WHILE INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING FLUID INSIDE THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO ADD POWER STEERING FLUID, IT LEAKED OUT ONTO THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WILDE CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM SOUTH STREET (1710 WI-164, WAUKESHA, WI 53186, (262) 544-5400) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING COOLER AND RETURN HOSE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER AWAITING PARTS FOR THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,000.

I'VE HAD THE CAR FOR 2 YEARS. SINCE I'VE HAD IT, IT WOULD RANDOMLY NOT START, THE HEAT WOULD ONLY WORK IN THE BACK VENTS. GOT EVERYTHING FIXED ASSOCIATED WITH STARTER, BATTERY, EVERYTHING. FOR THE LAST 6 MONTHS, MY ENGINE LIKE HAS BEEN ON, AND AN ESP LIGHT. I GOT THE ENGINE CHECKED, BRAKES FIXED, ROUTERS, BRAKE PEDAL SWITCH REPLACED AND IT'S STILL DOING THE EXACT THING. GEAR WON'T SHIFT SOMETIMES BUT IT ISN'T THE TRANSMISSION.NOW THEY ARE SAYING POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL ISSUE BUT THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS! AFTER I'VE PUT MORE THAN 1000 INTO EVERYTHING THAT HAS NOT FIXED THE ISSUE.

AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT COME ON IN A DASHBOARD. WHEN I START AND TURN THE KEY THE AIRBAG SIGN COME ON, THE CAR IS PARK.

THE TOTAL BILL WAS 383.17. IT'S FUNNY THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR AND MODEL YET MINE ISN'T RECALLED.

THE POWER STEERING RETURN HOSE AT THE RACK POSITION BROKE IN BELOW FREEZING CONDITIONS WHEN I FIRST STARTED IT A FEW WEEKS AGO. THE HOSE IS BROKE AND IT'S LEAKING POWER STEERING FLUID AND IT'S HARD TIME STEER THE VEHICLE AT TIMES. OTHER 09 DODHE JOURNEYS HAVE BEEN RECALLED, BUT MINE, SXT AWD WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ACCORDING TO THE VIN NUMBER. I FEEL IT SHOULD BE AND THE HOSE IS STILL CURRENTLY BROKEN. I AM ON A FIXED INCOME AND THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY CHRYSLER INSTEAD OF OUT OF MY POCKET. IT IS HIGHER MILEAGE AND THE MOTOR IS NOT THE ORIGINAL BUT THAT SHOULD NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO ME. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT.

TAKARA RECALL: WHEN LEAVING WORK I STARTED MY CAR AND BEGAN TO BACK OUT OF THE PARKING LOT WHEN I WENT TO PUSH ON MY BRAKES TO STOP MY CAR MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AS IF I HAD NOTHING BUT AIR. I CALLED AND HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A LOCAL SHOP 4 DIFFERENT MASTER CYLINDERS PUT ON THE CAR TWO NEW CALIPERS ON THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT AND BACK REPLACED ALONG WITH A NEW ABS MODULE AND BRAKE LINE HOSE ON THE FRONT LEFT SIDE 2500.00 LATER AND I STILL HAVE NO FRONT LEFT BRAKES!!!! COMPLETE NIGHTMARE AND IT IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE NOT ONE PERSON CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS OH I SHALL ADD WE ALSO REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS!

I OWN A 2009 DODGE JOURNEY THAT I PURCHASED IN JULY OF 2018. BEGINNING IN AUGUST I STARTED EXPERIENCING A NO CRANK NO START PROBLEM. THERE WERE 3 TIMES MY CAR WOULDN'T START WHILE I WAS AT HOME. MY CAR HAS BEEN TOWED APPROXIMATELY 9 TIMES SINCE SEPTEMBER INCLUDING 2 TIMES TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR OF THE PROBLEM IN OCTOBER. INITIALLY THE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED A DEAD CELL IN THE BATTERY. I PAID APPROXIMATELY $232.00 FOR A NEW BATTERY AND 2 1/2 WEEKS LATER I WAS STRANDED AGAIN DUE TO MY CAR NOT STARTING IN NOVEMBER, SINCE THEN I'VE HAD THIS PROBLEM 8 TIMES WHILE ATTEMPTING TO LEAVE MY HOME. ALL OF MY MAJOR PARTS ARE OPERATING CORRECTLY AND NOTHING IS DRAINING MY BATTERY. CAN CHRYSLER PLEASE ATTEMPT TO IDENTIFY WHAT IS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM? IT'S UNSAFE AND VERY INCONVENIENT THIS UNKNOWN ISSUE IS EXPENSIVE TO CONSTANTLY ATTEMPT TO FIX AND THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS.

