. Yes did the recall. So check the switch?
![2015 dodge journey shift lock release](https://www.dodge-dart.org/d2/avatars/s/46/46032.jpg?1639414180)
Hi i have same problem with this 1.4 so which switch you talking about it plz help
"Engage park brake to prevent rolling" issue???
To be mores specific, it's that metal tab with the round metal pin pressing against it under and just behind the switch that's the problem. The large round metal pin makes contact with the tab when the shifter is put into park. Sometimes it misses making contact by a fraction of a millimeter. The shift lockout solenoid doesn't engage and you can't remove the key from the ignition. The solution when this happens, at least for me, is to press the brake (which release the first lockout solenoid) and then push in the button on the front of the shifter and slide my finger off of it so it pops back out. You should hear the solenoid thunk into place. If that doesn't work, it's easy to pop off the silver bezel surrounding the shifter (you pull up on it from the front) and press the tab down to contact the pin.

There is a recall on the transmission shift cable bushing it a 5 dollar fix that can be potentially very serious issue if you are having issues already DEFINITELY look into having that fixed I had to have mine fixed as well

Key gets stuck in ignition
I have a 2016 Dogde Dart GT. I could not put it into park. Does the sensors put the brakes on ? The reason I am asking is first my car would not go into park. So I left it running and ran into a store . Then started to drive home and my brakes stopped working. They basically blew up. I have no brake fluid left. Now my car still won't turn off. Waiting on a tow.
If you read the entire thread, you would know that it's just a microswitch that is not making contact when you put the shifter in Park. If you permanently connect the wires to the microswitch together, you will never have the problem again. Your brake fluid leaking out is a completely unrelated problem.

Shifter gets stuck in park
- Add to quote
In the past 2 weeks, the shifter got stuck in park 3 times. Have to play with it a few seconds. Any ideas appreciated.
![2015 dodge journey shift lock release](https://www.ramforumz.com/d1/avatars/s/69/69743.jpg?1564443993)
What shifter do you have?
My truck in a 2012 Ram 1500, Quad Cab, Big Horn. It has a 5.7 Hemi and 6-Speed Automatic 65RFE transmission. It has column shifter. Hope this helps.
Ok, I do have some experience with that one as my dad's 2009 has the column shifter. What exactly do you mean by "sticking", are you pulling the shift lever down but the indicator in the gauge cluster and the actual transmission are both staying in park? Your transmission is the 65RFE (Rear wheel drive, Fully Electronic); but while it is shifted electronically, there is a physical linkage from the column shifter to the switch on the side of the transmission case that performs the switching functions. I believe in looking for the simple solutions first so I would first check to ensure that the switch is being moved by the shift linkage when the column lever is moved; if its not then your linkage needs adjusted. If it is moving then the next thing I'd look into is the shift solenoids inside the transmission.
The shifter lever will not move until I keep playing with lever.
Ok, so its the actual column shifter. I would open it up and inspect it to see what's hanging up. Here is a thread where a member converted from a console shifter to a column shift, it should help you to see how to open it up: http://www.ramforumz.com/showthread.php?t=205859
![2015 dodge journey shift lock release](https://www.ramforumz.com/d1/avatars/s/112/112032.jpg?1563787617)
If equipped: Could it be the shifter interlock solenoid that is starting to stick. Found an article on the matter: https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/symptoms-of-a-bad-or-failing-shift-interlock-solenoid and this: "In addition to the key-shift interlock safety feature, many vehicles prior to 2010 and all vehicles 2010 and newer are also equipped with a brake-shift interlock safety feature, which, in addition to the ignition switch being in the ON or RUN position, the brake pedal must be depressed and the button on the shifter must be pushed in simultaneously before the shifter can be moved out of "P" Park. The main components that control the locking and unlocking of the shifter are the vehicle ignition switch, the brake light/stoplight switch and the shift interlock solenoid. When one of these components fails, you may not be able to move the shifter out of Park. Additionally, if your vehicle's battery is dead, the shifter will be stuck in Park."
Is it on flat ground, have torque lock if on a incline? Also you can over ride the shifter solenoid and eleimate it from the equation. Look in the owners manual GEAR SELECTOR OVERRIDE — 6-SPEED TRANSMISSION If a malfunction occurs and the gear selector cannot be moved out of the PARK position, you can use one of the following procedures to temporarily move the gear se- lector: Column Shifter — If Equipped 1. Turn the engine off. 2. Firmly apply the parking brake. 3. Tilt the steering wheel to the full up position. 4. Press and maintain firm pressure on the brake pedal. 5. Insert a screwdriver or similar tool, into the access port (ringed circle) on the bottom of the steering column and push and hold the override release lever up. 6. Move the gear selector to the NEUTRAL position. 7. The vehicle may then be started in NEUTRAL.

