I WAS AT A STOPLIGHT WAITING FOR MY RIGHT OF WAY THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN I PUSH ON THE GAS AND IT GOES TO THE CENTER OF THE LIGHTS AND LOSES POWER THEN SHUTS OFF. I TRY TO START BUT IT JUST STARTS CLICKING WITH A RED LIGHTNING BOLT ON THE DASH I TR TO MOVE IN N AND IT WOULDN'T LET ME TILL AFTER LIKE 5 TIMES... FINALLY AFTER ALMOST BEING HIT FROM BEHIND THE OPPOSITE SIDE TURNS GREEN AND IM HAVING TO PUSH THE CAR BY MYSELF WITH 4 KIDS UNDER 4. TILL THIS DAY ITS UNKNOWN SITTING IN MY DRIVE WAY, AND EVER SINCE IT HAS HAPPEN IT WON'T START ANYMORE. NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS TILL THAT DAY ALWAYS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. AND IT SEEMS LIKE I DRAINS EVERY BATTERY.ALSO A FAMILY MEMBER HAS THE SAME CAR AND THE SAME PROBLEM HAS HAPPEN TO THEM ALSO.

HORN RANDOMLY GOES OFF WHILE DRIVING OR PARKED

THE HORN BLOWS CONTINUOUSLY OUT OF NO WHERE. I HAVE CHANGED THE BATTERY ON THE VEHICLE AFTER I HAD ONE COMPLETELY DEAD. IT WAKES UP NEIGHBORS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. MY ALTERNATOR IS GOOD AND PROVIDES THE CORRECT AMPERAGE. IT HONKS WHEN STARTED, SITTING STILL AND OFF AND ALL THE TIME. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 6 MONTHS NOW.

THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE STOPPED WORKING. FUSES ARE GOOD AND BULBS ARE GOOD.

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW SINCE I PUT AT LEAST 3-4 SETS OF BRAKES ON THIS CAR AND 2 SETS OF ROTORS A YEAR SINCE OWNING IT. I HAVE 56000 MILES ON MY CAR I KNOW THAT BRAKES AND ROTORS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY IT'S REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON A VEHICLE. BUT THIS IS OVER KILL. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP I BELIEVE THAT MY ANTI LOCK BRAKE PUMP ASSEMBLY IS OUT. I'VE REPLACE THE MASTER CYLINDER AND 2 BRAKE LINES I STILL HAVE NO PEDAL TO SPEAK OF. THE FIRST MONTH I OWNED THIS CAR THE BRAKES AND ROTORS WERE REPLACED BY BARRETH IN WASHINGTON, MO

THE CAR WILL NOT START

MY JOURNEY WAS WORKING FINE UNTIL A FEW MONTHS AGO, WHEN THE BATTERY SEEMINGLY DIED. I REPLACED IT (NO SMALL FEAT) AND ALL WAS GOOD FOR A BIT. NOW, EVERY THIRD DAY, I GO OUT AND THE CAR IS DEAD. THE BATTERY IS BRAND NEW, BUT THE CAR ACTS AS IF IT IS DEAD. I DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE LEAD, [PUT IT BACK ON, AND VOILA, IT STARTS AGAIN. THE BATTERY IS FINE. AT LEAST FOR A DAY, AND THE REPEATS...OVER AND OVER. I TOOK IT IN FOR THE RECALL ON THE STEERING COLUMN ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND IT LASTED FOR A WEEK AFTER THAT, AND THEN DEAD AGAIN. I SEE THE FORUMS THAT SAY LOTS AND LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM...HAS ANYONE ACTUALLY GOT IT FIXED IN WHICH IT HAS STAYED FIXED? SINCE DODGE REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM, WE ARE IN A BAD CATCH-22 IN WHICH THE DEALER CAN'T/WON'T FIX IT BECAUSE IF THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE, THEN THEY FEEL RESPONSIBLE FOR IT, WHICH THEY CAN'T /WON'T DO. SO I AM IN THE ENDLESS BACK-AND-FORTH WITH REPAIR PLACES, WHO I SUSPECT JUST DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE TERMINAL, RECONNECT IT, CALL VICTORY AND CHANGE ME $200. I HAVE REPLACED STARTER, ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY 3 TIMES.

