2016 Dodge Journey complaints

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND IT JUST LOSS POWER. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO CARS BEHIND ME. THE CAR WILL TURN ON BUT WON'T DRIVE. HAD IT TOWED TO SHOP AND FOUND OUT TRANSMISSION WAS GONE. I JUST PURCHASED VEHICLE IN OCT 2016, HOW CAN TRANSMISSION BE GONE. WARRANTY JUST EXPIRED 3000 AGO. AND DEALERSHIP PURCHASED FROM DIDN'T WANT IT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE WITH THIS. I HAVE RESEARCHED THERE HAVE BEEN 3 RECALLS (S44) ALREADY FOR SAME ISSUE BUT NO ONE NOTIFIED ME ABOUT THIS EARLIER.

I WAS DRIVING 65 MPH IN A MIDDLE LANE ON THE FREEWAY WHEN MY ENGINE SUDDENLY STALLED OUT. I LOST THE ABILITY TO STEER OR BRAKE, AND MY VEHICLE QUICKLY LOST SPEED. I BARELY MANAGED TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY BEFORE IT COMPLETELY STOPPED. I CALLED MY HUSBAND TO COME GET ME, AND HE MANAGED TO RESTART IT AND DROVE IT HOME WHILE I FOLLOWED IN OUR TRUCK. ABOUT 5 MILES DOWN THE ROAD, THE ENGINE STALLED OUT ON HIM. WE TOOK IT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP, AND THE MECHANIC WHO TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE FREAKED OUT WHEN THE PROBLEM HAPPENED TO HIM WITH MY HUSBAND IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. HOWEVER, THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND REFUSE REPLACE ANY OF THE RECALLED PARTS FROM 2016 DODGE JOURNEY'S RELATING TO THE ENGINE STALLING OUT BECAUSE THEY INSIST MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED A COUPLES OF WEEKS BEFORE THE RECALL GOES INTO EFFECT. MY CONCERN IS FOR MY THREE TODDLERS WHO WERE SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT AND NEARLY GOT KILLED. I HAVE CALLED DODGE REPEATEDLY ABOUT THIS, BUT THEY HAVEN'T FIXED IT YET OR GIVEN ME A REASON WHY MY ONE YEAR OLD CAR IS SO DANGEROUS.

I LOOSE CONTROL OF THE WINDOWS MOST OF THE TIME. I HAD THE MAIN WINDOW CONTROL SWITCH REPLACED, AND THE PROBLEM STILL DID NOT GO AWAY, PLEASE HELP.

TAKATA RECALL, RESEARCHING MY CAR VIN 3 RECALLS FLAGGED UP AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE RECALLS MY CAR HAS BREAKING ISSUES THE BREAKS WORK AT TIMES AND NOT OTHER TIMES , THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT CHANGE GEAR RANDOMLY AND WILL LUNG FORWARD WHEN STOPPING LASTLY IT PULLS TO THE RIGHT SO HARD ITS HARD TO DRIVE THE CAR DEALER SAID THERE IS NOT ISSUES WITH THE CAR.

VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTS HARD IN SLOW TRAFFIC. VEHICLE THEN PROCEEDS TO TURN OFF BUT ENGINE WILL NOT STOP UNTIL YOU PUT FOOT ON BRAKE PUT VEHICLE IN PARK AND PUSH ENGINE BUTTON. THE DEALERSHIP RESETS CODE AND RUNS GOOD FOR ABOUT 200 TO 400 MILES AND HAPPENS AGAIN. BEEN BACK TO DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS JERKY BETWEEN 30 TO 37 MPH AND THEN ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND VEHILCE STOPS.

