2012 Dodge Journey complaints

THE UCONNECT TOUCH SCREEN SYSTEM WENT BLANK AND THE UCONNECT TOUCH HAND CONTROLS ALONG WITH THE SWITCH BANK CONTROLS STOPPED WORKING. THIS MEANS NO HEAT OR AC CONTROL AND NO RADIO/VOLUME CONTROL. EVEN THOUGH THIS HAPPENED IN MID SUMMER, IF IT HAD HAPPENED IN WINTER, THERE IS NO CONTROL OF DEFROST SYSTEM AND A POTENTIAL DRIVING HAZARD. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAULTY TELEMATICS GATEWAY MODULE AND THE WHOLE RADIO SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE REMOVED TO REPLACE IT. COST $800 TO FIX!

CAR HAS PERIODICALLY STALLED WHILE DRIVING 10+ TIMES OVER THE LAST SIX MONTHS. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ATTEMPTED FIXING A COUPLE OF ITEMS...ONE WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND ONE COST OVER $200 TO REPAIR. YET, THE CAR STALLED AGAIN TWO TIMES A MONTH AFTER THE LAST REPAIR. STALLING USUALLY HAPPENS WHILE SLOWING DOWN AND ABOUT TO MAKE A TURN. IT HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES WHILE PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY, WHICH HAS A SLIGHT INCLINE.

WHILE STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY I COMPLAINED THAT THE REAR ROTORS WERE SCORED. REAR BRAKE PADS ARE TOTALLY WORN OUT, AFTERMARKET PADS WERE SUGGESTED, AND PUT ON AT MY EXPENSE OF $270.00. CAR HAS 30,076 MILES ON IT. I WAS TOLD ON 29SEP14 THAT ONCE WARN AND SCORED REAR ROTORS SCORING AGAIN WAS NORMAL. CAR HAS 41,124 MILES ON IT. LAST WEEK CAR WAS AGAIN BROUGHT IN, THE REAR RIGHT REAR BRAKE PAD WAS GONE.I BROUGHT THE CAR TO MARTINS DODGE IN UNION GROVE TO HAVE THE WORK DONE AGAIN. I DID NOT WANT THE FIRST DEALER TO WORK ON THE CAR ANYMORE. CHRYSLER WANTS ME TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS FIRST AT MY EXPENSE. THEN THEY WILL REIMBURSE FOR WHAT THEY THINK IS CORRECT. ESTIMATED REPAIRS ARE OVER $900. SINCE LAST TIME I ONLY DROVE THE CAR 8,000 MILES. WILL THIS HAPPEN TO ME AGAIN IN ANOTHER FEW MONTHS.

I PURCHASED A USED 2012 DODGE JOURNEY IN SEPTEMBER 2015 FROM LAKESHORE CHRYSLER DODGE AND JEEP OF SLIDELL, LOUISIANA. WE HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE DRIVING OFF THE LOT. FOUND OUT AFTER PURCHASE THAT THE CAR WAS NOT INSPECTED PRIOR TO DEALERSHIP RESELLING IT. BEFORE I EVEN GOT HOME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND REPORTED ISSUES. THEY DID THE OIL CHANGE AND INSPECTED THE CAR AND SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE IT WAS "NORMAL NOISES" HOWEVER AFTER COMPLAINING AND COMPLAINING THE WERE ABLE TO LOCATE AND FIX THE ISSUE WITH THE SHIFTING NOISES AND JOLTING. WE ARE STILL EXPERIENCING THE "NORMAL NOISE" OF THREE CLICKS WHEN THE ENGINE TURNS OFF. WE HAVE NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL/COMPUTER ISSUES. THE AIR, RADIO, TOUCH SCREEN, LIGHTS, ALL GOT OFF RANDOMLY. THE SYSTEM WILL NOT RESPOND EVEN IF THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON. IT WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TO. WE HAVE ISSUES WHERE THE CAR ACCELERATES FASTER ON ITS OWN HAVE TO BREAK WHILE CAR STILL TRIES TO ACCELERATE. WE HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE IN THE SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE THE PURCHASE AND THEY "CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE" SO THEY CAN NOT FIX IT. I HAVE PROVIDED NUMEROUS VIDEOS SHOWING AND PROVING THE ELECTRICAL/COMPUTER ISSUES WE ARE HAVING. DODGE REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING TO FIX THE SITUATION. EVERYTHING IS AT OUR EXPENSE. WANTS US TO PAY 150 DIAGNOSTIC FEE ON TOP OF HAVING TO GET RENT-A-CAR FOR THE DURATION OF TIME THE VEHICLE IS IN THE SHOP. THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD MY CAR ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. ONE TIME THEY HAD