CAR WILL NOT TURN ON. ONE DAY IT URNS ON FINE NEXT DAY WONT TURN ON.

MY AUTO IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL INVOLVING THE IGNITION/FOB. BUT I'VE HAD ISSUES WHEN MY AUTO SHUTS OFF FOR NO REASON, IF MY CAR IS TURNED OFF AND MY KEY IS LEFT IN THE IGNITION..I CLOSED THE DOORS AND 5-10 SEC.LATER ALL MY DOORS LOCKED. THANKFULLY MY WINDOWS WERE CROWDED, I WAS IN MY GARAGE BECAUSE IT WAS SUMMER AND MY DOG WAS IN THE AUTO. SOMETIMES MY FOB WORKS .SOMETIMES DOESN'T. HAVE REPLACED BATTERY AND FOB BUT STILL HAVE IGNITION ISSUES AT TIMES.

THE HEAT DOES NOT GET HOT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEN DRIVING ANYWHERE OR WHEN PARKED. THE HORN RANDOMLY GOES OFF WHEN I'M DRIVING ON THE STREET EXPRESSWAY AND ALSO WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED AND SHUTOFF. THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED OR WHILE DRIVING ON ALL ROADS. THE AIRBAG INDICATOR SOUND CHIMES CONTINUOUSLY WHILE I'M DRIVING ON ANY ROAD. I WENT TO DRIVE MY CAR LAST WEEK IN THE EXTREMELY COLD TEMPERATURE AND DISCOVERED I HAD NO POWER STEERING. I GOT OUT THE CAR AND ALSO DISCOVERED HUGE AMOUNTS OF POWER STEERING FLUID IN THE SNOW WHERE I WAS PARKED. IT WAS EVIDENT SOMETHING RUPTURED CAUSING THE MY VEHICLE TO LOSE ALL OF IT'S POWER STEERING FLUID. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE THAT THESE RECALLS DO NOT EXIST FOR MY VEHICLE. I WANT SOMETHING TO BE DONE ABOUT THESE ISSUES ON MY VEHICLE. IT'S CLEAR THAT THE DODGE JOURNEY HAS DEFAULTS. THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE ISSUES. PLEASE ASSIST WITH THESE ISSUES. THANK YOU.

CAR OCCASIONALLY DOESN'T STAY IN HIGH GEAR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. NEED TO PULL OVER AND TURN CAR OFF TO GET IT TO SHIFT TO HIGH GEAR AGAIN. THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ALSO DOESN'T HOLD ITSELF ON HILLS AT A LIGHT. IT ROLLS BACKWARD UNLESS I HOLD THE BREAK. AIR DIVERTER BOX BEHIND GLOVE BOX BANGS EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS OFF.

HORN CONSISTENTLY BLOWING WHILE CAR IS TURN OFF SITTING STATIONARY,WHILE DRIVING ALL HOURS OF DAY AND NIGHT. TOOK HORN FUSES OUT TO STOP HORN FROM BLOWING. AS SOON AS WE PUT FUSES BACK IN HORN STARTS BLOWING AS IF THE CAR IS POSSESSED. HORN BLOWING ON OWN WHILE DRIVING DOWN CITY STREETS,HIGHWAYS AND STATIONARY.NOTICED HEAD LIGHTS FLASHING AS IF ALARM GOING OFF. CLICKING NOISE AS IF ELECTRICAL WIRES ARE TOUCHING COMING FROM FUSE BOX AREA. DRAINING BATTERY HAD TO REPLACE BATTERY WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF PURCHASE. CHANGED THE CAR ENGINE COMPUTER CAUSE THAT WENT OUT,NOT SURE IF THAT'S A RESULT OF THIS ISSUE.THERE ARE A HUGE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME OR SIMILAR PROBLEMS IF YOU GOOGLE IT. TOOK TO SEVERAL INDEPENDENT MECHANICS NO ONE CAN DETECT THE ISSUE. APPARENTLY THE DODGE DEALERSHIPS CAN'T DETECT PROBLEM EITHER ACCORDING TO THE COMPLAINTS I'VE READ ON GOOGLE. PLEASE HELP US THIS PROBLEM IS ANNOYING! TO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE AND NO ONE CAN DETECT THE PROBLEM! THERE NEED TO BE A RECALL! I'M AFRAID MY CAR IS GOING TO CATCH ON FIRE! PROBLEM STARTED IN 2017 AND HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT 2-3 YRS NOW OFF AND ON. HORN BLEW ON ITS OWN WHEN PUT FUSES BACK IN AS LATE AS TODAY. 01/05\19

