Dodge Journey Transmission Slipping: Causes + How to Fix

2015 dodge journey transmission issues

Are you worried about your Dodge Journey’s transmission slipping? Transmission slipping can be a serious problem, potentially leaving your Journey inoperable if not addressed promptly . It’s crucial to understand what’s causing this issue and how to diagnose and fix it before it escalates into lasting damage.

Various factors can contribute to your vehicle’s transmission slipping, including lack of regular maintenance, a faulty transmission control module, a worn-out clutch or pressure plate, and low fluid level.

Dodge Journey Transmission Slipping

Key Takeaways

  • Check your Journey’s transmission fluid immediately
  • Automatic transmission slipping is a common concern, and will occur in every transmission if you put enough miles on it.
  • Causes of transmission slipping can stem from improper maintenance, a faulty transmission control module, or worn-out clutches
  • Diagnosing and fixing transmission slipping early on is crucial to prevent lasting damage to your Journey

Understanding Transmission Slipping

2015 dodge journey transmission issues

Transmission slipping is a serious issue that requires prompt attention. If left unchecked, the problem may escalate, causing lasting damage to your Dodge Journey. Let’s dive into the signs and symptoms to help you identify if your vehicle’s transmission is slipping.

Signs and Symptoms

  • Delayed engagement:  One of the most common symptoms of transmission slipping is delayed engagement. When you shift from park to drive, if there’s a noticeable delay before your vehicle starts moving, this could be an indication of transmission slipping. Keep an eye out for any unexplained pauses during gear transitions.
  • Higher RPMs without acceleration:  If you notice that your Journey’s RPM increases significantly without a corresponding increase in speed, there’s a chance your transmission is slipping. Watch out for a disconnection between the engine’s performance and your vehicle’s actual speed.
  • Unusual noises:  Whenever you hear unusual noises from your Journey, it’s essential to pay attention. Sounds like whining or humming can indicate transmission problems, especially if they’re accompanied by other performance issues like slipping gears or delayed engagement.
  • Burning odor:  A burnt smell coming from your vehicle could signify transmission trouble, often caused by overheating or low transmission fluid levels. If you detect such an odor, it’s vital to have it checked by a professional as soon as possible.

Causes of Transmission Slipping in the Dodge Journey

Low transmission fluid.

2015 dodge journey transmission issues

One common reason for your Dodge Journey’s transmission to slip is due to low automatic transmission fluid . It’s best to start your diagnosis with the ATF. Transmission fluid is essential in lubricating the transmission parts and maintaining the proper pressure for smooth gear engagement.

If your fluid levels are too low, the pressure required to engage gears correctly decreases, resulting in slipping . To avoid this, make sure to regularly check your Journey’s transmission fluid and add more if necessary. A little attention now can save you a whole lot of trouble later.

Worn Clutches

Another culprit for transmission slipping in your Dodge Journey could be worn clutches. Over time, everyday wear and tear can cause the clutch plates to lose their grip, making it difficult for them to hold the gears properly.

Faulty Solenoids

Faulty solenoids may also be the reason why your Journey’s transmission is slipping. Solenoids are responsible for controlling the flow of transmission fluid inside the valve body, and if they malfunction, the fluid flow may be disrupted, which interferes with gear engagement.

However, solenoids are little tricksters, so they might make your transmission slip even when there’s no major issue with other parts. When in doubt, it’s always a good idea to consult a trusted mechanic who can diagnose and fix solenoid-related issues to keep your Journey running in tip-top shape.

How to Diagnose and Fix Transmission Slipping

Checking transmission fluid.

Transmission fluid Color

First things first, let’s check your Dodge Journey’s transmission fluid. Low or no transmission fluid is one of the most common reasons for a slipping transmission. Fear not, this is an easy fix. To check the fluid level, follow these steps:

  • Park your Journey on a level surface and apply the parking brake.
  • Start the engine and allow it to reach operating temperature.
  • Shift the transmission through all the gears, then back to Park or Neutral.
  • Locate the transmission dipstick – it might be hiding near the firewall.
  • Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, and reinsert it fully.
  • Pull it out again and check the fluid level. It should be within the marked range.

