ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES. STARTER SOUNDS LIKE IT'S STICKING AT START OF ENGINE THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE WE GOT THE VEHICLE. IN 2018 I HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY AND THE ALTERNATOR BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, AT ONE POINT WITH MY 5YR OLD DAUGHTER EXITING THE FREEWAY(A VERY SCARY AND EXTREMELY UNSAFE EXPERIENCE) REPLACED WATER PUMP AND TOP FRONT HOSE AFTER I FOUND PUDDLE OF FLUID FROM COOLANT TANK. OTHER WORK DONE ,REPLACED CV JOINTS, LOUD CLICKING WHEN SHARP TURNS WERE MADE AND SHOCKS AND STRUTS REPLACED. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AS IT DID BEFORE ALTERNATOR WAS FIXED. NOW I'M EXPERIENCING MORE ELECTRICAL ISSUES LIGHTS TURNING ON AND OFF ON THEIR OWN, AC WILL BLOW AIR SOME TIMES AND OTHER TIMES NO AIR AT ALL. THE TRACTION LIGHT COMES ON AND CAR WILL NOT GO OVER 20-30 MPH. GAS WILL NOT REV UP. GOING TO GET CAR TOWED TO THE MECHANIC TODAY TO DIAGNOSE . SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE MODEL. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE, WILL BE CALLING CHRYSLER AND DODGE DEALERSHIP.

MY 2010 DODGE JOURNEY STARTED RECENTLY ITS NOT STARTING WHEN I TURN THE KEY IT JUST GOES CLICK. AFTER A WHILE IT MIGHT START OR IF I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL IT MIGHT START. THE HORN ALSO GOES OFF ON IT'S ON FROM TIME TO TIME . THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY THE TIMES IT WOULDN'T START BUT IT WAS BOTH STATIONARY AND MOVING IN TRAFFIC WHEN HORN WENT OFF.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL/STABILITY LIGHT CAME ON. YOU COULD FEEL THE CAR LOOSEN UP, AND THE ENGINE SOUND LIKE IT WAS MISFIRING OR SKIPPING. THE CAR DID NOT LOSE POWER, AND RAN FINE THE NEXT TIME I DROVE IT. HOWEVER, IT HAS HAPPENED A FEW MORE TIMES. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP, SO WE WILL SEE WHAT THEY SAY. I DID SEE THAT THE 2012-2015 MODELS UNDERWENT A RECALL FOR SOMETHING SIMILAR. MAYBE IT IS THAT SAME ISSUE ON THIS MODEL. ALSO, A FEW MONTHS BACK I WAS DRIVING WHEN THE BOLTS HOLDING THE SERPENTINE BELT (DON'T KNOW THE EXACT NAME OF THE SYSTEM) BROKE OFF. THE CAR OVERHEATED AND COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. THEY USED SHORT 8MM BOLTS TO HOLD UP THE SYSTEM AND THEY FAILED. DEALERSHIP OR CHRYSLER WOULD NOT COVER COSTS OF AROUND $175 TO FIX, WITH NO ASSURANCE THAT A LONGER 8MM BOLT WOULD HOLD UP LONG TERM. THE CAR HAS LESS THEN 50K MILES ON IT.

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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HORN HONKS RANDOMLY BY ITSELF. PARKED, MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, OR DRIVING THIS IS DANGEROUS DISTRACTING FOR ME AND OTHER DRIVERS. SCARY STARTLES ME AND FREAKS MY NEIGHBORS OUT! DRAINING MY BATTERY TOO. ALSO A CLICKING SOUND WHEN NOTHING ON. I GOOGLED IT AND WAS SHOCKED TO FIND HUNDREDS OF OTHERS COMPLAINTS. I CALLED CRYSLER THEY SAID TO MAKE A COMPLAINT HERE AND IF ENOUGH COMPLAINTS A RECALL WILL BE ISSUED. I SURE HOPE NO ONE GETS HURT OR DIES WAITING FOR THE MANUFACTURER TO CORRECT THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THEY CLEARLY KNOW ABOUT BUT WILL NOT ADDRESS UNLESS THEY ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO. WHAT A SHAME CONSUMERS PAY GOOD MONEY FOR SUCH POOR SERVICE. I KNEW I SHOULD HAVE STAYED WITH A GMC!

MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ILLUMINATED FOR SOME TIME NOW. IT GOES OFF AND ON BUT FOR SEVERAL DAYS IT'S BEEN ON CONSTANTLY. I CALLED DODGE BECAUSE THEY'RE IS AN OPEN RECALL FOR SOMETHING TOTALLY DIFFERENT. I MENTIONED THIS AND THEY SAID THERE'S IS NO RECALL FOR IT BUT I CAN PAY A $130 DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO SEE WHAT'S WRONG. NOW, I'VE SEARCHED THIS WEBSITE AND I HAVE SEE THE VERY SAME COMPLAINT FROM SEVERAL CONSUMERS. SHOULDN'T THAT RAISE A RED FLAG!? WHY ARE WE ALL HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME EXACT MAKE AND MODEL? I WILL BE CONTACTING DODGE AND HAVE THEM DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. I HAVE A 16 YEAR OLD DRIVER AND I CAN'T IN GOOD FAITH EVEN PUT HER BEHIND THE WHEEL. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER DODGE. EVERY SINCE I HAVE PURCHASED THIS CAR IT'S BEEN RECALL AFTER RECALL. I'VE NEVER IN MY LIFE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH MY OTHER CARS AND IT'S INSANE! I'M CALLING DODGE!

THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM IN MY 2015 DODGE JOURNEY STOPPED WORKING. IT SHOWS NO MAP INPUT/NAVIGATION SYSTEM NOT ON VEHICLE. I HEARD THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING A LOT ON DODGE JOURNEYS. I TOOK IT IN AND THE WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE RADIO/SYSTEM. I WAS DRIVING WHEN IT SHUT DOWN. LUCKILY, I KNEW WHERE I WAS GOING BUT I DRIVE OUT OF TOWN A LOT WITH MY GRANDKIDS AND DEPEND ON THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM. THAT IS ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS I BOUGHT A VEHICLE WITH A NAVIGATION SYSTEM SO I WON'T GET LOST.
