Since we purchased our journey in 2019 the backup camera will either stop working, show upside down images or completely stop functioning, took to dealer and was told software update would resolve it, they did something but nothing fixed it

The liftgate wiring harness is malfunctioning, causing my wiper blade in the rear to be working when it’s not turned off and turns off when you try to work it and my reverse lights are not working. Everything that I have looked up points to the liftgate rear wiring harness has been damaged somehow

Windshield is coated with a plastic to prevent rock chips. The wipers have grooved the plastic. If the sun is shining and we were to try to clean the windshield it would be very hard to see the road. Seems like a manufacturing defect.

The contact owned a 2019 Dodge Journey. The contact stated that while the vehicle was completely stopped, another vehicle driving at 55 MPH rear-ended his vehicle. There were no air bags deployed upon impact. The contact mentioned that the owner's manual had verbiage that contradicted that air bags do not deploy when involved in rear-end collisions. The contact stated that the trailer hitch absorbed the majority of the impact from the crash. The contact suffered whiplash, but medical attention was not received. The fire department and police arrived on the scene. Police and fire department reports were filed. The vehicle was able to be driven away from the crash site. The contact stated that the following week, while driving, all of the air bags deployed without any impact. The contact suffered a concussion, and his dog, who was sitting in the rear center seat, died as a result of his injuries. The fire department and police arrived on the scene. The Police and fire department filed reports for the second time. Medical attention was not received. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard, where it was deemed totaled by the insurance company. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and their insurance adjuster informed the contact that the air bags performed as designed to not deploy in a rear-end collision. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000. The VIN was unavailable.

The backup camera fails to work daily. It started out once in a while. Then it became more and more frequent. Every once in a while it will come on, but only for a few seconds. The image may or may not be upside-down. This has been reported with other 2019 Dodge Journey vehicles.

Back up camera stopped working

Seat belt beeper stoped working. Seat belt gets stuck out. Now cut the seat belt holder thing. Does not protect. Does not lock does not hold back

Rear camera only turns on 30% of the time. The camera is in the rear view mirror and when it doesn’t work it puts a black screen in the rear view mirror putting many lives in danger.

My backup camera is a safety concern because it does not work. Also, my headlights are defective because moisture gets into them. These issues should be recalled.

I had purchased the vehicle in early April of 2024 from Drive Time in Langhorne PA. I've had mechanical / engine issues since then. On [XXX], my daughter called me and informed me that the vehicle shut down while she was driving with my infant grand daughter, on the highway.

My driver side head rest deployed without an accident

Since we purchased the vehicle in 2019 the backup camera would spoetacticly stop working (black screen with a camera and line through it) or have the camera image upside down.. When we took it into our local dealer, they said it was a software issue updated and said it was fixed.... But we've still have the issue and now they say the camera is faulty and want us to pay out of pocket for a replacement as well as the work and all else... This is a major safety issue and been plaguing Dodge vehicles.

The contact owns a 2019 Dodge Journey. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the ABS and check engine warning lights remained illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the ABS module was faulty and needed to be replaced; however, the parts needed were no longer available from the manufacturer. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and confirmed that the ABS module was no longer available and no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 47,000.

Same as previous year's. Power steering assist stopped working. Rubber particles in power steering fluid like hose ruptured.

Left headlamp seal is bad. Condensation on inside has diminished brightness. The right lamp also leaked but was replaced under warranty. My warranty has expired but, as a safety issue, I believe the faulty lamp should be replaced at no charge. I'd be happy to have the bad headlamp inspected by a dealer or whoever.

I will be driving the vehicle and it will go completely dark, no electrical function, shuts right off in the middle of traffic. After a period of time, everything will power back up. This happens randomly and is very dangerous. I took the car to the dealer and initially, they said it was the battery. I replaced the battery and just as I got in the car at the dealer, the car went dark again. This time they were able to see that it is still happening and so far they have not been able to find the cause. I've read online about at least 3 other people having the same issue with no solution found to date. Currently the vehicle is at Courtesy Chrysler in Tampa, FL.

The back up camera has stopped working, sometimes it is a black screen, other times it's just a series of colors with no image. This makes it hard to back up safely.

The driver side window randomly stops working. The motor and the switches have been tested and are functioning correctly. There is no known cause at this time.

Wind (40+ MPH) caught the door while I was opening it. The spring that holds it open and stops it in a certain position broke. The tack welds on the spring snapped and threw the spring into the car. The dealer service department is closed today, and the insurance is going to be contacted on Monday.

Front cylinder head number two is misfiring. It is a known problem with this engine and older models have an extended warranty. My 2019 is not covered. It’s an expensive repair and seems like a problem.