WAS LEAVING WORK AND LOST STEERING. UPON CHECKING REALIZED THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING FLUID IN CAR. I ADDED POWER STEERING FLUID AND STARTED CAR IT IMMEDIATELY STARTED RUNNING OUT OF THE CAR JUST INSIDE AND BEHIND THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION I DISCOVERED THE RUBBER LINE HAD SIMPLY SLID OFF OF THE HARD LINE. IT SLID RIGHT BACK ON. THE FACTORY "SPRING" CLAMP CAN BE COMPRESSED WITH MY FINGERS. I TOOK IT OFF AND REPLACED WITH A WORM GEAR CLAMP TO INSURE THAT IT STAYS ON. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A REAL DANGER IF IT HAD HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I AM ATTACHING A PICTURE OF ORIGINAL CLAMP.

KBB SHOWS IGNITION RECALL ON THE 2010 DODGE JOURNEY MY VEHICLE RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING WITH NO OTHER ISSUES. SOME DAYS IT DOES FINE. COULD BE A COUPLE WEEKS AND THEN WILL RANDOMLY SHUT OFF MAKING IT VERY UNSAFE FOR A FAMILY VEHICLE. DODGE DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE NO OPEN RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

EVERYTIME IT GETS COLD OUTSIDE MY POWER STEERING LINE WHICH I BELIEVE IS THE RETURN HOSE KEEPS BLOWING OFF AND LOSE THE POWER STEERING. MY WIFE AND KIDS WHERE DRIVING AND ALMOST GOT INTO A BAD ACCIDENT DUE TO IT. IT BEEN HAPPENING FOR PAST 3 DAYS.

'TAKATA RECALL' WHEN DRIVING THIS 2010 DODGE JOURNEY I HONESTLY DO NOT FEEL SAFE NOR I THINK IT'S SAFE FOR MY KIDS . HAVING THE CAR JUST DIE OUT OF NO WHERE, AND THEN SOME MORNINGS IT WON'T START UP FOR NO REASON , IS REALLY DISAPPOINTING. WHEN YOUR A SINGLE MOM AND YOU WORK DAY AND AND NIGHT , TO BUY A NEW CAR , YOU WOULD THINK IT WOULD BENEFIT THE FAMILY. SADLY IT JUST BRINGS MORE PROBLEMS THAT I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX.

THE TIPM IS STARTING TO FAIL (WHICH APPARENTLY DODGE KNEW ABOUT BUT WILL NOT FIX DUE TO LACK OF REPORTS) FUSES AND RELAYS ARE STARTING TO BLOW CAUSING ALL KINDS OF ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THE TIPM FOR THE CAR IS TYPICALLY 500-1000 DOLLARS WHICH IS A LOT TO SPEND TO FIX ON A CAR THAT THE MANUFACTURER KNEW WOULD EVENTUALLY HAPPEN. DO NOT EVER BUY THIS VEHICLE. WORST CAR TO OWN!! EVER!!

SENTRY SECURITY FEATURE RANDOMLY MALFUNCTIONS, DEACTIVATING THE ENGINE AND STRANDING THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE MAKES CLICK NOISE WHEN KEY FOB IS TURNED TO START, BUT ENGINE WON'T TURN OVER. THEN VEHICLE WILL ACT LIKE THE BATTERY IS DEAD, EVEN THOUGH IT ISN'T. THE VEHICLE WILL WORK NORMALLY FOR MONTHS WITH NO PROBLEMS. NO WARNINGS AND NO PATTERNS. ONLY ABLE TO START AGAIN AFTER A FEW HOURS LEFT ALONE. NO ACTION RESOLVES THE ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING MY DODGE JOURNEY THE HORN BEGAN TO BLOW EXTENSIVELY. I WAS NOT MANUALLY BLOWING THE HORN. THE HORN BEGAN TO BLOW ON IT'S OWN, THEN IT WOULD STOP FOR APPROXIMATELY 3 MINUTES, THEN START AGAIN. NEXT DAY, IT DID THE SAME BUT WITH DIFFERENT TIME INTERVALS. IT WAS BLOWING INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN I WAS HOME, WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED AND LOCKED, THE HORN BEGAN TO BLOW AGAIN. I FINALLY HAD TO TAKE FUSES OUT. I'M NOW DRIVING WITHOUT A HORN, I CARRY A PURCHASED HORN IN THE CAR. ONLINE THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND MAKE OF CAR. THE FIX IS PRICEY! PEOPLE ARE NOT AWARE THAT THEY SHOULD COME TO THIS SITE TO INITIATE A RECALL SO THAT THE MANUFACTURER WILL AIDE US WITH REPAIR. PLEASE HELP US.