Dodge Journey Not Shifting Gears: Causes and Fixes
![2015 dodge journey shift lock release](https://www.700r4transmissionhq.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Not-Shifting-Gears.png)
The Dodge Journey is a great vehicle that can last many miles with no issue. However, like any vehicle, it can face issues and malfunctions from time to time.
One such problem that can occur in the Journey is the tendency to not shift gears properly. When this happens, the first thing you should do is check the transmission fluid.
![2015 dodge journey shift lock release Dodge Journey Not Shifting](https://www.700r4transmissionhq.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Dodge-Journey-1024x430.jpg)
There could be various reasons for the Dodge Journey’s gear shifting issues, such as misaligned throttle position sensors, malfunctioning shift solenoids, or even general wear and tear related to higher mileage.
Understanding the symptoms and causes of these shifting problems is crucial for Journey owners, as it helps them to diagnose the issue and seek the appropriate repair solutions.
Key Takeaways
- Checking the transmission fluid is the first step you should take in diagnosing a Dodge Journey that won’t shift.
- Misaligned throttle position sensors and malfunctioning shift solenoids are possible causes.
- Diagnosing the issue and seeking proper repair can help ensure smooth operation.
- This issue usually requires a professional diagnosis.
Common Causes of Gear Shifting Problems
Transmission fluid issues.
![2015 dodge journey shift lock release Dodge Journey won't shift gears](https://www.700r4transmissionhq.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Check-Transmission-Fluid.jpg)
One common cause of gear shifting problems in a Dodge Journey is issues with the transmission fluid. Transmission fluid plays a crucial role in the operation of the transmission, allowing gears to shift smoothly and providing proper lubrication to prevent wear.
Low or contaminated fluid can lead to poor shifting performance, hesitation, and even damage to the transmission. It is essential to regularly check the fluid levels and replace it as necessary to maintain optimal performance.
Faulty Transmission Solenoids
![2015 dodge journey shift lock release](https://www.700r4transmissionhq.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/4L60E-Shift-Solenoid-Problems.png)
Faulty transmission solenoids are another possible cause of gear shifting issues in Dodge Journeys.
Transmission solenoids are responsible for controlling the flow of transmission fluid throughout the transmission system. When these solenoids aren’t functioning correctly, they can cause the transmission to not shift properly or at all. Replacing the faulty solenoids may resolve the problem.
Malfunctioning Transmission Control Module
![2015 dodge journey shift lock release](https://www.700r4transmissionhq.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Transmission-Control-Module.jpg)
The transmission control module (TCM) is responsible for managing the transmission’s operation, including shifting gears.
A malfunctioning TCM can cause several issues, such as not shifting correctly or not shifting at all. If the TCM is not functioning as it should, it may need to be replaced or reprogrammed.
Shift Linkage or Cable Problems
Finally, issues with the shift linkage or cables can also cause gear shifting problems in a Dodge Journey. These components connect the gear shift lever to the transmission, allowing the driver to change gears manually.
Damage or wear to the linkage or cables can lead to difficulty shifting or even the inability to shift gears altogether. Inspecting and replacing the damaged parts of the shift linkage or cables may help to resolve gear shifting issues.
Symptoms of Dodge Journey Shifting Issues
Delayed gear engagement.
Delayed gear engagement is a common symptom of transmission problems in Dodge Journeys. It refers to a hesitation or delay when shifting gears or a reluctance to shift into certain gears.
This could be caused by various issues within the transmission, such as high temperatures or worn-out gears. You may notice that your vehicle takes longer than usual to shift from one gear to another, or that the engine revs higher than normal before the transmission finally shifts.
Shifting Without Warning
Another symptom of shifting issues in a Dodge Journey is unexpected shifts occurring without any warning.
This can happen when the transmission quickly and suddenly shifts into a different gear, causing the driver to lose control or feel a jolt. This could be due to problems with the shift solenoids, the throttle position sensor, or other internal transmission components.
Difficulty Changing Gears
Dodge Journey owners may also experience difficulty when attempting to change gears. This can manifest as a resistance or struggle to move the gear shifter, or even difficulty selecting the desired gear altogether.
Such issues can result from internal transmission damage, low transmission fluid, or an improperly adjusted throttle position sensor. Drivers with this symptom should seek a thorough diagnosis from a qualified mechanic to pinpoint the underlying cause and correct it.
Strange Noises When Shifting
Finally, strange noises accompanying gear shifts could be indicative of transmission problems in a Dodge Journey.
You may hear grinding, humming, or whining sounds during shifts or when the transmission is attempting to engage a gear. These unusual noises could potentially indicate worn-out gears, damaged bearings, or other internal transmission components requiring repair or replacement.
Having a professional mechanic assess the situation is essential for determining the cause and the smart move.
Diagnosing Transmission Problems
