2014 Dodge Journey complaints

AS I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON THE CITY STREET I LOST ACCELERATION POWER, THE TRACTION LIGHT AND THE RED LIGHTNING BOLT CAME ON. MY CAR SPEED DECREASED AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE TO OVER 12 MILES AN HOUR. I WAS ON A CITY STREET WITH A SPEED LIMIT OF 40 MILES AN HOUR WHEN THE POWER DECREASES AND ANOTHER VEHICLE ALMOST RAN INTO MY TRUCK AS I WAS TRYING TO MAKE IT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. MY CAR HAS CODED THE SAYING THAT MY THROTTLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE THROTTLE WAS REPLACED AND THE CAR TRACTION LIGHT AND THE LIGHTNING BOLT STILL APPEARED ON THE DASH. THE CAR WILL NOT INCREASE TO OVER 12 MILES AN HOUR. MY CAR IS AT THE SHOP AND THE MECHANIC HAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES SHOULD BE ON RECALL BECAUSE THERE HAS BEEN AT LEAST 6 DODGE'S THAT HE HAS REPAIRED WITH THE SAME ISSUE.

WHILE CLEANING MY VEHICLE IN MY DRIVE WAY I NOTICED A COMPARTMENT UNDER MY STEERING WHEEL SHOWING. I THEN TOOK IT TOO A DODGE DEALERSHIP FOR A RECALL THAT I RECEIVED IN THE MAIL AND I ALSO ASKED ABOUT THE CLOTH LIKE MATERIAL SHOWING UNDER MY STEERING WHEEL. THE YOUNG MAN NOTIFIED ME THAT IT WAS THE AIRBAG COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE STEERING WHEEL AS WELL AS A SENSOR/ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. I AM A NEW MOM TO BE AND HAVING A NEWBORN IN THIS VEHICLE IS UNEXCEPTIONABLE. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY A FEW YEARS OLD WITH SO MANY RECALLS. IM SO DISAPPOINTED

I HAVE HAD MY CRUISE CONTROL SENSOR REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES WITHIN THE LAST TWO YEARS DUE TO IT NOT ACTIVATING. AFTER THE LAST REPAIR WITHIN 3 MONTHS IT AGAIN STOPPED ACTING ATING. THIS WAS ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO. 3 WEEKS AGO I WENT TO RELEASE MY PARKING BRAKE AND HEARD A LOUD THUD SOUND. THE FOOT PEDAL WOULD NO LONGER CATCH AND SIMPLY MADE A CLICKING SOUND. I HAD ALREADY SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR DECEMBER 16, 2019 TO REPAIR MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER DUE TO A RECALL THAT HAD BEEN ISSUED AND LET THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT KNOW I HAD CONCERNS WITH WHAT POSSIBLY COULD BE MY EMERGENCY BRAKE CABLE. THEY TOLD ME I COULD PAY TO GAVE IT DIAGNOSED BUT I LET THEM KNOW I WOULD HAVE TO RESCHEDULE. WITHIN THIS LAST WEEK MY TRUCK HAS BEEN FLASHING THE TRACTION WARNING LIGHT AS WELL AS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SENSOR LIGHT WHICH SEEMS TO COME ON SPORADICALLY. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LINE COULD HAVE BEEN CAUGHT THROUGH A RECALL FOR APPROXIMATELY 276,000 MODEL-YEAR 2012-15 DODGE JOURNEY SUVS MANUFACTURED BETWEEN APRIL 21, 2012, AND APRIL 14, 2015. THIS SEAL OF THE WIRING HARNESS MAY HAVE PREVENT WATER FROM GETTING INTO THE SYSTEM ON MY TRUCK. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH THE PROBLEM MAY BE MY SPEED SENSOR, WHICH IS A MAJOR COMPONENT OF THE ABS SYSTEM. THE CONSTANT REPLACING OF THE CRUISE CONTROL MAY HAVE BEEN A SIGN THAT THIS SYSTEM WAS BEING AFFECTED.

PROBLEM STARTED WITH 2014 DIDGE JOURNEY SXT GOING INTO LIMP MODE. CODE THAT APPEARED WERE THROTTLE BODY SENSOR, CHANGED THAT. IT WENT INTO LIMP MODE IMMEDIATELY AFTER AND CODE WAS THROTTLE BODY, CHANGED THAT. IT WENT INTO LIMP MODE IMMEDIATELY AGAIN. SAME CODES. SENT TO SHOP THEY SAID IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION, $220 FOR AN OVERHAUL OF THAT. 2 TO 3 WEEKS AFTER, LIMP MODE AGAIN. SAME CODES. BROUGHT IT TO DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THE DIAGNOSIS IT SAYING I NEED A NEW PCM AND WIRE HARNESS. THOSE ITEMS WERE REPLACED. 2 TO 3 WEEKS AFTER THAT WORK. CAR GOES INTO LIMP MODE AGAIN WHILE ON THE HWY. CAR IS CURRENTLY AT DODGE DEALERSHIP AGAIN, NOW THEY'RE SAYING IT'S THE STARTER CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN SINCE JULY 2019 AND IS STILL ONGOING, LAST LIMP MODE WAS SUNDAY DECEMBER 15, 2019. I HAVE TONS OF DOCUMENTATION OF THE WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE PLEASE ADVISE IF YOU SHOULD NEED ANY

