2016 DODGE JOURNEY Complaints

FOR NO REASON WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE DRIVER SIDE HEADREST POPPED OUT AND NOW THE AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHT IS ON.

PASSENGER SEAT HEAD RESTRAINT POPPED OPEN JUST SITTING IN MY GARAGE PROMPTING AIRBAG LIGHT.

OUT OF FUEL VEHICLE ENDED UP IN TRAFFIC WITH CARS ZIPPING BY. POLICE WERE CALLED BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION COULD NOT BE PLACED IN NEUTRAL TO PUSH VEHICLE OUT OF TRAFFIC. HAD POLICE NOT ASSISTED IT WOULD RESULT IN BEING REAR ENDED WITH CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. THE POLICE NOR THE TOW TRUCK KNEW HOW TO PLACE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL. 3 MONTHS LATER THE BATTERY DIED AND VEHICLE COULD NOT BE PLACED IN NEUTRAL TO ALLOW JUMP START. LUCKY THIS DID NOT HAPPEN IN TRAFFIC OR CHILDREN WOULD BE AT RISK AGAIN . THIS COULD ALSO HAVE BEEN AVOIDED EXCEPT THAT THERE IS NO IDIOT LIGHT ON DASH TO WARN OF BATTERY CONDITION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING WITH THE HEADLIGHTS ACTIVATED, THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SIDE HEAD LIGHTS WOULD INTERMITTENTLY FLICKER AND TURN OFF AND ON. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE BULBS SEVERAL TIMES HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER RYAN MOTORS DODGE CHRYSLER LOCATED AT 1212 2ND ST W, WILLISTON, ND 58801 AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE HOWEVER, NO ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000.

DRIVING THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY, IT STARTED TO SLOW DOWN; THE VEHICLE STOPPED AND DID NOT MOVE. MY CHILDREN AND I SCARED BUT THANK GOD HELP CAME. THE LIGHTS ON THE CAR TURNED ON, INDICATING SOMETHING WAS WRONG.I COULDN'T READ THE SIGN OR UNDERSTAND WHAT WENT WRONG. THE CAR WILL NOT STAY ON. IT SHUT OFF, AND THE CODE INDICATED THE CYLINDER IS NOT WORKING. I REPORTED IT AND TOWED THE DODGE DEALERSHIP VEHICLE BECAUSE THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID IT WOULD BE COVERED BECAUSE IT'S A RECALL. MY CAR IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP. MORE THAN TWO MONTHS AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHY THE CAR WON'T WORK.

MY CAR HAS BEEN MAKING A WEIRD NOISE AND THEY ALWAYS SAY THEY DOT HEAR IT. THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS GO ON AND OFF, LIGHTS , AIR CONDITIONER, FAN, ,VENT, RADIO ETC. I AM NERVOUS ABOUT DRIVING.

ENGINE WON'T TURN OVER AFTER ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS DRAIN OVERNIGHT PARKED ONE DAY. RADIO STATION TURNS CHANNELS BY ITSELF WITHOUT TOUCHING ANYTHING. DRIVING.

EITHER SITTING OR DRIVING, THE CARS LIGHTS COME ON AND IT LOSES POWER AND STOPS. SOMETIMES WHEN I TRY TO START IT, IT WON'T START AND I JUST GOT A NEW BATTERY! THERE ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I JUST GOT MY JOURNEY 2 MONTHS AGO, IT WAS USED, AND I NEVER COULD HAVE IMAGINED THE PROBLEM I HAVING WITH IT! THIS IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION, AND I NEED IT FOR WORK! SOMEONE SAID IT IS THE TIPM, OTHERS HAVE SAID IT'S THE BATTERY, ETC... THIS HAPPENS EITHER WHILE I'M DRIVING OR SITTING IDLE!

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND LOSS ALL POWER AND BRAKE CONTROL. NO WARNING LIGHTS AND NO NOTICE JUST SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, RADIO AND LIGHTS EVERYTHING CUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING.

I I SAT DOWN IN THE PASSENGERS SEAT AND ADJUSTED THE SEAT BACK. WHEN I LEANED BACK THE HEAD SNAPPED OUT WITH A DEGREE OF FORCE AND HIT ME IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD. IT APPEARS TO BE BROKEN AS IT WILL NOT GO BACK IN TO PLACE AND REMAIN THERE. THE CAR WAS IN PARK AT THE TIME AND WAS NOT HIT OR BUMPED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE.