THE HORN GOES OFF ON IT'S OWN, AT ALL TIMES OF THE DAY AND NIGHT, WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS ON OR OFF. IT GOES OFF TO THE POINT WHERE THE FUSE HAS TO BE PULLED, WHICH HAS RESULTED IN A VEHICLE WITH AN INACTIVE HORN, CAUSING A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE JOURNEY AWD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND LOST STEERING ABILITY. THE CONTACT STOPPED AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, AND THEN DROVE TO HER DESTINATION. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED AGAIN ON OCTOBER 18, 2018. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC OR DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 156,000.

DEFECTIVE TIPM MANY VEHICLES DODGE/CHRYSLER HAVE BEEN RECALLED, THE MAJORITY FROM 2007-2015. JOURNEYS WERE NOT INCLUDED, BUT ACCORDING TO THE INCREDIBLE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS I FEEL THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN. THIS EFFECTS EVERYTHING AND MY CAR LOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT WILL BE MUCH CHEAPER FOR DODGE TO FIX IT THEN TO GET THE LAWSUIT WHEN MY AIRBAG DOESN'T DEPLOY OR I AM IN AN ACCIDENT.

MY RIGHT SIDE DOOR LATCHES ARE RATCHETING AND WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK PROPERLY EITHER WHEN USING THE REMOTE OR PRESSING THE DOOR LOCK SWITCH.

RANDOM CRANKING ISSUE. HAS LEFT ME STRANDED SEVERAL TIMES. IT WILL CRANK AND MOVE AND AFTER I PARK SOMEWHERE AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF THE NEXT TIME I GET READY TO GO SOMEWHERE IT WILL NOT CRANK. STARTER, IGNITION, BATTERY, BATTERY CABLES, ALTERNATOR HAVE BEEN REPLACED. I HAVE ALSO TAKEN THE KEY TO LOCKSMITH TO MAKE SURE IT HASN'T LOST PROGRAMMING. DEALERSHIP SAYS IT CANNOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. IT HAS LEFT ME STRANDED 18 TIMES THIS MONTH ALONE. IT RANDOMLY WILL NOT CRANK WHEN YOU TURN THE KEY. WHETHER IN MY GARAGE OR AT THE GROCERY STORE. IT WON'T RESTART UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS NOW. I HAVE READ SEVERAL POSTS ON REPAIR FORUMS WHERE PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH NO REMEDY FROM THE MANUFACTURE. PLEASE HELP!

THE CAR RANDOMLY HONKS ON IT'S OWN DURING DRIVING AND PARKED ON THE SIDE OF THE STREET.

POWER STEERING MAKES A WHINNING SOUND WHEN STARTING THE SUV. THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF AND THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON DUE TO ELECTRICAL ISSUES. MY IGNITION ALSO SLIPS WHILE DRIVING.

LEFT AND RIGHT HORN ACTIVATED AT RANDOM WHILE DRIVING AND PARKED, NIGHT AND/OR DAY. DEALERSHIP CAN NOT PIN POINT THE PROBLEM. SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THIS PROBLEM ALL OVER THE INTERNET.