PURCHASED MY 2014 DODGE JOURNEY IN FEBURARY 2019. BEFORE HAVING COUPLE RECALLS DONE ON MY I HAD NO LIGHTS ON MY DASH BOARD EVER SINCE PURCHASED MY CAR. THEN I HAD RECALL T47 DONE ON MY CAR IN APRIL 2019 THERE BEGINS TO START RANDOMLY FLASHING THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT LIGHT ON MY DASHBOARD. COULD BE IN PARK OR IN GEAR THE LIGHT WILL APPEAR AND STAY ALL AT RANDOM. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP TO SCHEDULE AN ADDITIONAL RECALL AND INFORMED THEM OF THIS AIRBAG LIGHTING ISSUE. WAS TOLD THAT IT CAUSED FROM MY SEATBELT WIRING. IF THAT WAS THE CASE THEN THE LIGHT WOULD HAVE CAME ON BEFORE EVER HAVING ANY RECALLS DONE MORE SPECIFICALLY THE T47 RECALL FOR EXACTLY THAT ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAG WIRING. THEN THE GUY ATTEMPTS TO PROVIDE ME WITH A QUOTE ON HOW MUCH THEY WERE GOING TO TRY AND CHARGE ME TO HAVE IT FIXED !! I DONT KNOW WHAT YOU WOULD CALL THIS BUT I KNOW IT CAN NOT BE LEGAL !! PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND HELP STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING TO ANYONE ELSE WHO USES THIS DEALERSHIP !!!

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY CARS HEADRESTS RATTLE AND MOVE LOOSELY IN POSITION. THERE ARE ALSO NO RUBBER SUPPORT PIECES AROUND THE INCERT/ADJUSTMENT BEAMS TO SECURE THE HEADREST IN PLACE PROPERLY.

THE RADIO WILL RANDOMLY TURN STATIONS AND JUST COMPLETELY GO BLACK. THE A/C TURNS ITSELF ON AND OFF. THE AIRBAG LIGHTS KEEP RANDOMLY COMING UP AND THEN GO AWAY.THIS ALL HAPPENS RATHER I'M DRIVING FAST, SLOW, OR STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND HAS HAPPENED SINCE PURCHASING THE CAR A YEAR AGO. I'M ALSO HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON WITH IT BEING THE P0420. I ONLY USE MID GRADE GAS AND ONLY FROM EXXON OR CHEVRON. I ALSO MAKE SURE THE GAS CAP IS ON TIGHTLY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL BE ON ONE DAY AND NOT THE NEXT.

MY VEHICLE HAS SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING THREE TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH. ALL THREE TIMES WERE AT LOW SPEEDS WHILE PULLING INTO A DRIVEWAY. I THEN PUT IT IN PARK, PRESSED MY IGNITION BUTTON TO OFF, THEN PUSHED THE IGNITION BUTTON WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND IT STARTED ALL THREE TIMES ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT. WHEN IT SHUT OFF, I LOST POWER STEERING ALL THREE TIMES, SO THANKFULLY I WAS AT LOW SPEED. I DO CURRENTLY HAVE CODE P0016 WHEN I SCAN IT WITH MY READER. I HAD A LOCAL MECHANIC CHANGE 1 OF MY CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSORS BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT AUTOZONE RECOMMENDED. THAT DIDN'T SOLVE ANYTHING. THEN I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT DODGE OF BLOOMINGTON, MN TO HAVE A LUGNUT REPAIRED AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FURTHER DIAGNOSED. THEY REPLACED THE LUGNUT BUT TOLD ME THEY DIDN'T HAVE TIME LEFT IN THE DAY TO LOOK AT LIGHT, AND SAID NO RENTAL VEHICLES WERE AVAILABLE, WHICH IS ODD CONSIDERING THE 500 VEHICLES IN THEIR LOT. SO I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT COON RAPIDS CHRYSLER AND THEY DUG AROUND FOR THREE HOURS, TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING BUT CHARGED ME $500. AGAIN NO RENTALS HERE EITHER. HOW FAR DO WE DIG, I HAVE 297,000 MILES BUT OTHER THAN THIS RECENT ISSUE, VEHICLE HAS BEEN GOOD. HAPPY TO INCLUDE ANYTHING EXTRA YOU WOULD LIKE. I DID HAVE COON RAPIDS CHRYSLER REPLACE A CAMSHAFT IN SPRING OF 2019 WHEN ENGINE WAS TICKING. THAT SOLVED THE TICKING. I DID NOTICE MY TICK IS BACK TO ABOUT 75% OF THE SOUND IT WAS IN THE SPRING AFTER MY NOVEMBER 29TH ATTEMPTED DIAGNOSIS AT COON RAPIDS. TYPING ON MY PH

