IN COLD WEATHER (30 DEGREE AND LOWER) THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT LATCH CLOSED AFTER BEING OPENED. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS. I FOUND A YOUTUBE FIX BY PULLING THE CAR HANDLE UP AND USING A SCREWDRIVER TO PUSH THE LATCH EITHER UP OR DOWN THEN CLOSING THE DOOR. HOWEVER TODAY IT HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN ONE DAY THEN THE DOOR OPENED (UNLATCHED) WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT A SLOW SPEED WHILE THE DOOR WAS UNLOCKED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY.

WATER LEAKS FROM THE HOOD BY THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT ON TO THE BATTERY CAUSING THE TERMINALS TO CORRODE OVER TIME. POOR DESIGN FLAW THAT LEFT ME HAVING TO CANCEL A TRIP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART AND WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. AFTERWARDS, THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN TO ATLANTIC CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (555 SUNRISE HWY, WEST ISLIP, NY 11795, 631-422-0123) WHERE A DIAGNOSTIC WAS PERFORMED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS AN UNKNOWN RECALL REGARDING THE DRIVER'S SIDE CYLINDER HEAD.

THIS VEHICLE HAS ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THE DOORS LOCK AUTOMATICALLY WHEN THE TAILGATE IS OPENED. THE RADIO AND CLIMATE CONTROL COME ON BY THEMSELVES EVEN AFTER TURNING IT OFF MULTIPLE TIMES. THE STEERING MAKES A WHINING NOISE ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE TURNING TO THE LEFT. THE AWD AND TRACTION CONTROL IS OFF AND THE SERVICE AWD LIGHT COMES ON. THE CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING WHEN THERE WAS A LOUD "THUMP" IN THE REAR END AND ALL THE TRACTION AND AWD DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON. ALL THESE PROBLEMS ARE EVIDENT AND OCCUR WHILE DRIVING.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR YESTERDAY WHEN THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO GET IT BACK HOME EVERYTHING IN THE CAR STARTED SHUTTING OFF AND THEN THE CAR STARTED STALLING WHILE I WAS ON THE ROAD I BARELY MADE IT INTO A GAS STATION BEFORE THE CAR DIED AND HAD IT TOWED TO TRIPLE A REPAIR SHOP TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTICS DONE ON THE CAR WHICH HAS NOW BEEN STATED TO ME THAT ITS THE ALTERNATOR AND IVE ONLY HAD THE CAR 3 MONTHS BOUGHT IT USED BUT THE BATTERY WENT BAD AND NOW THE ALTERNATOR IN LESS THEN 2 MONTHS OF EACH OTHER ALONG WITH THE ACTUATOR ALSO CLICKING WHEN THE ALTERNATOR WENT OUT. ALL OF THIS HAPPENING IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME. WHEN THE CAR STARTED DYING ALL THE ELECTRICAL LIGHTS WENT OFF THE BRAKES THE ABS THE AIR BAGS EVERYTHING AND THIS WAS ON A BUSY ROAD DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. I BARELY GOT MY CAR TO A SAFE LOCATION AND THAT WAS ONLY BECAUSE MY HUSBAND WAS FOLLOWING BEHIND ME IN HIS CAR. THIS PROBLEM MADE IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO BREAK AT RED LIGHTS AND GET MY CAR MOVING THRU THE INTERSECTION TO THE GAS STATION. AND THE CAR LIGHT WAS ON ABOUT 15 MINUTES MAYBE BEFORE IT FINALLY STALLED OUT THE CAR.

