Humming or whining from your Journey’s gearbox at highway speeds? Learn which parts to check first, what the noise usually means, and whether it’s safe to keep driving.
If you hear a humming or whining noise that seems to come from the gearbox once your Dodge Journey reaches highway speeds, it's worth taking a close look. At steady cruise, the transmission is spinning fast enough to make small problems very audible. The good news? Not every gearbox whine means a major failure. In many cases, the cause is something simple like low fluid, but you won't know until you investigate. Your first step should be to narrow down where the noise is coming from and what's actually spinning at that speed.
