You can read online anywhere that the ECU is a MAJOR problem. My car battery dies everytime i shut it off. Ive replace the battery 8 times, the alternator 4 times. Had countless amout of diagnostic tests done on it. Still nothing. Come to find out its the ECU which i cant afford to replace as its over $800 to repair. Look online and you'll see almost everyone with a journey has this problem. When it causes my car to shut off while driving, it becomes a serious safety issue as i always have 4 small children with me. 3 three year olds and a 6 year old. Nobody wants a dodge because of the problems associated with it. Please fix this. Please.

THE BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE WITHIN THE LAST 8 MONTHS AND 2 YEARS PRIOR TO THAT. THE DAY PRIOR TO LATEST EPISODE, THE CAR WAS DRIVEN FOR OVER 200 MILES AND THERE WAS NO NOTATION OF PROBLEMS ON THAT DAY. THE NEXT DAY THE CAR WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. IT HAD BEEN 18 HOURS SINCE CAR WAS DRIVEN. THE LIGHTS, RADIO, AND POWER WORKED, BUT BRAKE WOULD NOT DEPRESS AND DASH STATED KEY FOB COULD NOT BE DETECTED. WITHIN 5 MINUTES TRYING TO START CAR, ALL POWER AND LIGHTS QUIT WORKING. A NEIGHBOR CAME TO JUMP START THE CAR BUT IT WOULD NOT HOLD.

REVERSE LIGHTS ARE INOP BECAUSE OF A BAD BACKUP SWITCH WHICH IS LOCATED ON OR IN THE TRANSMISSION.

VEHICLE HAS REPEATEDLY HAD PROBLEMS STARTING AFTER DRIVING FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME. IT WILL START COLD, NO PROBLEM. BATTERY AND STARTER ALL CHECKED AND TESTED AS GOOD. IT IS BELIEVED TO BE DUE TO A BAD GROUND CONNECTION, BUT NOT 100% SURE. MY WIFE AND CHILDREN HAVE BEEN STRANDED SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO THIS ISSUE. MANY TIMES, THE VEHICLE WILL HAVE TO BE TURNED OFF FOR AT LEAST 30 MINUTES (SOMETIMES UP TO 2 HOURS) BEFORE IT WILL START.

BOTH CATALYST CONVERTS WENT OUT AT THE SAME TIME AND FAILED MY GA EMISSIONS TEST. THERE IS A PERMANENT CODE. I ONLY HAD THIS SUV A YEAR AND HAVE ALREADY REBUILT THE TRANSMISSION, ALONG WITH CALIBER ISSUES. I WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN DIDN'T MATCH THE U67 CATALYST EMISSION RECALL THAT INCLUDED MY VEHICLE DESCRIPTION, TRIM, MAKE AND MODEL. THE RECALL SHOULD HAVE EXPANDED TO 3.6 LITERS AS WELL, CONSIDERING THE PROBLEM IS AN EXACT MATCH. I EXPECT DODGE WILL RECTIFY THIS EMISSIONS PROBLEM, CONSIDERING THAT GA RESIDENTS WILL FIND THIS SUV USELESS IN SUCH A STRICT EMISSION STATE.

MY CARS BATTERY LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND THEN IT STARTS GOING OVER THE 4000 RPM POINT AND NOT GOING MORE THAN 20MPH AND THEN DIES...I'VE REPLACED ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY BOTH 4 TIMES IN 4 MONTHS AND IT KEEPS HAPPENING.

1) CRUISE CONTROL NOT WORKING AND ONLY WORKS WHEN IT WANTS OR REFUSES TO TURN OFF THIS HAPPENS SITTING STILL, DRIVING OR EVEN IF I TURN OFF AND ON THE CAR FOR RESET IT STILL DOES NOT WORK. THE WEB SHOWS A RECALL BUT THE DODGE DEALERSHIP SAID NO RECALL? THIS HAS BEEN ON GOING SINCE WE PURCHASED THE CAR AND HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES TO GET REPAIRED AND STILL NOT REPAIRED. 2) WHEELS SHAKE WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES I HAVE REPLACED THE ROTTERS AND BRAKES AND IT STILL DOES IT I SEE A RECALL ON THIS ALSO BUT DODGE SAYS NO RECALL? AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WITHOUT CAUSE THE INTERNET SAYS RECALL AND THE DODGE HOUSE SAYS NO RECALL? THIS DODGE JOURNEY HAS MANY PROBLEMS AND SHOULD BE FIXED BY THE COMPANY BY RECALLS. THEY DID NOT FIX THE 2010 AND THEY FOUND THEM SELVES IN A LAWSUIT, MAYBE THAT IS WHAT IT IS GOING TO TAKE ON THE 2011 ALSO.

THE AIR BAGS ARE SUPPOSE TO BE RECALLED DUE TO DEPLOYMENT AND WHEN I REACHED OUT TO THE DODGE HOUSE THEY SAID NO RECALLS?