NO START NO CRANK. SINCE TAKING MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIPS TO FIX THE RECALLS MY CAR WONT EVEN GO OUT OF PARK UNLESS THE CAR IS ON AND RUNNING.

MY POWER STEERING LINE BREAKS IN THE COLD. IT HAS DONE IT SEVERAL TIMES AND I'VE HAD TO REPLACE IT. DONE IT WHILE PARKED AND OFF AND WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY INCLUDED IN AND REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V373000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AIR BAGS). THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHORTLY AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, IT BECAME DIFFICULT TO START THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT TO START THE VEHICLE, THE IGNITION WAS PLACED IN THE ON POSITION AND THE STARTER WAS TAPPED TO START THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BAXTER CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM BELLEVUE (7713 S 19 TH ST, BELLEVUE, NE 68147, (402) 800-1256) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE A CAUSE FOR THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THREE MONTHS AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR, WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE SAME DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,000. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED.

''TAMARA RECALL ''THE PCM IT'S BEEN GETTING VERY HOT AND MESSING UP MY COMPUTER SYSTEM. I'VE BOUGHT 3 TIMES AND KEEPS ON MESSING UP MY COMPUTER SYSTEMS AND CANNOT EVEN TRANSFER POWER TO THE ALTERNATOR. THIS THEREFORE MAKE THE CAR BATTERY DIE ON ME WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION. IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES AND ONE WAS IN HE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE WITH THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) FOR YEARS. CURRENTLY, THE PCM MALFUNCTIONED AND THE RPMS REVVED TO 40 MPH WITHOUT ACCELERATION. THE CONTACT HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT WAITED BEFORE RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND REACHED APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE RPMS WOULD REV UP AGAIN. THE DEALER (SMOLICH MOTORS, 1865 NE HWY 20, BEND, OR 97701, (541) 389-1177) STATED THAT THE COOLER LINE WAS LEAKING AND THE TRANSMISSION PAD NEEDED TO BE RESEALED. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC REPAIRED THE VEHICLE, BUT THE FAILURES CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

SINCE SEPTEMBER 2018 CAR WOULD NOT START. HAD GONE TO THE DOCTOR AND PARKED IN THE LOT, WHEN I CAME OUT MY CAR WOULD NOT START AND I WAS STRANDED IN THE PARKING LOT UNTIL DARK AFTER THE CLINIC HAD CLOSED. TRIED STARTING IT MULTIPLE TIMES AND ONLY GOT A ʻCLICKʻ THEN NOTHING. HAD TO GET TOWED HOME. IʻM A 59 Y/O FEMALE WITH HEALTH ISSUES. BATTERY WAS NEW SO I HAD THE STARTER REPLACED THINKING MAYBE THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. MY CAR STILL HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. IT WOULD RANDOMLY START. SO ONCE I COULD GET IT STARTED, I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC. HE COULD NOT ISOLATE THE PROBLEM ALTHOUGH IT WOULD STILL RANDOMLY START AND RECOMMENDED THAT I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. I DID AND THE DEALER SAID EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT FINE BUT RECOMMENDED THAT I HAVE THE STARTER REPLACED AS WELL AS THE EGR SYSTEM AND HE QUOTED ME OVER $1200. I CANʻT AFFORD THAT. I HAD ALREADY PAID TO HAVE MY BATTERY TESTED AT SEARS WHERE I BOUGHT MY DIEHARD AND HAD BOUGHT A NEW STARTER THAT MY BROTHER INSTALLED. INSTEAD, I TOOK IT BACK TO MY MECHANIC WHO REPLACED IT WITH ANOTHER STARTED AND EGR SYSTEM FOR $300 LESS. IT ONLY WORKED FOR A FEW DAYS. I ONLY GET A CLICK THEN NOTHING. TODAY, I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I TRAVEL 30 MILES EACH WAY TO GET TO WORK AND THIS IS FRUSTRATING. I TRIED THE ʻBRAKE, ON, NEUTRALʻ AND IT DIDNʻT WORK. I FINALLY GOT IT TO START THIS MORNING WHEN I DID THE ʻBRAKE, ON, MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT SIDE TO SIDE IN THE PARK POSITIONʻ BUT WHEN I GOT OFF WORK THIS AFTERNOON, THAT DIDNʻT WORK. INSTEAD, I DID THE ʻBRAKE, ON, NEUTRAL, PARKʻ AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. I DONʻT KNOW IF IT WILL WORK TOMORROW THOUGH. IS THERE A PERMANENT RESOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM BESIDES NOT BUYING ANOTHER CHRYSLER MADE VEHICLE AND JUNKING THE ONE I HAVE?