![2015 dodge journey shift lock release Dodge Journey not shifting diagnosis](https://www.700r4transmissionhq.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Auto-Diagnosis.jpg)
When a Dodge Journey encounters issues with shifting gears, it is essential to diagnose the problem accurately. To do so, consider using the following methods:
Visual Inspection
The first step in diagnosing transmission problems is a thorough visual inspection. Check the transmission fluid level and its condition, as low or contaminated fluid can cause hard shifts or slipping.
Inspect the wiring and connections to the transmission for signs of wear or damage, as corroded or loose connections can impair signal transmission.
Be sure to inspect the transmission linkage and bushings for wear, as worn or damaged components can cause the Journey to struggle during gear changes.
Additionally, examine the throttle position sensor to ensure that it is functioning correctly and providing accurate data to the transmission control module (TCM).
Trouble Code Analysis
![2015 dodge journey shift lock release](https://www.700r4transmissionhq.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/OBD2-Check.jpg)
The next step is to analyze any trouble codes stored in the vehicle’s onboard diagnostic system. These codes can provide valuable insight into potential issues with the transmission.
Common codes related to transmission problems include those related to shift solenoids, transmission control modules, and throttle position sensors.
To read the codes, use an OBD-II scanner to connect to the vehicle’s diagnostic port. Once the scanner has retrieved the relevant error codes, consult a repair manual or online resources specific to the Dodge Journey to interpret the codes and determine the appropriate course of action.
Specialized Diagnostic Tools
![2015 dodge journey shift lock release](https://www.700r4transmissionhq.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Alternator-4.jpg)
Some transmission problems may require specialized diagnostic tools to pinpoint the issue. One such tool is a pressure gauge designed to monitor transmission fluid pressure.
If the pressure is abnormal or erratic, it could indicate a problem with the transmission’s hydraulic system, such as a faulty valve body or internal seal.
Another valuable tool is a multimeter, which can be used to check the electrical components of the transmission system, including solenoids and sensors. With a multimeter, you can measure resistance, voltage, and current to ensure the components are functioning correctly and within the specified range.
Using a combination of visual inspection, trouble code analysis, and specialized diagnostic tools, you can accurately diagnose transmission problems in a Dodge Journey and apply the necessary fixes to get it back on the road.
Solutions and Repair Procedures
Fluid level and quality check.
A crucial first step in addressing Dodge Journey shifting issues is to check the fluid level and quality. This involves assessing the transmission fluid for an appropriate color, adequate level, and absence of debris.
Low or contaminated fluid can lead to erratic shifting and poor transmission performance. If the fluid appears dark or burnt, it is recommended to flush the system and replace it with fresh fluid.
Solenoid and Control Module Replacement
For automatic transmissions, solenoid issues or malfunctioning control modules can lead to shifting problems. One possible solution is to replace the faulty shift solenoid or the automatic transmission control module (TCM, PCM).
These components are responsible for informing the transmission when to shift gears, and their failure can directly affect gear-shifting performance. It’s important to diagnose and replace these parts if they are found to be faulty.
Adjusting or Fixing Linkage and Cables
In some cases, the linkage and cables responsible for transmitting the gearshift input may become improperly adjusted or damaged.
In these situations, it is essential to inspect the connections and adjust, repair, or replace any faulty or misaligned components. Properly aligning the linkage and cables can resolve problems with gear shifting and improve the overall transmission performance.
Maintenance Tips to Prevent Shifting Issues
Regular maintenance can help prevent shifting issues in a Dodge Journey. Following a few simple steps will ensure the vehicle’s transmission and gears function smoothly.
Check the Transmission Fluid Regurarly
First, it is essential to check and maintain the transmission fluid levels. Low or dirty transmission fluid can cause gears to shift improperly.
It is recommended to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for the correct transmission fluid type and intervals for replacement. In most cases, this would involve checking the fluid level every 30,000 miles and changing it every 60,000 to 100,000 miles.
See your Dodge owner’s manual for the exact maintenance schedule.
Pay Attention to Changes
Another critical factor in preventing gear shifting issues is to pay attention to the vehicle’s performance. If your Journey is displaying signs of gear hunting, stalling, or jerking while shifting, these might be early indications of a problem.
Tire Size and Alignment
In addition, proper tire balancing and alignment play a role in transmission performance. Larger or improperly balanced tires can cause stress on the transmission, leading to gear shifting issues.
It is crucial to keep the tires balanced, aligned, and inflated per manufacturer specifications to maintain optimal transmission functionality.
Some Journey owners have experienced satisfactory results by adjusting the shifting points of the vehicle. This can be done with the help of a professional tuner who can reprogram the vehicle’s computer to shift gears at different RPMs. This may improve overall ride quality and put less stress on the vehicle.

