WAS GETTING GAS. SHUT THE CAR OFF. WENT TO RESTART AND NOTHING. SITS AN HOUR OR SO THEN STARTS. NO RECALL, IM NOT THE ONLY ONE. SEEMS LIKE OH WELL. THANKS FOR LISTENING. *TR

VEHICLE WILL NOT START OR CRANK. ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS WORK WHEN DOOR IS OPEN, CLOSE THE DOOR NOTHING WORKS. BATTERY HAS PLENTY OF JUICE DOESN'T NEED JUMPED. DASH READS "BADKEY" FOR A MILLI SECOND WHEN YOU INSERT KEY FOB. WAIT AN HOUR OR SO AND THE CAR WILL START UP WITH NO PROBLEMS. TURN THE CAR OFF AND IT WILL NOT START AGAIN. DEALERSHIP WANTS TO REPLACE WIN MODULE AS A "STARTING POINT" SINCE THEIR COMPUTERS CAN'T GET CODE FROM THE CAR. *JS

I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKES 3 TIMES AND AM GOING TO NEED TO REPLACE THEM AGAIN. I ONLY HAVE 26,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I KNOW THE "SWEEP" AREA IS INSUFFICIENT FOR THE WEIGHT OF MY VEHICLE FROM WHAT RESEARCH I HAVE DONE. I AM WORRIED THAT THE BRAKES MIGHT FAIL WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR OR ON THE FREEWAY. I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY OWNERS TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. IT IS A PERSISTENT PROBLEM AMONG DODGE JOURNEY OWNERS. *JS

I LIKE SO MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING AN ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE. AT TIMES THE VEHICLE DOES NOT WANT TO START. I HAVE HAD IT TOWED 2 TIMES TO THE DEALER AND OF COURSE ONCE THEY GET THE VEHICLE THERE IT STARTS. THEY THEN TELL ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO FOR ME. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THEY WERE UNAWARE OF THE PROBLEM WHICH SEEMS SO FUNNY TO ME CAUSE EVERY WHERE I READ IT IS SOMETHING ABOUT THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY NOT STARTING. THIS IS MY FIRST AND LAST CHRYSLER PRODUCT I WILL EVER OWN. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DO YOU NEED BEFORE THEY ARE GOING TO DO SOMETHING? *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY JUMP-START THE VEHICLE WITH THE ASSISTANCE FROM ANOTHER DRIVER. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. WHILE EXAMINING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE BRAIN BOX UNDER THE HOOD AND THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY STARTED ON ITS OWN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND A LOOSE WIRE WAS REPAIRED. THE WIRE WAS LOCATED NEAR THE STARTED. THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000.

WE BOUGHT THIS CAR USED IN 2011. WE HAD AN INSPECTION DONE OF THE BRAKES BY THE DEALERSHIP WE BOUGHT FROM AND WERE INFORMED THE BRAKES WERE IN GOOD SHAPE. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP FOR REGULAR PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE AND THEY HAVE TOLD US THE BRAKES ARE IN GOOD SHAPE ALSO. THE LAST VISIT THEY TOLD US THE FRONT BRAKES WERE COMPLETELY GONE. THIS AFTER JUST 4000 MILES. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS ALSO FAILING. THE VEHICLE AT TIMES JUST WON'T START OR OTHER TIMES WILL SHUT DONE. WE FEEL THIS VEHICLE IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN AND FEEL WE HAVE A LEMON WITH NO COURSE OF ACTION AND STILL 5YEARS OF PAYMENTS.
