THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED, THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED AND THE CONTACT LOSS CONTROL MOMENTARILY OF THE VEHICLE FOR A SHORT TIME. THE CONTACT REGAINED CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUED DRIVING TO HER DESTINATION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V432000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE.

MY VEHICLE BEGAN HAVING ISSUES SHIFTING GEARS AT 103,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE WOULD JOLT EACH TIME A SHIFT OCCURRED. IT SPECIFICALLY HAD ISSUES SHIFTING OUT OF REVERSE INTO DRIVE. THIS OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY FOR A COUPLE DAYS. THEN IT BEGAN HAVING ISSUES SHIFTING WHILE ACCELERATING. I MAINLY DRIVE ON THE INTERSTATE TO AND FROM WORK, AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO OVER 45 MILES PER HOUR. WE IMMEDIATELY PARKED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKING UNDERNEATH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP WHO TOLD US THE TRANSMISSION PUMP HAD GONE OUT AND WE NEEDED TO REBUILD OR REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION.

STARTED VEHICLE AS NORMAL. PULLED OUT OF DRIVEWAY ON TO RESIDENTIAL STREET AND HEAD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING HARD HITTING THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN I HAD THE CHANCE TO STOP AND INVESTIGATE IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE HEADREST HAD DEPLOYED

VEHICLE KEEPS STALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING IN MOTION...LIGHTS THAT HAVE BEEN ON SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM AUTO LIQUIDATORS ABS LIGHT, ENGINE LIGHT AND ANOTHER LIGHT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN. SOMETIMES IT RESTARTS SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T.

THERE IS A RECALL ON 2015 DODGE JOURNEYS FOR THE WIRING ON THE ABS SYSTEM THAT CAUSES THE WIRES TO GET CORRODED AND THE ABS NOT WORKING. I HAVE RECENTLY HAD THE ISSUE DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL YET MY VEHICLE DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL AND MY LOCAL DODGE REPAIR CENTER WANT ME TO PAY 1800.00 TO REPAIR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE FIXED UNDER THE RECALL AND NOW I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT I CAN NOT DRIVE OR I RISK HAVING AN ACCIDENT

TL* THE CONTACT'S WIFE OWNS A 2015 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A DEFECTIVE INTERNAL PUMP WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT UNDER RECALL.

MY 2015 DODGE JOURNEY HAS A TICKING NOISE WHEN I START MY VEHICLE. AND NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. WHEN THE TRUCK IS IN PARK OR STOPPED IT FEELS LIKE IT IS FLUTTERING OR PUTTING ALONG . THE TICKING NOISE YOU HEAR ONCE THE VEHICLE IS STARTED AND IT CONTINUES THE ENTIRE TIME WHILE DRIVING .

WHILE DRIVING MY ABS/AWD LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON. I CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE ABS AND IT SHOWS BUT DOES NOT COME UP WITH MY VIN. THE LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN THERE IS A KICK AND DRAGGING SOUND COMING FROM THE VEHICLE SO I STOP, PUT IT IN PARK AND TRY TO PROCEED AGAIN. I DON'T FEEL SAFE. I RECENTLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND NOTHING WAS MENTIONED ABOUT THE ABS. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER I AM IN MY DRIVEWAY OR IN THE PARKING LOT A WORK.

THE DRIVERS SEATBELT DOES NOT LATCH PROPERLY AND WILL COME UNDONE WHILE DRIVING. SINCE NOTICING THE ISSUE I WILL TEST THE LATCH EACH TIME I PUT ON THE SEATBELT AND I HAVE TO RE-BUCKLE THE LATCH 3-5 TIMES SOMETIMES TO GET IT TO LATCH PROPERLY.

HAD NOT STARTED THE VEHICLE FOR 1 WEEK. WITH FOB IN HAND I OPENED THE DOOR. WITH DOOR OPEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE (IT DID NOT COMPRESS), THEN PUSHED THE START BUTTON. THE DASH FLASHED ON AND OFF SAYING FOB NOT DETECTED. TRIED PUSHING FOB, TRIED STARTING CAR AGAIN. THEN A LOUD CLICKING BEGAN AT THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE IN THE MOTOR AREA. THE DASH FLASHING STOPPED AND ALL SCREENS WERE BLACK. NO POWER TO VEHICLE AT ALL, DOOR LOCKS DID NOT WORK. OPENED HOOD TO SEE WHERE CLICKING WAS COMING FROM, BUT COULD NOT DETECT. TRIED REMOTE START AND TRADITIONAL START AS WELL. NOTHING WORKS. ENGINE CLICKING FINALLY STOPPED AFTER ABOUT 10-15 MINUTES. CAR HAS TO BE OPENED WITH THE KEY AND WILL STILL NOT START.