Back up camera is upside down, blurry or does not work, when in reverse

Passenger head rest popped open with great force barely missing my head as I was getting into my seat. Now i fear it is a matter of time till the driver head rest pops open. May cause great damage to other drivers if it happens while driving.

With less than 29000 miles the backup camera has failed. While trying to back up and use rear view mirror it’s almost impossible to see what’s behind the vehicle. Dodge says this vehicle is out of warranty because of over 36 months. What’s it take 10-12 kids to be backed over in-order to issue recalls. There’s numerous others complaining about this. Please in the interest of SAFETY please consider recall on this. I thank you in advance for safety. [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Same issue is occurring in my vehicle as a recall that has occurred with years up to 2016. Upon startup in cold weather the power steering fluid leaks from the vehicle.

As I was driving, I began to park. I put my foot on the brake and proceeded to put car in reverse. The back up camera began to flash. Once it stopped flashing, the image on the screen was upside down. It’s is available for inspection. This is a safety hazard. The purpose of the camera is so that people can see what’s behind them. If the Camry isn’t functioning properly it’s can cause accidents. No warning. The camera just randomly did this. And since then the camera has been upside down. I have never had this issue before. I cut the car off for days at a time and the issue will not go away. I googled the issue and a lot of people with Dodge automobiles have had similar issues.

Vehicle is shifted into reverse but car will not move. Vehicle is only 4 years old with roughly 73,000 miles on it. After speaking with a mechanic, it has been found that there are issues with the transmission. Transmission will need to be replaced or rebuilt.

The back up camera started to go in and out suddenly. Then all of sudden I started to get an upside down imade with red and green stripes and with stripe at the top. I saw the journey up to 2018 has a recall for this issue but mine is a 2019 and this just randomly started on 12/08/2022.

Rear ended and side swiped by truck going over 75 mph. Collision disabled engine and vehicle. Air bags did not deploy.

Seat wont close in back seat second row wont close at all it broken itself

All seat have side power move for open and close in second row and front row press down n up area plastic area holder it broke all of 4 of them seat broken for no reason

Ever time I drive my airbag light will come on and stay on for 5-10 mins then go off for 5-10 mins then come back on. Something is seriously going on with my cars air bags

While driving I came to a stop sign on a hill and the vehicle shut off on its own and started rolling backwards down the hill. I tried to brake but it wouldn't let me so I was forced to throw it into park so it would stop. This is the second time this has happened where the car shut off on its own while in drive.

CAR "CLUNKS" WHEN GOING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE, SPORADICALLY. ALSO THE TRANSMISSION "SLIPS" OCCASIONALLY. I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, CHANGED ALL ENGINE MOUNTS, NOVEMBER 2020. BROUGHT IT BACK A WEEK LATER WHEN I COULD GET AN APPOINTMENT, STILL DOING IT. THEY CLAIM I AM NOT "STOPPING FULLY" BEFORE GOING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE, AND SAY THEY HAVE DONE ALL THEY COULD. SPOKE TO FRIEND WHO ALSO OWNS A DODGE JOURNEY. SHE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IT IS OBVIOUSLY DAMAGING THE TRANSMISSION EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS, AND THAT IT IS NOT SLIPPING WHEN ACCELERATING AND CHANGING GEARS (AUTO TRANSMISSION).

TRANSMISSION SPORADICALLY CLUNKS FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. DEALER REPLACED ALL MOTOR MOUNTS. STILL DOES IT.

TRANSMISSION BANG WHEN TAKING OF FROM A STOP

I WAS TRAVELING ON A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY GOING 50 MILES AN HOUR. I NOTICED A LOT OF CONGESTION AHEAD SO I HAD TO LEAN OVER BECAUSE THE CAR HAS BAD BLIND SITES DUE TO HEADRESTS ON ALL SEATS. WHEN I TURNED BACK THERE WERE MANY CARS STOPPED DEAD IN FRONT OF ME. I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES BUT DIDN'T EVEN SLOW DOWN. I REAR ENDED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. MY AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY NOR DID MY SEAT BELT EVEN TIGHTEN. MY ENTIRE BODY ESPECIALLY ON THE RIGHT SIDE SLAMMED THE STEERING WHEEL. MY KNEE SLAMMED THE COLUMN OR SOMETHING UNDERNEATH THE STEERING COLUMN. I HAVE A PERMANENT MARK. I HAD A SMALL PUNCTURED LUNG ON THE RIGHT SIDE AND MY RIGHT SHOULDER AND ARM WERE INJURED WHICH HAS NOW TURNED INTO RSD. EXTREMELY PAINFUL . I HAD CHRYSLER TEST IT BUT WILL ONLY SEND ME AN EMAIL SAYING NO PROBLEMS. NO REPORT. JUST AN EMAIL SAYING EXACTLY THAT.*DT*DT*JB*JB

THE TRANSMISSION IS STALLING AT 25739 MILES. I BOUGHT IT IN APRIL OF 2020, 6 MONTHS AGO. WHEN ACCELERATED THE ENGINE STRUGGLES TO GET OVER 65 MILES AND REVS INCREDIBLY. THEN THE TACHOMETER SHOOTS UP AND DOWN GIVING ME UNSTABLE SPEEDS. THIS HAPPENED ON THE EXPRESSWAY CONTINUOUSLY. IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND I AM TAKING IT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW. THERE IS ALSO A SHAKE I FEEL AND VIBRATION.

