I'VE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH MY DODGE JOURNEY MY RPM RAMP UP TO 4-5 WHENEVER I ATTEMPT TO GO 40-45MPH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. I TOOK IT TO BUTTON DODGE AND THEY FIXED SOMETHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH MY TRANSMISSION. LESS THEN A MONTH LATER IT STARTS DOING IT AGAIN. SO CAN YOU GIVE ME SOME ADVICE ON WHY. ALSO MY LOCKS AND WINDOWS AND TURN SIGNAL DON'T WORK RIGHT.
FAULTY TIPM . CAR STARTS INTERMITTENTLY. DEALERSHIPS AND ALL MECHANICS ARE UNABLE TO RESOLVE. THERE ARE DODGE FORUMS EVERYWHERE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WHY WONT DODGE RECALL IT ALREADY? MY ANTITHEFT LIGHT COMES ON AND DISABLES THE CAR. WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR, SOME DAYS IT STARTS AND SOME DAYS IT DOESN'T. NO ERROR CODES COMING UP. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH, AND STARTER.
CAR WILL NOT START AT TIMES, HAVE TO LET SIT FOR ABOUT AN HOUR BEFORE IT WILL START. HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUE FOR MONTHS. CHANGED BATTERY BUT THAT HAS NOT HELPED. I HAVE POWER TO THE CAR BUT THE ENGINE WILL NOT TURN OVER. SENSOR IN STEERING WHEEL FOR AIRBAG IS ALSO LOOSE, LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF
CAR WILL NOT START, ONLY CLICKS. SOUNDS COME FROM THE STEREO. THIS HAS BEEN AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM FOR ABOUT 5 YEARS (I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN DECEMBER 2009). I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY TWICE. THIS PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE, AS IT HAPPENED YESTERDAY AND AGAIN TODAY. IT JUMPS EASILY.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS LOW SPEEDS, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, WHICH WAS A SAFETY CONCERN. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. A DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 143,000.
REAR PARKING, BACKUP AND LICENSED PLATE LIGHTS STOP WORKING DUE TO WIRES BROKEN INSIDE THE HARNESS COMING FROM VEHICLE TO REAR DOOR, ALL THE WIRES WERE BROKEN INSIDE THE WIRE LOOM AT TOP OF THE REAR DOOR TO THE VEHICLE, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE, THE WIRES BREAK DEPENDING HOW MANY TIMES THE REAR DOOR IS OPEN/CLOSE. STRANDED CABLE WIRES USE IN THIS PLACE ARE BAD QUALITY, LIKE 7 WIRES INSIDE THE CABLE.
UPON FULLING UP TO A STOP SIGN AND APPLYING THE BRAKE, MY CAR SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT A DRIVE A BLOCK OR TWO BEFORE IT DID THE SAME THING. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A MECHANIC AND AFTER LOOKING FOR A PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL DAYS THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND IT STARTED AND DROVE FINE. SEVERAL TIMES WITHIN THE PAST 6 MONTHS (JAN-JUNE 2018) I HAVE TRIED TO START MY CAR AND IT WILL NOT START. SOMETIMES MOMENTS LATER IT WILL START, SOMETIMES HOURS LATER IT WILL START. UPON SEARCHING ONLINE FOR POSSIBLE PROBLEMS, I FOUND MANY WHO HAD THE SAME ISSUES (CAR SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING, AND CAR NOT STARTING). IT SEEMS THERE WAS A RECALL TO FIX THESE VERY PROBLEMS. THE RECALL WAS REGARDING THE IGNITION MODULE. I RECENTLY PURCHASED MY CAR FROM ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL AND I DO NOT KNOW IF THE RECALL WAS ADDRESS INITIALLY. HOW CAN I FIND OUT. IF MY CAR WAS NOT FIXED, HOW CAN I GET THE RECALL FIXED NOW? IF IT WAS FIXED, THEN THE VEHICLE IS STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE "RECALL FIX" DID NOT ACTUALLY FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN CAUTIOUS DRIVING IT AS I DO NOT WANT THE VEHICLE TO TURN OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING, AGAIN NOR DO I WANT TO BE STRANDED AGAIN BECAUSE IT WON'T START.
MY CAR RANDOMLY DOESN'T START. I WILL BE PARKED, TURN OFF CAR TO RUN IN STORE WHEN I COME BACK OUT CAR WONT START. BATTERY HAS BEEN CHANGED. STILL SAME ISSUE.
