POWER SUPPLY TO TIPM BECOMING HOT AND MELTING TIPM HOUSING SURROUNDING CONNECTION. RANDOM HORN HONKING, REMOTE START DOESN'T WORK, CLICKING FROM TIPM, DRAW FROM TIPM DRAINING BATTERY WHEN VEHICLE NOT RUNNING(OVERNIGHT). NO REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE.
HORN/ALARM GOES OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING OR WHILE CAR IS PARKED IN DRIVE WAY
THE HORN/ALARM WILL SOUND RANDOMLY AND FOR NO APPARENT REASON, OFTEN GOING DOWN THE ROAD OR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. THE KEYFOB WILL LODGE IN AND THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS "DEAD". REPLACED BATTERY THINKING IT WAS BATTERY ISSUE. ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS "DEAD" EVERY FEW DAYS. THERE IS A STRANGE DRAG/CLICK SOUND WHEN TURNING WHEEL. MANY OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT ARE BIZARRE AND COMPLETELY RANDOM. AT TIMES YOU HAVE TO START, KILL, RESTART ENGINE AND FINALLY WILL GO IN GEAR. I KEEP CHECKING FOR RECALLS AS THIS APPEARS, THROUGH MULTIPLE POSTS I HAVE READ, TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR MODEL. I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP TAKING TO DEALERSHIPS FOR ISSUES THAT CLEARLY ARE RELATED TO THE MANUFACTURING OF THE VEHICLE.
ACTIVE HEADREST FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DEPLOYED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, PARKED IN DRIVEWAY. NO CONTACT WITH OTHER VEHICLE OR OBJECT.
MY HEAD REST HAS CAME APART & THE DODGE DEALER DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO PUT IT BACK TOGETHER. I WAS TOLD IT IS PART OF THE AIR BAG RECALL & I JUST HAD THAT FIXED YESTERDAY. I DRIVE WITH MY SEAT STRAIGHT UP & I'M UNABLE TO DO SO BECAUSE OF THE HEAD REST.I MET A GUY FROM DODGE & HE TOOK PICTURES & MADE A REPORT BUT THAT WAS 3 WEEKS AGO. I NEED SOMETHING DONE. I WAS DRIVING MY CAR WHEN MY HEAD REST EXPLODED ON A SIDE STREET IF I WOULD OF BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY I WOULD OF PROBABLY WREAKED . I NEED HELP WITH THIS!!
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, THE CONTACT HEARD A SQUEAKING SOUND COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE BRAKE PAD WAS REPLACED. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKE BOOSTER HYDRAULIC SYSTEM FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,883.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V373000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE PROVIDED FALSE WARNING INDICATORS AND STOPPED ABRUPTLY OCCASIONALLY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,732.
WHEN I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND REMOVED THE KEY AND STEPPED OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE I NOTICED THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN FOR 45 MINUTES TO AN HOUR. WHEN I REENTERED VEHICLE TO TRY THE KEY AGAIN IT WOULD NOT SHUT OFF AND WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT THE GEAR LEVER. THE VEHICLE WAS AT A CLIENTS LOCATION SO I DROVE IT HOME AND PARKED IT IN THE DRIVEWAY WHERE IT CONTINUED TO RUN FOR ABOUT AN HOUR WHEN I REMOVED THE KEY. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO PREMIER OF CAPE COD THE ONLY DODGE DEALER ON CAPE COD. I WAS TOLD IT WAS AN ELECTRONIC COMPUTER MODULE. TO REPLACE THE MODULE WITH 2 NEW KEYS THE COST WOULD BE $1,038.00 INSTALLED. I SUBMITTED A SAFETY CLAIM WITH THE CHRYSLER/DODGE REGIONAL OFFICE AND WAS DENIED. I WAS OFFERED A YEAR OF FREE OIL CHANGES AND NO REIMBURSEMENT AS VEHICLE WARRANTY WAS OVER. THE VEHICLE WAS A 2010 WITH 74,470 MILES. MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS COULD VERY WELL BEEN A SAFETY ISSUE AS VEHICLE KEPT RUNNING AND COULD NOT BE SECURED. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN ISSUED A RECALL AS UPON INVESTIGATING FURTHER THIS MODEL AND YEAR HAD A HISTORY OF THIS ISSUE. A $1,038.00 REPAIR FOR A COMPUTER MODULE IS NOT YOUR AVERAGE ISSUE/REPAIR.
THE VEHICLE HAS A 100000+ MILES NEVER REALIZED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO CHANGE THE BRAKES NEARLY 30 TIMES IN THAT TIME FRAME ALMOST 4 OR 5 TIMES A YEAR THEY SHAKE VIBRATE I REPLACED THE ROTORS THE CALIPERS SHOES AND ANYTHING TO DO WITH BRAKES INCLUDING BOOSTER AND FLUID CHECKED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND EVERYTHING THEY SEEM TO LOCK UP AND AT ONCE SO HOT IT MELTED MY DRIVERS SIDE HUB CAP OFF THEY LOCKED UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT I FEEL THE BREAKS ARE TOO LIGHT FOR THE WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE THE CAR IS PAID FOR AND OUT OF WARRANTY AND CAN'T REPLACE THE AMOUNT OF MONEY I PAID FIXING BUT IS THERE A RECALL? HAS ANYBODY FILED A LAWSUIT?HAS ANYBODY GOT HURT INJURED OR EVEN LOST THERE LIFE TO THESE BREAKS?
MY CAR WAS CUTTING OFF EVEN AFTER I HAD IT REPAIRED DUE TO A RECALL ON THE IGNITION. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE CAR WOULD JUST STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING IT. NOW I I TOLD DODGE THAT I WAS AFRAID MY CAR WAS GOING TO KILL ME. I OFTEN RENTED CARS BECAUSE IT WAS TOO UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND I RARELY DROVE THE CAR EVEN THOUGH I WAS STILL PAYING A WHOPPING LOAN ON IT. THEY POO POOED WHAT I TOLD THEM AND IGNORED MY CLAIMS. NOW,I'M NOT A CAR EXPERT BUT THIS IS NOT NORMALLY. I RECENTLY HAD IT SERVICED AND HAD A TRANSMISSION REPLACED, OBVIOUSLY THIS WAS NOT THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE CAR MALFUNCTIONED WHEN MY KIDS WERE IN THE CAR AND LANDED IN A RAVINE. I FOUND OUT THAT THIS VEHICLE IS UNDER RECALL AGAIN FOR THE THIRD TIME CONCERNING THE IGNITION.
2010 DODGE JOURNEY HORN GOES OFF RANDOMLY AS I AM DRIVING DOWN ROAD OR WHEN IT IS SITTING WITHOUT KEY IN THE IGNITION. CAR ALARM WENT OFF RANDOMLY ONE TIME. THERE ARE 106,000 MILES ON IT NOW BUT IT ONLY HAD AROUND 60,000 WHEN THIS STARTED . REPLACED THE CAR BATTERY BECAUSE THAT WAS ON A BLOG BUT THAT DID NOT HELP.
HEADLIGHT ON PASSENGER SIDE DOES NOT WORK ON HIGH OR LOW BEAMS. IT STARTED NOT COMING ON THE NEXT MORNING AFTER THEY WHERE WORKING FINE 6 HOURS EARLIER AND I'VE HAD EVERYTHING CHECKED AND CAN'T SEEM TO FIND NOTHING WRONG EXCEPT THEM NOT WORKING. I EVEN REPLACE THE BULBS AND THEY STILL DIDN'T WORK AND NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE OLD BULBS THOUGH THE MECHANIC DID NOT FIND NOTHING WRONG I THINK IT'S THE PLUG-IN THAT YOU PLUG THE LIGHT INTO.
RECALL R03/NHTSA 14V-373: MY DEALER CAN NOT MAKE THIS REPAIR AS IT CLAIMS INSUFFICIENT PARTS AND A LARGE BACK LOG OF CARS NEEDING THIS RECALL.