Replacing Worn Components

So the fluid level is all good, but your transmission is still slipping? It’s time to inspect and replace any worn components causing this pesky problem.

This is best left to a professional. Automatic transmissions are more complicated than an engine. Common culprits include:

  • Transmission bands : In automatic Journeys, bands apply pressure to the clutches and gears, helping them engage correctly. Worn bands can cause slipping and need to be adjusted or replaced by a skilled mechanic.
  • Torque converter : This bad boy transfers the engine’s power to the transmission. A faulty torque converter can cause slipping and poor performance. Get your mechanic to check the torque converter and replace it if necessary.

After addressing the worn components, your Journey should shift like a dream. If, however, the slipping persists, don’t panic. Visit a trusted mechanic for a more thorough diagnosis and repair. Remember, knowledge is power – and in this case, a smooth-shifting Journey!

Preventing Dodge Journey Transmission Slipping

Regular Maintenance

To prevent transmission slipping in your Dodge Journey, it’s essential to practice regular maintenance. This includes:

  • Checking the transmission fluid : Make it a habit to check your transmission fluid levels regularly, as low fluid levels can lead to slipping. Ensure that the fluid is bright red and does not have a burnt odor. If it appears dark or smells burnt, have it replaced.
  • Fluid change : Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for transmission fluid change intervals, typically every 30,000-60,000 miles. This helps keep the fluid clean and free of debris, reducing the chances of slipping and other issues.
  • Transmission inspections : Schedule regular transmission inspections with a professional mechanic who can diagnose any potential problems and provide necessary repairs.

Driving Habits

In addition to proper maintenance, adjusting your driving habits can also prevent transmission slipping and prolong the life of your Dodge Journey’s transmission. Keep the following tips in mind:

  • Avoid rapid acceleration : Gently accelerate from a stop and avoid any sudden bursts of speed, as this can put unnecessary stress on your transmission.
  • Shift smoothly : When shifting between gears, whether it’s an automatic or manual transmission, do so smoothly and avoid abruptly changing gears when possible. Just try to avoid driving it yourself or in “ sport mode ” if your Journey has that option.
  • Limit towing : If you tow heavy loads with your Journey, be aware of the strain it places on your transmission. Avoid towing consistently and ensure you are following proper towing guidelines.

By maintaining your Dodge Journey’s transmission through regular checkups, fluid changes, and mindful driving habits, you can significantly reduce the chances of experiencing transmission slipping. Remember, taking care of your vehicle will keep it running smoothly for the long haul.

In dealing with Dodge Journey transmission slipping, it’s essential to first look at the most common causes. For instance, low or no transmission fluid is often a leading cause of transmission slipping.

Make it a habit to routinely check your transmission fluid levels to ensure smooth operation and avoid potential issues down the road.

If you’re experiencing hard shifting, it’s essential to tackle the issue head-on, as prolonged driving with a problematic transmission can lead to more significant and potentially expensive problems. Eventually, your Journey may not shift gears at all .

Don’t hesitate to consult with a trusted dealership or mechanic for proper diagnosis and repair.

Now that you’re equipped with the knowledge of what causes transmission slipping and how to address it, you can feel more confident and informed in handling any transmission-related issues that may arise in your Dodge Journey.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are common causes of journey transmission slipping.

Low or no transmission fluid is one of the most common reasons for a transmission slipping in your Dodge Journey. Transmission fluid lasts much longer than oil, so it’s easy to overlook. However, when it gets critically low, the transmission will begin slipping as it’s no longer able to transfer the engine’s power to the rear wheels.

Another reason for slipping might be that your vehicle has experienced faulty mechanical components within the transmission. It’s also possible that there are issues with the transmission control module, which can impair the proper gear selection.

How can I fix transmission slipping in my Dodge Journey?

The first thing you should do when experiencing transmission slipping is to check your fluid levels. To do this, locate the transmission dipstick, pull it out, wipe it clean, reinsert it, and then pull it out again to examine the fluid level. If it’s low, add the appropriate transmission fluid as specified by your owner’s manual.

If transmission fluid levels are within the proper range and slipping persists, it’s essential to visit a professional mechanic for a thorough diagnosis. They might need to replace faulty components within the transmission or check the transmission control module for any issues. Remember that preventative maintenance and addressing issues promptly can save you from costly repairs and extend the life of your Journey.