MY 2014 DODGE JOURNEY WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVE WAY, I TRIED TO START UP THE CAR AND IT DID NOT WANT TO TURN ON. ON THE DASH THE FOLLOWING APPEARED AND FLASHED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE TURNING OFF: A RED LIGHTNING BOLT AND AIRBAG. THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT ALSO FLASHED IN YELLOW HOWEVER IT DID STAY ON. I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT IT NEEDED A BATTERY REPLACEMENT SO WITH BATTERY JUMPER CABLES WE ATTEMPTED TO GET THE JOURNEY TO START AND IT REFUSED TO START EVEN AFTER LEAVING THE CARS CONNECTED FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. I READ SOME FORUMS ONLINE AS MORE PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE WITH THEIR DODGE JOURNEY'S (RANGING FROM 2009-2016 MODELS) TWO GENTLEMEN STATED IF YOU PLACE THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND THEN START THE VEHICLE IT WOULD CRANK UP HOWEVER MY CAR DID NOT. THE BRAKE PEDAL SEEMS STUCK AND EXTREMELY HARD TO PRESS DOWN AS WELL BUT THAT'S USUALLY LIKE THAT FOR ME ON ANY GIVEN DAY TO START MY CAR. I ATTEMPTED TO START UP THE VEHICLE AGAIN WITHOUT USING JUMPER CABLES AND THE DASH THEN STATED IT DID NOT DETECT THE KEY BUT THE KEY WAS INSIDE THE CAR WITH ME, AGAIN ALL LIGHTS TURNING ON, FLASHING AND THEN TURNING OFF ONLY FOR TRANSMISSION LIGHT TO STAY ON. I AM AWARE THERE ARE SOME PREVIOUS AND MORE RECENT RECALLS WITH THIS VEHICLE AND I'VE HAD TWO REPAIRED HOWEVER THE DEALER DOES NOT MAKE IT EASY FOR THE JOB TO BE DONE, EITHER PARTS NEED TO BE ORDERED AND ARE NOT IN TO SOMEONE NOT REACHING OUT WHEN THEY'RE READY AS WELL AS BEING TOLD MY CAR WOULD NEED TO STAY THERE OVERNIGHT TO SEVERAL DAYS AS THEY

DODGE STATES THERE IS A RECALL ON THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THE DEALER WILL REPLACE THE PART BUT STATES THAT IT IS A BOLT IN BOLT OUT PART AND THE LABOR TO GET TO THE PART WILL BE $1100. THE LABOR IS NOT COVERED. I ALSO CONTACTED CORPORATE DODGE AND I WOULD NEED TO PAY AND BE REIMBURSED. DODGE CONTACTED US FOR THE RECALL, WE DID NOT INITIATE THE ISSUE.

THE BACK UP CAMERA IS INTERMITTENT AND DOES NOT WORK. THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE GAUGE IS OFF BY 20 DEGREES THE TIRE PRESSURE GAUGE DOES NOT WORK. THIS ALL HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED. THE BACK UP CAMERA DOES NOT WORK WHEN I PUT IT IN REVERSE.

THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER HAS BEEN REPLACED 2 TIMES IN LESS THAN 7 MONTHS BECAUSE IT KEEPS BURNING UP. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THE 2014 DODGE JOURNEY BECAUSE THIS IS NOT A CHEAP FIX!!!

IN THE PAST TWO YEARS I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. THE A/C TURNS ON ALL ON ITS OWN. THE RADIO CHANGES CHANNELS ON ITS OWN BUT MOST IMPORTANT THIS MORNING 23 OCT 2019 MY 2014 DODGE JOURNEY COMPLETELY SHUTDOWN WHILE I WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD SAFELY.

