2010 DODGE JOURNEY Complaints

DODGE JOURNEY, ENGINE COMPLETE POWER DOWN/SHUT DOWN; LOSS OF ALL FUNCTION IN THE CAR, NO STEERING, NO BRAKES, NO LIGHTS

ON MARCH 18, 2007 WHILE BEING DRIVEN ON A SECONDARY ROAD, OUR 2010 DODGE JOURNEY, CLASS 1B3H80100, BEGAN HAVING SOME SORT OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEM, DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON, INTERIOR LIGHT STARTED GOING OFF AND ON, AND THEN THE VEHICLE CUT OFF ENTIRELY. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKES DON'T SEEM TO BE FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WITH 3 SEPARATE RECALL/WARRANTY NOTICES FOUND WHICH APPEAR TO COVER BRAKES, DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE STARTER ISSUE. THE DEALER STATED THEY WERE AWARE OF ONLY 1 RECALL. THEY INDICATED THAT SINCE IT WAS NEAR CLOSING TIME, THEY COULD NOT ADDRESS THE ISSUES UNTIL MONDAY. MY DAUGHTER AND HER 2 INFANTS USE THIS CAR. WHEN I PURCHASED IT, THE DEALER MENTIONED IT HAD BEEN 'RETURNED' AND HAD VERY LOW MILEAGE. WHEN ASKED WHY IT WAS RETURNED, THEY STATED THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER BOUGHT MANY VEHICLES FROM THEM, AND JUST NEEDED SOMETHING DIFFERENT. THE POTENTIAL DANGER OF AN ACCIDENT RESULTING FROM THE VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF WHILE IN MOTION NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED SO THAT NO ONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED. THANK YOU. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2010 DODGE JOURNEY ON 2/25 WITH 17K MILES. FIVE DAYS LATER I WAS DRIVING WITH MY 5 MTH OLD DAUGHTER AND IT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF! IT DID IT AGAIN LATER THAT DAY. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY SAID THEY FIND NOTHING WRONG. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE SINCE I GOT IT BACK FROM THE DEALER. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THEY AREN'T RELEASING INFORMATION ON THIS UNTIL AFTER APRIL! I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR - BUT AM FORCED TO SINCE I HAVE TO GET TO AND FROM WORK. I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTART - BUT IT IS VERY SCARY SINCE I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO SHUT OFF. WHAT IF IT DOES IT WHEN PULLING OUT ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY? DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO BE INJURED BEFORE THEY TAKE THIS PROBLEM SERIOUSLY? *TR

I BOUGH A NEW 2010 DODGE JOURNEY IN JUNE 2010 AND I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO EXIT ON RAMP. AS I WENT TO ACCELERATE I NOTICED THAT THE CAR WOULDN'T GO AND THE CAR WAS OFF, HOWEVER THE LIGHTS WERE STILL ON AND THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WERE ON ALSO. HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTART, ITS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE. BOTH TIMES I TOOK IT TO DODGE AND THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I AM SO AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. I DIDN'T KNOW THAT IT SHUT OFF.. HOW CAN I GET THEM TO FIX IT, WHEN THEY CAN'T EVEN FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT. I JUST HOPE THAT NO ONE HAS TO GET HURT BEFORE THEY ADMIT TO THIS CAR HAVING A PROBLEM. *TR