Hi all,1st post.I've had this journey for 2 years and this awd seems to only work when it feels like it.It was purchased as a leftover with 118 miles. 2015 SXT awd hot v6 5 passenger 19" rim option.I price shopped (22,600 delivered to me) and the dealer is nothing to write home about so i have just lived with annoyances.Right front end clunk and rattle worse when cold.Brake rotors i had turned at 300 miles cuz they were all rust,and this mystery awd.To be fair there is was no manual with the car(or floor mates) and I'm not downloading 500 pages of a pdf telling me how to sync a phone to the radio that i don't have, so maybe I'm not turning it on?,dunno.I would like to get on the technical side of this and understand what sensors and locations actually make it work.

We are in general happy with the car,plenty of zip,silky smooth for a 6,doesn't use a drop of oil,and with my bad back  i find the seating and entry/ exit excellent.The bad kumho tires mystery cupping in the center,and NO HEAT in the back of the vehicle,which is nuts since even my beater 97 neon has a heat duct running thru the center console,someone please slap the engineer who came up with that one.

My ride had the front end clunk - both sides - and it got bad enough that it would wander all over the road on scarified surfaces.  They took three shots, but the last was the one that fixed it. The solution was apparently to tighten p links on both sides - not sure what the heck a 'link' is that is adjustable - I sprung for a wheel alignment after the fact. If your dealer wants to know WHAT they did I can PM you the dealer info and the work order under which it was repaired - your dealer can call mine and perhaps you can retire that item from your list of complaints.

Sorry to hear about your issues! I had the front end clunk too, and it seems to vary from person to person what item fixed the noise. For me it was the lower control arms, had that done a few months ago and the noise didn't come back. All the dealers can be pretty lazy/reluctant to listen so don't let them just lube everything up and send you on your way.

That is pretty much how the AWD system in the journeys works. It isn’t full-time AWD. Your basically running a FWD, but when the vehicle detects loss of traction, it then will engage AWD and strategically deliver power to the rear tires as well.

As stated above, thats how the AWD system works.  With that said, I find it works very well and I've had zero issues and never felt anything less than well planted to the road.  The other issues your complaining about are issues that can and should be fixed.  To allow the dealership to just not fix it is on you.  Either push harder or take your concerns to another dealership.  And there is an app for your phone that contains the owners manual for your car.  It actually works pretty nice allowing you to search for what info your looking for.  And if that isn't good enough, why not buy one off Ebay or amazon for cheap.

As everyone mentioned that is how the AWD system works... Unfortunately they also don't have a dash light or notification that the AWD is active so that probably is why you think it only works sometimes, but it is working. They do have a light that comes on when the AWD system isn't functioning so you are good to go as long as that light isn't on. 

As for the rear heat, that only comes as a package with the third row configuration. Something I always like to do when I'm car shopping is go to the manufacturers website and see which packages have certain features that I want/need. Since it was a leftover though you may not have been able to find one with a third row for that good of a price. You definitely got a good deal though, I'd personally stick it out as long as you can. It should last a while and you definitely have the preferable features (V6, 6 speed, AWD). 

on the no heat to the rear that could be a problem and i do agree only i live in al and no kids so not much of a problem but i do miss the rear air, as on 5 passenger journey there is no rear air.... i had a 2011 7 passenger with the rear air, didnt even think that would be a problem when i traded in on my 2014 crossroad, hindsight can be a bitch sometime, i sure wouldn't recommend the 5 passenger out any one out west or any further south than i am....

I rented an Escape and it had a display that shows where the power Is going on the AWD

Love all of the responses to his comments. I am curious if that was his first AND last post?

It seems like living with these 'issues' was unnecessary if he bought it with low miles and a factory warranty covering  these things.

But the OP isn't asking about a Ford Escape, haha. We don't get that feature in our Dodge Journeys.