I JUST BROUGHT A 2014 DODGE JOURNEY ON JULY OF 2018 AND I HAD TWO PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION , FIRST PROBLEM IT WAS LEAKING THEN I GOT IT FIX LIKE 5 MONTHS AGO NOW THE TRANSMISSION HAS A BIGGER PROBLEM THAT IT HAVE TO REBUILD OR REPLACE WAITING FROM THE DECISION FROM THE MECHANIC WITH THE RESULTS OF WHAT TO DO , THE SHOP WHERE I TOOK THE VEHICLE SAY THAT I WASN'T THE FIRST PERSON THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME VEHICLE AND I WAS THE FORTH PERSON WITH THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AND THAT HE IS SURPRISE THAT THEY ARE NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE SO I AM VERY UPSET WITH THIS ISSUE AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE A COMPLAINT ABOUT IT

OUR 2014 DODGE JOURNEY'S ENGINE IS CONSUMING OIL WITH NO WARNING. WITH NO WARNING LIGHT/ALARM OR PUDDLES OF OIL ON THE GROUND, I HAD TO ADD OVER 3 QUARTS OF OIL TO THE ENGINE. DUE TO THIS, THE ENGINE HAS FAILED BEYOND REPAIR. THIS WAS PRESENTED IN THE MANNER OF HARSH CLANKING AND BANGING WITHIN THE ENGINE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED TO A LOCAL SHOP, IT WAS FOUND THAT METAL SHARDS WERE CONTAINED WITHIN THE OIL FILTER. THE VEHICLE NOW DOESN'T RUN CORRECTLY EVEN WHEN NOT IN MOTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE COMPUTER SYSTEM WAS FAILING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PAUL SHERRY CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (937-778-0830, LOCATED AT 8645 N COUNTY ROAD 25A, PIQUA, OH 45356) WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED AND REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. IN ADDITION, THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS WAS CORRODED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT A RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED IN 2018 PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V675000 (ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT A PORTION OF THE WIRING HARNESS MAY BE REPAIRED FREE OF CHARGE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 120,000.

A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON AT FIRST IT WOULD COME AND GO FOR SECONDS NOW WHEN I TURN ON MY CAR THE LIGHT STAYS ON. I HAVEN'T BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS. AND HAVEN'T BEEN IT.

I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE IN 2017. BEFORE A YEAR OF OWNING IT I GOT INTO A WRECK BECAUSE MY CRUISE CONTROL WOULDNT TURN OFF AND INSTEAD STARTED ACCELERATING MORE. THEN I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO WAY. SHORTLY AFTER THE REST OF MY SYSTEMS STARTED TO GO ALONG WITH IT NOW IT'S BEEN ABOUT 6 MONTHS AND I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT CAN NO LONGER MOVE OR SO ANYTHING. ONCE MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER WENT OUT IT STARTED CLOGGING THE REST OF MY SYSTEM. AS OF SEPTEMBER 2019 MY ENGINE IS NOW COMPLETELY GONE BECAUSE OF ALL THE BACK UP NOT BEING PROCESSED BY MY CATCON

HEADREST DEPLOYING RANDOMLY. NO ACCIDENT. COMMAND OUT TO CAR ONE DAY AND HEADREST WAS DEPLOYED. AFTER RESEARCH AND LOOKING HEADREST PLASTIC CLIP HAVE FAILED AND CAUSED HEADREST TO DEPLOY

THE DRIVERS SIDE HEADREST AIRBAG DEPLOYED BY ITSELF. NO ACCIDENT INVOLVED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BETTENHAUSEN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (8355 W. 159TH STREET, TINLEY PARK, IL 60477, 708-580-7103) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SHIFTER MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,252. *JS

ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT DEPLOYED WHILE THE CAR WAS STATIONARY. UPON INVESTIGATION, SMALL CLIPS WITHIN THE HEADREST SNAPPED, CAUSING THE HEADREST TO DEPLOY, EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO COLLISION TO THE VEHICLE, SHOOTING TOWARD THE PASSENGER'S HEAD