WIFE WAS BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY AND ENGINE STOPPED / STALLED AS SHE ENTERED THE ROAD AND STARTED TO TURN WHILE BACKING. RADIO AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS WERE WORKING. HAD TO PUSH STARTER BUTTON TO OFF SO I COULD START IT AGAIN. ATTEMPTING TO START IT ALREADY IN THE RUN POSITION FAILED WITH AN ERROR I DON'T REMEMBER AND DID NOT WRITE IT DOWN AT THE TIME AS SHE WOKE ME UP TO TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED AND I WENT OUT TO DRIVEWAY AND CHECK. UNKNOWN REASON WHY AND HAVE NOT CONTACTED DEALER YET. REPORTING THIS HERE AS IT MAY SEEM TO BE A TREND AFTER DOING A GOOGLE SEARCH. HAS NOT HAPPENED BEFORE WITH THIS VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE EXPRESSWAY, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (HADDAD DODGE, 3000 HARRIS RD, BAKERSFIELD, CA, 93313), BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED OR MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V907000 (ENGINE). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 21,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN INTERNAL FAILURE AND THE RADIO SHORTED OUT. THE DEALER (LAWTON CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM, 215 SE INTERSTATE DR, LAWTON, OK 73501, (580) 350-6000) DIAGNOSED THAT IT WAS DUE TO A HARDWARE FAILURE, BUT PROVIDED NO SOLUTION. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO NOTIFY SIRIUS XM. THE CONTACT NOTIFIED SIRIUS XM AND WAS INFORMED TO NOTIFY THE WARRANTY COMPANY TO SERVICE THE RADIO. THE RADIO FAILURE WAS NOT RESOLVED. THE VEHICLE WAS RECENTLY PURCHASED LESS THAN 30 DAYS AGO AND THE DEALER PROVIDED NO REASON AS TO WHY THEY HAD NOT COMPLETED THE RECALL REPAIR FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V907000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) PRIOR TO SELLING THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THERE WAS ALSO AN INTERNAL ELECTRICAL FAILURE WITH OTHER COMPONENTS BESIDES THE RADIO. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,300. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, AT ABOUT 60MPH, WAS SLOWLY THE CAR DOWN BECAUSE I WAS GOING TO BE MAKING A RIGHT TURN. OUT OF NOWHERE MY STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO LOCK UP, AS DID THE BRAKES. I HAD NO CONTROL OF MY CAR. MY CAR CAME TO A STOP BY ITSELF AND I DID NOT HAVE CONTROL OF IT AGAIN UNTIL I TURNED IT OFF AND RESTARTED IT. I WAS ALMOST IN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME MY CAR HAS LOST ENGINE POWER, ALONG WITH POWER STEERING AND BREAKS. I PULLED UP TO A LIGHT AND STOPPED TO TURN RIGHT. I WAS ON A BUSY SURFACE STREET. AS I TRIED TO TURN AND ACCELERATE I FOUND THE POWER STEERING WAS GONE AND THAT THE CAR WAS ROLLING. ALL THE CAR ELECTRICAL I.E. MUSIC , LIGHTS WERE ON BUT THE ENGINE WAS DEAD. I HIT THE POWER BUTTON AND THE CAR STARTED AGAIN. I WILL TAKE THIS CAR INTO DODGE AGAIN BUT I SUSPECT THAT THEY WILL TELL ME THAT THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND SEND ME HOME WITH IT. THIS HAPPENED LAST YEAR ALSO AND THERE HAS BEEN NO RESOLUTION.

MY NEW CAR "JUMPS" WHEN IT HITS A BUMP GOING AROUND 40-60 MPH. IT FEELS LIKE IT LIFTS UP INTO THE AIR AND IT COMES DOWN IN ANOTHER PLACE, FAIRLY CLOSE BUT DIFFERENT.I SUSPECT THE FRAME IS WARPEDBECAUSE OF AN ACCIDENT BUT PERHAPS IT IS THE ALIGNMENT?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE VEHICLE, IT ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE DROVE OVER A CONCRETE BUMPER AND STRUCK A BUILDING. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A BODY SHOP (ALL MAGIC PAINT AND BODY) AND THE BODY DAMAGE WAS REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DEEMED DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 10,545. UPDATED 09/27/17*LJ *TR