SHAKING IN CAR AND STEERING WHEEL WHEN I APPLY THE BREAKS. THIS IS SUPPOSE TO BE A RECALL BUT DODGE HOUSE SAYS NO RECALLS? I REPLACED THE ROTTERS AND BRAKES AND IT STILL DOES IT AT ANY SPEED ABOVE 30 MPH. HAS BEEN ON GOING SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE.

WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED, BACK IN FEBRUARY. OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS THE VEHICLE HAD SPORADICALLY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE ENGINE COMPLETELY STOPS WHILE MOVING. SOME TIMES IT TAKES MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO TURN IT BACK ON AFTER SHUTTING DOWN AND OTHER TIMES IT WILL TURN BACK ON. WE HAVE ALREADY HAD THE CAR LOOKED AT AND HAD SOME RECALL WORK DONE TO IT, BUT THIS KEEPS HAPPENING EVEN SO. IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY WHILE GOING 40 MPH, 2 SECONDS BEFORE THE CAR STALLED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN THE CAR STOPPED WHILE DRIVING. THANKFULLY THE PERSON BEHIND ME WAS NOT FOLLOWING TOO CLOSE BECAUSE THEY ALMOST HIT ME WHEN THE CAR STOPPED MOVING. I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET WITH MODERATE TRAFFIC AROUND ME, SO I AM LUCKY THAT NO ONE HIT ME WHEN THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND PUT MY HAZARDS ON, WHILE WAITING TO RESTART THE CAR. THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AND I AM SURE THIS WON'T BE THE LAST.

ALTINATER SHORTED OUT FRIED RESET AND BATTERY WHILE DRIVING LOST ALL POWER LUCKILY WE WERE COMING OUT OF A PARKING LOT BUT GOT LOCKED IN THE CAR GOT ONE DOOR TO UNLOCK

MIL ILLUMINATES INDICATING CAM SHAFT POSITION SENOR AND MULTIPLE OTHER CODES AT START UP OR HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS ALSO CUTS OFF THE STABILITY CONTROL AND PUTS THE CAR IN ,IMP MODE. THE CAR WILL ALSO STALL WITHOUT WARNING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS CREATING AN UNSAFE CONDITION. DEALERSHIP CURRENTLY EVALUATING ISSUE FOR CAM SHAFT PHASER FAILURE. THIS OCCURS AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK HOWEVER THE MOST RECENT INCIDENCE ON 6/14/2019 RESULTED IN THE CAR STALLING WHILE TURNING RESULTING IN LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKING. THE CODE ALWAYS RESETS AFTER A DRIVING CYCLE IS COMPLETED BUT COMES BACK IN A DAY OR SO. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT EARLY 3.6 L ENGINES FOR 2011 HAD AN ISSUE WITH CAM SHAFT PHASER BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR MY VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 35 MPH, THE CONTACT SAW SMOKE EMITTING FROM THE HOOD WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT PULLED TO THE SIDE AND ADDED SOME COOLANT BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED AFTER DRIVING 5 MORE MINUTES. THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND THE CONTACT SAW FLAMES FROM THE ENGINE. THE FIRE MOMENTARILY EXTINGUISHED ITSELF. THE STEERING WHEEL THEN COULD NOT TURN AND THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE ALTERNATOR AND WIRING WERE DAMAGED SUE TO THE FAILURE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS KNOWN BUT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 139,000.

AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, ABS, BRAKE, AND TRACTION CONTOL LIGHT ILLUMINATE. OCCASIONALLY LIGHT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE. VEHICLE APPEARS TO DRIVE AND STOP NORMALLY, BUT DRIVING WITHOUT ABS AND TRACTION CONTOL DECREASES STOPPING PERFORMANCE AND CAPABILITIES. CERTIFIED MECHANIC DIAGNOSED PROBLEM INDICATING WATER DAMAGE CONSISTANT WITH THE CURRENT RECALL R61 / NHTSA 15V-675 FOR THE 2012-2015 MODELS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS PLACED IN DRIVE; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS AN UNKNOWN TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

TAKATA RECALL AIRBAG LIGHT HAS GONE OFF NUMEROUS TIMES AND I'VE RESET IT NUMEROUS TIMES, THIS PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO FOR THE AIRBAG LIGHT ALSO THE CLIMATE CONTROL POWER BUTTON AND THE TOUCH SCREEN FOR THE CAR INTERIOR FAN WILL TURN ON WITH NOBODY TOUCHING IT, I WILL TURN IT OFF AND IT WILL TURN BACK ON AUTOMATICALLY I KEEP TURNING IT OFF AND IT KEEPS TURNING ON I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THIS BUT IT'S BEEN GOING ON SINCE I GOT THE CAR NEED HELP FINDING OUT WHAT'S GOING ON GETTING TIRED OF THESE PROBLEMS.