ENGINE LIGHT MULTIPLE TIMES- EMISSIONS CONTROL - LAST TIME TO DEALER THEY STATED THERE IS 4 LEAKS. FOUND ONLINE BUT DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL: IN AFFECTED CARS, FCA WILL REPLACE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND UPDATE SOFTWARE FOR THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE ' THAT IS, YOUR CAR'S PRIMARY DRIVETRAIN COMPUTER. FCA WILL RECYCLE THE OLD CATALYTIC CONVERTER TO REMOVE THE PRECIOUS METALS COMMON IN SUCH DEVICES, A USUAL PRACTICE. 'OBVIOUSLY THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, THAT'S THE BIGGEST PART OF THIS,' CHERNOBY SAID. THE REPLACEMENT CONVERTER HAS A 'DIFFERENT MIXTURE OF PRECIOUS METALS ' TO BE LESS SUSCEPTIBLE TO SULFUR IN THE FUEL,' HE ADDED. DUE TO THE NUMBER OF REPLACEMENT CATALYTIC CONVERTERS NEEDED, THE AUTOMAKER IS RECALLING CARS IN WAVES.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2012 DODGE JOURNEY AND MY CAR POWER JUST SHUT DOWN AND IT WON'T START. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS HARD AND STIFF.MY CAR IS COMPLETELY DISABLED HAD TO GET IT TOW TO MY HOUSE. I TRIED TO START THE CAR IT'S NOT STARTING AT ALL NO PEER NO LIGHTS NOTHING COMPLETELY DEAD

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE ABS FAILED AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE POWER STEERING SEIZED. ONCE RESTARTED, THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000.

GOT MY 2012 DODGE JOURNEY A YEAR AGO LIVE THE RIG BUT HAS ALWAYS HAD ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS STEMMING FROM FUSE BOX. READS -15 ON DASH BOARD AT ALL TIMES, SOMETIMES WON'T START AND CAN WIGGLE FUSE BOX AROUND, YOU CAN HEAR THE SOUNDS OF ELECTRICAL POPS AND THEN WILL START AND DO FINE. TRYING TO SAVE UP FOR NEW ONE BUT OVER THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR NEW ONE. AND ONE MORE ISSUE MY JOURNEY CLEARLY SAYS SXT ON THE VEHICLE BUT THE VIN COMES UP ON YOUR SITE AS AN SE HOW DOES THAT WORK.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MILES PER HOUR, WHEN IT SEEMS LIKE MY STEERING OR THE WHEELS SEEMED "OFF.' I CHECKED TO MAKE SURE ALL OF MY TIRES WERE CORRECTLY PRESSURED AND THEY WERE, SO I KEPT DRIVING. APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES DOWN THE ROAD, WELL GOING APPROXIMATELY 60 MILES PER HOUR THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON POST FLASHING AND WITH AN OFF SYMBOL UNDERNEATH IT IN TWO SEPARATE LOCATIONS. ALSO THE RED LIGHTNING BOLT SYMBOL CAME ON AS WELL. AT THE SAME TIME THAT THE LIGHTS CAME ON MY CAR DECELERATED AT A RAPID PACE, WHICH WAS NOT AT ALL SAFE ON THE HIGHWAY. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED ON MY FLASHERS AND PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER GETTING ON MY PHONE TO SEE WHAT IT COULD BE, I DECIDED THAT I WOULD LIMP HOME WITH THE CAR SO I COULD RESEARCH A LITTLE FURTHER WHAT WAS GOING ON AT HOME. WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME AFTERWARD, THE CAR NEVER GOT FASTER THAN ABOUT 20 MILES PER HOUR AND ACCELERATED AT A VERY, VERY SLOW PACE. THE AIR CONDITIONER NO LONGER WORKED AND WHEN I HAD TO DRIVE UP A VERY SMALL HILL, THE CAR SEEMED LIKE IT WOULD STOP COMPLETELY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ABS AND BRAKE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED. ON ONE OCCASION, THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED AND THEN RESET; HOWEVER, THE TWO INITIAL WARNING INDICATORS REMAINED LIT. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ARRIGO DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM WEST PALM BEACH (6500 OKEECHOBEE BLVD, WEST PALM BEACH, FL 33411, (561) 282-1545) WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED PER TWO UNKNOWN RECALLS; HOWEVER, THE ABS DEFECT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ABS, BRAKE LIGHTS, AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A NEW ABS. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH GREENBRIER DODGE OF CHESAPEAKE (1717 S MILITARY HWY, CHESAPEAKE, VA 23320, (757) 383-9734) AND WAS PROVIDED A REPAIR COST ESTIMATE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) CONTROL MODULE. THERE'S WAS A RECALL FOR OUR 2012 DODGE JOURNEY WHICH THE PREVIOUS OWNERS TOOK CARE OF IN OCT 2015 (THE MONTH AND YEAR OF RECALL). WE PURCHASED IN 2017. A FEW TIME THE ABS LIGHT HAS COME ON BUT ONLY FOR A MINUTE OR 2 SINCE WE BOUGHT IT. TODAY 8/2/2019 IT CAME ON ALONG WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT AND (NO TRACTION LIGHT (THE SWIVELING CAR IMAGE LIGHT). WE HAVE HAD A LOT OF HEAVY RAIN. WE WHERE TOLD BY SERVICING STATION BY DIAGNOSTIC TEST IT WAS THE ABS CONTROL MODULE SYSTEM MALFUNCTION. AND IF WE DID NOT GET FIXED OUR BRAKES COULD LOCK UP AND SYSTEM FREEZE UP. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE THAT WAS CORRECTED IN PAST BUT IS NOW HAPPENING AGAIN. THESE LIGHTS CAME ON JUST AS WE STARED TO DRIVE. WHEN THE CAR WAS RESTING FOR 30 MINUTES AND I WAS LEAVING TO DRIVE TO SERVICE STATION THE BREAK PEDAL WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO PUSH DOWN ( BREAK NEEDS TO BE PRESSED WITH TOUCH BUTTON START). I ALMOST COULDN'T START CAR. THE BREAK FINALLY SOFTENED AND I WAS ABLE TO PRESS DOWN TO START CAR. AT THAT POINT THE LIGHT DID NOT COME BACK ON FOR 5 MINUTES WHILE DRIVING BUT SADLY IT DID COME BACK. I FEEL WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT HAS COME UP AGAIN FROM A PREVIOUS RECALL. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN. IT WAS IN THE PAST AND SHOULD BE AGAIN.