Hello folks, Maybe I'm an idiot (scientifically proven to be a true, undeniable fact), but my shift lock does nothing. I tried doing this and my car simply does not get out of park. Any ideas as to what I may be doing wrong?

Does it not get your trans out of Park, or the shifter? In other words, did you try moving the car after pulling the hidden lever, or try pulling the shifter out of Park?

I wish I read this before. Broke my clips. Have NO idea how to use it again if needed ... till it's fixed of course.
I see what the issue is. It seems this piece is no longer attached where it should be, but good news is that is seems like it should just slot into place. Bad news is I have gorilla hands and need to figure out how to remove the center console if I wish to fix it. I noticed in both the manual and some videos, that the red pull tab was tucked under the center console and not loose above the lever, like how I found it. Some troglodyte at either the dealer or the bodyshop must have used it and yanked on it with such force that they also broke the metal tab that holds the lever down.

Thanks. So I was right, once I put the black plastic housing behind the bracket that should be holding it, and THEN pulled the lever, the car went into neutral. I need a good light, a couple of pliers, and some patience so I can put the plastic housing back into place with some good ol' surgical precision.

Wonder how many times you can do this before it gets sloppy? or worse, won't re-lock down in the park position, or worse yet break!..I would use it all the time for detailing purposes but obviously it seems to be for emergency use only...if anyone uses this regularly please chime in
Why would it get sloppy?
![2015 dodge journey shift lock release](https://www.challengertalk.com/d1/avatars/s/284/284326.jpg?1680601092)
I had the same situation as you and solved it by pressing the shift lock release button. Open the button cover with a screwdriver and press the button while shifting the shifter to neutral or other gears. Remember to lock the ignition and apply the front parking brake.

WTF, I can't shift out of Park???
- Add to quote
So I get up, get dressed for work, get in my 2006 Dodge Charger R/T (30k miles)... it fires right up. I put on my seatbelt, I step on the brake, and I go to put it in reverse to back out of my parking spot like I've done a thousand times beofre. Wait a second... something is different. I can slide it over, but not pull it down. Feels like something is keeping me from shifting into reverse (or anything else). I've tried stepping on the brake harder... I've tried rocking the car... I've tried turning the wheel back and forth... At first I thought that there must be a brake switch that is broken and that's deactivating some solenoid or something that's keeping me from shifting out of Park. But I can hear what sounds like a solenoid in the shifter engage/disengage when I step repeatedly on the brake... I then start thinking I shouldn't hear it "click", so I'm leaning towards a bum solenoid... Well, now I'm perplexed. With the solenoid engaged, you can't even move it from the P position... But when I step on the brake, it clicks, and you can shift it to the right and pull down a short distance, so that indicates the solenoid is indeed working, and there is something jammed somewhere. Looks like I'm not going to work today.

Your park lock out broke! This is what you need to fix it. http://www.custombilletstore.com/product_p/1028.htm DO NOT take it to the dealer!!!!! many have posted a how to. Its a 2 hr job but that is mainly getting the shifter out of the console area. I changed mine months ago. The piece that Dodge put in is plastic and will break and render the car undriveable. If you have any questions please ask. Here is one of the post that will walk u through the install also. http://www.chargerforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=89090 Like I said many have changed this part and we can assist any way we can.
