The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000.

Power steering hose ruptured after a few days of snow and ice. I went to drive to the store but was unable to turn out of the driveway due to no power steering. I done some research to where I found out there was a recall for this same issue but evidently my VIN # isn't included in this recall as while as many others I have read about online. I think this needs to be looked into.

Car doesnt start all the time when it does it ends up shutting off. it shuts off while driving, also cuts in and out while driving.

The steering locked up could not turn or straighten car out. All electrical things lights air conditioning gas light just went haywire and is still not working. The shifting system I guess is what u call it started slipping out of gear like going into natural or first gear and nothing else. Several cars had to serve to keep from getting hit at 70+ miles an hour and I had no control other than to hit the break on the freeway and pray. Accordingly to the Bob site there's so many problems I know the ones I've had I just didn't know I could let any one know that mattered. I've reported it today. The first time it slipped out of gear I thought maybe it was something I may have done as far as the electric it was Little things like AC works as it pleases airbags light up tire pressure ECT the gas light no longer moves stays on E unknown to exact dates

I have issues starting it. New starter, new battery and it just dies. Luckily I was parked when it died. I have children, if it dies while driving I could be in a serious car crash with my children in the car. I do not want to die, I love my car but I do not want to be put in danger because of this type of issue. I also do not want to be stranded somewhere. PLEASE HELP.

Fire personnel arrived and found a 2009 Dodge Journey with an engine compartment fire. Fire personnel used tank water and a pre-connected 1 3/4 In. hose line to extinguish the fire. There were no exposures or damage to other property. Upon completing the extinguishment, an origin and cause investigation was conducted, which Included, but was not limited to, scene examination, documentation, and interviews. The owner of the vehicle stated the following: He purchased the vehicle new. He has liability Insurance only through Allstate. This Is not his primary vehicle. He does his own service. No known electrical Issues, and there were no warning lights on the vehicle before the fire.

On [XXX] around [XXX] I was driving 25mph in Alameda CA, and about two minutes into the ride, the airbag warning light came on. My fiance was in the passenger seat and our dog was in the back. About 15 minutes into the drive, my side airbags deployed without any collision or even bump in the road. I carefully and swiftly turned onto a side street and pulled over. My fiancé and I got out of the car, and as we took our dog out of the back seat, the primary airbags (steering wheel and passenger seat) deployed, and shattered the windshield. The dashboard was cracked as a result of the primary bags deploying. My fiancé's arm was bruised from the side airbag deploying (photo evidence taken). We called the police and they came to document the incident and confirmed that there was no collision (police report included). Vehicle was then towed home and is available for inspection. We've tried calling the dealership that the car was purchased, but it seems to be out of business. 1. Component that malfunctioned: Airbag and Indicator lights; available for inspection 2. Safety: This incident easily could've led us to crash teh vehicle and harm ourselves and others in the process, and much more seriously hurt us if we did not evacuate the car. My fiancé's arm is bruised. 3. No so far, we cannot get a hold of a dealer since ours was closed - but welcome an investigation 4. Yes, by police.

I've gone through 6 batteries in 1 year and I still have to keep jumping my vehicle Everytime I start it. I am currently stranded in Walmart parking lot with no jumper cables and I am being forced to walk now. Also there are times when I am driving down the highway and at any given moment it acts as if I stomped on the brakes. The lights go off and on, the windows roll up and down, the door locks are out of control and the gauges on the dashboard go out of control as well. I recently bought a new TIPM and ECM because when I replaced the battery it would no longer start. This vehicle is very dangerous and I'm sorry I ever bought it. It seems as if dodge cares more about their money than a human life

The viscous coupler located at the carrier rear malfunctions and causes the front transfer case to crack open.

09 Dodge Journey 3.5l v6 issues started the day after I bought the vehicle!! will cut off while driving, stall and cut off at stop lights, stop signs. Way too much heat coming from motor, ac compressor making allot of noise. Overheating issues, brake light switch issue. Cruise control malfunction, driver’s window switch and window not working. Rear tv stopped working after a snow storm, rear ac/ heater not blowing at all, cars won’t shift out of park at all. Headlights stopped working. All lights flashed on and off while driving down the freeway at 80mph, now it’s saying gas cap on dash, while driving to a job the timing belt broke after being replaced 2 months earlier, water pump is leaking after being replaced 2 months ago. Water soaking the passenger and backseat floorboards and I can’t figure out why. This is honestly the worst vehicle I’ve ever bought and I regret buying it at all every day. This vehicle should be outlawed and against the law to sell to anyone.