THE TRUCK HAS ALWAYS SHIFTED HARD SINCE I PURCHASED IT JANUARY 2016 BUT I FIGURED IT WOULD JUST WORK ITS WAY OUT SINCE IT WAS BRAND NEW. FRIDAY JULY 21ST 2017 I WAS DRIVING AND STARTED HEARING A VERY LOUD GRINDING TYPE OF NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AND I WAS JUST TRYING TO MAKE IT HOME ASAP. ALL OF A SUDDEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING (25 MPH) I WAS SLOWING DOWN AND WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND WENT TO ACCELERATE AGAIN THERE WAS NOTHING THERE LIKE NO POWER AT ALL JUST RPMS GOING HIGHER. I PULLED OVER PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK AND BACK INTO DRIVE AND IT WOULDN'T MOVE ANYWHERE AT ALL. I TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AND QUICKLY PUT IT IN DRIVE SO I HAD SOME MOMENTUM AND AFTER 1ST GEAR IT DID THE SAME EXACT THING. I WAS 10 MILES AWAY FROM MY HOUSE AND HAD TO REPEAT THIS PROCESS FOR OVER AN HOUR JUST TO MAKE IT TO MY DRIVEWAY. THE NEXT MORNING I REPEATED THE PROCESS IN ORDER TO GET IT TO THE CLOSEST DODGE DEALERSHIP WHICH I DID SAFELY. NOW MY TRUCK HAS 53,500 MILES ON IT AND THE DEALERSHIP STATED THE TRANSMISSION IS BLOWN. GREAT REAL GREAT A BRAND NEW CAR AND A BLOWN TRANSMISSION? IT'S RIDICULOUS ESPECIALLY WHEN DODGE WILL NOT DO LOANER VEHICLES LEAVING ME NOW PAYING HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS OUT OF POCKET FOR A RENTAL AND STILL PAYING NY PAYMENTS ON TOP OF THIS ALL. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO HELP PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO ARE INCONVENIENCED IN THESE SITUATIONS. I OWN MY OWN BUSINESS AND DRIVE 150+ MILES A DAY I NEED A CAR AND NO ONE CARES. I'M SO FURIOUS AND UPSET ITS NOT FUNNY

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, THE TRANSMISSION JERKS AND IT SEEMS THAT THE COMPUTER TELLING THE TRANSMISSION WHEN TO SHIFT GEARS IS SLOW AND NOT PROPERLY FUNCTIONING. IT'S HAPPENING FREQUENTLY, ESPECIALLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN, COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP OR STARTING TO DRIVE FROM A COMPLETE STOP. ALSO PUTTING INTO PARK AND THEN TAKING OUT OF PART, THERE'S A BIT OF RESISTANCE, LOUD BANG AND HARD SHIFT.

ENGINE SHUT OFF ON 7/7/2017 APPOX 2:40 PST THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT ON A BUSY SURFACE STREET WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I PRESSED THE GAS TO MOVE THROUGH THE LIGHT AND THERE WAS NO POWER COMING FROM THE ENGINE. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF. I PUSH BUTTON STARTED THE ENGINE AND THE CAR OPERATED AS NORMAL. ON 7/8/2017 APPROX 1:30 PST I WAS COMPLETING A LEFT HAND TURN WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH NO POWER COMING FROM THE ENGINE. I PUT MY FLASHERS ON, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. WITHIN SECONDS I PUSH BUTTON STARTED THE VEHICLE AND IT STARTED UP NORMALLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER THREE ATTEMPTS. IN ADDITION, THE FAILURE OCCURRED TWO MORE TIMES. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALER: BRYANT MOTORS LOCATED AT 2901 S LIMIT AVE, SEDALIA, MO, 65301 WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CAM SHAFT SENSOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 27,000.

BRAKES STARTED TO SQUEAK AND GRIND. THE FRONT WAS REPLACED AFTER 3 VISITS TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE TRUCK IS DELAYED WHEN ACCELERATING AND SLIPS WHEN ACCELERATING IN DRIVE. THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN FIXED FOR THE PROPULSION. THIS HAPPENS IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAY. THE LIGHTS FLICKER WHEN IN PARK.

I WAS TURNING INTO A PARKING SPOT OUTSIDE OF MY WORK AND THE CAR REVVED AND JERKED FORWARD; I HAD TO SWERVE TO MISS AND PILLAR AND SLAM ON MY BRAKES BECAUSE IT JUMPED OVER A CURB AND ALMOST HIT A BUILDING! THE PARKING SPOT WAS A LITTLE UPWARD SO I DID HAVE TO HAVE MY FOOT ON THE GAS

THE VEHICLE HAS TURNED OFF ON THE ROAD WHILE ON DRIVE, WHEN IT TURNS OFF THE STEERING WHEEL IS HARD TO TURN AND CAN'T BRAKE. THE VEHICLE IS RESTARTED BY PRESSING THE ON/OFF BUTTON, AND IT WILL DRIVE LIKE NORMAL AGAIN. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME IT HAS TURNED OFF ON ME.