I RECENTLY TOOK A TRIP TO PIGEON FORGE TENNESEE FROM CHARL3STON WEST VIRGINIA. THE SPEED MOST OF THE DRIVE WAS 65MPH. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 43,000 MILES ON IT. I BOUGHT IT USED BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THE BRAKES SHOULD ALREADY BE WEARING DOWN. BRAKING DOWN HILL AT 65MPH THE BRAKES SEEMED TO ALMOST BE PULSATING BUT FELT LIKE THE ROTOR MAY HAVE BEEN WARPED AND THE SOUND WAS HORRIBLE! I FELT THE VIBRATIONS EVERY TIME I WOULD BRAKE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT AS I JUST SPENT A LOT OF MONEY ON THE CAR ITSELF! CITY DRIVING IS NOT AS BAD BUT IT IS STILL CONCERNING THAT INTERSTATE SPEEDS MAY BE AN ISSUE.

I HAD AN ACCIDENT THIS PASSED JULY 4, 2020 WHERE I HAD NO BRAKES. THAT EXPERIENCE WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN (PSTD). I TRAVELED THAT DAY 110 MILE ON THE FREEWAY AND REACHED MY DESTINATION STOPPED TO CHECK ADDRESS, THEN TURNED SLOWLY INTO A DRIVEWAY. MY FRIENDS PULLED THEIR CAR UP SO I CAN PARK BEHIND. I PULLED IN PRESSED ON BRAKES AND REALIZED THERE WERE NO BRAKES WHEN MY FOOT WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND CAR STARTED ACCELERATING. MY FRIENDS DRIVE IS ON A DECLINE. VERY HILLING AREA IN HARRISON MI. I STARTING PRAYING ASKING GOD TO NOT HIT THEIR CAR, THEN NOT HIT THEIR HOUSES AND I SAW BUSHES THINKING THEY WOULD STOP ME. BUT TO NO AVAIL THE CAR DROVE THROUGH THEM JUST MISSING A TELEPHONE POLE. MY CAR HEADED BACK TO THE STREET GOING TOWARDS THE HOUSE ACROSS THE STREET. I AM STILL PUMPING THE BRAKES. SO I TURNED TO MY LEFT AND WENT THRU A WOODED FENCE HIT A STONE STUMP AND WENT SAILING (ACCORDING TO THE NEIGHBOR OF THE HOUSE) FOUR FEET INTO THE AIR AND CAME CRASHING DOWN ON A TREE. IN MY MIND I WAS THINKING THIS TREE WILL STOP MY CAR PRAYING NOT ENDING MY LIFE. THE CAR HIT THE TREE AND LANDED ON THE GROUND PROCEEDING TO THE STREET AGAIN. I AM NOW DRIVING DOWN DODGE HWY WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC ON THE WRONG SIDE OF HIGHWAY. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK BUT THE CAR STILL DID NOT STOP. A STREET WAS COMING UP ON THE LEFT SIDE AND I TURNED TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC AND THIS STREET WAS GOING UPHILL AND THE CAR STOPPED. THE CAR HAS BEEN WITH DEALERSHIP SINCE JULY 6,2020 AND 5 WEEKS LATER ON AUGUST

WHEN PUSHING THE START BUTTON THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO TURN OVER BUT TAKES AWHILE BEFORE IT CRANKS AND IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN IT'S A COLD CRANK AND IT'S BEEN SITTING FOR AWHILE I'M PRETTY SURE IT'S THE FUEL PUMP.ALSO WHENEVER YOUR GETTING IN AND BACKING OUT THE BRAKES SQUEAK PRETTY BAD AND THIS VEHICLE HAS LESS THE 25K MILES ON IT. *TR

BURNING SMELL OF FLUID, PLASTIC OR METAL WHEN DRIVING THE CAR. *TR

UCONNECT DONT WORK HALF THE TIME, UCONNECT SAYS ITS A DEALER PROBLEM DEALER SAYS ITS A UCONNECT PROBLEM, READY TO GET IT ALL BACK