Thanks... That's what I figured has happened. Not sure I can wait for them to ship me that part, but it's nice to know what to tell the dealership I need.
Make sure your brake lights work first. Its likely your park lock out as stated however if your brake switch is bad the pcm doesnt know your on the brakes and wont let you out of park either. Both are common issues
Good luck with the dealer. A friend had this issue in his magnum and the dealer would not fix it. also told him it was not covered under warrenty. If they do replace the part it will be plastic again and will break again. Billets is aircraft grade aluminum and will not break. You could call and talk to the Billet guys and see if they can expidite shipping, I am positive they will work with you. They are a wonderful company!
I almost have the shifter out, so I'll confirm it's the part that broke and give them a call...

THERE A SHIFTER OVER RIDE BUILT IN FOR THIS PROBLEM the cup to the right of the shifter comes out and theres a pink button on the left of the opening to the right side of the shifter. PUSH that pink tap in and the shifter will come out of park so your not stuck in the middle of no were.
If it's not the lock out, I have a complete shifter from an R/T. Fastmopar
Yep that is what breaks. I figured that is what happened. The spring attaches to the hook that broke. That is what disengages the shifter lock so you can shift out of park.
![2015 dodge journey shift lock release](https://www.chargerforums.com/d1/avatars/s/25/25092.jpg?1560946849)
That is the piece that the billet part replaces. It's definitely the best fix if you can swing it.
Looks like you got all the help you need, but I'll post you a link anyway. Good luck. http://www.lxforums.com/board/showthread.php?t=131714&highlight=pink+thingy
I just ordered the billet part... and overnight shipping was almost as much as the part. I'm seriously pissed off that Dodge thought they could use such a POS on something that could leave you stranded...
EXACTLY! I hope that if it ever happens to me, I won't be hunderds of miles away from home.
![2015 dodge journey shift lock release](https://www.chargerforums.com/d1/avatars/s/2/2294.jpg?1560946848)
What is the cost of the replacement part? If it's not too expensive, maybe a guy could be proactive and replace it before it breaks
The part is 49.95. I replaced mine so I would not be out at a show and not able to get home.
![2015 dodge journey shift lock release](https://www.chargerforums.com/d1/avatars/s/16/16374.jpg?1560946849)
There's an engineer somewhere that needs a shot to the nads.. and/or some purchasing guy that said I don't care if it breaks, need to be less than $.01 per part.. ugh. It's things like this that make american cars look really bad.. heck a hole in the plastic for the spring to clip to may have worked better.. not a flimsy hook. Tsk, tsk.. :nono:
dodge doesnt make a replacement part for it-you have to buy the whole F'in shifter at $250 and if you dont know how to do the install they change $400 at the dealer.
![2015 dodge journey shift lock release](https://www.chargerforums.com/d1/avatars/s/9/9451.jpg?1560946848)
This is very good information to know..
Yeah, the billet part is about $50 and the overnight shipping is $40... And I used to live about 5 miles away from where the company is located in West Palm, FL. I think Dodge made it hot pink just to screw with us too.
I have to wonder if a shifter lock is really needed at all. If I have this thing fail on my car, It most likely won't be locked EVER again.
I'm just not putting mine in park anymore.. nothing a brick behind the tire or my parking break wont fix..lol