CAR EXPERIENCES INTERMITTENT IGNITION FAILURE. WHILE STATIONARY WITH KEY IN IGNITION, IT WILL CLICK BUT NOT START. WE HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, AND STARTER BUT IT CONTINUES TO HAVE ISSUES STARTING OVER THE PAST 3 MONTHS. SOMETIMES IT WILL START FINE, BUT OTHER TIMES IT TAKES SEVERAL TRIES OVER A PERIOD OF 30 MINUTES. THE MECHANICS CANNOT FIND THE SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM EVEN WHEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE.
JUST REPLACED BATTERY. WAS WORKING AND STARTING FINE AFTER REPLACING FOR A FEW WEEKS. WENT TO WORK YESTERDAY MORNING AND LEFT FOR LUNCH WITH NO ISSUES. WENT TO START CAR TO RETURN TO WORK AFTER LUNCH AND WOULDN'T TURN OVER AT ALL. I WOULD TURN THE KEY AND GET ONE CLICK BUT NOT TURNING OVER. MY RADIO, LIGHTS AND WINDOWS ALL WORK WHEN KEY IS IN THE ON POSITION. CHARGED THE BATTERY FOR NEARLY 40 MINUTES AND STILL NO START ONLY A CLICK. HAVE ALSO HAD ON-GOING ISSUES WITH WIRING HARNESSES THROUGHOUT VEHICLE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE ABS, EBS, AND TRACTION CONTROL INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTING IT, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 179,000.
DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG CONECTOR BURNED OUT CAUSING AIRBAG TO ERROR AND NOT DEPLOY. AIRBAG LIGHT ACTIVATED WHILE PARKED.
THE CAR SOMETIME DOES NOT START AFTER TURNING OFF ENGINE. IN ORDER TO RESTART I HAVE TO PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, TURN KEY TO RUN WITH OUT STARTING, THEN SHIFT LEVER TO NEUTRAL, THEN TURN KEY TO CRANK MOTOR TO START. MOST OF THE TIMES THE CAR STARTS AS NORMAL, BUT SOMETIMES I HAVE TO PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL TO START MOTOR. MOVING THE SHIFT LEVER AROUND SEEMS TO DO THE TRICK.
DO SOMETHING THIS HAS BEEN A SAFETY AND INCONVENIENCE PROBLEM FOR YEARS IT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND YOU HAVE RECEIVED MANY COMPLAINTS
VEHICLE WILL NOT START. REPLACED BATTERY, REPLACED STARTER, REPLACED RELAYS AND FUSES, CLEANED CONNECTIONS. 100'S OF REPORTS WITH THIS PROBLEM ALL OVER THE INTERNET. PUTTING THE CAR IN NEUTRAL DOES NOT HELP.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE EPS WARNING INDICATOR FLASHED AND THE POWER STEERING FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME EXTREMELY TIGHT AND THERE WAS AN INTERNAL ELECTRICAL FAILURE, WHICH CAUSED THE RADIO AND BRAKES NOT TO WORK. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKE INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER (TRANSITOWNE JEEP CHRYSLER DODGE RAM OF WEST SENECA, 2989 TRANSIT RD, ELMA, NY 14059, (716) 674-6400) DIAGNOSED THAT THE RETURN POWER STEERING HOSE, COOLER, AND ABS UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED FROM THE UNKNOWN ABS AND BRAKE SYSTEM RECALLS AND HAD NOT PROVIDED AN ELECTRICAL SOLUTION TO THE DEALER. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE.
MY AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR2 PLUS YEARS MY CAR MISSED THE RECALL NUMBER BY A FEW THOUSAND CARS FOR THE PREVIOUS ONES AND I AM WORRIED MY AIR BAGS WON'T DEPLOY IF THERE IS A ACCIDENT IT'S ALWAYS ON THE LIGHT DOES NOT GO OFF
OVER THE LAST 3 YEARS I HAVE HAD AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF WORK DONE ON MY BRAKES. ON THE FRONT WHEELS, BOTH HAVE HAD 3 NEW SETS OF ROTORS, 2 OF WHICH HAD TO BE RESURFACED, 3 SETS OF BRAKE PADS, 2 NEW CALIPERS FOR THE LEFT AND 1 FOR THE RIGHT, 1 BRAKE HOSE AND 1 HUB BEARING FOR THE LEFT. THE REAR TIRES HAVE HAD A NEW SET OF ROTORS, WHICH WERE RESURFACED TODAY, AND A NEW HUB BEARING ON THE REAR LEFT. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN WRECKED, AND I CAN CONFIDENTLY SAY MY DRIVING IS NOT THE CAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. WHEN THE BRAKES HAVE GONE BAD, I HEAR A SQUEAL, THERE IS VIBRATION IN THE WHEEL AND THE BRAKE PEDAL, AND THE CAR WOULD PULL TO THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT, DEPENDING ON WHICH CALIPER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ON A MUCH HIGHER LEVEL THAN ON THE CONSUMER'S DIME.