POWER STEERING RETURN LINE RUPTURES IN COLD WEATHER. THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL FOR SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR BUT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT UNDER THAT RECALL. RECALL #S08. I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUES SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR USED IN 2013. EVERY YEAR WHEN IT GETS COLD OUT I START THE VEHICLE AND THE LINE BURST LEAKING POWER STEERING FLUID EVERYWHERE. I HAVE NOT HAD THE MONEY TO REPLACE THE LINES AND THIS HAS BEEN HAPPING FOR 5 YEARS NOW. THIS HAS NOW CREATED A SEAL ON THE POWER STEERING PUMP TO LEAK AS WELL. NOW I HAVE POWER STEERING FLUID ALL OVER MY ENTIRE ENGINE BECAUSE OF THE PUMP LEAKING EVERYWHERE. I CALLED DODGE AND THEY WERE NOT HELPFUL TOLD ME IT'S A VIN SPECIFIC ISSUE AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT WHEN I'M CLEARLY HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. PLEASE HELP!!

I HAD A BIG ACCIDENT AND NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. *DT VIN IS INVALID. *JB

THE POWER STEERING HOSE RUPTURED CAUSING FAILED STEERING CONTROL ALMOST LEADING TO THE VEHICLE HITTING THE HOUSE. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THE THE HOSE HAS RUPTURED. THE TWO OTHER OCCURRENCES WAS WINTER 2017-2018. THIS ONLY SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE IN COLD WEATHER. I SEE THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE INVOLVING THIS MODEL IF IT CONTAINS A ENGINE OIL COOLER. SEEM THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE DESCRIBING THIS SAME ISSUE ON LINE IN THE US AND CANADA.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE MADE LOUD ABNORMAL NOISES AND WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF SECOND GEAR. IN ADDITION, THE TRACTION CONTROL AND CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. ESSIG MOTORS (2204 SE 3RD ST, ALEDO, IL 61231, (309) 582-5336) INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE POWER TRAIN MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 193,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, THE DRIVESHAFT MADE AN ABNORMAL NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSFER CASE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 203,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED SMOKE OUTSIDE THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BLACKED OUT; HOWEVER, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DID NOT STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT CALLED JIM BROWNE CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM TAMPA BAY AT 813-452-5499 (LOCATED AT 10909 N FLORIDA AVE, TAMPA, FL 33612) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ALSO STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90,000.

THE CAR WOULD RANDOMLY FAIL TO START. SOMETIMES THE BATTERY WOULD COMPLETELY DRAIN. PUTTING IT IN NEUTRAL WOULD SOMETIMES WORK BUT NOT ALWAYS.

JOURNEY WOULD NOT START DESPITE HEALTHY BATTERY & OTHER COMPONENTS WHILE STATIONARY. HAD HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AFTER BEING DRIVEN FOR ABOUT 30 MILES OR AFTER SITTING OVERNIGHT. HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE ISSUE. HUNDREDS OF OTHER DODGE OWNERS COMPLAIN IN ONLINE FORUMS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. PROBLEM DIDN'T START UNTIL WE HAD THE RECALL REPAIRS DONE FOR THE IGNITION AND AIRBAGS.