CAR SHUTS OFF AT SPEED HAS LIGHT ON ON DASH NOT SURE WHAT IT IS

MY CRUISE CONTROL QUIT WORKING AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND IT WOULDN'T TURN OFF. THE DOORS STARTED LOCKING AND UNLOCKING BY THEMSELVES. I WENT TO CHURCH AND STOPPED AT FOOD CITY AFTERWARDS. I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND PUT IT IN REVERSE AND I CAN SMELL SOMETHING WEIRD AND IT WAS LIKE THE BRAKE WAS STUCK AND IT WAS HOLDING BACK. I PROCEEDED BECAUSE I WAS IN TRAFFIC AND NEEDED TO MOVE. ACCELERATION WAS LIMITED BUT I MADE IT HOME WHICH WAS LESS THAN A MILE. WHEN STOPPED THERE WAS SMOKE ROLLING OUT FROM UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AREA AND THERE WAS FLUIDS RUNNING ALL OVER THE GROUND. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE I HAD MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. THERE IS A SCRUBBING AND PECKING NOISE BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S COMING FROM THE REAR END. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON BUT IT'S BEEN ON. I'VE HAD IT CHECKED AND SHOWS NOTHING WRONG AND HAD IT TURNED OFF AND IT CONTINUES TO COME ON. ALTERNATOR HAS BEEN REPLACED AS WELL AS NEW BATTERY. IT SEEMS TO HAVE ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THE DOORS LOCKING AND UNLOCKING. SO DANGEROUS! AFFECTS STEERING AND CONTROL OF VEHICLE AND COULD CAUSE A FIRE AND NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. AFTER SEEING ALL OF THE REVIEWS AND PROBLEMS WITH THESE VEHICLES THEY ALL NEED TO BE RECALLED BECAUSE NONE OF THEM ARE SAFE BECAUSE IT'S OBVIOUS THAT THE DEALERSHIPS DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO FIX THEM. IF THEY ATTEMPT ONE ISSUE THERE ARE EVEN MORE ISSUES THAT OCCUR. THE REPAIRS ARE COSTLY AND THIS IS

THE CAR STARTED TO LOSE POWER. I WAS DRVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY THEN THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE LIGHT CAME ON . NO PREVIOUS WARNING THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG.THE SPEED LIMIT IS 60 MPH I WAS IN A CURVE SO I HAD SLOWED DOWN TO 45. I SAW WHERE THERE WERE OTHER COMOLAINTS ABOU SIMILAR SITUATION

ON APPROXIMATELY 6-8 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS IN THE LAST 3 YEARS, MY 2014 DODGE JOURNEY HAS SHUT ITSELF OFF WHILE I'VE BEEN DRIVING IT. THE FIRST 3 TIMES I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT & AFTER THE 3RD TIME, THE DEALER REPLACED THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR BUT IT CONTINUED TO HAPPEN. THERE SEEMED TO BE NOTHING TO NOTE WHEN IT WOULD HAPPEN, UNTIL RECENTLY, IT SHUT OFF ON 2 OCCASIONS WHEN I WENT OVER A BUMP & GOING IN A FORWARD MOTION IN BOTH CASES. THE FIRST TIME I WAS GOING 55MPH, THE 2ND 25MPH SO NOT SURE THE SPEED HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT. BROUGHT IT BACK TO DEALER & THEY DID AN ENGINE CONTROL MODULE UPDATE. THIS WAS ONE WEEK AGO AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY. I WAS AGAIN IN A FORWARD MOTION, ACTUALLY JUST STARTED ACCELERATING FROM A RED LIGHT, SO WAS PROBABLY NOT GOING MORE THAN 35-40MPH WHEN IT HAPPENED. I FELT LIKE THIS IS AN ISSUE YOUR ORGANIZATION NEEDED TO KNOW ABOUT ON MANY LEVELS BUT THE LARGEST ONE FOR ME IS AS A FULL-TIME MOM. I HAVE HAD MY SON IN THE CAR WITH ME ON ALMOST EVERY ONE OF THESE OCCASIONS AND TO SAY IT'S TERRIFYING WOULD BE AN UNDERSTATEMENT. EVERYTHING ON THE CAR LOCKS AND I HAVE ABOUT 3 SECONDS TO TRY AND GUIDE MY CAR OUT OF TRAFFIC WITHOUT GETTING HIT. THE CAR DOES RESTART ONCE YOU PUT IT IN PARK AND PUSH THE IGNITION BUTTON BUT I WOULD NOT WISH THIS FEAR ON MY WORST ENEMY. HOPE THIS HELPS IN SOME WAY. BTW, TODAY I IMMEDIATELY DROVE MY CAR TO MY HUSBAND AT WORK AND HE WILL BE DRIVING IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY UNTIL THEY CAN HOPEFULLY FIX IT FOR GOOD. ALTHOUGH A

I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. AFTER GOING OVER A SMALL BUMP ON THE STREET, THE ABS WARNING LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE WARNING WENT OFF TEMPORARILY, BUT WHEN I STARTED TO DRIVE AGAIN, THERE WAS A SMALL SKID AND WARNING LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. THERE IS MORE "PLAY" WHEN I BRAKE, BUT I WAS ABLE TO COME TO A STOP.THE WARNING LIGHTS HAVE REMAINED ON. WE HAVE BEEN HAVING A LOT OF RAIN WHERE I LIVE. I HAVE SEEN REPORTS OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH MY MODEL OF CAR. REASON : UNKNOWN.

WHILE DRIVING 20MPH AND A FLAT STRAIGHT ROAD, THE DRIVER SIDE HEADREST DEPLOYED WITHOUT BEING IN AN ACCIDENT AND HIT MY WIFE IN THE HEAD.

