2010 DODGE JOURNEY Complaints

I WALKED OUTSIDE TO MY JOURNEY AND THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT HEADREST WAS DEPLOYED WITH NO OCCUPANCY AT THE TIME. THE LITTLE BLACK CLIPS ARE BROKEN AND I CANNOT PULL IT BACK DOWN TO DISENGAGE.

FOR A A FEW YEARS NOW I HAVE DEALING WITH HORN HONKING ON ITS OWN. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, WHILE DRIVING, WHILE PARKED RANDOMLY. I'VE BEEN TRYING TO SOLVE THE ISSUE AND NOTHING WORKS. I READ LOTS OF COMPLAINT WITH THE SAME ISSUE ON DODGEFORUM.COM BUT AGAIN NO SOLUTION. ON 2/17/20 I NEARLY HAD A BAD ACCIDENT BECAUSE I DONT HAVE A HORN, I'VE BEEN TAKING OUT THE FUSE BECAUSE OF THE RANDOM HONKING WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME MORE THAN ONCE ALMOST GETTING INTO ACCIDENTS BECAUSE IF HORN ISSUE. I COMMUTE 2 HOURS A DAY FOR WORK SOMETIMES MORE AND DO NOT FEEL SAFE USING CAR BUT HAVE NO CHOICE. FOR SO MANY YEARS NO SOLUTION TO PROBLEM BY DODGE.

WHEN TURNING ONE DAY MY HORN HONKED BY ITSELF. I THOUGHT MY HAND SLIPPED AND ACCIDENTALLY HONKED THE HORN THEN A FEW DAYS LATER WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT I HEARD IT AGAIN. IT HONKED TWICE BY ITSELF, CAUSING THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES AND ALMOST CAUSED A CRASH. THAT SAME DAY I HEARD IT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS OFF. I WAS I SIDE AND MY HORN HONKED AT LEAST 15 TIMES BY ITSELF. I KNEW IT WASN'T MY KEYS BECAUSE MY KEY FOB HAD BEEN DISCONNECTED FROM MY CAR.

THE HEADREST ON OUR 2010 DODGE JOURNEY POPPED OPEN AS WE WERE DRIVING DOWN I-20. NO ACCIDENT, NO BUMP IN THE ROAD, NO SUDDEN STOP... IT JUST SPRUNG OPEN AND SMACKED MY HUSBAND IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND IT SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE ENGINE AND ELECTRIC SYSTEM SHUT OFF AND SHE COULD NOT USE THE BRAKES. SHE HAD TO COAST TO A PARKING LOT AND THEN IT STARTED UP AGAIN. WE HAVE TAKEN IT INTO A MECHANIC AND THERE IS NO INFORMATION ON THE COMPUTER REGARDING WHAT HAPPENED. HE CANNOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM.

INTERMITTENT STARTING ISSUES FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS. REPLACED THE STARTER TWICE WITHIN THAT TIME FRAME.

I WAS DRIVING AND THE CAR CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. TRIED TO CRANK BUT WOULD NOT FULLY TURN OVER. HAD A MECHANIC PULL UP TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE WAS AND HE SAID IT COULD BE THE CRANKSHAFT. REMOVED IT, NOW I CANNOT FIND THE PART BECAUSE THEY ALL LOOK LIKE THE CAMSHAFT AND MY PART IS STRAIGHT VS THE L SHAPE.

2010 DODGE JOURNEY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE BUY BACK PROGRAM. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE BUYBACK PROGRAM FOR STEERING AND AXLE FAILURES.*JS

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE DRIVER AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, IT WOULD THEN SHUT OFF AND THEN DING AND TURN BACK ON, IT DID THIS FOR SEVERAL MILES BEFORE IT JUST STAYED ON. ANOTHER INCIDENT THAT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IS THAT ALL THE DASH INDICATOR LIGHTS COME ON WHILE I'M DRIVING, IT PUTS MY CAR IN LIMP MODE, I THEN HAVE TO PULL OVER, SHUT THE CAR OFF AND THEN RESTART IT FOR IT TO BE OK AGAIN. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY CONCERN AS WELL, I COULD CRASH AND GET IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND I TYPICALLY HAVE MY YOUNG KIDS WITH ME. I SEARCHED MY VIN TO SEE IF THE RECALLS HAVE BEEN DONE AND FROM WHAT I CAN SEE THEY HAVE, SO I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS A REOCCURRING ELECTRICAL ISSUE OR IF THIS IS SOMETHING NEW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE BRAKES FAILED. WHILE DRIVING AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL THE BRAKES FAILED TO OPERATE SMOOTHLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE PADS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS WERE REPLACED FIVE TIMES IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 25,000.
