ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, PARKING BRAKE, VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN
I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN AUGUST 2010 (IT IS A 2009) AND SINCE THEN, I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN THE SHOP 33 TIMES. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ALL BRAKES AND ROTORS, HAD FRONT PASSENGER-SIDE WINDOW MOTOR REPLACED, DRIVER-SIDE IS GOING OUT NOW, HAD LEAKING FROM THE CEILING, REPLACING THE CRACKED RADIATOR RIGHT NOW, HAD THE EMERGENCY BRAKE FIXED, NEEDED NEW RODS AND BUSHINGS, FUEL INJECTORS RUN LOUD, THERE IS A DRONE NOISE FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WHEN GOING 1800-2000 RPM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS SHORT OUT, HAD THE ELECTRIC THROTTLE INDICATOR LIGHT COME ON, CAR DIES ALL THE TIME, YET THE BATTERY IS FINE, ...BOTTOM LINE, THIS IS A LEMON. I HAVE THE R/T MODEL WHICH THE DEALERSHIP LIKES TO CLAIM "IS JUST THE NOISY ONE." THAT IS A VERY POOR ANSWER TOWARDS A CONSUMER. I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF MY VEHICLES AND TO PUT UP WITH THIS IS UPSETTING. I HAVE SPENT OVER $3000 IN REPAIRS IN THE 2 1/2 YEARS THAT I HAVE OWNED THIS SUV. CHRYSLER HAS MADE NO ATTEMPTS TO HELP WITH THESE COMMON PROBLEMS AND I KNOW THAT I WILL NOT SUPPORT THIS COMPANY BUY PURCHASING WITH THEM AGAIN. WHEN I BOUGHT A JOURNEY...I DIDN'T REALIZE BEING ABLE TO DRIVE IT WITHOUT PROBLEMS, WOULD BE SUCH A "JOURNEY." *TR

ENGINE
AS I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND TURNING INTO MY NEIGHBORHOOD I NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE BACK OF MY CAR AS I LOOKED IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ON OTHER THAN MY GAS LIGHT WHICH HAD JUST COME ON ABOUT A MILE BEFORE. I PULLED INTO MY PARKING SPACE AND THE CAR IMMEDIATELY BEGAN SMOKING FROM THE UNDERNEATH THE HOOD, ENOUGH TO ALERT ALL OF THE NEIGHBORS WHO CAME OUT THINKING A HOUSE WAS ON FIRE. I SAW FLAMES COMING FROM THE HOOD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AS I WAS EXITING THE CAR. ABOUT A MINUTE AFTER I GOT OUT OF THE CAR, THERE WAS A LOUD EXPLOSION FROM UNDERNEATH THE HOOD, AND THE CAR STARTED TO KICK OUT MORE SMOKE THAN BEFORE. MY NEIGHBOR CAME OVER TO OPEN THE HOOD AFTER A FEW MINUTES. THERE WERE NO MORE FLAMES, BUT THE HEAT SHIELD METAL HAD MELTED FROM THE HEAT, AS DID PARTS OF MY ENGINE, THE ENGINE COVER, HOSES, AND METAL CONNECTIONS. (UNSURE OF THE TRUE MECHANICAL LINGO). THE INCIDENT WAS REPORTED TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY AS A LOSS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHILE DRIVING ALONG, NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEMS WENT BLANK, RADIO/PHONE/ETC WENT DEAD, AND TURN SIGNALS BECAME INOPERABLE (WAS ABLE TO USE EMERGENCY FLASHERS TO WARN OTHER DRIVERS WHILE CHANGING LANES). BROUGHT TO DEALER, WAS FOUND TO BE IGNITION MODULE DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY SO KEY ENDS UP IN INVALID POSITION - CAUSING SYSTEM FUNCTIONS TO NOT OPERATE. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS IGNITION SWITCH, IN WHICH THEY P,LACED SPACERS TO KEEP THE SWITCH FROM ACTUALLY TURNING THE CAR OFF, BUT APPARENTLY, IT DOES NOT ACTUALLY FIX THE PROBLEM OF THE KEY GOING INTO THE WRONG POSITION, JUST REDUCES IT'S RANGE. THE MANUFACTURER CHARGED TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE IGNITION MODULE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES AND COMING TO A STOP THERE WAS AN AWFUL GRINDING NOISE AND IT FELT AS IF THE VEHICLE MIGHT BE JERKING OR NOT STOPPING CORRECTLY. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FIRST THING ON MONDAY AND AFTER THEIR INSPECTION WAS TOLD THAT THE REAR BRAKE PADS ARE DEFECTIVE. THERE WAS SOME SURFACE RUST ON THE PADS AND ROTORS, BUT I WAS TOLD THAT IS NORMAL AND THAT THESE PARTS ACCUMULATE RUST OVERNIGHT BUT IT NORMALLY GRINDS OFF WHEN DRIVING THE NEXT DAY. THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT HAVE THE REAR BRAKE PADS OR ROTORS IN STOCK, SO THEY ARE ON ORDER. I WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE WOULD BE OK TO DRIVE UNTIL THE PARTS COME IN AND THEY INSTRUCTED ME THAT I HAD TO COME PICK THE JOURNEY BACK UP AND COULD NOT LEAVE IT AT THE DEALERSHIP. WITH THE GRINDING NOISE, VEHICLE JERKING AND NEW KNOWLEDGE OF THE "DEFECTIVE" PARTS, I AM NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE RIGHT NOW. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN SEPTEMBER OF 2011 I'VE HAD PROBLEMS FROM THE RADIO NOT WORKING, POWER OUTLETS NOT WORKING, BAD CYLINDER HEADS, HAVE RANDOM LOSS OF ACCELERATION, BAD GAS TANK AND FUEL PUMP. ACCORDING TO THE TECHNICIAN AT THE DEALER THE JOURNEY HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE CYLINDER GOING BED WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR. THE FUEL PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED TWICE. THE FIRST TIME THEY REPLACED IT I BROKE DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY 3 DAYS LATER WITH MY FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKES AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND THE VEHICLE SHUTOFF. I WAS A SITTING DUCK WAITING TO BE HIT BE ONCOMING VEHICLES. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER AND 3 DAYS LATER I'M TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE IS FIXED BUT I NEED TO REPLACE THE BRAKES BECAUSE THEY WERE AT 0%. FIRST OF ALL I JUST HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRES 2 MONTHS PRIOR AND MY BRAKES WERE FINE NOW I HAVE NO BRAKES AT ALL. SECONDLY THEY SAID THEY ROAD TESTED THE VEHICLE THE FIRST TIME THEY SHOULD HAVE FIXED THE ISSUE BUT YET THEY DIDN'T TELL ME I NEEDED NEW BRAKES. I COULDN'T FUEL MY VEHICLE TO FULL. IT GENERALLY STOP AROUND 3/4. THEY HAVE REPLACED EVERYTHING THERE IS TO REPLACE AND THE CAR STILL DOESN'T WORK. AFTER THE SECOND TIME THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED I WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE WAS FIXED I PICKED IT UP AND IT WAS WORSE THAN WHEN I DROP IT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS MAKING LOUD NOISES, VIBRATING, AND I STILL COULDN'T TELL HOW MUCH GAS WAS IN THE TANK. ON TOP OF ALL OF THAT THEY TRIED TO CHARGE ME 20 DOLLARS FOR GAS AND WHEN I REFUSED TO PAY THEY TOOK THE GAS OUT THE VEHICLE AND LEFT IT ON THE LINE NEXT TO THE E. I HAD ENOUGH GAS TO MAKE IT TO THE GAS STATION. NEEDLESS TO SAY I'M STILL WITHOUT A VEHICLE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WENT OUT TO START THE CAR TO GO TO WORK AND THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO START IT. I TRIED FOR SEVERAL MINUTES TO START THE CAR AND IT WOULD NOT START, THERE WOULD JUST BE A CLICKING SOUND. I EVEN TRIED TO JUMP START IT AND THAT DIDN'T WORK. SO AFTER READING POSTS ONLINE FROM OTHER OWNERS I HAD MY WIFE BUY A BATTERY AND THEN AFTER SOME TRYING IT DID. START. I HAVE SINCE THIS FIRST INCIDENT EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE MAKING IT A TOTAL OF THREE TIMES WITHIN THREE WEEKS. I WOULD GO OUT TO START THE CAR AND IT WOULD JUST CLICK