CAR HAS 20K MILES, WHILE DRIVING THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON. DEALERSHIP DISCOVERED THAT, IN ADDITION TO THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL, THE AIRBAGS WERE NOT WORKING. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT WATER BOTTLES HAD ROLLED UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND BROKEN THE WIRES FOR THE AIRBAGS. THIS IS A 8 SEAT FAMILY VEHICLE AND CAN BE ASSUMED THAT CHILDREN WOULD BE IN THE BACK SEAT, THEREFORE SPILLS AND/OR TRASH ARE LIKELY TO ROLE UNDER THE DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER SEATS, YET THE WIRES IN QUESTION OR THIN, FRAGILE, AND UNPROTECTED. FURTHERMORE, I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY WARNING LIGHTS THAT THE AIRBAGS WERE NOT FUNCTIONING AND HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG THE AIRBAGS HAVE NOT BEEN FUNCTIONING. DURING A GOOGLE SEARCH, I DISCOVERED THAT SEVERAL OLDER DODGE VEHICLES HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR SIMILAR ISSUE, YET DODGE REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE DESIGN FLAW. THE WIRES UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT SUPPOSEDLY DO NOT AFFECT THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL, BUT I BELIEVE IT IS SUSPECT THAT THESE ISSUE OCCURRED AT THE SAME TIME (AND COMPLAINTS ON OTHER DODGE VEHICLES HAVE INDICATED THAT MOVEMENT OF THE SEATS DISLODGED THE WIRES AND TURNED OFF ABS AND AIRBAGS). THE DEALERSHIP WANTS 300 DOLLARS TO FIX THE WIRES, BUT OFFERS NO WAY OF PREVENTING THE PROBLEM FROM REOCCURRING. I HAVE ALSO FOUND THREE SAFETY RECALLS ON THIS MODEL THAT NEITHER DODGE OR THEIR SERVICES PROVIDERS HAVE NEVER INFORMED ME OF! I BELIEVE THIS MODEL NEEDS TO BE CLOSELY INSPECTED, AS IT ALREADY HAS THREE SAFETY RECALLS IN L

WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL RIGHT OR LEFT WHILE TRYING TO PARK IT MAKES A WHINING NOISE

MY VEHICLE RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF. LOSES ALL ENGINE POWER, POWER STEERING, ETC. HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER 3 DIFFERENT TIMES AND NO ONE CAN FIND THE PROBLEM. ONCE WE WERE STOPPED AT A LIGHT, 2 TIMES WE WERE PULLING OUT OF PARKING SPOTS, AND THIS LAST TIME MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON THE STREET AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V461000 (POWER TRAIN); 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 NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T DOWNSHIFT CORRECTLY.

HEADLIGHTS FLICKER WHILE DRIVING. HAS BEEN TAKEN IN AT LEAST 3 TIMES DEALERSHIP NOT ABLE TO PINPOINT ISSUE. CAR HAD ALL LIGHTS COME ON IN DASH AND HEADLIGHTS STROBED, THEN CAR LOST ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING, WAS NOT ABLE TO TURN ON HAZARDS AS CAR HAD NO POWER, CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. SCREEN IN CAR RESETS TIME AND ALL SETTINGS. HAS BEEN UPDATED REPEATEDLY AND CONTINUES TO DO SO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE DRIVING HIGH SPEEDS, THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKERED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP SIGN, THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKERED AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A FAULTY SEAL, AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS REBUILT. THE HEADLIGHT ISSUE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 600.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE SURGED AND THE SERVICE ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER AND WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CAM POSITION SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.

WHEN I FIRST START THE VEHICLE IT MAKES A LOUD WHINE NOISE FOR ABOUT 2 TO 5 MIN. THEN SEEMS TO GO AWAY. IF THE VEHICLE SITS FOR 3 TO 4 HOURS IT WILL DO THE SAME NOISE AGAIN. DEALER TOLD ME THAT ALL THE SIX CYLINDERS MAKE THAT NOISE AND IT'S NORMAL. HAVE NEVER OWNED A VEHICLE THAT MAKES A WHINE NOISE WHERE SOMETHING WASN'T WRONG ESPECIALLY AT AROUND 6000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN IT HAPPENS BUT IF YOU DRIVE OFF RIGHT AWAY THE NOISE CONTINUES AS YOU'RE DRIVING. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS IN AN ACCIDENT ON NOVEMBER 26, 2015. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE PURCHASE. THE BRAKING WAS NOT ACCURATE. THE CAR WOULD LOSE STEERING FUNCTIONALITY ALONG WITH BRAKING CAPACITY AND HAS BECOME HAZARDOUS WHILE DRIVING. ON NOVEMBER, 26TH, 2015, AN ACCIDENT OCCURRED DUE TO THE MALFUNCTION OF THIS VEHICLE. AT THIS TIME, THE PARTS TO REPLACE THE MALFUNCTIONED PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. I HAVE RECEIVED 2 RECALL NOTICES FOR MY BRAND NEW TRUCK. MY 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND I WERE INJURED IN THIS ACCIDENT. *TR