Sorry not my last post,I will make a appointment and see what they have to say,there is also a recall letter that keeps showing up so I guess it's time.I am very familiar with awd,my wife has a 2012 forester 85k on it, which works well and never has not worked.I realize it's not 4wd,i have those too and have had dodge my hole life,79 1/2 ramrod package,86 1/2 le,98 3/4 12v quad ( the holy grail),still own gave it to my son,and i picked up a 2 year old new 2015 2500 slt 6.4 hemi last year. As you can see I'm a dodge boy,got that from dad 65 coronet 500 426 wedge,68 coronet r/t 440,seen that roll past 140 in the back seat.Anyways i keep my vehicles a long time and is why I want to understand the awd system.I believe the problem will be what sensor tells it to work.I tried it in the driveway and it didn't work yesterday,so i backed up and goosed it and it still didn't work but put it in drive again and it kicked in?,as i said it has a mind of it's own and doesn't build any confidence backing into a turn around that has snow or ice and wonder if it's going to work or not,this is the targeted area it was designed to work for correct?.

The difference between the Journeys system  and the Subaru is pretty substantial. The Subaru is lighter, and uses what they call "symmetrical AWD", this is where about 20% of the power is sent to the rear wheels at all time. The Journey however is MUCH heavier, and relies solely on the front wheels until it detects slippage via the same sensor s that let the speedometer know how fast you are going. From my experience (which is usually limited to up to 5 inches of snow), the DJ works great, but is definitely not meant to be a true snow mobile. If I'm not mistaken the DJ can only send up to 40% of it's power to the rear wheels, but through the use of sensors  it detects which wheel s should get the power and have traction. All of this may sound silly and slow, but in reality it works in about 1/40th of a second. So to answer your question, if the speedometer is working, and there are no light s on the dash then the AWD system  is in fact working. It is a very domestic vehicle, not made for heavy snow or off road use, so keep that in mind when using it in bad conditions. You should also consider snow/winter tires... If you are still using stock tires, keep in mind they are garbage in winter driving. 

Sorry, I realize now that you said you know how AWD works, but it is important to know how different brands design their AWD systems to work. Subaru is popular for their rally vehicles and have developed a pretty "hardcore" AWD system , but the Journey (which is mostly used to shuttle families around) AWD is made for much more docile conditions. Hope this helps explain!

Journey repair round 1

Recall wire in steering   wheel   done  n/c

Recall abs wrap with heat tape v6 's only done n/c

check clunking in front end found 1 strut nut lil loose tightened  said to be fixed

check awd no codes no leaking fluid,ran car on lift said to be fine.

picked up car front end still clunks,turned into driveway awd not working.

aahhh why i dont want to deal with this and why i haven't played the game with dodge dealer,always nice to get a good one and not have to deal with this.

If I have time tomorrow i will go back and try to get someone out for a drive.

I've read thru everyones comments which i respect and thank you but i think you all  are misunderstanding me when i say it works when it feels like it.I understand it is not on all the time.What I am saying is it will work in the same situation one day and not the next,hence when IT feels like it.

This is BS, I purchased this 2015 this past summer with 97,000 miles on it. I got what I thought was an excellent bargain because the vehicle appraised at $13,000. I was driving and out of no where the transmission began slipping. Hesitating uphill, kicking in downhill. In about a 2 mile stretch, the car would not move. I coasted into a transmission shop where they checked the car out and determined that it needed a new transmission. I immediately went home, jumped into my 2003 HONDA with 300,000+ miles and drove off. DODGE VEHICLES ARE CRAP!!!!

Why is Your 2015 Journey’s Transmission So Important?

The transmission delivers power from the motor to your wheels so that you can drive at your desired speed. Because of the transmission’s responsibility to translate the right dose of power into the right amount of speed, a tiny transmission issue can take a major toll on your car’s performance.

Questions About 2015 Dodge Journey’s Transmission

  • What happens when you "ride" your Dodge's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Dodge tow?   Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Journey’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • How often does my Journey transmission fluid need to be checked? Maintaining your Dodge Journey transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Dodge. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Dodge Journey? Yes, your Dodge Journey can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Journey ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.
  • Who can fix my   Dodge Journey transmission leak? If you have a problem with your transmission system, don’t hesitate to visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care. Our expert technicians can diagnose and repair Journey transmission leaks and other issues. Schedule an appointment  today!
  • Can I drive my Dodge Journey with a transmission fluid leak? Driving your Journey with a transmission fluid leak is highly discouraged. Transmission fluid is vital to the smooth operation of your transmission system, and a leak can put the entire system at risk. A transmission fluid leak may lead to decreased performance, overheating, and possibly even transmission failure.