LOW PRESSURE POWER STEERING HOSE RUPTURED AND BEGAN LEAKING UPON START UP IN COLD WEATHER

FOR THE FOURTH TIME NOW I HAVE HAD TO HAVE MY VEHICLE IN TO HAVE THE POWER STEERING HOSE REPLACED!!!! AND OF COURSE, I AM AM BEING TOLD THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE A FACTORY BLOCK HEATER INSTALLED SO IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO DISAPPOINTED BY A COMPANY IN ALL MY LIFE!!!! EACH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IT HAS CAUSED A HUGE INCONVENIENCE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. THE FIRST TIME THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT A SCHOOL FUNSTION. STARTED IT, LET IT RUN FOR ABOUT 5 MIN AND WHEN I ACCELERATED TO LEAVE MY POWER STEERING WAS GONE. SECOND TIME, I WAS PARKED, WENT TO START IT AND WENT TO LEAVE. AGAIN, NO POWER STEERING. THIRD TIME I WAS PARKED IN A LOT FOR SHOPPING. I STARTED IT, WENT TO LEAVE AND NO POWER STEERING. THE FOURTH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE. I STARTED IT REMOTELY. WHEN I WENT TO BACK OUT OF THE GARAGE THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING. IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER NO LESS!!!! I WAS LEFT ONTHE SIDE OF ROAD WITH MY TWO KIDS LAST FRIDAY WHEN THE TEMPERATURE HERE IN MN WAS -20. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?! ALL OF THESE OCCURRENCES HAVE HAPPENED INT HE DEAD OF WINTER. NOT TO MENTION THE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS I HAVE TO KEEP ON PAYING TO HAVE THIS FIXED. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL, BUT I CAN'T BE COMPENSATED UNDER THE RECALL BECAUSE IT DOESN'T HAVE A BLOCK HEATER?. A BLOCK HEATER HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH POWER STEERING HOSES BLOWING OFF ON START UP IN WINTER. I REALLY NEED HELP AS I AM SINGLE MOM WITH TWO KIDS AND CONNOT AFFORD TO CONTINUE TAKING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE JOURNEY. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED OR WHILE DRIVING, THE HORN INADVERTENTLY HONKED ON AND OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES THROUGHOUT THE DAY WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

INTERMITTENT ISSUE WITH VEHICLE NOT STARTING. HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND THIS ISSUE DOCUMENTED MANY TIMES ON THE INTERNET. SOMETIMES IT WILL START IF YOU PRESS THE BRAKE, PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND THEN TURN THE IGNITION, SOMETIMES IT WILL WORK IF YOU JIGGLE THE SHIFTER, SOMETIMES IT WILL WORK IF YOU TAKE THE KEY OUT AND TURN IT OVER. TODAY! NONE OF THIS HAS WORKED. WE ALSO TRIED JUMP STARTING AND THAT DIDN'THE WORK EITHER. HOPING THAT IF I LET IT SIT FOR AWHILE, I CAN GET IT STARTED SO I CAN GO TO WORK TOMORROW. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE I GAD 2 PREVIOUS DODGE VEHICLES THAT I HAD GOOD LUCK WITH, BUT THIS VEHICLE IS MAKING ME RETHINK EVER BUYING ANOTHER DODGE.

DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHTS. THE JOURNEY HAS DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS INSTALLED BUT NOT ACTIVATED. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY ARE ONLY ACTIVATED IF THE CAR WAS SOLD NEW IN A STATE THAT REQUIRED THEM. THE DEALER SAID THEY CAN ACTIVATE BY HOOKING UP THEIR FACTORY SCANNER BUT IT WOULD COST ME SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I NEED TO PAY TO HAVE A SAFETY FEATURE THAT WAS INSTALLED AT THE FACTORY ACTIVATED. THERE IS RESEARCH THAT SHOWS DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS SAVE LIVES AND SOME OF THE STATES I TRAVEL TO REQUIRE THAT I TURN ON MY HEADLIGHTS IF I DON'T HAVE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS. I DISCOVERED THIS RIGHT AFTER WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED.

MY VEHICLE WILL NOT START. I TURN THE KEY AND I HEAR ONE CLICK. IT HAS A NEW BATTERY INSTALLED. THE ENGINE ALSO DIED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AFTER BEING PUT IN REVERSE. I CAN'T JUMP START MY CAR OR ANYTHING. IT REFUSES TO START.

CAR HORN GOING OFF WITHOUT PRESSING THE HORN, STATIONARY IN DRIVEWAY, STORE, ECT. CAR IS ALSO TURNED OFF, KEY REMOVED.