SYMPTOMS – Dangerous Malfunction Critical Component Failure – Wipers constantly on slow speed, even in driving rain. No Rear Wiper. No TURN SIGNALS Engine rough and limited to ~2,500 RPM. No HORN. Left signal initiated by Driver in Vehicle#1 when turning left in front of other driver Vehicle#2, no left signal light resulted; Driver in Veh#2 presumed Veh#1 was proceeding straight and pulled out; Result was Near Miss frontal collision. Right Steering column stalk - Front Windshield Wipers constantly on, can not shut off. No WW washer activation. No wiper speed control – almost like default: lowest continuous operation (not intermittent and not high speed). No rear WW wiper and wash operation either. Left steering column stalk - No turn signals, no bright lights, no dash light control. Most dash gauges do work except Navigation compass. No horn, Engine limited to about 2,500 RPM – rough acceleration Even with ALL the RR WIPER FF Wiper and washer fuses removed, front wipers and lights still continuously ‘ON’. All fuses, relays, electrical grounds, and both multifunction switches checked and good. Malfunctions were sudden, abrupt, and first time experience after normal starting of this vehicle.

The TIPM (Total Integrated Power Module) is causing electrical system failures (e.g., wipers, power locks, cruise control, etc.). Many of the affected systems are convenience issues, but the wipers and cruise control can negatively impact safe driving. Additionally the car will randomly start shaking and lose velocity while driving due to missed cylinder firings my mechanic attributes to the failing TIPM.

The rear end is going out fuel system is causing a misfire number six and the airbag light is on we have had more problems with it with the power steering starting it when it's cold and it rupturing the hose plus the wiring and the door front door there's wires broke supposedly fixed in 2011 but are broke again every recall if you type in 09 Dodge journey is what's going wrong with mine right now but there's supposedly no recall on it

Me and my son were sitting in the car waiting for my wife and the car started dying lights started were flashing the horn was honking wipers were going interior lighting and gauge cluster was all flashing then smoke started to come through the vents so we jumped out and that’s when I seen flames under the hood the wiring harness from the firewall to the fuse box was completely in flames. I eventually tamed to fire with snow beings that it was all I had at the moment. The vehicle hasn’t been inspected by anyone yet I wasn’t sure how to go about this never had to deal with anything like it. It is available for inspection anytime.

I have power door locks not working except manually or driver door by key. Key fob and door module for locks will not function. I cannot open the hatch due to power lock function. The Airbag light comes on when vehicle is started and the door is open and only disappears after the door is closed, engine shut off then restarted. Also the engine light came on for awhile then off and is now back on. This is what code scan report says. Engine and Transmission are P0420 Catalyst Efficiency (Bank1), OBDll Codes ($03) is Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 1. The Airbag is U0172 Lost Commuication w/Left Side Satellite Accelerator Sensor 1- Stored. The Door Module- Front Right (DMFR) is B16A5 Passenger Window Switch Backlighting Circuit High-Stored. Not sure exactly what these all mean but I think the Power Locks are a safety issue along with the Airbags. The power locks don't lock after driving it like they used to after driving so many feet.

The gear will not shift unless I press the release button. After I took it for a recall in Route 18 Dodge dealer East Brunswick NJ, it came back without been able to shift. I asked the mechanic why my car is no moving, they said you have to press the release button and shift gears at the same. I told them I didn’t bring my car in like this. After I spoke to “Mike” the manager, he said it was a matter of time. I’m scare for my life when driving because now is making all these sounds on the transmission.

