2017 DODGE JOURNEY Complaints

MY DODGE JOURNEY HAD TRANSMISSION FAILURE ALONG WITH THE GAS TANK NOT BEING ABLE TO FILL UP TO THE F. MY CAR JERKED TO MOVE FORWARD AND THE GAS PEDAL WOULD NOT CAUSE THE CAR TO MOVE FORWARD. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOOK ABOUT A WEEK AND A HALF TO FIX IT. HERE I AM ONE WEEK LATER HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND NEEDING TO BRING IT BACK TO REFIX THE ISSUE. THERE IS A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE AND HAVING TO HAVE THE SAME TRANSMISSION ISSUES RETURN FOR FIXING TWO TO THREE TIMES BEFORE THE CAR IS FIXED RIGHT. THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL CAR BUT A TRANSMISSION ISSUE THAT NEEDS SEVERAL FIXES BEFORE THE CAR EVEN REACHES 1200000 MILES TO CHANGE TRANSMISSION FLUID IS NOT A GOOD LOOK. THE TRANSMISSION NEED TO BE RECALLED AND NEW TRANSMISSIONS SHOULD BE GIVEN TO PEOPLE WHO OWN THIS BRAND OF VEHICLE. I ONLY HAVE ONE CAR AND NEED THIS VEHICLE TO PUT FOOD ON MY TABLE FOR MY FAMILY DURING A NEVER ENDING PANDEMIC AT THAT. THE TRANSMISSION ON THESE VEHICLES ARE NOT RELIABLE EVEN AFTER FIXING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SEAT BELT ON THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE FAILED TO SECURELY LATCH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER NAPLETON'S RIVER OAKS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (17225 TORRENCE AVE, LANSING, IL 60438, (708) 782-4768) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE ASSEMBLY TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 17,000. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED.

THIS IS THE SECOND DODGE JOURNEY NOW THAT I HAVE OWNED AND BOTH OF THEM HAVE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE BACK TAIL LIGHTS AS WELL AS THE REAR WINDSHIELD WIPERS LEFT TAIL LIGHT AND BOTH OF MY VEHICLES. ALSO WITH MY SECOND DODGE JOURNEY WITH BOTH OF THE CARS I HAVE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AS WELL AND I ALSO HAVE AIRBAG WARNING ALWAYS GOING OFF OF MY CARD WHEN I MAKE TURNS. SO WHAT THE TRANSMISSION IT SPIDERS AS YOU ARE DRIVING I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A DEALERSHIP AND IT SAID THAT THERE IS THREE RECALLS BUT FOR SOME REASON ON YOUR WEBSITE IT SHOWS NO RECALLS ALSO WHAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS IN THE REAR ONLY I PUT IT AT MY CAR IN REVERSE AND ALL SUDDEN THEY TURN ON BY THEMSELVES AND THEY'LL STAY ON AND DON'T WANT TO TURN OFF UNTIL IT FEELS LIKE TURNING OFF BUT MY LEFT TAIL LIGHT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE NOW FOR TWO YEARS AND I'VE HAD TO SWITCH ABOUT 12 LIGHTS AND NOW TO WHERE NONE WILL NOT WORK AT ALL AND FOR THE AIRBAG WARNING SYSTEM NO ONE WILL BE SITTING IN MY PASSENGER SEAT AND WHEN I'M MAKING A TURN ALL OF SUDDEN MY AIRBAG ALARM WILL BE GOING OFF.

FIANC LEANING ON SEAT FROM MIDDLE ROW AND DRIVER SEAT HEADREST DEPLOYED AND SEPARATED, WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK

WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, A RED BATTERY IMAGE DISPLAYED ON THE MENU CENTER SCREEN.NEXT DAY HAD IT CHECKED, WAS TOLD ALL WAS FINE,EVERYTHING CHECK OUT..A WEEK LATER WAS ON FREEWAYAGAIN,HEADLIGHTS FLICKED, RADIO WENT DEAD(DISPLAY &SOUND) TWICE, ENGINE BOGGED DOWN BRIEFLY. CAR IS IN SHOP NOW..TWO DAYS.AND NO ACCURATE DIAGNOSIS..THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A WELL-DOCUMENTED PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL OF VEHICLE..HAS THIS CAUSED DEATH? WILL IT LEAD TO DEATH, YES, IS THERE HELP FOR THE CONSUMERS?? I'M AWARE OF NUMEROUS ELECTRONICAL PROBLEMS WITH THESE AND OTHER DODGE VEHICLES. AS I HAVE OWNED ONE IN THE PAST WITH A SIMILAR PROBLEM. THAT COST ME THOUSANDS , AND COULD NOT BE FIXED, EVEN BY A TECH FROM CORPORATE OUT OF STATE..NOW WITH MY CURRENT SITUATION HOW CAN I BE CONFIDENT ON THE ROAD? ALSO WHY, WHEN THE DEALERSHIP KNOW(FOR A FACT) THEIR VEHICLES HAVE THESE ISSUES. THEY CHARGE A $180.00 DIAGNOSTIC FEE, THAT CAN NOT BE APPLIED TO REPAIR..UNFAIR AND CRIMINAL TO PUT VEHICLES ON THE ROAD THEY KNOW ARE FAULTY..FAULTY AS IN ELECTRONIC ISSUES THAT NO ONE CAN PINPOINT..AND IT APPEARS THAT IF THEY THROW ENOUGH PARTS AT IT, MAYBE THAT WILL WORK...THESE ISSUES MUST STOP!!

FIRST IT WAS ALL THE LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD WOULD STAY ON. MY USB AND CHARGING PORTS WOULD GO OUT. EVERY ONCE IN WHILE MY DIGITAL SPEEDOMETER WOULD RANDOMLY START DOUBLING MY SPEED. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY APPARENTLY REPLACED THE PART NEEDED. THAT SEEMED TO FIX THAT PROBLEM AT LEAST FOR NOW. BUT NOW THE SPEEDOMETER HERE AND THERE WILL ACT UP AGAIN. WHEN IT DOES , IT'S ALMOST AS IF THE ENGINE IS WORKING AGAINST ME TO GO. IT FEELS LIKE IT TRIES TO STOP ME WHEN I AM PRESSING THE GAS TO GO. IT DOES NOT DO THIS ALL THE TIME. BUT IT IS MORE FREQUENT THAN USUAL. WE JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE A LITTLE LESS THAN TWO YEARS AGO. IT STARTED OFF WITH MINOR THINGS , BUT NOW SEEMS TO BE TURNING FOR THE WORSE. I AM CONCERNED OF IT GO OUT ALL TOGETHER COMPLETELY.DEALERSHIP WE WENT TO MADE IT SEEM LIKE IT WAS NOTHING. BUT BEING A DAILY DRIVING I KNOW OTHERWISE.

AS MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING FOR WORK FOR THE CENSUS, THE ENGINE LIGHT AND THE MESSAGE NOTIFICATION ENVELOPE BOTH APPEARED ON THE DASH SCREEN THEY FLASHED ON ONCE FLASHED OFF AND FLAMES BLEW OUT FROM BOTH FRONT WHEELS WELLS. THE CAR IMMEDIATELY WENT UP IN FLAMES AND MY HUSBAND WAS LUCKY TO GET OUT OF THERE ALIVE.*DT*DT*DT CONSUMER STATED VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED.*JB*JB*DT*DT*JB THE CONSUMER PROVIDED PHOTOS. *TR*DT*TR*JB

OTHER DRIVER RAN RED LIGHT CAUSING ME TO HIT THEM AT AN INTERSECTION. I WAS TRAVELING 40MPH. MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. FRONT OF MY VEHICLE WAS TOTALED.*DT*DT*JB*JB

AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON FOR A FEW DAYS. AFTER A FEW DAYS THE LIGHT DOESN'T COME ON AND IT THEN IT COME BACK ON. WHEN IT DOES LIGHT UP IT DINGS. THE A/C AUTOMATICALLY TURNS ON AFTER I TURN IT OFF AND THE TOUCHSCREEN STARTS TO FLICKER WHEN THAT HAPPENS. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE 2/18/2020

AFTER RECLINING THE SEAT, THE PASSENGER'S SIDE HEADREST DEPLOYED. AT THE TIME THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN A PARKING LOT. NOT SURE WHY THAT HAPPENED. DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS, TAKE IT TO THE DEALER OR WHAT. IS THERE A RECALL ON THE HEADRESTS?
