2017 DODGE JOURNEY Complaints

MY HORN RANDOMLY BLOWS WHILE PARKED. VEHICLE IS IN PARK AND THE DOORS ARE SHUT AND LOCKED. NO ONE AROUND THE VEHICLE. IT HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES TODAY. ONCE I GET OUT TO THE VEHICLE TO INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM THE HORN STOPS BLOWING ON ITS OWN. WHEN IT HAPPENS NUMEROUS TIMES OR CONTINUOUSLY IT RUNS THE BATTERY DOWN.

THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 DODGE JOURNEY GT. STATED 500 MILES OUT OF 36,000 MILE WARRANTY THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN CHECKED BY A MECHANIC IT HAD THE FOLLOWING ERROR CODE, B1C29, LEFT SIDE SEAT THORAX SQUIB 1 CIRCUIT OPEN. CHRYSLER IS REFUSING TO REPAIR AS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE LIGHT FIRST APPEARED INTERMITTENTLY UPON IGNITION BUT NOW REMAINS ON WHENEVER THE CAR IS STARTED AND RUNNING. A WIRE UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT HAD BECOME DISCONNECTED *DT*TP

MY SON WAS DRIVING HOME AND THE CAR STARTED JERKING THEN SUDDENLY STOPPED. NO PRIOR INDICATION THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM. HAD CAR TOWED TO MECHANIC & WAS TOLD TRANSMISSION IS HOT. $2100 TO REPAIR.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I LEFT MY HOME AND WAS HEADING TO WORK WHEN SOMEONE RAN A STOP SIGN. I HAD TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES TO AVOID BEING T-BONED. THE BRAKES WORKED AT FIRST, THEN THE PEDDLE PULSED AND WENT TO THE FLOOR BOARD. I PULLED OVER AND LOOKED FOR BRAKE FLUID LEAKING UNDER THE VEHICLE. AFTER NOT SEEING ANY, I TRIED PUMPING THE BRAKES AND THE PEDDLE KIND OF STARTED WORKING AGAIN, BUT IF YOU KEEP PRESSURE ON THE PEDDLE, IT WILL GO TO THE FLOOR BOARD. WHEN YOU DRIVE IT, THE BRAKES BARLEY RESPOND FOR THE FIRST 1.5" TO 2" OF MOVEMENT, THEN MOST OF THE BRAKING IS IN THE NEXT 1" TO 1.5" OF MOVEMENT. AS YOU SIT AT A STOP APPLYING PRESSURE. THE PEDDLE WILL GO THE FLOOR BOARD. YOU CAN PUMP IT UP TO FIRM, WITH THE VEHICLE IN THE OFF POSITION, BUT AFTER YOU START IT, THE PEDDLE BECOMES SOFT AND AS STATED BEFORE, GOES TO THE FLOOR BOARD. 2 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS HAVE SAID THIS IS NORMAL, THE BRAKES DID NOT DO THIS BEFORE HAVING TO SLAM ON THEM. IT DOES NOT FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, IT SEEMS THAT THE 2018 DODGE JOURNEY IS ALREADY BEING RECALLED FOR A SIMILAR PROBLEM. THANK YOU FOR TIME.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON WHILE DRIVING OR ONCE THE CAR IS STARTED. IT WILL STAY ON FOR A FEW DAYS AND THEN GO OFF. WHEN IT COMES ON WHILE THE CAR IS DRIVING IT WILL DING AND STAY ON FOR DAYS. THE AIR CONDITIONER/ HEATER JUMPS ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT WILL BE OFF AND AUTOMATICALLY JUMP ON. I WILL TURN IT OFF AND THEN IT WILL JUMP ON AGAIN. THESE ISSUES WERE "FIXED" BY A DODGE DEALERSHIP IN MAY AND ARE STILL REOCCURRING.

MY 2017 JOURNEY WAS MANUFACTURED IN AUGUST OF 2016 DODGE HAS A RECALL FOR JOURNEYS FOR CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSORS FOR JOURNEYS THAT WERE MADE FROM MAY OF 2016 TO JULY 2016 MY CAR HAS BEEN STALLING OUT SINCE 40,000 MILES AND THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE UPON RESEARCH THIS MAY BE THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE COMPLANTS ONLINE STATING OTHERS CARS HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THIS SENSOR BUT DODGE ONLY DID A LIMITED RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES. MY CAR JERKS 3-4 TIMES WHEN IN REVERSE THEN STALLS OUT OR IT JERKS 3-4 TIMES AND STALLS AT STOP LIGHTS OR SIGNS. OTHER ONLINE COMPLAINTS IVE SEEN STATE THAT PEOPLE HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH IT ALSO STOPPING MID DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS.

THE FRONT WINSHIELD WIPERS ONLY WORK ON HIGH SPEED. WHEN YOU SHUT OFF THE WIPERS THEY STOP WHEREVER THEY WANT TO. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR VISIBILITY PURPOSES. HIGH SPEED WIPERS ARE NOT ALWAYS NEEDED.

MY 2017 DODGE JOURNEY KEEPS GOING THROUGH BATTERIES. 1ST ONE AT APRIL 2018. 2ND ONE JAN 2020. DEALERSHIP JUST KEEPS PUT BATTERIES IN . NOT FIXING PROBLEM. ON DODGE FORUM OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING SAME PROBLEMS.