THE CAR FEELS LIKES IT'S PULLING AND SOMETIMES IT WON'T ACCELERATE.

ON 1/30/2019 AT 10:15 PM I STARTED MY PARKED 2011 DODGE JOURNEY TO WARM IT UP FOR WORK. IT IMMEDIATELY BLEW THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM BECAUSE IT WAS FRIGID OUTSIDE. THE POWER STEERING COOLER AND RETURN LINE HOSE ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED WITH PARTS FROM THE DEALER ORDERED BY THE BUSINESS THAT MADE THE REPAIRS. TOTAL FOR PARTS AND LABOR WAS $814.22. THIS REPORT IS BEING FILED IN REGARDS TO CAMPAIGN 16V273000. I FEEL THIS IS IDENTICAL TO WHAT HAPPENED AND I AM SEEKING A FULL REFUND FOR MY REPAIRS NEEDED.

MILEAGE ON VEHICLE 55312 MILES. ABS LIGHT STAYS ON AFTER STARTING. FAULT FOUND BY DEALER IS THE ORC MODULE PART #68163807AB (AKA) AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE. PART DEFECT AFFECTS ABS AND AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. IDENTIFIED AS SAFETY ISSUE CURRENTLY WITHOUT A FACTORY RECALL.

MY 2011 DODGE JOURNEY ON THE DRIVER SIDE HEAT BLOWS HOT ON THE PASSAGE SIDE IT BLOWS CODE. THIS HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING OR WHEN IT'S STARTED TO WARM UP THE PASSAGE SIDE IT BLOWS COLD EVEN WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN FROM 15 MINUTES.

MY CAR HAS 132K MILES AND I'M REPLACING THE BRAKES ON THE FRONT FOR 8TH TIME AND THE BACK FOR THE 3RD TIME. CAN'T SEEM TO GET MORE THAN 15-20K MILES OUT OF A SET OF PADS AND ROTORS. LAST TWO TIMES I NEEDED SERVICE THE BRAKE CALIPERS HAD SEIZED SHREDDING THE FAIRLY NEW ROTORS WHICH WERE SO HOT THAT I FEARED THE CAR WOULD CATCH ON FIRE.

I HAVE HAD AN ONGOING ISSUE, OVER THE PAST ALMOST THREE YEARS WITH NOT HAVING HEAT ON THE PASSENGER AND REAR OF MY VEHICLE. THE SYSTEM HAS BEEN FLUSHED MULTIPLE TIMES, THERMOSTAT REPLACED, ACTUATOR DOORS CHECKED AND REPLACED, AND MY HEATER CORE REPLACED TWICE ALREADY. THE INTERVENTIONS FIX THE PROBLEM FOR A SHORT PERIOD AND THEY IT IS BACK TO ONLY COOL AIR. THE COOLANT PRESSURE IS FINE AND THE CAR DOES NOT OVERHEAT. THERE IS NO CHANGE WHEN DRIVING OR IN PARK.

THE CAR WAS FINE THEN THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON FOR THE CAR AND THE CAR SHUT OFF ON ME BEFORE I MADE IT HOME HAD TO BE TOWED. PUT A NEW BATTERY WENT TO WORK ON THE WAY GONE THE CAR SHUT OFF ON ME AGAIN. NOW IT HAS TO BE TOWED TO THE SHOP.

I BELIEVE THAT MAYBE THE LOCATION OF THE BATTERY HAS CAUSED OVERHEATING PROBLEMS THAT HAVE CAUSED THE VEHICLE NOT TO START. THE WHOLE CAR WILL TURN ON (AC, LIGHTS, RADIO) EXCEPT FOR THE ENGINE AND IT HAS LEFT MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN STRANDED IN EXTREME WEATHER CONDITIONS. THE CAR INTERMITTENTLY TURNS ON AND THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR ONE YEAR NOW. IT CAN TAKE ANYWHERE FROM 20 MINUTES TO 3 HOURS BEFORE THE CAR TURNS BACK ON.

"TAKATA RECALL": LOCAL DODGE DEALER, INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE PART(S), THEN TOLD MY WIFE THE 'ACTUAL STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG' WASN'T WORKING AND DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR. THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR, REPLACE OR FIX UNLESS WE PAID THE COST FOR A NEW AIRBAG,WHY ISN'T THE AIRBAG PART OF THE RECALL? WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY ACCIDENTS IN THIS VEHICLE NOR ANYTHING THAT WOULD, COULD DAMAGE THE AIRBAG.. SINCE THE DEALER IS STATING THE PROBLEM IS ELECTRICAL, IN THE SAFETY SYSTEM, SHOULD THIS BE CLASSED AS A 'SAFETY' ISSUE AND REPAIRED BY THE DEALER..

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WIRE HARNESS UNDERNEATH THE DRIVER'S SEAT WAS CAUSING THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR TO ILLUMINATE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED.