How we rated the best and worst Dodge Journey years

During our evaluation of the Dodge Journey as a model, we’ve gone through the reports on various model years based on several sources. First, we relied on trustworthy organizations like the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and we went through their records including details on recalls and common driver complaints.

After that, we’ve done some more digging on Dodge Journey recalls through reliable platforms like Cars.com, as well as sources of authority like Edmunds and Kelly Blue Book. As mentioned, we wanted to give you honest Dodge Journey reviews and we could only do that by citing some forums with real experiences of previous drivers and Journey owners.

Most common Dodge Journey problems

The Dodge Journey might be a safe and reliable vehicle. However, it is not exempt from faults and flaws. Among the Dodge Journey most common problems you could run upon are brake problems, defective remote keyless entry systems, interior water leaks, or even damaged head gaskets, so we’ll discuss each of those in more detail.

1. Overheating engine

Engine issues are a common issue in faulty Dodge Journey model years. For the Dodge Journey, these problems happened in the 2009-2016 model years, causing overheating once they hit the 78,000-mile mark. This problem is likely caused by coolant flow challenges due to debris locking the cylinder head coolant port at its primary thermostat housing.

At first, the vehicle’s temperature light may turn on, but this worsens over time. Some Journey owners complained that their vehicles experienced engine power loss , leading to overheating. The vehicle may also develop coolant leaks, which become excessive for its overflow reservoir, causing coolant fluid to spill over.

These engine problems are usually expensive and dangerous, depending on where they happen. For a driver, you don’t want to encounter engine issues every day.

2. Brake problems

Brake issues were the most common troubles that plagued the Dodge Journey, especially its 2009-2010 model years. The brakes on these models wear out prematurely , which happens to relatively new Journey vehicles at about 30,000 miles. Some drivers mentioned that this issue has become severe, requiring them to replace their brakes every three months.

The abovementioned issues are among the few brake-related problems you could face if you purchase a problematic Dodge Journey model year. These issues are inconvenient and dangerous, especially for driving at high speeds. You want to avoid a vehicle that struggles with maintaining proper brakes. 

3. Defective remote keyless entry system

The Dodge Journey has many cool features, and the remote keyless system is supposed to be one of them. Instead, the keyless system is another Dodge Journey feature that has become problematic for drivers.

Many frustrated owners complain that the system doesn’t work correctly as it gives off either wrong key readings or the annoying “key not detected” message. The system sometimes interferes with the key fob, preventing drivers from locking or unlocking the doors. To fix this issue, owners may need to do a software update.

4. Interior water leaks

Some owners of the 2009-2018 Dodge Journey models have expressed discomfort caused by dampness inside the cabin. The cabin appears vulnerable to water leaks , typically at a low mileage of about 50,000 to 60,000 miles. According to complaints from owners, the driver’s seat floor of the Dodge Journey may become wet when they travel in the rain.

Other drivers complained that they noticed leaks near the side of the Journey, causing wet floors and carpets. Additionally, some drivers reported leaks near windows, headliners, and vents, and you may need a professional to fix the leaks and resolve the issue.

5. Damaged head gasket

This is another notorious Dodge Journey issue among vehicle owners. Drivers note that this problem commonly happens at about 100,000 miles. It might begin with performance issues and graduate to engine failure over time. This may be due to cracked or damaged head gaskets.

Some drivers have reported having leaky or blown head gaskets , causing severe damage to the engine. Experts recommend a compression test to verify if your Journey has faulty head gaskets. If they are defective, you may replace them yourself if you are a DIYer or have a professional do the job.

Worst Dodge Journey years to avoid

The Dodge Journey has had several great models; however, there are also some model years you should avoid if you intend to purchase a Dodge Journey. Below is a list of Journey model years to avoid:

Naturally, our team will get you through all these model years and their issues so you can have an easier time picking the most reliable Journey model.