WITHOUT STARTING. I ALSO FOUND THIS ON ANOTHER SITE FROM SOMEONE WHO HAD THE SAME ISSUE BUT INSTEAD OF ME THE CONSUMER SPENDING MY OWN MONEY TO SEE IF THIS IS THE PROBLEM, DODGE SHOULD BE DOING A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. (WE HAD AN ISSUE WITH OUR JOURNEY NOT STARTING. ALL OF THE DASH LIGHTS WOULD COME ON BUT IT WOULDN'T TURN OVER. THE DEALERSHIP STARTED BY RE-PROGRAMMING THE KEY FOB AND THEN REPLACED THE STARTER. BOTH HAD NO AFFECT ON THE PROBLEM AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO NOT TURN OVER AT THE MOST INCONVENIENT TIME. THE DAY BEFORE LEAVING ON VACATION, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP PROVIDED US WITH A RENTAL AND THEY KEPT THE CAR TO TRY AND FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. I HAD PROVIDED THEM WITH A LIST OF COMPLAINTS LISTED HERE WHICH HELPED THEM TO NARROW DOWN THE ISSUE. IT TURNS OUT THAT IT WAS THE SENSOR THAT TELLS THE CAR THAT IT'S IN PARK THAT WASN'T WORKING. ALTHOUGH THE CAR IS IN PARK, THE SENSOR WASN'T SENDING THE RIGHT MESSAGE AND WAS PREVENTING IT FROM STARTING. IT TOOK A MONTH BEFORE WE GOT THE CAR BACK BUT WE'VE BEEN RUNNING IT NOW FOR NEARLY TWO MONTHS AND NOT ONE INSTANCE HAS OCCURRED. IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE, HAVE THE DEALERSHIP REPLACE THIS SENSOR. IT WORKED FOR ME). *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON JUNE 15,2012. UNEXPECTEDLY, ON SEPTEMBER 22, 2012 MY VEHICLE LOST CONTROL AT THE LOCATION I 287NB EXIT 41A PARSIPPANY RAMP ONTO 80 E TRAFFIC THEN MY VEHICLE LOST CONTROL AND SLAMMED ONTO THE GUARD RAIL REPEATEDLY. I IMMEDIATELY NOTIFIED JOHN JOHNSON OF THE INCIDENT AND I PLEADED FOR THEM TO SEND ME A TOW TRUCK BECAUSE OF MY 100,000 MI WARRANTY. FURTHER, I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURERS CHRYSLER GROUP AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION. EVENTUALLY, BECAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT CAUSE AND EFFECT THEY TOOK THE VEHICLE AND SEND FOR A CONTRACTOR INSPECTOR FROM PENNSYLVANIA TO INSPECT THE CAR. AFTER THE INSPECTION, THE CONTRACTOR CONTACTED ME AND TOLD ME HE IS SENDING IN THE REPORT TO CHRYSLER AND WAIT A WEEK BEFORE CONTACTING THEM FOR A COPY OF THE REPORT. MOREOVER, I FOLLOWED UP, AND CHRYSLER COULD NOT TELL ME WHO WAS HANDLING MY CASE. FINALLY, AFTER PURSUING MY CASE SOMEONE TOLD ME THAT MY VEHICLE CASE FILE WAS CLOSED AND SENT TO THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT BECAUSE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT MY VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL WENT OUT. FURTHER, I WAS TOLD THAT SOMEONE WOULD BE IN CONTACT WITH ME SHORTLY. NO ONE CONTACTED ME AND SEVERAL WEEKS PASSED AND I STILL DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING FROM THE CHRYSLER GROUP. I TRIED AGAIN UNTIL I GOT AN ANSWER AND I WAS TOLD TO EXPECT A LETTER AND NO FURTHER INFORMATION WAS PROVIDED. EVENTUALLY, AFTER A LONG WAIT, I RECEIVED A LETTER THAT STATED THAT MY CLAIM IS DENIED AND THAT THE INSPECTOR DID NOT FIND ANY MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT CAUSED THE ACCIDENT. I ASKED FOR A COPY OF THE REPORT AND CHRYSLER REFUSE TO PROVIDE ME WITH THE INSPECTION REPORT THAT GATHERED INFORMATION FROM THE VEHICLE IMAGING ONBOARD COMPUTER SYSTEMS. ADDITIONALLY, I AM STILL WITHOUT MY CAR OR A CAR. MY FAMILY AND I HAVE HAD PAIN AND SUFFERING AND HARDSHIP OVER THIS ORDEAL. AND I AM STILL MAKING MONTHLY PAYMENTS FOR A CAR I DON'T HAVE OR DRIVE. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME? *TR