THE HORN BEEPS RANDOMLY. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE RIGHT BEFORE A THUNDERSTORM HITS OR WHEN A STORM IS IN THE AREA. ALSO THE CAR SOMETIMES WON'T START. THE STARTING PROBLEM HAS BEEN AN ON GOING PROBLEM SINCE THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNER SHIP. I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND HAVE HAD THE CAR IN FOR ALL OF THE RECALLS INCLUDING THE FOB REPLACEMENT. I FEEL THIS CAR IS A LEMON AND WISH I HAD NEVER PURCHASED IT. MY PLYMOUTH VOYAGER WAS A VERY DEPENDABLE CAR AND I WAS EXPECTING THE SAME FROM THE JOURNEY BUT THAT HAS NOT BEEN THE CASE WITH THIS CAR.
THE PAINIC ALARM GOES OFF ON ITS OWN DAY OR NIGHT ONLY WAY TO STOP IT UNHOOK THE BATTER WHAT DO I DO

TAKATA RECALL WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP LIGHT THE CAR LOCKED THE STEERING AND BREAKS. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS UNABLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND ENDED UP GOING HALFWAY THROUGH THE LIGHT. I TURNED THE CAR OFF THEN BACK ON. IT WAS FINE. ABOUT A MONTH LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED AS WE WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. WE HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE STEERING OR BREAKS. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO OPEN RECALL SO THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT FOR FREE. I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR TWO MONTHS AGO.
MY LIGHTS ARE VERY DIM ON THE INSIDE OF THE CAR AND MY FOB JUST STOP WORKING I HAVE WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE THE BATTERIES HOWEVER IT STILL DOES NOT WORK. MY DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER DOOR IS NO LONGER HOOKED UP TO THE FOB OR THE DOOR UNLOCK/LOCK BUTTON) YOU DO IT MANUALLY
TRANSMISSION SHIFTING IS ROUGH AND IT SCARES MY WIFE TO DRIVE THE CAR. IT HAS 68,000 MILES AND IS MAINTAINED REGULARLY. WE JUST PAID IT OFF AND NOW I FEAR SOMETHING MAJOR IS GOING TO FAIL. I READ AN ARTICLE THAT THERE IS A REPROGRAM OF THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE THAT FIXES THIS, BUT CANNOT FIND A TSB TO TAKE TO THE DEALER.
WE PURCHASED OUR JOURNEY IN 2010, AS ORIGINAL OWNERS. AT ABOUT 10K MILES WE EXPERIENCED SLIGHT SHAKING WHILE APPLYING BREAKS ON THE HIGHWAY. WE TOOK OUR VEHICLE TO DODGE SERVICE AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE ROTORS. WE DRIVE OUR CAR VERY CONSERVATIVELY AND NOW IN 2016 WE HAVE 36K MILES. OUR CAR STARTED EXPERIENCING THE SAME SYMPTOMS. WE TOOK THE CAR TO DODGE SERVICE, WHICH CONFIRMED EXTREME ROTOR WEAR AND EVEN COMMENTED THAT IT WAS PREMATURE WEAR. I CONTACTED DODGE AND THEY REFUSED TO REPLACE ANY PARTS. IN ADDITION, WE RECENTLY (2016) ARE EXPERIENCING RANDOM HORN HONKING. THIS IS INDEED A SAFETY ISSUE AS PROPER HORN FUNCTION IS A REQUIREMENT FOR VEHICLE REGISTRATION.

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.
