Dodge Journey Stuck in Park: Causes & How to Fix

If your Dodge Journey is stuck in Park, the odds are that you’re not stranded.  We’ve made this guide to quickly help you get back on the road if your vehicle doesn’t shift into gear. 

Most vehicles with an automatic transmission have a linkage that connects the gear selector to the transmission. Recently, more vehicles have been using push buttons and actuators to select a gear.

This article starts with things that are easy and quick to remedy (allowing you to get moving again) and then moves on to the less likely problems.

The two most common reasons a vehicle won’t shift into gear are a shift interlock failure or gravity pulling on the parking pawl.

Vehicle Won’t Shift Into Gear Diagnostic Tree

• Are you currently parking on an incline?  Is the parking brake on?  If not, the vehicle’s weight is on the parking gear.  You’ll have to rock your Journey to get it moving.  Jump down to section 1 .
• Do the brake lights come on when pushing the brake pedal?  If they don’t, the brake switch is causing your Journey to stay stuck in Park.   The shifter interlock on modern cars and trucks keeps the transmission from accidentally going into gear when your foot is off the brake.  Jump to section 2 .
• Did the brake lights come on?  Not parked on a hill?  Take a look at the shift lock; that’s section 3 .
• Was it recently freezing outside?  The weather may have caused the shift linkage to freeze.  It can also rust over time.  Start with section 4 .

Dodge Journey Stuck in Park Causes

Here are the likely reasons your Dodge Journey’s shifter isn’t moving out of Park.

1. Parked on a Hill

Relieving the pressure caused by gravity will get your vehicle out of Park.

Is your Journey parked on a hill?  If so, the force of gravity is putting extra pressure on the transmission’s parking pawl (the device inside the transmission that locks it up when in Park). 

A jammed parking pawl is common when you don’t use the parking brake and will put all of the vehicle’s pressure on the parking pawl.  It can happen to any vehicle, at any age or mileage.  

Getting your Journey out of Park when this happens takes a little effort.  You’ll need to rock your truck, which can be dangerous.  The best way to rock your vehicle is from the driver’s seat.  Proceed at your own risk.

What you’re going to need to do is safely follow the procedure below:

• Turn your Journey’s engine on.
• Then, rock the vehicle with your foot off the brake .
• Press the brake down when you have rocked uphill.  You want to “catch” it with the brake at the right time.  This will take pressure off of the parking lock.
• Apply light pressure to the shifter when doing this.  You don’t want to break the shift linkage.

Hopefully, that got your Journey into gear.  In the future, using the parking brake should keep this from happening again.

If you do rock it, try and catch your Journey as it bounces up.  When it’s about to rock forward again, hit the brakes and try to get it out of Park.

2. Brake Pedal Switch

Your Dodge Journey won’t shift into gear if it doesn’t detect the brake pedal is being pressed.  Vehicles are designed so you don’t bump the shifter into gear when rooting around the cabin.

Have a friend check to see if your Journey’s brake lights are coming on when you hit the pedal. If you don’t have anyone to help, just use your phone’s camera to take a video. If the brake lights don’t light up, replacing the switch should get you back on the road.

3. Shift Interlock Failure

The shift lock solenoid is the mechanism that keeps your Dodge Journey from shifting out of Park without your foot on the brake.  The good news is that most shift locks have an override button.  

You will need to find it for your particular model year of Journey (if applicable).  Grab the owner’s manual and look up how to access it.  Sometimes there’ll be an override button; other times it’ll be hiding under the shift boot.

Finding it is usually pretty easy.  Just look at your shifter.  There’ll be a little plastic cover. Pop it off and override the shifter lock solenoid.  This can get you back on the road in a hurry and will save you from being stranded.

Here’s a video showing you where to find them on most vehicles. 

4. Bad Shift Linkage

The shift linkage on your Journey will usually provide a lifetime of dependable service.  But they can go bad.

If you are positive that the gear shifter is not stuck in Park (see directly above), then it’s likely that the shift linkage may be bad.  Something caused it to bend, or it’s starting to come loose. 

If it’s loose, the geometry won’t be right anymore, and it may keep your Journey stuck in Park.

Conclusion:  Journey Stuck in Park

There aren’t a lot of issues that would cause your Dodge Journey to be stuck in Park. The shift linkage is usually the last place you’d want to start looking.

Put in neutral without starting ?

• Add to quote

Is there some way to put the car in neutral without starting it?  

Probably. What car?  