THIS VEHICLE WAS SOLD TO ME BY CENTRAL FLORIDA CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE, 8675 COMMODITY CIRCLE, ORLANDO, FL 32819 WITH AN OPEN RECALL. I PURCHASED AND DROVE THIS VEHICLE HOME ON 8/20/2016. THIS CAR WAS A NEW VEHICLE AND SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SOLD WITH AN EXISTING RECALL. WHEN I CALLED TO EXPLAIN THE CAR HAD A RECALL, THEY WERE VERY RUDE AND TOLD ME THE RECALL WAS NEW AND THE PART TO CORRECT IT DID NOT EXIST AT THAT TIME.

"TAKATA RECALL" ON 4 OR MORE OCCASIONS MY VEHICLE HAS SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THIS NORMALLY OCCURS WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR AFTER TAPPING THE BRAKE. THE FIRST TIME WAS ABOUT 2 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE AFTER LEAVING WORK AND STOPPING AT A STOP LIGHT. IT HAS DIED WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO TAKE A CURVE AND ALSO ON A BUSY HIGHWAY OUT OF TOWN TAPPING BRAKES IN HEAVY TRAFFIC GOING ABOUT 50MPH AND ALMOST GETTING REAR ENDED. EACH TIME I WOULD HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTART THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT ,THE STEERING COLUMN LOCKED WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS APPLIED AND FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT HAD TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF TO RESET THE COMPUTER. THE DEALER TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE, BUT COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE DEALER CLEARED A CODE CONCERNING THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE AND PROVIDED NO REPAIR SOLUTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000.

THE CAR STALLED OUT WITH NO WARNING ON THE HIGHWAY. LUCKILY I WAS GOING SLOW BECAUSE I WAS GOING ON AN OFF RAMP TO GET ONTO THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR SIEZED UP COMPLETELY I HAD NO CONTROL I BARELY WAS ABLE TO LIMP IT INTO A PARKING LOT. I WAS LUCKY. THE CAR RESTARTED WITH NO PROBLEMS AFTER THAT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SPENT 3 FULL DAYS DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM. THEY FOUND NOTHING. I LOOKED ONLINE AND THERE ARE SIMILIAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VEHICLE. AND THE SAME THING IS SAID OVER AND OVER AGAIN.........NOTHING IS KNOWN ABOUT THE PROBLEM THUS NOTHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT THE PROBLEM. MEANWHILE I AM STUCK DRIVING A CAR THAT COULD AT ANY TIME DO THE SAME THING AGAIN. IT IS LIKE PLAYING RUSSIAN ROULETTE. I DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE THIS CAR AGAIN I DO NOT WANT THIS CAR ANYMORE.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR WITH 11 MILES ON IT . A COUPLE WEEKS AGO I WAS GOING ABOUT 30 MPH AND I STOPPED AT A 4 WAY STOP . I DID A COMPLETE STOP THE ENGINE TURNED OFF THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND I WAS STUCK IN THE INTERSECTION LUCKILY I DIDN'T GET HIT . I HAD TO PUT IT BACK IN PARK AND IT TURNED ON . SCARY SITUATION . TODAY I ATTENPTED TO TURN ON THE IGNITION AND IT JUST TURNED AND TURNED FOR 30 SECONDS AND CAR DIDN'T START. I TURNED IT OFF AND TRIED AGAIN THE CAR STARTED BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WILL TAKE TO DEALER ASAP

WHILE DRIVING MY BRAND NEW DODGE JOURNEY JUST PURCHASED ALMOST 2 MONTHS AGO, THE ENGINE STALLS OUT SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES NOW, WITH THE LAST TIME BEING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY ALMOST CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT. THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF, STEERING WHEEL AND BRAKES LOCK AND CAR JUST COASTS TO A STOP. AFTER A MINUTE THE CAR CAN BE RESTARTED. NO LIGHTS COME ON TO SIGNIFY A PROBLEM DURING THIS TIME, IT JUST STALLS OUT COMPLETELY CAUSING A MAJOR POTENTIAL FOR AN ACCIDENT. BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO SAYS THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. I HAVE 3 CHILDREN AND THIS HAPPENED WITH 1 IN THE CAR, PUTTING US IN SERIOUS DANGER.