AS YOU CAN TELL BY THE PICTURES ATTACHED THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY EITHER AT THE TIME OF INITIAL IMPACT FROM THE OTHER CAR HITTING THE SIDE OF OUR VEHICLE, NOR DID IT DEPLOY WHEN THE VEHICLE ROLLED ON IT'S SIDE AND ROOF.

I'M NOT SURE WHERE THIS FALLS UNDER SINCE I NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE UNTIL THIS PAST SUNDAY. MY HATCH/TRUNK AREA OPENED ONE MINUTE AND WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO OPEN IT AGAIN IT DID NOT OPEN. THERE IS NO WAY TO OPEN IT AND THERE IS NO EMERGENCY LATCH, SWITCH OR ANYTHING TO OPEN IT FROM THE INSIDE. I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. ANY ADVICE WILL BE APPRECIATED.

WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND RADIO AND HEATER WENT OFF. SHE TOOK IT TO OREILLYS AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE ALTENATOR. I REPLACED THE ALTENATOR AND THE HEATER OR DEFROSTER STILL WILL NOT WORK AND THE BATTERY LIGHT IS STILL ON. WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE COMPUTER WITH THIS CAR. THE TURN SIGNALS WERE NOT WORKING CORRECTLY WHEN YOU TURNED ON THE LEFT SIGNAL THE RIGHT SIGNAL WOULD COME ON. REALLY DISSAPOINTED IN THIS CAR AT THIS TIME AND DODGE

ON NOVEMBER 11,2015, WE WERE TRAVELING FROM HOME TO A DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT FOR A SURGICAL PROCEDURE. WE WERE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE 65, IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, GOING AROUND 70 MPH WHEN VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED, ENGINE MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON, AND VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER. WE WERE IN THE RIGHT LANE AND ABLE TO COAST OFF THE HIGHWAY AND AVOID BEING HIT. VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP THAT SOLD IT. THEY WERE ABLE TO CRANK THE VEHICLE AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. BECAUSE OF SAFETY CONCERNS WE PUSHED THEM TO CHECK FURTHER AND THEY THEN SAID THERE WERE A COUPLE OF SENSORS THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED (CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR & CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR). WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING THOSE. THE VEHICLE IS A FAMILY VEHICLE THAT IS USED REGULARLY TO TRANSPORT CHILDREN AND OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS. THERE IS A DEFINITE SAFETY CONCERN WITH A VEHICLE THAT WOULD SUDDENLY LOSE POWER, WITH NO WARNING, AND COULD LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. DODGE SHOULD RECALL UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED.

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WHICH CONTROLS YOUR ABILITY TO TURN ON RADIO, TAPE PLAYER, AND HEATING/AIR CONDITIONING HAS GONE OUT. I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN NOVEMBER 2013, AND IT'S UNFORTUNATE FOR ME THAT I DID. ANOTHER FAILURE OF THIS AUTOMOBILE IS WHEN IT RAINS HEAVILY, MY BACK DOORS FILL WITH RAIN WATER. YOU CAN HEAR IT INSIDE OF THE DOORS. IT MAKES ME BELIEVE THAT THE CAR WAS IN SOME TYPE OF FLOODING CONDITION. MY BACK WHEEL ON THE DRIVE'S SIDE ALSO HAS A BROWNISH-RED TINGE THAT APPEARS TO BE RUST. I AM DISAPPOINTED. DID I SEE THE CORRECT REPORT OF THE RELIABILITY OF THE CAR? WHEN YOU PLACE THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND START, OR USE ANY OF THE MODES ON THE IGNITION, THE SCREEN WAS CONSTANTLY STATING, "LOADING," AND IT TURNED BLACK AND IS OUT. THIS HAPPENED BEFORE IN 2014 AND I THOUGHT THAT MAYBE IT WAS JUST A GLITCH, BUT IT ISN'T.