I WAS COMING TO STOP SIGN AND APPLIED BRAKES. I HAD TO PUSH THEM ALL THE WAY DOWN FOR THE CAR EVENTUALLY STOP AFTER THE STOP SIGN. I PUMPED THE BRAKES A FEW TIMES AND THEN THEY WORKED FINE. A FEW WEEKS LATER I WAS COMING TO A STOP AGAIN AND I HAD TO PUSH BRAKES ALL THE WAY DOWN. I STOPPED AGAIN PAST THE STOP SIGN. I PUMPED THE BRAKES AND THEY WORKED AGAIN. IT HAPPEN TWO MORE TIME WEEKS APART BUT THE LAST TIME I PUMPED THE BRAKES AND HIT THE GAS THEN BRAKES AND THEY WORKED. I DROVE ABOUT HALF A BLOCK TRIED TO STOP AND BRAKES HAD TO BE PUSHED ALL THE WAY DOWN. I PUMPED THEM AGAIN AND WENT FORWARD HIT THE BRAKES AND THEY WORKED. I WENT FORWARD SLOWLY FOR ABOUT HALF A MILE AND WHEN I TRIED SLOW LITTLE TO TURN BRAKES WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I PARKED AND CALLED TOW TRUCK. I TOOK THE CAR TO DODGE AFTER 2ND INCIDENT AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. AFTER 4TH INCIDENT I TOOK IT TO SOMEONE DIFFERENT AND THE COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEY RECOMMENDED NOT DRIVING IT ANYMORE FOR SAFETY. I AM LUCKY IT ALWAYS HAPPENED AFTER I GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE AND DID NOT HURT ANYONE OR MYSELF.

I WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVE THRU WHEN MY SON AND I HEARD A POP NOISE THAN HE SAID THAT HURT HIS HEAD. THE HEADREST JUST POPPED OUT FOR NO REASON. I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS HAPPEN BUT IT SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPEN.

I WENT INTO MY CHURCH FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS AND CAME BACK OUT AND STARTED THE CAR TO LET IT COOL DOWN FOR MY KIDS. AS IT SAT IDLING ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, MY ETC LIGHT IS FLASHING, AND MY ESC OFF LIGHT IS ON. SHUT IT OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. STARTED DRIVING AND THE ETC LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND ESC OFF LIGHT CAME ON. MY CAR SLOWED DOWN FROM 60MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND I COULDN'T SPEED BACK UP. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND TURN CAR OFF AND BACK ON 3 TIMES TO MAKE IT BACK HOME. TO MAKE IT HOME I HAD TO PUT CRUISE CONTROL ON AND HOPE I DIDN'T GET BEHIND SOMEONE GOING SLOWER THAN ME BECAUSE ALL THE LIGHTS WOULD COME BACK ON.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR 2014 DODGE JOURNEY I TESTED MY CRUISE CONTROL AT 30 MILES AN HOUR AND TWO LANE ROAD HEADING IN THE SAME DIRECTION AND IT INCREASE SPEED FROM 30 MILES PER HOUR ON ITS OWN I'LL PRAISE TO ABOUT 50 TWO SMALL CHILDREN IN THE BACK AND WIFE COULDN'T STOP CAR WITH BRAKES ALL I WOULD DO IS JERK IT AND WE CAN ACCELERATE ENDED UP CLIPPING AN MBTA BUS WITH NON-INJURY THERE'S NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME THOUGHT OF NEUTRAL POPPED INTO MIND AND SNACKING IN THE NEUTRAL STOPPED AFTER HITTING BRAKES SOLD THIS CAR FROM BOCH NEW TO YOU CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED VEHICLE WITH 60,000 MILES ON IT MAY 17TH RECALL WAS OUT FOR THIS DRIVETRAIN CRUISE CONTROL ISSUE AND I BOUGHT IT IN AUGUST BOTH OF 2018 CAR DEALERSHIP SOLD ME A RECALLED CAR PRE-OWNED CERTIFIED GOT ME IN A CAR ACCIDENT WITH MY 18 MONTH OLD 3 MONTH OLD + WIFE WHAT TO DO? THIS WAS ON TULANE BOTH WAY STREETS IN THE CITY WHEN TESTING CONTROL HAT EASILY A HUNDRED TO TWO HUNDRED YARDS LENGTH BETWEEN CAR IN FRONT OF ME BUT QUICKLY KEPT UP WITH THEM AND HAD TO MANEUVER BETWEEN A BOSS AND LARGE SUV JUST MADE IT THROUGH THE HOLE ON THE CAR IN FRONT OF US INSTEAD OF REAR-ENDING IT CLIPPING MIRROR IN REAR END OF CAR THAT'S WHEN THE OPENING WITH NOTHING IN FRONT OF ME PANIC STOPS AND SMACKED INTO NEUTRAL

REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE'S TREAD JUST PEELED UP AND PULLED OFF THE UNDER SKIRT, PULLED PART OF BACK BUMPER LOOSE. PULLED OFF THE PLASTIC UP IN SIDE THE WHEEL CARRIAGE AND ALSO BUSTED MY GAS LINE. I WAS DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT ROAD AND IT JUST HAPPENED. I DIDN'T RUN OVER OR HIT ANYTHING.