2018 Charger Scat Pack. You can't just turn an ignition key to the Run position & move the gear selector to Neutral.  

I couldnt figure it out a couple weeks ago when I ran out of gas near a busy intersection (never happen again that's for sure). There should be a way though. Would've helped me as my car was near a parking lot and could've been backed into it if I could've gotten it to neutral. Instead I had to sit and wait with a cop behind me until we got help for the gas. Sent from my SM-N960U1 using Tapatalk  

That sounds like a safety issue, sitting stalled in traffic. Guess I'm old, but I never had a problem using a key.You just turned the key, took the car out of gear, & pushed it where needed. There is way to take the car out of park shown in the User Guide on page 336 of the online version, but it's not as easy as if the car used a key. Looks like Slidd posted the same thing while a was typing.

Easily? No. The A8 shifter is all electronic and no way to get to neutral using the shifter with the engine off. But there is a way to do it in an emergency when it is outlined in your Owners Manual. Basically next to the shifter you pry up the coin holder and you will see the emergency neutral strap, move locking tab to the right to unlock then pull up on the strap and the trans will go to neutral. Caution: If you just pull up without unlocking it you can bend the tab and the most important thing is once you pull the strap, the car will roll so make sure your parking brake is set before doing this! Again, this system is designed for an emergency like getting pushed or towed and is not designed to be used every day. Check your manual under What to do in case of Emergency for more info.

Does getting the trans into neutral somehow magically unlock the steering wheel so you push the car off the street & steer it into a parking lot?  

You have a locking steering wheel? Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk  

I just presumed it did like my old cars had since this was considered part of the anti-theft system. It never occurred to me they would eliminate a security item. I never really tried to turn the wheel with the engine off. Guess I should go give it a try.  

There is a little lever next to the shifter in under the little tray. If you flip the lever with a screwdriver and move the stick it will pop into neutral no problem

Neutral without starting car?

• Add to quote

Any way to put the car in neutral withour starting the engine? Usual keyed ingnitions let you put the car in "run" but not "start" and then you can shift into neutral. For instance, say I want to push the doggone thing a few inches in the garage while working on it without starting it... Any of my other cars, it's a breeze.  

Short answer, no. Long answer, there is a "manual park release" in the center console. Instructions on how to use it are in the owners manual. Page 556 in mine, "what to do in emergencies" section. Not really practical unless you need to move it or tow it and the engine won't start.  

Yeah. I was hoping there was a some other trick someone had found. Like you said, that emergency release is really not practical.  

I was thinking I could just shut it off in neutral, set the parking brake, then release the brake if I needed to move it a little. Nope, can't turn it off unless it's in park, tried holding the button, pushing it a bunch of times quickly, nothing.  

Nope, I think if you shut it off in neutral in 5 seconds it goes to park anyway. My Jag rotary shifter does this also.  

You can't even shut it off in neutral, I tried. So with your Jag what if you have a problem on the highway, say accelerator sticks or something, so you shift to neutral and shut it off, in 5 seconds it will put it into park even if you're still moving at potentially a high rate of speed?  

cant you just simply not put your foot on the brake and double push the start/stop button until the car is in the on position but not running then put foot on brake and shift to neutral?  

Nope.  

wow you guys are right i tried to shift into neutral with car not running today and couldnt do it, for the life of me i do not understand why they would design it this way.  

I know I'm digging here. But any updates on this. I went to move my 18 out of garage yesterday. Just needed to roll a few feet. Couldn't shift out of park without starting. This along with the fact it won't roll in neutral or drive with the damn door open is really really aggravating.

2014 Dodge Journey Review

See Edmunds pricing data

Has Your Car's Value Changed?

Used car values are constantly changing. Edmunds lets you track your vehicle's value over time so you can decide when to sell or trade in.

Edmunds' Expert Review

• Seating for up to seven
• available built-in booster seats
• useful interior storage solutions
• smart touchscreen interface.
• Weak acceleration on four-cylinder version
• below-average fuel economy for the class.

The 2014 Dodge Journey receives minor trim level updates but is otherwise unchanged.

Edmunds says

An available V6 engine and a third-row seat make the 2014 Dodge Journey a decent pick for families on a budget, but overall it falls short of newer crossovers with more powerful four-cylinder engines and better fuel mileage ratings.

Cost to Drive Cost to drive estimates for the 2014 Dodge Journey SE 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 4A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.55 per gallon for regular unleaded in North Dakota.

Vehicle overview.

The 2014 Dodge Journey is a roomy, versatile crossover SUV that straddles the divide between compact and midsize utility vehicles. It's one of the few remaining crossovers in its price range that offers both an available V6 engine and a third-row seat. In addition, its interior is pleasant, well-trimmed and comfortable. However, in a segment full of strong competitors, the Journey comes up short in a couple of critical areas.