BOUGHT A USED 2009 DODGE JOURNEY IN FEBRUARY, HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY AND STARTER IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS. SOMETIMES WE CAN START THE CAR NORMALLY, SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO JUMP THE CAR OFF. YESTERDAY, THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT OR START, TRIED THE NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH WHICH ENABLED ME TO PUSH THE JOURNEY BUT STILL WOULD NOT CRANK. RESEARCH ONLINE SHOWS THAT MANY OTHER CONSUMERS HAVE OR ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. I FEEL DODGE NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND FIGURE OUT WHY THESE VEHICLES ARE MALFUNCTIONING. IT'S COSTING US MONEY AND TIME WE DO NOT HAVE TRYING TO CHASE DOWN AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. I EVEN HAD THE PCM CHECKED OUT AND IT TOO WAS IN A GOOD BILL OF HEALTH

DRIVERS SIDE HAS SEMI WARM AIR WHEN HEAT IS ON VENT, PASSENGER SIDE BLOWS COLD. THE DEFROSTER BLOWS FREEZING COLD AIR ON PASSENGER SIDE. DOES NOT ALWAYS SWITCH OVER TO DEFROSTER CAUSING IT VERY HARD TO SEE WHEN WINDSHIELD IS FOGGED OVER. ACTUATORS HAVE BEEN CHANGED OUT. REAR HEAT WORKS GREAT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS INADVERTENTLY HIT AND SWITCHED INTO NEUTRAL. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS LOOSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DICK SCOTT CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (684 ANN ARBOR RD W, PLYMOUTH, MI 48170, (734) 451-2110) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO FAILURE AND WAS HOW THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

CAR DOES NOT START AFTER BEING PARKED - SOMETIMES WHEN TURNED OFF FOR A SHORT TIME (LIKE GETTING GASOLINE), SOMETIMES AT THE END OF A WORK DAY OR OVERNIGHT. THE CAR WILL SOMETIMES START ON ITS OWN AFTER LEAVING IT ALONE FOR MORE THAN A FEW HOURS. CAR HAS BEEN INTO SHOP SEVERAL TIMES AND HAS HAD THE FOLLOWING DONE: CHANGED TO NEW BATTERY 2X, CHECKED ALTERNATOR, RAN COMPUTER DIAGNOSTIC. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN THE PAST YEARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW WAS IN THE DOWN POSITION AND FAILED TO CLOSE. THE CONTACT PLACED A BAG ON THE WINDOW; HOWEVER, WATER ENTERED THE VEHICLE. AFTERWARDS, WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, SMOKE EMERGED FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR, THE OTHER REMAINING DOORS FAILED TO LOCK, AND THE WINDOWS FAILED TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT TO CALL NHTSA. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 175,000.

I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE DAY ONE OF BUYING THIS CAR. INTERMITTENTLY LAGS OR DOES NOT START FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. RADIO GOES IN AND OUT LIGHTS COME ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING. SOMETIME THE BRAKE LIGHTS WORK SOMETIMES THEY DONT NO ONE KNOWS WHY. GOT STUCK IN A PARKING GARAGE FOR NINE HOURS ONE DAY BECAUSE THE CAR LOST ALL POWER COULD NOT PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL AND I COULD NOT FIND A TOW TRUCK SMALL ENOUGH TO TOW ME OUT. THEN 9 HOURS LATER IT STARTED. NOW I SMELL BURNING UNDER THE DASH AND MY AC ONLY WORKS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHILE THE DRIVER SIDE BLOWS OUT HOT. THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE WIRING OF THIS CAR. THIS CAR HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP OVER 20 TIME UNDER WARRANTY FOR ALMOST ALL THE SAME PROBLEM WITH JO RESOLVE. THEY CANT RECREATION THE PROBLEMS SO I PAY DEDUCTABLES AND RENTAL CAR FEES TO GET BACK THE SAME BROKEN CAR.

FOR THE MILLENTH TIME SINCE PURCHASING THIS CAR IN 2014 IT FAILED TO START AGAIN!!! I HAVE HAD EVER MECHANIC UNDER THE SUN CHECK ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS, BATTERIES, STARTERS, ALTERNATORS, FUSES ETC. THEY FIND NOTHING WRONG BUT THE CAR CONTINUES TO SIMPLEY NOT START. I'VE READ A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. DID ANYONE EVER FIGURE OUT WHY AND WHAT DODGE IS DOING ABOUT IT? SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS WHEN MY CAR IS PARKED ANGLED. SOMETIMES ON FLAT PAVEMENT. I GOT STUCK WITH MY NEWBORN DAUGHTER SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR AND WENT BACK TO DEPAULA DEALER I PURCHASED IT FROM IN ALBANY NY AND THEY APOLOGIZED AND SAID THEY CHECKED EVERYTHING AND NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. I'M SCARED TO BE STUCK WITH MY KIDS SOMEWHERE AND HONESTLY TIRED OF SENDING IT TO THE MECHANIC ONLY TO HEAR THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. ANY IDEAS OR DIRECTIONS TO GIVE THE MECHANIC WOULD BE GREAT. DOES DODGE ACTUALLY HAVE THE ANSWER AND JUST DON'T WANT TO ISSUE A RECALL. I DON'T CARE IF I HAVE TO PAY TO GET IT FIXED. I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED!!! THANK YOU