VEHICLE STALLS RANDOMLY WHILE DECELLERATING, BRAKING, STOPPED OR DRIVING. ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS REMAIN OPERATIONAL (A/C. RADIO, GAUGES, ETC.) BUT BRAKING AND STEERING BECOME DIFFICULT. YOU MUST COME TO A STOP, PARK AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES NOW, TWICE TO MYSELF AND ONCE TO MY WIFE. TWO DEALERSHIPS HAVE FOUND NO ISSUE SO NOTHING CAN BE DONE. I AM AT THE END OF MY OPTIONS AND FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. PLEASE ADVISE ME OF MY OPTIONS BEFORE ONE OF US IS HURT OR WORSE.

I HAD 2016 DODGE JOURNEY BOUGHT FROM SUPERSTITION DODGE IN MESA ARIZONA. THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF BY ITSELF WHILE BRAKING AND ONE TIME WHILE DRIVING. WHEN ENGINE SHUTS OFF THE CAR LOOSES POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. THIS COULD CAUSE FETAL ACCIDENT AND MAY BE DEATH. I CONTACTED DODGE TEMPE ARIZONA. I WENT TO THEM AFTER IT HAPPEN FIRST TIME AND THEY SAID NO ERROR CODE AND IT COULD BE A GLITCH!! THEN WHEN IT HAPPEN FOR SECOND AND THIRD TIME AND I WAS ABOUT TO MAKE AN ACCIDENT, I CONTACTED THEM AGAIN AND CONTACTED DODGE COMPANY. THEY OPEN A CASE # 29588743. AND TEMPE DODGE TOOK AGAIN FOR OVER A WEEK AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND THE ROOT CAUSE. THEY WANT TO GIVE ME THE CAR BACK AND I AM AFRAID ABOUT MY FAMILY SAFETY AND PEOPLE AND CARS IN THE STREET. I CONTACTED DODGE AGAIN AND THE CASE MANAGER NAME IS [XXX] . SHE SAID THERE NOTHING SHE CAN DO AND SHE WANTS TO CLOSE THE CASE. THEY DO NOT CARE AND THEY WANT TO GIVE THE CAR BACK TO ME KNOWINGLY THAT THE CAR COULD HAVE AN ACCIDENT AGAIN IF THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AND THE CAR FAIL TO BRAKE AND STEER. WHAT HAPPEN IS WHEN DRIVING, SOMETIMES "3 TIMES" WHEN BRAKE "2 TIMES" OR WHEN SLOWING WHILE RUNNING "1 TIME" THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AND THE IGNITION BUTTON STILL SHOWS RUN AND AC IS STILL WORKING ON THE BATTERY. WHEN ENGINE SHUTS OFF NO BRAKES SO CAR KEEPS MOVING AND STEERING IS VERY HARD TO CONTROL BECAUSE OF LOSS OF POWER. IT IS LIFE THREATENING AND COULD CAUSE DEATH TO PEDESTRIANS AND OR PASSENGERS. PLEASE HELP, I DO NOT WANT MY FAMILY TO GET I

WHILE DRIVING MY 2016 DODGE JOURNEY 12MPH, THE CAR JERKED TO THE LEFT CAUSING ME TO HIT A CEMENT LIGHT POLE. I WAS IN A ROUNDABOUT TURNING TO BRING MY CHILD TO SCHOOL WHEN THIS HAPPENED. NO INJURIES.

WE WERE DRIVING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AND THE BACK HATCH BACK OPENED EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE LOCKS WERE ENGAGED AND LOCKED SHUT. THE DOOR LOCKS WERE ENGAGED. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT, NO AUDIBLE ALARM-NOT A WARNING OF ANY KIND. AT THAT POINT, WE HAD NOT IDEA THE HATCH BACK WAS OPENED, AND BECAUSE WE WERE ON A SLIGHT INCLINE, A GOLF CLUB FELL OUT OF THE GOLF BAG AND LANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ONTERSECTION. WE REALIZED THE HATCH WAS OPENED AFTER WE PASSED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION ( SAQUARO AND SHEA IN FOUNTAIN HILLS , ARIZONA. MAJOR CONCERN AS THERE WAS NO WARNING OF THE INSTRUMENTATION OF ANY KIND, AND THIS WAS A RENTAL CAR. I BELIEVE IF WE HAD A FULL CARGO PAYLOAD, IT WOULD HAVE DISCHARGED FROM THE REAR CAUSING TRAFFIC IMPEDIMENT AND POSSIBLE CRASHES TO SAY NOTHING OF THE LOSS OF PROPERTY OR IF WE HAD A LIVE ANIMAL , THE LOSS OF THE ANIMAL.