A RECALL WAS SUBMITTED ON JULY 28, 2015. I LOOKED ONLINE TODAY. I HAVE BEEN SMELLING A SMOKE SMELL, I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL AUGUST 15, 2015 STATING THE ENGINE BEAUTY COVER ON MY VEHICLE MAY DETACH FROM THE ENGINE AND COME IN CONTACT WITH CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND START A FIRE WITHOUT WARNING. THE PART TO FIX THE PROBLEM IS NOT AVAILABLE AND I WILL BE CONTACTED AT ANOTHER TIME WHEN A REPAIR PART IS AVAILABLE. I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY SMALL CHILDREN AND MYSELF. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. IT IS PARKED IN THE GARAGE. ...UPDATED 11/04/15 *BF

MY HUSBAND AND I WERE TRAVELING UP OUR HILL ON FROM OUR HOUSE. IT IS VERY STEEP, LIKE CRESTING THE TOP OF A ROLLERCOASTER. ONCE WE WERE AT THE TOP COMING OVER THE TOP OUR BRAKES GAVE OUT. MY HUSBAND KEPT PUSHING THEM TO THE FLOOR AND STILL NOTHING WORKED. WE HAD TO ROUND A BAD CURVE TOWARDS THE BOTTOM AND HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID HITTING A CAR COMING UP THE ROAD. IN DOING SO MY HUSBAND TRIED TO KEEP CONTROL OF THE CAR BUT ENDED UP VEERING OFF THE ROAD INTO SOMEONE'S YARD WHERE WE HIT A TREE HEAD ON THEN SKIDDED ACROSS THEIR DRIVEWAY AND CRASHED THROUGH THEIR PRIVACY FENCE AND LANDED NOSE DOWN INTO THEIR INGROUND SWIMMING POOL. AND AT NO POINT DID OUR AIRBAGS DEPLOY. WE WERE WEARING SEAT BELTS BUT I ACTUALLY HAD TO GO THE LOCAL URGENT CARE FOR HEAD INJURY AND MY HUSBAND IS SEEING A DR FOR BACK INJURY. OUR HEADRESTS HAD A MECHANISM THAT DEPLOYS IN ACCIDENTS. THAT WAS ALL THAT WORKED. THANK GOD NOBODY WAS IN THE POOL BECAUSE THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. THE POLICE WERE CALLED AND A REPORT FILED.

I WAS USING THE SCISSOR JACK PROVIDED WITH THE VEHICLE TO REMOVE A FLAT LEFT FRONT TIRE WHILE PARKED IN MY GARAGE. THE FLOOR WAS FLAT AND COMPLETELY DRY AND FREE OF ANY OILY CONDITIONS. THE SHIFT LEVER WAS IN PARK, THE BRAKE SET.I POSITIONED THE JACK AS OUTLINED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. I THEN BROKE THE 5 LUG NUTS LOOSE PRIOR TO RAISING THE VEHICLE. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT USING THE JACK AS IT SEEMED TO BE STRAINING TO RAISE THE SUV. I FINALLY GOT IT RAISED TO A LEVEL TO CLEAR THE TIRE FROM THE FLOOR SURFACE. I REMOVED THE TIRE AND JUST AS I DID THIS THE JACK COLLAPSED AND THE VEHICLE DROPPED. THE FENDER WELL JUST BARELY MISSED CRUSHING MY HAND. I TOOK PHOTOS OF THE CONDITION AFTER IT FELL. I REMOVED THE JACK AND THE FRAME WAS TWISTED AND THE LIFTING SCREW WAS BENT. THE JACK DOES NOT HAVE ANY LOAD RATING OR CERTIFICATION MARKINGS. ALL IT SAYS IS 'MADE IN MEXICO' THE FOOT PRINT PAD IT SETS ON LOOKS TOO SMALL TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE SUPPORT. I BROUGHT THE INCIDENT UP TO CHRYSLER REPRESENTATIVES AND THEY JUST MADE WHAT SEEMED TO BE ARBITRARY REMARKS THE ' I MUST HAVE DONE SOME THING WRONG' IN THE PROCESS.MY VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER THE ORIGINAL FACTORY WARRANTY BUT THEY SAID I WILL HAVE TO PAY A $500.00 DEDUCTIBLE. IF THIS JACK FAILED ON A FLAT CONCRETE FLOOR IMAGINE TRYING TO USE THIS DEVICE AND A ANGULAR, GRAVELED ROAD SHOULDER. THIS COULD LEAD TO SOMEONE BEING SERIOUSLY INJURED IN THE FUTURE.