A lackluster four-cylinder engine is by far the weakest link on the 2014 Dodge Journey. Not only is acceleration sluggish on this version but fuel economy is well below average, mainly due to Dodge's continued use of an outdated four-speed automatic transmission. If you're going to buy a Dodge Journey, it's worth springing for the optional 3.6-liter V6 -- something you'll have to do anyway if you want all-wheel drive, which isn't offered with the four-cylinder. The six-cylinder is potent and smooth, and paired with a more modern six-speed automatic transmission. Of course, equipping your Journey with the V6 also raises the price by several thousand dollars.

If you can get past those issues, the 2014 Dodge Journey can be more useful for families than some other compact SUVs. It has an optional third row of seating appropriately sized for two small children, and you can get built-in booster seats in the second row. There are useful storage areas, too. You can store snacks and cold drinks in bins built into the floor of the second-row seating area, and a compartment under the front passenger seat is handy for stashing valuables.

These conveniences are certainly nice to have, but consumers have plenty of choices for a compact or midsize utility vehicle. The popular 2014 Honda CR-V is one of our favorites and an excellent pick if you want a small crossover with a refined, fuel-efficient four-cylinder engine and don't need a third row of seating. Rivals like the Mazda CX-5 and Ford Escape feel sportier from behind the wheel and also offer superior fuel economy.

Among the seven-passenger vehicles in this price range, the newer 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe and 2014 Kia Sorento stand out for their smooth V6 engines, superior mpg ratings and slightly larger interiors. Base versions of the Kia are comparable in price to the Journey, but higher-line versions of the Sorento and Santa Fe cost significantly more. If you're on a tight budget but still need three rows of seating, the Mazda 5 minivan is a good alternative to the four-cylinder Journey.

Based on the strength of the competition, the 2014 Dodge Journey is not among our top picks for a seven-passenger crossover. However, if you run across a good deal on a V6 model, it's still worth a test-drive.

Performance & mpg

The 2014 Dodge Journey AVP, SE and SXT are powered by a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 173 horsepower and 166 pound-feet of torque. A four-speed automatic transmission is standard, and you can only get front-wheel drive with this engine. Fuel economy ratings are 21 mpg combined (19 city/26 highway) – well below average for a four-cylinder crossover.

Optional on the SXT and standard on the Limited and R/T is a 3.6-liter V6. It's good for 283 hp and 260 lb-ft and is matched to a six-speed automatic. Front-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive is optional. We recorded a 7.8-second 0-60-mph time in a front-drive, V6-equipped Journey, which is about average for a V6 crossover in this price range. Fuel economy stands at 19 mpg combined (17 mpg city/25 mpg highway) with front-wheel drive and 19 mpg combined (16/24) with all-wheel drive; both are below average for a V6-powered crossover in this price range.

Every 2014 Dodge Journey comes standard with antilock disc brakes, traction and stability control, active front head restraints, front side airbags, side curtain airbags and a driver knee airbag. Integrated second-row child booster seats and rear parking sensors are optional on every Journey. A rearview camera is available as an option on the SXT, Limited and R/T.

In Edmunds brake testing, a Journey V6 FWD came to a stop from 60 mph in 124 feet, an average performance for this class.

In government crash tests, the Journey received four out of five stars for overall crash protection, with four stars awarded for frontal-impact protection and five stars for side-impact protection. In crash testing by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the Journey received the top score of "Good" in the moderate-overlap frontal-offset, side-impact and roof-strength tests.

The 2014 Dodge Journey has different personalities depending on which engine you choose. The four-cylinder engine is noisy and really doesn't have enough power to get this heavy crossover moving. The outdated four-speed automatic transmission that comes with this engine does the Journey no favors in the fuel economy department, either.

Accordingly, we'd avoid the four-cylinder entirely and step up to the 3.6-liter V6, which feels potent in any situation. Unfortunately, fuel economy is still below average, and the six-speed automatic transmission can be slow to respond when a downshift is needed.

Around town, the Journey provides a smooth ride. However, the steering is on the slow side, and you might find yourself having to make more hand movements than you would otherwise prefer. When driven harder through turns, the Journey's body leans noticeably. Overall, the Journey just doesn't present much in the way of confidence-inspiring handling.

Inside, the Dodge Journey's materials are high in quality, the design is clean and modern and the available technology is pretty easy to use. We especially like the 8.4-inch touchscreen interface offered in all models except the SE. It's intuitive to use and is available with or without navigation.

Other strengths for the Journey include clever storage bins built into the floor, and options such as a fold-flat front passenger seat and integrated child booster seats for the second row that make life easier for families. Also helping that cause is the Journey's available third-row seat, which is bundled with a separate rear air-conditioner. This seat is far from adult-friendly, but if you need to take a couple extra kids to a T-ball game, it's handy.

The Dodge offers a total cargo capacity of 67.6 cubic feet with all its rear seats folded. That's a few cubes smaller than competitors likes the Sorento and CR-V, but more space than the Chevy Equinox.