MASTER WINDOW SWITCH QUIT WORKING, BOUGHT A NEW SWITCH THAT DIDNT FIX IT AND SO I DID SOME RESEARCH AND SEE THERE WAS A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES FOR THE COPYRIGHT 2011, CHRYSLER GROUP LLC, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED FEBRUARY 2011 DEALER SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS FOR: SAFETY RECALL K07 FRONT DOOR WIRING HARNESSES 2009 (JC) DODGE JOURNEY NOTE: THIS RECALL APPLIES ONLY TO THE ABOVE VEHICLES BUILT FROM NOVEMBER 01, 2007 THROUGH NOVEMBER 07, 2008 (MDH 110122 THROUGH 110723) WHICH ALSO EFFECTS MY LIGHTING AND POSSIBLY AIRBAGS . I HAVE CHILDREN THAT'S NOT ACCEPTABLE .
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE.

AFTER SETTING OUTSIDE THIS PAST WINTER MY CAR SAT OUTSIDE. WITH WINTERS PASSING I'M EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN S08. MY POWER STEERING RETURN HOSES HAVE RUPTURED. MY POWER STEERING FLUID IS LEAKING TERRIBLY AND I'M HAVING TO REPLACE IT DAILY. MY VIN IS ...9T133353. I'M 100% CERTAIN THAT CHRYSLER/DODGE HAS MISSED SOME VINS IN THIS ISSUE.
2009 DODGE JOURNEY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO IGNITION RECALL PROBLEMS AND REIMBURSEMENT ISSUES. *SMD *CN
HOW CAN YOU TAKE YOUR CAR TO A DODGE DEALER AND STILL CAN'T GET HELP! WHY DOES MY CAR READ 37 CODES? WHY IS MY ABS TRACKING LIGHT ON CAUSING ME NOT TO SWITCH GEARS? WHY IS MY AIRBAG LIGHT ON AT ALL TIMES? WHY DOES MY BACK UP CAMERA NOT COME ON WHEN NEEDED? WHY HAVEN'T THEY RECALLED THIS PIECE OF TRASH THEY CALL A CAR? I CAN'T GO ANYWHWER WITH OUT IT NOT STARTING AND NEEDING A JUMP. I'M OUT OF ABOUT 2000 AND STILL NO ANSWERS! WHY HAVEN'T I RECEIVED ANY RECALLS?
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE DRIVER WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED WITHOUT IMPACT.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED AND MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000. *TT
AFTER BUYING THE CAR FROM THE DEALER WE DROVE HOME AND STOPPED TO GET GAS. THE CAR WOULD NOT START. FINALLY AFTER LOCKING AND UNLOCKING THE DOORS IT STARTED. SINCE THEN EVERY DAY I DRIVE IT I CONTINUALLY HAVE ISSUES WITH IT STARTING. ONCE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IT SHUT OFF AND STOPPED. ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. NOW I CAN NOT EVEN GET IT STARTED. I HAVE A BABY AND RHOUGHT THIS WOULD BE A PERFECT VECHILE. I CAN NIT TRUST IT FOR THE SAFETY OF MY CHILD AND MYSELF.

VERY CONCERNED WITH SAFETY OF CAR. VERY DISAPPOINTED.
EVERYTIME I BRAKE MY VEHICLE IT JERKS. IVE REPLACED MY BRAKES AND THIS ISSUE STILL HAPPENS. ALSO A FEW TIMES IVE HAD MY VEHICLE TURN OFF WITH ALL LIGHTS ON WHILE I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AND A COUPLE DAYS AGO IT WOULDNT START AFTER TWO ATTEMPTS TO START THEN ON THE THIRD ATTEMPT IT STARTED.

ABOUT 4 WEEKS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN BUT THIS TIME THEY SAID THE PART WASN'T AVAILABLE. ITS NOW MARCH OF 2018 AND THE PART STILL ISNT AVAILABLE AND I AM PAYING ON A CAR I DON'T HAVE. WHY IS THIS NOT BEING RECALLED ?? I SEE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE IN THIS POSITION. I WAS ON A PUBLIC HWY.....TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP VIA LOCAL STREET....I WAS A NERVOUS WRECK THE OIL TYPE SUBSTANCE WAS POURING OUT...THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT IS THE SAME PART THEY FIXED ,THE PTU.

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