COOLANT LEAK UNDER INTAKE.. REPAIR SHOP SAID HE HAD SAME IDENTICAL VEHICLE COME IN LESS THAN A MONTH AGO SAME CONCERN.. VEHICLE OVERHEATED AND COULD SMELL SOMETHING BURNING AFTER HOURS OF LABOR SERVICE MANAGER SEALED AND REPLACED THE HOSE. BUT SAYS TO CHECK SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL SINCE HE HAD ANOTHER VEHICLE COME IN.

WIRING HARNESS EXITING REAR OF VEHICLE ENTERING INTO REAR HATCH SUPPLYING POWER TO OVERHEAD BRAKE LIGHT, LICENSE PLATE LIGHTS AND HATCH DOME LIGHT IS SEVERED INSIDE RUBBER SLEEVE. I CURRENTLY HAVE NO LIGHTS TO THE REAR HATCH. RUBBER SLEEVE SHOWS NO SIGN OF FATIGUE OR FAILURE BUT WIRES INSIDE ARE SEVERED. LINK IS TO ANOTHER JOURNEY OWNERS VIDEO OF HIS SIMILAR ISSUE ONLY I HAVE SEVERAL BROKEN WIRES NOT JUST ONE. HTTPS://WWW.BING.COM/VIDEOS/SEARCH?Q=2012+REAR+HATCH+LIGHT+REPAIR&VIEW=DETAIL&MID=396EE57BEAE941266444396EE57BEAE941266444&FORM=VIRE . DODGE DEALER SAID NO OPEN RECALLS. PER VIDEO, PROBLEM REPORTED TO DODGE 2016. I HAD NO IDEA OF ISSUE UNTIL OIL CHANGE /INSPECTION TODAY 7/20/2019. FOR SOME REASON DID NOT APPEAR TO HAVE BLOWN ANY FUSES WHICH MEANS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR ARCHING/FIRE. DESIGN/SAFETY FLAW? THE OVERHEAD REAR BRAKE LIGHT WAS INSTALLED FOR A REASON AND SHOULD WORK. I WOULD HAVE TRIED TO INSERT PICTURES BUT I DO NOT OWN A CAMERA. VIDEO LINK ACCURATELY DEPICTS ISSUE EXCEPT IN MY CASE I HAVE SEVERAL SEVERED WIRES. CURRENTLY ONLY THE REAR HATCH LOCK WORKS. QUESTION: ATTEMPT REPAIR OR HAVE A MECHANIC REPLACE WIRING HARNESS? *TR

ABS, AWD SERVICE , THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER AND STOP, HAVE TO TURN CAR OFF AND BACK ON

I'VE SEEN THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THE ABS UNFORTUNATELY MY VEHICLE WAS MADE A MONTH LATER. MY ABS LIGHT, BREAK LIGHT, AIR BAG LIGHT AND THE CAR SLIPPERY LIGHT IS ON.

