transmission problem
Brand new 2015 Journey does not hold on a hill or downgrade when stopped. In the old days this was referred to as a "hill holder". I don't know what they call it today. When you are stopped on an incline and you remove your foot from the brake the car will roll forward or backward. You have to keep your foot on the brake and then apply the gas same as if you were driving a manual transmission. Very difficult when you are parked and the car in front or in back of you is close. Very dangerous when at a traffic light or stop sign. Is this a known defect?