WHEN DRIVING WILL HIT ANY KIND OF BUMP & ENGINE SHUTS OFF.. THIS STARTED OUT HAPPENING OCCASSIONALLY, NOW HAPPENS NEARLY EVERY TIME YOU DRIVE IT. ALSO WHEN RESTART IT REVS LIKE HOLDING FOOT DOWN ON ACCELERATOR EVEN THOUGH FOOT NOT TOUCHING ACCELERATOR.

WHEN DRIVING, BOTH AT LOW NEIGHBORHOOD SPEED AND AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THE ENGINE STALLS, LIGHTS AND RADIO STAY ON, STEERING WHEEL LOCKS AND BRAKES LOCK. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES INTERMITTENTLY AND UNPREDICTABLY. I DIDN'T BECOME SCARED UNTIL IT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS ON A HIGHWAY GOING 60MPH AND ALMOST WRECKED TRYING TO SAFELY EXIT (DATE INDICATED BELOW). THE CAR IS NOW IN MY DRIVEWAY BECAUSE I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. A MECHANIC SAID IT WAS RELATED TO A PREVIOUSLY-ISSUED SAFETY RECALL BUT WHEN I CALLED A DEALER TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE RECALL REPAIR, I WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, DESPITE THE GLARING SIMILARITY. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE AND, AS STATED, DEALERSHIPS WILL NOT REPAIR MY VEHICLE FOR FREE.

THIS CAR IS SIX YEARS OLD AND I HAVE NOW HAD TO REPLACE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS THREE TIMES. EACH TIME THE TECHNICIAN INDICATES THAT THERE IS MINIMAL BRAKE PAD LEFT AND THE ROTORS ARE RUSTED, PITTED AND OVERHEATED. THEY RECOMMEND IN EACH CASE THAT THE THE REPAIR IS A SAFETY CONCERN. WHAT I HAVE READ ONLINE FROM OTHER JOURNEY OWNERS IS THAT THE BRAKES ARE WOEFULLY INADEQUATE FOR THE VEHICLE SIZE AND WEIGHT. IT IS TIME THAT CHRYSLER REPAIR THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL.

VEHICLE TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING. UNABLE TO STEER OR BRAKE.

IT'S NOT YOUR STARTER OR ALTERNATOR IT'S YOUR NEUTRAL CUT OUT (SAFETY SWITCH). HAVE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL TO START. OWN A 2010 AND HAVE CALLED AND COMPLAINED ABOUT IT AS IT IS A SAFETY PROBLEM. IF YOU DON'T GET ANY SATISFACTION FROM YOUR DEALER OR DODGE FILE A DEFECT COMPLAINT FORM AND GET THEM TO INVESTIGATE A RECALL. SAVE YOUR RECEIPTS FOR ALL EXPENSES INCURRED FOR THIS ISSUE AND THEY WILL REIMBURSE YOU. IT'S BEEN HAPPENING MORE OFTEN IT IS SPORADIC, LOOKING UP THIS INFO. I SEE IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES I NEED IT FIXED I CAN NOT AFFORD TO GET STUCK I AM A SINGLE MOM.

WENT TO GO GET GAS DRIVING THE 2010 DODGE JOURNEY SXT. CORNER OF VILLA AND NORTH AV. IN VILLA PARK , ILLINOIS FILLED MY GAS TANK UP PULLED OUT OF THE GAS STATION. WITHIN 100 FEET OF DRIVING AWAY FROM THE GAS STATION MY CARS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STARTED TO MALFUNCTION. MEANING WINDSHIELD WIPERS GOING, HORN GOING OFF, DASH BOARD LIGHTS FLASHING ALL LIGHTING UP, ETC. CAR POWER STEERING CUTS OFF AND ACCELERATION SHUTS OFF. I HAD TO COAST MY CAR INTO AN EMPTY PARKING LOT TO ASSET THE SITUATION. I SEE SMOKE COMING FROM THE HOOD OF MY CAR. TURN MY CAR OFF, POPPED OPEN MY HOOD, TO SEE MORE SMOKE COMING FROM THE FUSE BOX. IN A MATTER OF SECONDS THERE WAS VISIBLE FLAME. THE NEXT THING I DID, WHILE CALLING 911 RAN TO THE NEAREST CONVENIENT STORE (BARGAIN IN A BOX) TO SEE IF THEY HAD A FIRE EXTINGUISHER. TOLD THE DETAILS OF WHERE MY LOCATION TO 911 AND TELL THEM THERE WAS A FIRE COMING FROM THE FUSE BOX OF THE CAR. THE EMPLOYEES AT THE CONVENIENT STORE GAVE ME A FIRE EXTINGUISHER WHILE I WAS ON THE PHONE ASKED THE OPERATOR IF I SHOULD USE THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER, THE 911 OPERATOR TOLD ME IF MY SAFETY WOULD BE AT RISK THAT SHE ADVISED ME NOT TO USE IT AND TOLD ME THE VILLA PARK POLICE AND VILLA PARK FIREFIGHTERS ARE ON THERE WAY. A CUSTOMER STANDING NEXT TO ME ASKED WHAT DID SHE SAY AND I RELAYED THE MESSAGE BACK TO HIM. HE THEN TOOK IT INTO HIS OWN HANDS AND PUT THE FIRE OUT FOR ME. A FEW MOMENTS AFTER THE FIREFIGHTERS SHOWED UP THEY CUT THE BATTERY CORDS TO THE FUSE BOX CUTTING ALL POWER TO