WHILE DRIVER THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON IN MY VEHICLE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE SEATBELT HARNESS AND SENSOR.

YESTERDAY, WHILE WAITING AT A STOP SIGN MY 2012 JOURNEY SHUT OFF. I HAD NO IDEA IT HAD EVEN SHUT OFF! I PRESSED THE GAS TO GO AND THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE. I WAS A LITTLE BAFFLED BECAUSE THE RADIO WAS STILL PLAYING. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND PRESSED THE IGNITION AND THE CAR STARTED AGAIN. THIS IS LATEST AND MOST UNSAFE ISSUE THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH THIS CAR. THE RADIO RANDOMLY CHANGES STATIONS AND IT DOESN'T SHUT OFF WHEN THE CAR IS SHUT OFF. I HAVE TO TURN THE RADIO OFF BEFORE I TURN THE CAR OFF BECAUSE IT WILL CONTINUE TO PLAY. THIS STARTED ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO. THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND THE DRIVERS DOOR WAS OPENED, BUT THE RADIO KEPT PLAYING. IF I FORGET TO TURN IT OFF BEFORE THE IGNITION, I HAVE TO RESTART THE CAR AND LET THE RADIO PLAY FOR A MIN OR SO BEFORE I CAN TURN IT OFF. ALSO, THE REAR AIR SUDDENLY COMES ON. WHEN I TURN IT OFF IT COMES BACK ON. IF IT'S SYNCED WITH THE FRONT AIR, IT WILL RANDOMLY GO TO THE HIGH SETTING. THE JOURNEY ALSO DOES A JERKING MOTION WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY OR NEIGHBORHOOD ROADS TOO. WE THOUGHT THAT MAYBE IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION, BUT WE HAD IT CHECKED AND IT'S FINE! AFTER YESTERDAY'S SUDDEN SHUTOFF, I'M WONDERING IF ALL THAT JERKING WAS A SIGN OF WHAT WAS TO COME. THE BRAKE LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON FOR A FEW WEEKS AS WELL. I COULD BE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY AND THE BREAK LIGHT COMES ON. IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT, ACCELERATION OR DRIVING AT A CONSTANT SPEED. IT HAPPENS SO FREQUENTLY THAT MY KIDS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START INTERMITTENTLY. NAPLETON'S NORTHWESTERN CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (5950 N WESTERN AVE, CHICAGO, IL 60659, (773) 334-3400) STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE AND THE BATTERY WAS NOT SUCCESSFULLY SUPPLYING A CURRENT TO START THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WATCHED A YOUTUBE VIDEO AND TEMPORARILY REPAIRED THE VEHICLE BEFORE GOING TO THE DEALER. WHEN THE DEALER SAW THE REMEDY THAT WAS PERFORMED, THEY DID NOT SERVICE THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,620.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY HUSBAND AND I SMELT A BURNING OIL LIKE SMELL WHICH WE THOUGHT WAS THE CAR IN FRONT OF US. NOTHING ON THE DASH INDICATED ANY ISSUES. WE ARRIVED HOME AND NOTICED IT WAS OUR CAR THAT THE SMELL WAS COMING FROM. I PARKED THE CAR AND CAME OUT THE NEXT MORNING AND NOTICED A SMALL WET SPOT UNDER MY CAR, THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT AND LEFT FOR WORK. AFTER WORKING ALL DAY I CAME OUT TO FIND ANOTHER SMALL WET SPOT AND ON THE DRIVE HOME THE SAME SMELL. MENTIONED IT TO MY HUSBAND WHO GLANCED UNDERNEATH BUT COULDN'T SEE WHERE THE MOISTURE WAS COMING FROM. DROVE MY CAR TO WORK THE NEXT DAY AND IT STARTED MAKING A LOW GROWLING NOISE. ARRIVED AT WORK AND HAD A MOBIL MECHANIC STOP AND INSPECT THE CAR WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED I HAD A CRACK IN THE TRANSFER CASE. PARKED THE CAR FOR ALMOST A YEAR WHILE I SAVED THE MONEY FOR THE NEW TRANSMISSION I WAS TOLD I NEEDED. GOT THE NEW TRANSMISSION INSTALLED ONLY TO DRIVE IT HOME AND HAVE IT START MAKING A CLICKING SOUND! HAD IT TOWED BACK TO THE TRANSMISSION PLACE WHERE THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE DRIVESHAFT IS BROKEN! DROPPED OFF ANOTHER DRIVE SHAFT TO HAVE INSTALLED AND IT IS ALSO NOW BROKEN. I HAVE A RECALL ON MY CAR FOR THE AIRBAG BUT I CAN'T EVEN GET IT TO THE DEALER TO BE FIXED BECAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION / DRIVESHAFT ISSUES.

AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON WHEN STARTING, GOES OUT THEN COMES BACK ON AND STAYS ON.

AFTER PARKING THE CAR, GOING INTO A STORE AND RETURNING TO THE CAR - IT WOULD NOT START. THE PUSH BUTTON WOULD NOT WORK. NOTHING CAME UP ON THE SCREEN. I WAS STRANDED UNTIL SOMEONE GAVE ME A RIDE. AFTERWARDS, A MECHANIC CHECKED THE VEHICLE. HE SAID THAT THE ALTERNATOR IS GOOD, THE BATTERY IS GOOD, THE STARTER IS GOOD, ALL THE FUSES AND RELAYS ARE GOOD. HE SAID THAT THIS ISSUE SEEMED TO BE RELATED TO A PROBLEM IN THE COMPUTER. I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN DODGE VEHICLES. I HAVE TRIED ALL OF THE TIPS THAT I CAN FIND ONLINE IN VIDEOS AND FORUMS, BUT THE CAR STILL WON'T START. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED ABOUT A MONTH AGO.

RADIO GOES OUT AND VEHICLE NOT ABLE TO BE USED ALL CONTROLS IN HEAD UNIT COMPLAINED ABOUT IT 6 TIMES AND STILL NOTHING CANT OPERATE LIGHTS AND SAFETY EQUIPTMENT

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND MY DRIVER SEAT HEAD REST RANDOMLY DEPLOYED. LUCKILY MY HEAD WAS NOT ON IT AT THE TIME AS I WAS LOOKING IN MY MIRRORS TO MOVE OVER A LANE ON THE INTERSTATE. IF MY HEAD HAD BEEN ON IT AND IT DEPLOYED, THERE'S NO TELLING WHAT COULD'VE HAPPENED, ESPECIALLY SINCE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. I THOUGHT SOMEONE HAD RUN INTO THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE IT WAS SO LOUD. THIS IS NOT SAFE AND SHOULD BE A RECALL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET FIXED, AND IT COST'S OVER $500 TO FIX IT. I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY $500 TO FIX THAT. WHAT HAPPENS IF ANOTHER IS DEPLOYED? THIS NEEDS TO BE CHECKED AND FIXED ON ALL THESE VEHICLE AS IT IS NOT SAFE AND CAN RANDOMLY DEPLOY AT ANY TIME. PLEASE MAKE THIS A RECALL!

ALL THESE VEHICLES HAVE SERIOUS BRAKE PROBLEMS , THEY HAVE TO BE REPLACE VERY OFTEN IF NOT YOU END UP IN AN ACCIDENT , I HAVE BEEN VERY CLOSE , IT'S THE COMPLETE BREAKING SYSTEM THAT'S BAD , JUST CHECK THE SERVICE RECORDS FOR THESE VEHICLES I AM SURE THERE HAVE BEEN MANY ACCIDENTS RELATED TO BRAKE ISSUES .