First-generation Journey (2009-2012 model years)

The 2009 Dodge Journey was the first model of this generation, and it was associated with numerous problems and complaints from drivers. Its prevalent issue was with the brakes, and many drivers complained of frequent brake replacements within a short timeframe. These drivers point out that the vehicle is too heavy for the brake pads and rotors.

Other drivers reported that regardless of how gentle you are with the vehicle, it doesn’t stop the brakes from wearing out at 30,000 miles or earlier. Additionally, the braking power isn’t sufficient for the size of the vehicle and can lead to disastrous accidents in the worst cases.

Another issue of the 2009 model year was with its transmission, which caused rough gear shifting . Some drivers complained that shifting the vehicle out of the first gear was difficult, especially during cold weather. Also, several drivers report that their transmission fails at around 60,000 miles, causing them to abandon the vehicle.

The 2009 and 2010 models were also plagued by electrical faults that prevented the engine from turning over, which may be caused by the neutral safety switch losing communication with the shifter. Most drivers had to put their vehicles in neutral to get the engine to start up. Some drivers also complained that they experience these issues on other components like the horn, windows, radios, etc.

2011 Dodge model year also had issues with the brakes, but unlike the 2009-2010 models, which had brakes that required premature replacements , the 2011 model had brakes that made grinding and squealing sounds. In addition to the noises, drivers complain that their 2011 Journey shakes the steering wheel while braking.

Best Dodge Journey years

The Dodge Journey has several years, which drivers have confirmed to be reliable while offering remarkable performance. So, are you still wondering what are the best Dodge Journey years to buy? The best Dodge Journey years are 2005, 2017, and 2020. Still, there’s a full list of best-rated models:

These Dodge Journey models are some of the best years to date and provide excellent performance. If you are searching for the best Journey years to buy, these years are great choices, and they would give little to no problems without any cause for expensive repairs.

2005 Dodge Journey

Based on all the available NHTSA records and reliability reports, the 2005 Dodge Journey is the best model to date. It only received a few complaints including some engine cooling difficulties, but none of those reports were sufficient to place the model on a list of problematic years.

With a clean reliability record , the model scored a decent overall rating of 4 out of 5 based on reliable automotive agencies.

2017 Dodge Journey

As for the later model years, the 2017 Dodge Journey made it to the list as one of the most reliable options. It received model-specific concerns with some of the main complaints being related to A/C heater faults and electrical malfunctions.

2020 Dodge Journey

Finally, we can’t leave out the 2020 Journey model which also proved to be pretty reliable with just under 10 reliability concerns. Among those, drivers have mostly reported problems with seat belts and brakes, while the model received an overall rating of 4.2 out of 5 on Cars.com and similar sources.

Is the Dodge Journey worth buying?

The Dodge Journey is an excellent SUV with remarkable performance. However, it doesn’t have a reasonable edge over its rivals, as consumers complain that the vehicle is made from cheap interior materials and lacks a host of safety features that can be found in most competitors.

If you’re eyeing versatile SUVs check out Ford Explorer Sport Trac years to avoid , Nissan Xterra years to avoid , or Mitsubishi Outlander years to avoid . While these vehicles are known for their ruggedness and capability, it’s vital to consider that not all model years have lived up to expectations.

What is the most common problem with the Dodge Journey?

The remote keyless entry system is Dodge Journey’s most reported issue. According to drivers, the system gives off the wrong readings or the u0022key not detectedu0022 message.

Is a Dodge Journey a reliable car?

The Dodge Journey is reliable as long as you keep away from its worst model years.

How many miles can you expect from a Dodge Journey?

The Dodge Journey can last up to 200,00 miles under ideal maintenance conditions.

Should I buy a Dodge Journey?

Yes, you can buy a Dodge Journey; however, you want to avoid buying its worst years. Also, it would be best if you considered its interior before making a purchase.

Theorems on the unique reconstruction of a Sturm–Liouville problem with spectral polynomials in nonsplitting boundary conditions are proved. Two spectra and finitely many eigenvalues (one spectrum and finitely many eigenvalues for a symmetric potential) of the problem itself are used as the spectral data. The results generalize the Levinson uniqueness theorem to the case of nonsplitting boundary conditions containing polynomials in the spectral parameter. Algorithms and examples of solving relevant inverse problems are also presented.