I HAVE A 2009 DODGE JOURNEY, WHEN THE HEAT IS ON IN THE VEHICLE THE PASSENGER SIDE BLOWS COLD AIR ON ONE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE I'VE BEEN ON THE INTERNET AND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING, AND THE DEALERSHIP ARE CHARGING $600-$1200 TO FIX THE PROBLEM, WHEN THIS IS A CAR DEFECT, PERIOD.....

FAULTY TIPM . CAR STARTS INTERMITTENTLY. DEALERSHIPS AND ALL MECHANICS ARE UNABLE TO RESOLVE. THERE ARE DODGE FORUMS EVERYWHERE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WHY WONT DODGE RECALL IT ALREADY? MY ANTITHEFT LIGHT COMES ON AND DISABLES THE CAR. WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR, SOME DAYS IT STARTS AND SOME DAYS IT DOESN'T. NO ERROR CODES COMING UP. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH, AND STARTER.

WHEN A CERTAIN LIGHT APPEARS IT CAUSES MY BRAKE LIGHTS TO GO OUT. I HAVE BEEN PULLOVER MULTIPLE TIMES AND ALMOST IN ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS. I HAVE CHILDREN. I HAVE REPLACED MULTIPLE BULBS FOR NOTHING. THIS CAR HAS BEEN AN SAFETY HAZARD. I WORKED SOOOOOOO HARD TO PAY OFF I SHOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE A SAFE RELIABLE VECHILE. I AM A CNA I HAVE CLIENTS THAT I NEED TO TRANSPORT AND I CANT WHICH IS CAUSING ME TO BE BROKE BECAUSE I CANT WORK. IF YOU HAVE A HEART PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME AND MY FAMILY.

CAR WILL NOT START, ONLY CLICKS. SOUNDS COME FROM THE STEREO. THIS HAS BEEN AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM FOR ABOUT 5 YEARS (I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN DECEMBER 2009). I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY TWICE. THIS PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE, AS IT HAPPENED YESTERDAY AND AGAIN TODAY. IT JUMPS EASILY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS LOW SPEEDS, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, WHICH WAS A SAFETY CONCERN. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. A DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 143,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2009 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STOPPED IN TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE WAS REAR-ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE IMPACT CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO BECOME AIRBORNE AND WAS THROWN TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY CAUSING HER HEAD TO SNAP BACK AND FORTH. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED LEG, BROKEN RIBS, NECK AND HEAD INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW YARD AND DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. THE DEALER WAS NOT CALLED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 126,000.

CAR WILL NOT START AT TIMES, HAVE TO LET SIT FOR ABOUT AN HOUR BEFORE IT WILL START. HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUE FOR MONTHS. CHANGED BATTERY BUT THAT HAS NOT HELPED. I HAVE POWER TO THE CAR BUT THE ENGINE WILL NOT TURN OVER. SENSOR IN STEERING WHEEL FOR AIRBAG IS ALSO LOOSE, LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF

MY CAR RANDOMLY DOESN'T START. I WILL BE PARKED, TURN OFF CAR TO RUN IN STORE WHEN I COME BACK OUT CAR WONT START. BATTERY HAS BEEN CHANGED. STILL SAME ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL POWER TRAIN SYSTEM IS NOT FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY. THE CAR WILL NOT START EVEN AFTER GETTING A NEW BATTERY AND REPLACING FUSES. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY PARKED IN A PARKING LOT.