OVER THE LAST MONTH MY CAR WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN DIE WHILE I AM DRIVING IT. WHEN IT HAPPENS I LOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. I AM NOT ABLE TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC. MY VEHICLE WILL GO FROM 65 MPH TO 0 MPH IN SECONDS AND STOP WHERE I MAY BE. IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIME ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS WEEK IT STARTED TO HAPPEN WHILE ON MAIN ROADS. WHEN IT HAPPENS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON FOR A SHORT TIME AND THE CAR WILL CONTINUE TO TRY AND RESTART ITSELF BUT BY THE TIME I GET THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS OFF AND NOT DIAGNOSTIC CODES ARE FOUND. THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND THE DEFECT IS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE, JERKED, BUCKED, AND THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY AND TRACTION CONTROL INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THERE WAS ALSO A DRASTIC REDUCTION OF SPEED TO THE POINT THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED MOISTURE, AND THAT THE ABS MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER (MAGUIRE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF SYRACUSE, 959 HIAWATHA BLVD W, SYRACUSE, NY 13204, (315) 487-6211) WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V675000 (ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC); HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED THE SAME FAILURE AS THE RECALL CAMPAIGN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,000.

/012 DODGE JOURNEY 2.4 LITTER. WHILE I DRIVE THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL ENGAGE AUTOMATICALLY AT 30 MILES PER HOUR. THE CAR RAPIDLY ACCELERATES. I HAVE TO HIT THE BRAKE TO CANCEL IT OUT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. A LOUD ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. AUTONATION CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM SPRING (21027 I-45, SPRING, TX 77388, (281) 715-6927) DIAGNOSED THAT THE WHEEL WIRING NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 129,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE AND MIDDLE SEAT BELTS FAILED TO UNLOCK AND RELEASE. THE SEAT BELTS HAD TO BE CUT TO RELEASE THE OCCUPANTS. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TACOMA DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (4101 S TACOMA WAY, TACOMA, WA 98409, (253) 475-7300) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SEAT BELTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JOHN L SULLIVAN DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (950 HARTER PKWY, YUBA CITY, CA 95993, (530) 742-6406), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WAS NEEDED. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO A LOCAL DEALER. ADDITIONALLY, A SPECIALIST WOULD BE SENT TO REVIEW THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,000.

THIS ISSUE OCCURRED REGARDLESS IF THE CAR WAS IN MOTION OR STATIONARY. IT ALSO OCCURRED IF THE MOTOR WAS TURNED ON OR NOT. THE LICENSE PLATE LIGHT WAS OUT, BUT IT WAS NOT A BULB ISSUE. THE CENTER REAR BRAKE LIGHT (ON THE TAILGATE) WAS OUT, BUT IT WAS NOT A BULB ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE TAILGATE WIPER WOULD NOT RETURN TO THE HOME POSITION WHEN TURNED OFF. IT WOULD REMAIN WHEREVER IT WAS WHEN THE SWITCH WAS TURNED OFF. THIS WAS A VISIBILITY ISSUE. THE KEY-LESS ENTRY FOB WOULD NOT UNLOCK THE CAR DOORS. THIS WAS NOT A FOB BATTERY ISSUE. THIS WAS VERY PROBLEMATIC FOR PASSENGER DOORS WHICH COULD NOT BE UNLOCKED FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE THE CAR. THIS WAS BROUGHT TO A DEALER FOR REPAIR. THEY DIAGNOSED THE CAR WITH HAVING SPLIT WIRES IN THE LIFT GATE. I AM CONCERNED THAT SPLIT WIRES COULD HAVE CAUSED A SHORT AND EVENTUALLY A FIRE. ADDITIONALLY, A SHORT COULD HAVE CAUSED OTHER ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS OF THE CAR TO FAIL WHILE IN MOTION.

AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY GARAGE FOR THE WEEKEND IT WON'T START. IT SAYS THE KEY FOB IS NOT DETECTED OR IT'S SO DEAD IT WON'T SHOW ANYTHING AT ALL. I GET IT TO START AFTER GETTING JUMPED. IT TAKES ABOUT 5 MINUTES OF BEING HOOKED UP BEFORE IT'S CHARGED ENOUGH TO START. THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY BUT THE BATTERY IS BRAND NEW. MY MECHANIC HAS CHECKED IT MULTIPLE TIMES BUT CAN'T FIND ANY ISSUES. THIS IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING!!!!!! WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON WITH DODGE JOURNEYS???? IT HAS HAPPENED SO MANY TIMES KNOW, IT'S JUST RIDICULOUS!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HESITATED WHILE DRIVING. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD AND THE VEHICLE DECELERATED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANTWERPEN DODGE RAM (5717 BALTIMORE NATIONAL PIKE, CATONSVILLE, MD 21228, (410) 744-7400) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY MAKING A LOUD ABNORMAL HUMMING SOUND. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,269. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