THIS CAR HONKS RANDOMLY OFF OR ON, LONG OR SHORT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT SCARES DRIVERS WHO AREN'T AWARE AND CAN CAUSE A DISTRACTION LEADING TO A ACCIDENT.

I HAVE ONLY HAD MY CAR TWO AND HALF YEARS AND ITS BEEN NONE STOP ISSUES STARTED WITH CAR ONLY WANTING TO START WHEN IT FELT LIKE IT AND IMY TURN SIGNALS AND HEAD LIGHT FLASHING WHEN THEY WANTED THEN MY INTERERIOR LIGHTS ALSO ALL WHEN CAR WAS OFF AND LOCKED THEN THE DOORS AND WINDOWS STARTING ROLLING UP AND DOWN ON THEIR OWN AND THE DOORS UNLOCKING AND LOCKING BACK ON THEIR OWN AND NOW LAST BUT NOT LEAST MY HORN WONT STOP HONKING ITS A PHYSICAL DRAIN IT INTERFERS WITH WORK , SLEEP IT WAKES UP THE NEIGHBOR HOOD ALL HOUR OF THE NITE WILL BE AT WORK AND HAVE TO EXCUSE MYSELF TO GO OUTSIDE AND PRAY I CAN GET IT TO STOP! CAUSING ME BATTERY DAMAGE MORE THEN AT 285 DOLLARS A POP FOR BATTERY AND INSTALLATION NO EXPECTS WHEN THEY PAY OVER THIRTY THOUSAND FOR A CAR IT IS GONNA BE POSSESSED! BECAUSE OF THIS CAR IT HAS RAINED AND SNOWED IN MY VEHICLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WHEN WINDOWS WANNA ROLL DOWN ON THEIR OWN I HAVE REPLACED WIDOW SWITCHES AND SENSORS ALSO AND STILL HAVING ALL THESE ISSUES I CAN NOT AFFORD TO MAY TO FIX THESE COSTLY REACCURING ISSUES DUE TO THE MANUFACTOR MADE HUGE MISTAKES WHILE MAKING THIS CAR OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE I HAVE READ COMPLAINT AFTER COMPLAINT ONLINE LIKE MINE THERE DEFINITELY SHOULD BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE SERIOUSLY GETS HURT AND THEY GET SUED ... THANK YOU

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE JOURNEY AWD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER EXPOSURE TO COLD TEMPERATURES, THE POWER STEERING HOSE RUPTURED WHILE THE ENGINE WAS STARTED. THE FAILURE CAUSED A LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING FLUID, HOSES, STEEL TUBES, AND POWER STEERING OIL COOLER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V273000 (STEERING). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE LISTED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 104,000.