HORN RANDOMLY SOUNDS OFF WHILE PARKED, WHILE DRIVING. STARTED JULY 2018. AUGUST 2018 TOOK TO A DEALERSHIP, WHO COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. ALSO, WROTE TO CHRYSLER CORPORATION NOTING THE PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM. CHRYSLER KEPT REFERRING ME TO DEALERSHIP. NO HELP FROM EITHER. I RESEARCHED AND FOUND THERE IS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH THE TIPM AND CAN CAUSE THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING. AS OF SEPTEMBER 15,2018, NEITHER DEALERSHIP NOR CHRYSLER CORP WILL LISTEN TO ME ABOUT THE TIPM ISSUE. I NOW DRIVE WITH NO HORN (FOUND OUT HOW TO REMOVE THE FUSES), CAUSING A HUGE SAFETY RISK. I NEED HELP AND NO ONE WILL HELP WITH THIS PROLEM. HORN HAS SOUNDED IN PARKING LOTS CAUSING PEOPLE TO GET ANGRY AS THEY THINK I AM HONKING AT THEM OR PEOPLE HAVE COME RUNNING OUT FROM BUILDINGS TO SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING, ONE TIME HORN SOUNDED AS AN ELDERLY LADY ENTERED A CROSSWALK AND IT SCARED HER HORRIBLY, IT SOUNDS WHILE DRIVING CAUSING OTHER DRIVERS TO BECOME ANGRY BECAUSE THEY THINK I AM HONKING AT THEM. MY CAR IS UNUSABLE IF I LEAVE FUSES IN...DANGEROUS IF I TAKE FUSES OUT.

CAR EXPERIENCES INTERMITTENT IGNITION FAILURE. WHILE STATIONARY WITH KEY IN IGNITION, IT WILL CLICK BUT NOT START. WE HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, AND STARTER BUT IT CONTINUES TO HAVE ISSUES STARTING OVER THE PAST 3 MONTHS. SOMETIMES IT WILL START FINE, BUT OTHER TIMES IT TAKES SEVERAL TRIES OVER A PERIOD OF 30 MINUTES. THE MECHANICS CANNOT FIND THE SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM EVEN WHEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE.

JUST REPLACED BATTERY. WAS WORKING AND STARTING FINE AFTER REPLACING FOR A FEW WEEKS. WENT TO WORK YESTERDAY MORNING AND LEFT FOR LUNCH WITH NO ISSUES. WENT TO START CAR TO RETURN TO WORK AFTER LUNCH AND WOULDN'T TURN OVER AT ALL. I WOULD TURN THE KEY AND GET ONE CLICK BUT NOT TURNING OVER. MY RADIO, LIGHTS AND WINDOWS ALL WORK WHEN KEY IS IN THE ON POSITION. CHARGED THE BATTERY FOR NEARLY 40 MINUTES AND STILL NO START ONLY A CLICK. HAVE ALSO HAD ON-GOING ISSUES WITH WIRING HARNESSES THROUGHOUT VEHICLE.

HORN HAS STARTED HONKING INTERMITTENTLY, USUALLY WHILE STATIONARY AND USUALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT (THIS STARTED MID JUNE OF 2018). LAST NIGHT, STARTING AT 12:30AM, THE HORN HAS SOUNDED AT LEAST ONCE OR SEVERAL TIMES EVERY HOUR. CHANGING BATTERY IN REPLACEMENT KEY FOB HAS DONE NOTHING. (KEY FOB WAS RECALLED AND REPLACED SEVERAL YEARS AGO). CAN'T GET AN APPOINTMENT WITH A LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP FOR A WEEK SO HAVE NO IDEA WHY THIS IS HAPPENING.

TAKATA RECALL ON MY VEHICLE IS POSSIBLE WITH MY TRANSMISSION. WHILE I WAS IN MOTION AND IN DRIVE MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO REV AND NOT GAIN ANY SPEED. TAKATA RECALL, MY CRUISE CONTROL LIGHT COME ON WHEN IN PARK BUT DOES NOT WORK WHILE I AM DRIVING.

I'VE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH MY DODGE JOURNEY MY RPM RAMP UP TO 4-5 WHENEVER I ATTEMPT TO GO 40-45MPH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. I TOOK IT TO BUTTON DODGE AND THEY FIXED SOMETHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH MY TRANSMISSION. LESS THEN A MONTH LATER IT STARTS DOING IT AGAIN. SO CAN YOU GIVE ME SOME ADVICE ON WHY. ALSO MY LOCKS AND WINDOWS AND TURN SIGNAL DON'T WORK RIGHT.