I hate hearing about problems like this because I just know it's a matter of time before my number is up. Why in the world has Chrysler not yet addressed this problem by changing the design of that pink part? Is this an issue with Mercedes cars that use the same tranny?
Its not that big of a deal gang, dont get bent out of shape. like steve said you can push the button and get out of your jam. If you dont want to do that just reach down and pull the cable off the shifter and pull it. It's not but a 2 min process in either method. ya, its a cheap part but people would have bitched if chrysler would have bought a better one and then made the price on the invoice higher on the car. Crown vics have shifter issues to, police chargers with a different set up (column shift) have the same problem, navigators, expeditions, yukons, envoys, countours, escorts,caravans and on and on. Lots of manufactures use the same companies to make this stuff. The shifter in our car is probably the same company thats in 80% of the other vehicles out there. Manufactures just buy from the cheapest source who will offer a 3 year minimum warranty.
chrysler knows that theres a problem and states in the owners manual how to over ride the lock out if this happens to you. #1 remove the junk pocket to the right of the shifter by poping it up and out #2 to the right of the shifter/left side of pocket opening there is a little square opening and in there is a little pink tap which is the swing point of the shifter lock out A.K.A pice of chit pink plastic part. #3 with a finger push it inward and with the other hand pull shifter out of park. pic is what the pink tap is that your are pushing on. you can never be stuck untill you fix it with BT's part

Here's a very important question. If this spring clip breaks does the override still work?? fastmopar
Since I'm a cheap ass...... I took my spare shifter apart and pulled the "Pink Thingy" out. Absolutely correct! The spring hook is junk. Sssooo... I took a piece of thin steel approx 1/4" wide. Drilled a small hole to line up with the spring hook opening, then two mounting holes in the "Pink Thingy", one on top and one on the side away from the hook. I bent the metal piece 90 degrees to fit the "pink" and drilled holes to match the mounting holes. Screwed the metal piece on checked for interference. Everything looks good and the spring now hooks through a hole in metal rather than a plastic hook. I know cheap ass.....I can't afford $50 for billet aluminum. Think I'll replace the one in the car with my metal piece before I get stranded. fastmopar
Bringing up an old thread. I own a 06 Pacifica and this morning wouldn't shift out of park, and this seems to be the issue here for me as well. I just want to know if this piece is universal with chrysler cars. It looks the same as what I pulled out and that little hook is broken as well. Can anyone confirm the billet part is universal?

The Dodge Journey is a great vehicle that can last many miles with no issue. However, like any vehicle, it can face issues and malfunctions from time to time. One such problem that can occur in the Journey is the tendency to not shift gears properly. When this happens, the first thing you should do is check the transmission fluid.