1- My steering started making a noise when I would make a right turn. I took it to the dealer service and they informed me that the metal battery holder completely rusted away and the battery dropped down onto the inner wheel well and when I made a turn it would hit the tire and steering arm. When this started I had not driven the car after that because I felt unsafe. So I called Chrysler Customer Service and ask them to refund my money for the repair ($700+} since I Told them of possibly be injured or killed if the steering locked up while driving. They gave me a case number and said they would review it. They denied the request and blew me off with " it's out of warranty". I said I knew that and you were not concerned with my family's safety. So I need your help to recalling all Journeys which could happen to them. 2- The lugs nuts on dodges are covered in a casing and after a few years they separate from the nut. This is a big problem because the lug wrench not longer fits and I had to buy a MM deep socket to fit that nut when I would have fix a flat tire. You should review that too.

Something in the engine is causes the alternator to die. I’ve gotten it changed 3 times within a year. The car has been having multiple issues since I purchased it. The file is to lengthy to upload

I REPLACED STARTER AND STILL SAME ISSUE, I HAVE TO PUR IT IN NEUTRAL AND TRY TO START IT AND EVENTUALLY IT DOES BUT IT SHOULDN'T BE THIS WAY ALSO IT STOP WORKING AS I WAS DRIVING GETTING READY TO MAKE A TURN AND I HAD TO RESTART IT BUT ONCE AGAIN IT WOULDN'T START THE FIRST FEW TIMES WHICH I HAD TO PUT IN NEUTRAL AND I WAS IN THE CITY TRAFFIC VERY DANGEROUS

WHILE PARKED WITH FULL BATTERY TURNING THE IGNITION SWITCH ON...CAR REFUSING TO START. CAR IS PARKED ON A CITY STREET. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLETIMES.TODAYIT WILL NOT START AT ALL. CAR WAS TAKEN TO CHRYSLER JEEP RECENTLY . I WAS INFORMED THAT I NEEDED A NEW IGNITION NODULE AT AN APPROX. COST OF $1,000. IN CHECKING ONLINE I FIND THAT I AM ONE OF HUNDREDS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT.I BELIEVE CHRYSLER HAS RECALLED THESE CARS FOR FAULTY IGNITION SWITCHES. I AM LOOKING FOR HELP WITH THE NEXT STEP. I AM FEARFUL THAT EVEN IF I GET THE CAR TO START I AM UNSURE OF IT HAPPENING WHILE DRIVING. YOUR ADVICE AND RESOURCES WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THOMAS NYE

RANDOMLY, VEHICLE WILL NOT START. CAN DRIVE IT TO THE STORE, COME BACK OUT AND IT WILL NOT CRANK. ALL INTERIOR LIGHTS, ETC., WILL BE ON BUT ENGINE WILL NOT TURN OVER. AFTER IT SITS FOR A WHILE (BUT YOU NEVER KNOW FOR HOW LONG) IT WILL START AGAIN. BATTERY AND STARTER ARE GOOD. I HEAR A CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE CAR AFTER IT'S BEEN SHUT OF, SOMETIMES HOURS LATER. NEWEST ISSUE IS THAT INDICATOR LIGHTS ALL COME ON WHEN YOU START THE CAR AND CAR JERKS VIOLENTLY WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING. IF YOU CONNECT A DIAGNOSTIC TOOL AND CLEAR THE CODES BEFORE YOU START IT, THE CAR RUNS SMOOTHLY. I AM SHOCKED AND FRUSTRATED TO SEE THAT THERE ARE SO FEW RECALLS WHEN I AM READING THAT THE SAME PROBLEMS ARE CONSISTENTLY OCCURRING.

RANDOMLY MY CAR WILL START JUST FINE ONE DAY THEN THE NEXT IT WILL FAIL TO START SOMETIMES ON THE SAME DAY. I HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN STUCK SOMEWHERE BECAUSE MY CAR HAS FAILED TO START. IT JUST MAKES A CLICKING NOISE WHEN TURNING THE KEY TO START THE CAR. I USUALLY HAVE TO WAIT A WHILE FOR IT TO FINALLY START. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY WHEN PARKED FOR SHORT PERIODS OR LONG PERIODS. I NOTICE WHEN IT'S HOT AND HUMID IS WHEN I USUALLY HAVE THE PROBLEM MORE. I RECENTLY CHANGED MY STARTER AND IT'S STILL GIVING ME THE ISSUE. ALSO HAVE CHANGED AND HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED AND STILL THE SAME ISSUE AND AGAIN JUST HAPPENS RANDOMLY.