MOTOR BURNED UP CAUSE OF A PIN HOLE LEAK FROM THE RADIATOR THAT WENT INTO THE MOTOR, MIXED WITH THE OIL, BEING OVERHEATED

THE ANTENNAE ALLOWS WATER TO ENTER UNDERNEATH IT, SEEMS ITS NOT FULLY SEALED ALL AROUND AND IT ALLOWS WATER TO ENTER VEHICLE. LINER HAS WATER RINGS AND REAR LEFT FLOOR GETS PRETTY DAMP. SAW THE SAME WATER RINGS IN A 2010 JOURNEY. RUSTING OUT ANY METAL AND OR ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS NOT SEEN.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS OVER THE PAST TWO OR THREE MONTHS, MY VEHICLE LOSES ALL POWER, AND AT SAME TIME THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT AND BRAKES HAVE TO PUSHED EXTRA HARD TO GET THEM TO WORK. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN DRIVING UNDER 40 MPH IN TOWN. IT HAS HAPPENED MOST OFTEN WITHIN THE FIRST 5 MINUTES OF STARTING THE CAR, BUT TODAY IT HAPPENED AFTER I HAD BEEN DRIVING 30 MINUTES ON THE HIGHWAY AND THEN IN TOWN FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. IT HAS HAPPENED WHEN SLOWING DOWN, WHEN ACCELERATING, OR WHEN GOING STABLE SPEED, AS WELL AS BEFORE A TURN, AFTER A TURN, OR WHILE GOING STRAIGHT. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PULL OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD AND STOP, PUT CAR IN PARK, AND RESTART IT. WE TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL CAR REPAIR SHOP TWICE, AND THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG AFTER HOOKING IT TO THEIR COMPUTER. THE CAR HAS 87,756 MILES ON IT. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS IS UNSAFE, AND I'M WORRIED IT COULD HAPPEN AT A DANGEROUS INTERSECTION OR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS MY VEHICLE WILL LOOSE ALL POWER. IF I'M GOING OVER 45 IT USUALLY RESTARTS ITSELF. IF UNDER 40 THE STEERING LOCKS UP, ALL ELECTRICAL SHUTS DOWN AND I CANNOT GET HAZARD LIGHTS OR PULL OVER. I CAN THROW IT INTO NEUTRAL AND HIT THE PUSH-TO-START AND IT RESTARTS. SOMETIMES, LIKE AT STOPLIGHTS, I HAVE HAD TO THROW IT INTO PARK THEN RESTART IT. THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW INSTANCES OF IT NOT RESTARTING NO MATTER WHAT WE TRY. THROUGH TRIAL AND ERROR WE GOT IT TO START AGAIN AFTER SERIOUS ROCKING. I HAVE NOTICED IT HAPPENS MORE IF THE USB PORT OR AUX PORT ARE BEING USED, ALTHOUGH IT HAS HAPPENED A COUPLE OF TIMES WITHOUT THOSE BEING TOUCHED. HAS ONLY BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE MAJORITY OF THE FUNCTIONS WITH MY ON-BOARD ENTERTAINMENT UNIT WENT OUT. DEALERSHIP CAN NOT DIAGNOSE, SAY THEY CANNOT GET THE PROBLEM TO DUPLICATE. I HAVE VIDEOS OF THIS HAPPENING BUT DEALERSHIP HAS NOT BEEN INTERESTED IN SEEING THEM.