DRIVING ALONE A CITY STREET AND PULLED INTO A SHOP AND THE CAR HAD A CLOUD OF SMOKE, AS I WAS PARKING, THEN NOTICED FLUID RUNNING FROM UNDERNEATH. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HAD HAPPEN. A REFUND FOR REPAIRS ON THIS VEHICLE WOULD HELP. AND EFFORT TO SOMEONE LETTING ME KNOW WHY THIS HAPPENED , IS THE QUESTION

SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE, BOUGHT BRAND NEW, EVERY SO OFTEN WHILE DRIVING THE RADIO AND ALL THE LIGHTS WOULD TURN OFF AND THEN COME BACK ON. RECENTLY WHEN DRIVING MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AT THAT POINT IT WAS A FRIDAY NIGHT MY MECHANIC WAS ALREADY CLOSED SO WHEN HE OPENED BACK UP ON TUESDAY I CALLED TO BRING THE CAR IN AND ON MY WAY THERE THE CAR STARTED MAKING A HORRIBLE NOISE. WHILE DRIVING DOWN A BUSY ROAD I FELT THE ACCELERATION GIVE AND I COULD NOT GET IT TO ACCELERATE SO I STARTED TO MAKE WAY OFF THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE ENGINE JUST DIED. HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC WHERE HE CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHY IT DIED. THERE WAS NO WATER, ALL THE FLUID LEVELS WERE PERFECT. HE WAS BAFFLED AS TO HOW THE ENGINE COULD JUST DIE. HE SAID HE HAS NEVER SEEN THIS HAPPEN FOR NO REASON. FINALLY FOUND AN ENGINE TO REPLACE IT A MONTH LATER, BUT THAT ENGINE HAS 96,000 MILES ON IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2014 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICED THAT OIL WAS LEAKING UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO COURTESY CHRYSLER DODGE RAM OF SUPERSTITION SPRINGS (6130 E AUTO PARK DR, MESA, AZ 85206, (480) 569-2986) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE LEFT CYLINDER HEAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

DASHBOARD LIGHTS, CABIN LIGHTS AND RADIO CONSTANTLY GOING OFF AND ON WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS WHILE HIGHWAY DRIVING AND ON THE STREET.

DRIVER SEAT ACTIVE HEADREST RESTRAINT DEPLOYED WITHOUT CAUSE WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN GARAGE. THIS WAS CAUSED BY THE PLASTIC RETAINING PIN BRACKETS BREAKING.

ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO, THE ABS AND CHECK LIGHT CAME ON, I RESEARCHED RECALLS AND TOOK CAR TO SCHLOSSMANN'S DODGE CITY. I WAS ADVISED THAT DUE TO WEATHER AND WATER LEAKING INTO WIRE HARNESS THAT IT WAS CORRODED. IN WHICH THIS IS THE BASIS OF THE R61 RECALL. HOWEVER, SINCE MY ISSUE IS WITH LEFT WHEEL SENSOR AND NOT THE FRONT RIGHT, IT IS NOT COVERED. I AM WONDERING WHAT THE DIFFERENCE IS - IF THE RESULT AND CAUSE IS THE SAME - WHY WOULD IT NOT BE COVERED? I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL NO LONGER WORKS - IS THIS RELATED?

SINCE THE STEERING WHEEL RECALL WAS FIXED. MY AC CONTROLS NOW TURN THERESELVES ON AND OFF AS WELL AS MY RADIO WHEN EVER. ITS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE. DODGE STATES THEY FIXED THE ISSED. I CONTINUE TO SMELL BURNING PLASTIC.

MY 2014 DODGE JOURNEY HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY KIND OF ACCIDENT. ONE DAY I CAME OUT TO MY PARKED JOURNEY AND NOTICED THE HEADREST ON THE PASSENGER SEAT POPPED OUT OF PLACE. THE PLASTIC BRACKETS THAT LATCH TO THE METAL BAR BROKE. I CONTACTED DODGE TO MAKE THEM AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO.

I'VE HAD MY THROTTLE BODY FAIL TWICE IN 8 MONTHS. BOTH WHILE DRIVING, IT CAUSES THE CAR TO NOT BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE. ALMOST WAS IN A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.

WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE IT SHUTS OFF WHILE IN MOTION. THE FRONT AND REAR WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURN ON AND OFF BY THEMSELVES AS WELL AS THE LIGHTS. IT THROWS MULTIPLE CODES THEN EVERYTHING GOES BACK TO NORMAL. IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS TURNING INTO AN OUT OF CONTROL VEHICLE. IT IS A SAFETY HAZZARD TO ALL MOTORISTS.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGH WAY OUR CAR SHUT OFF, MY HUSBAND COULDN'T BREAK OR STEER IT TOOK ABOUT 45 SECONDS TO TURN BACK ON. IT HAS DONE THIS ABOUT TEN TIMES SINCE, WE HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AT AND NO CODES HAVE BEEN OFF. IT HAS ALSO TURNED ON WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND LIGHTS ALL RANDOMLY AND LOCKED AND UNLOCKED ALL ON ITS OWN. WE HAVE THREE CHILDREN AND THIS IS OUR ONLY CAR. TO SAY WERE TERRIFIED IS A UNDERSTATEMENT WE LIVE IN THE CITY, WE ARE ONCE AGAIN HAVING IT LOOKED AT AGAIN IN HOPES SOMEONE CAN FIX IT AFTER LEARNING ITS ACTUALLY HAPPENED TO A LOT OF PEOPLE.

ON 03/24/19 WE WERE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN WHEN THE WHOLE CAR SHUDDER AND A LOUD SOUND WAS MADE. WE GOT OUT TO INVESTIGATE AND BURNING OIL COULD BE SMELLED. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO FIRESTONE AUTO CARECENTER. THE BUT IT UP ON THE LIFT. THE TRANSMISSION HOUSING SNAPPED AT THE BOLTS AND DRIVE SHAFT SNAPPED. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 60,000 MILES ON IT. THE DRIVE TRAIN WARRANTY EXPIRED JANUARY 2019. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED CERTIFIED USED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT HEARD LOUD, ABNORMAL NOISES COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. SMOLICH MOTORS (1865 NE HWY 20, BEND, OR 97701, (541) 389-1177) DIAGNOSED THAT THE CAMSHAFT AND LIFTERS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE JOURNEY. WITHIN LESS THAN A YEAR OF OWNING THE VEHICLE, THE TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS WARNING INDICATORS FLASHED. ALSO, THE BRAKE PEDAL SEIZED WHEN IT WAS DEPRESSED AND AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD. THE CONTACT HAD TO EASE OFF OF THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN MAKING A STOP AND THEN CAUTIOUSLY APPLY THE BRAKE PEDAL AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER ISSUED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V675000 (ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC); HOWEVER, THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT IS ON. HAVE TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER TO FIND OUT WHAT'S WRONG. ALSO THE OIL FILTER MANIFOLD CRACKED AND LEAKED OIL. HAD TO GET IT REPLACED.

LIKE OTHERS ON THIS SITE, I EXPERIENCED A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT INDICATING A MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 3. I HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY AT CHAMPION DODGE IN INDIANAPOLIS, IN. THE SHOP STATED THEY REPLACED THE ENTIRE CYLINDER HEAD DUE TO A LEAKING VALVE. UPON RETRIEVING THE REPAIRED VEHICLE, THE SAME ISSUE IMMEDIATELY AROSE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE SHOP AND THE SHOP IS NOW SURMISING THEY RECEIVED A DEFECTIVE PART. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED TWICE WITHIN A DAY DUE TO A DEFECTIVE REPLACEMENT PART. EITHER THE SHOP DID NOT REPLACE THE PART, OR CHRYSLER HAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THEIR CYLINDER HEADS. THIS ISSUE APPEARS TO BE COMMON, WAS RECOGNIZED BY CHRYSLER ON THE 2011-2013 MODELS, BUT IS NOW AN ISSUE WITH MY 2014 MODEL. I HAVE CONTACTED A CUSTOMER CARE REPRESENTATIVE AT CHRYSLER WHO MADE ONE ATTEMPT TO CALL AND IS NEVER AVAILABLE.

I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICAL TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE AIR BAG SENSOR KEEPS TURNING OFF AND ON. WHEN I GET THERE IT OFF. THE SAY THEY CAN NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM.. I AM AFRAID THE AIRBAG IS GOING TO DEPLOY WHILE I AM DRIVING. NEXT THE POWER THAT CONTROL THE RADIO AMD BLUETOOH WILL JUSTBSTOP WORKING WHILE DRIVING. THE SCREEN WILL GO BLACK AND THEN POWER CYCLE ITSELF AS IF I JUST TURN THE CAR ON. I BELIEVE THERE IS A MAJOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.