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN JANUARY 2014. IN ROUGHLY JUNE 2014 I STARTED MY CAR AND THE WIPERS IMMEDIATELY TURNED ON HIGH AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO TURN THEM OFF OR SLOW THEM DOWN. I ALSO WAS UNABLE TO USE MY TURN SIGNALS, AND WHILE DRIVING FOR A WHILE WITH THE WIPERS ON AND NO TURN SIGNALS (HAD TO GET HOME AND GET TO THE DEALERSHIP), THE TURN SIGNAL ARM ON THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD BECOME QUITE WARM. THE TIPM WAS REPLACED FOR ROUGHLY $750+LABOR. IT IS NOW JANUARY 2017 AND I AM HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUES WITH THE WIPERS BEING STUCK ON AND NO USE OF TURN SIGNALS. THE CAR WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE, I TURNED IT ON, AND HELLO WIPERS. THE TIPM WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED FOR THE SECOND TIME IN THREE YEARS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS ANY OTHER NUMBER OF ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS CONTROLLED BY THE TIPM (SO BASICALLY EVERYTHING) COULD BE AFFECTED WITH NO WARNING. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TIPM IN THIS MODEL VEHICLE (AND OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES). WHY IS NOTHING BEING DONE?! *TR

SEVERAL INSTANCES OF DRIVING ALONG AND THE CAR JUST SHUTS OFF. WHEN THE CAR SHUTS OFF YOU LOOSE POWER STEERING. BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED IN 2015 AND IT HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR. NOW IN 2016 THERE ARE AT LEAST 20 TIMES THAT I CAN COUNT. I KNOW THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS IN THE 2010 JOURNEYS BUT MINE IS NOT INCLUDED IN IT BY VIN #. I AM WONDERING IF THE TIME FRAME ON THIS ISSUE DOESN'T NEED TO GO WIDER OUT TO CATCH MORE.

UNSAFE CONDITIONS IN ALL THE ISSUES WRITTEN 6/20/16 5/13 40,000 MILES - NOW 81,000 MILES IGNITION SWITCH - ISSUES, THE KEY FOB WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUTS DOWN.....DOORS, WINDOWS, ANYTHING ELECTRIC DOES NOT WORK. THE DOOR LOCKS DON'T UNLOCK THE CAR REMAINS LOCKED AND PASSENGERS ARE NOT ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR FOR A RANDOM PERIOD OF TIME. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 3 OCCASIONS. HORN BLOWING WITHOUT PUSHING THE HORN, WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION AND/OR PARKED. STORMY WEATHER IRONICALLY INCREASES THE CHANCE OF RANDOM HORN BLOWING. VERY UNSAFE. BEGAN MARCH 2015, APPROX. 65,000 MILES. THE DEALER AND DODGE 800 853-1403 SAY THAT THE CARS VIN # IS NOT ONE THAT HAS HAD A RECALL. ON THIS SITE, OVER 700,000 DODGE VEHICLES HAVE HAD A RECALL WITH ELECTRICAL ISSUES. PAID APPROXIMATELY $900 IN LABOR AND PARTS (SEE INVOICE FROM HUFFINES DEALER), 2 BATTERIES IN 2 YEARS, 3/2015 $200.00, 6/20/16, $238.00

MY PROBLEMS FIRST STARTED WITH MY HORN AND ALARM RANDOMLY GOING OFF. THEN I GO OUT TO MY CAR AFTER WORK AND THE DOORS ARE UNLOCKED, AND THE FRONT WINDOWS ARE ROLLED DOWN. I DON'T CARRY THE REMOTE/FOB ON ME, SO THAT'S NOT THE CAUSE. I HAVE HAD AT LEAST 2 SEPARATE TIMES NOW WHERE THE CAR HAS REMOTE STARTED ITSELF, WHILE THE KEYS WERE ON THE COUNTER AT MY HOUSE. THE FIRST TIME MY CAR WAS IN THE GARAGE, WITH THE DOOR CLOSED, WHEN I HEARD IT RUNNING. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO CATCH IT AND TURN IT OFF, BEFORE ANY CARBON MONOXIDE GOT IN THE HOUSE TO DO DAMAGE. NOW I PARK THE CAR IN THE DRIVEWAY, BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT IT IN THE GARAGE IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN AT NIGHT. MY NEIGHBOR TEXTED ME THE OTHER NIGHT TO TELL ME MY CAR WAS RUNNING IN THE DRIVEWAY. MY WIFE, SON, AND I WERE ALL UPSTAIRS AND THE KEYS WERE DOWNSTAIRS. I CONSIDER THIS A VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM. CARBON MONOXIDE CAN KILL.