I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE SINCE SEPTEMBER 2017. I HAVE HAD IT IN THE REPAIR SHOP TWICE FOR THIS NOT STARTING PROBLEM. IT STARTS WHEN IT WANTS TO. IF YOU TRY AND START IT IT CAN TAKE ANYWHERE FROM 2 MINUTES TO 2 HOURS TO FINALLY DECIDE TO START. I'VE TRIED TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL TO START BUT THAT DON'T WORK EITHER!!! THIS CAR IS A PIECE OF CRAP THAT I HAVE TO CONTINUE TO PAY FOR. CHRYSLER IS WRONG. THEY KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE COMPLAIN. I'M OVER IT!!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, A CHEMICAL ODOR WAS PRESENT. THE CONTACT BECAME ILL FROM THE CHEMICALS USED TO MANUFACTURER THE VEHICLE. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NOT RECEIVED. SALINAS VALLEY FORD LINCOLN (1100 AUTO CENTER CIR, SALINAS, CA) WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH IN INCLEMENT WEATHER, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AND THE BRAKES FAILED TO OPERATE AS INTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V675000 (ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 146,000.

THE ISSUE WITH MY CAR IS THAT THE TRACTION LIGHT TURNED ON IT DOES THIS ALOT IT EVENTUALLY WILL TURN OF ON ITS OWN THEN WHILE I'M DRIVING IT WILL DECIDE TO TURN BACK ON CAUSING MY JOURNEY TO DO A LITTLE STALL. THIS HAPPENS AT RANDOM TIMES AND IS STAYS ON FOR A LONG TIME TO. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I'M DRIVING IT'LL FLASH LIKE IT WANTS TO TURN ON THEN TURN OFF. THIS HAPPENS ON THEY HIGHWAY EVEN DRIVING DOWNTHE STREET

I HAD A ABS LIGHT AND ESC LIGHT APPEAR, PULLED INTO GAS STATION. APPROACHED THE FUEL PUMPS AND PRESSED THE BRAKES AND SLID ON THE ICY PAVEMENT (SNOWY MICHIGAN) INTO THE GAS PUMP PROTECTORS MADE OF CONCRETE. COULDN'T CONTROL THE VEHICLE @~8MPH SLIGHTLY TURNED APPROACHING A GAS PUMP ON WET/ICY CONCRETE.

WHEN OPENING THE BACK HATCH, ALL THE DOORS WILL RANDOMLY LOCK OR UNLOCK. THE HATCH LIGHT DOES NOT WORK. THE REAR WINDOW, BACK HATCH, WIPER CLEANER WILL NOT WORK. ATTACHED IS A PICTURE OF THE WIRING HARNESS FOR THE BACK HATCH. ALL THE WIRES HAVE BEEN CUT JUST FROM REGULAR OPENING AND CLOSING OF THE HATCH DUE TO THE FACT WHERE IT IS LOCATED AND THAT WHEN THE HATCH IS CLOSED IT BENDS ALL THAT WIRING IN HALF. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURE AT LEAST 5 ARE COMPLETELY BROKEN AND MANY MORE ARE ALMOST COMPLETELY CUT.

THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT HEADREST DEPLOYED RANDOMLY WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.

OUR BACK-UP CAMERA GOES DARK FREQUENTLY OR FLIPS UPSIDE DOWN WHILE BACKING UP AND WE ALMOST HIT A CHILDT THAT RAN BEHIND US SUDDENLY. ALSO, THE VEHICLE WON'T SHIFT INTO LOW GEAR WHEN IN AUTOMATIC AND GOING UP HILLS, BUT SHIFTS IN MANUAL,AND IT SUDDENLY JUST SLOWS DOWN WHILE IN DRIVE, WHICH HAS CAUSED US TO ALMOST GET REAR-ENDED SEVERAL TIMES. FINALLY, OUR TIRE SENSORS SHOW LOW PRESSURE, BUT WHEN WE REPLACED THEM ALL THE TIRE SYMBOL STILL SHOWED UP. BECAUSE OUR ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, WE TOOK IT IN FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. WE WERE TOLD THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT WE NEED A SOFTWARE UPDATE THAT WOULD CORRECT ALL THESE PROBLEMS. WE WERE TOLD WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT, BUT IT SEEMS IT SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY ISSUES.

H20 SENSOR WHEN TURNING BUTTON TO HEAT UP CAR IT DOESNT WORK

I HAVE CHANGED MY KEY FOB 3 TIMES AND GOT A NEW BATTERY AND IT STILL SAY KEY IS NOT DETECTED. I HAVE TO GET A JOB EVERY 3 MONTHS TO GET MY CAR STARTED.
