2018 DODGE JOURNEY Complaints

I HAD PULLED UP TO A STOP LIGHT AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT FULLY COME TO A STOP SO I DEPRESSED THE BREAK HARDER AND AS I RELEASE THE BRAKE THE CAR TOOK OFF AND WAS STEADILY ACCELERATING I TURN THE CAR OFF AND GOT TO A PARKING LOT THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER HAD THE SAME RESULT WHEN HE TRIED TO BACK THE VEHICLE UP TO PLACE IT ON THE TRUCK. *TR

2018 DODGE JOURNEY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DEFECTIVE CRUISE CONTROL FUNCTION. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED UPON RETURNING HOME, THE CRUISE CONTROL FAILED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO CRASH INTO THE GARAGE DOOR AND WALL FRAME. THERE WAS ALSO DAMAGE TO A RIDING LAWN MOWER. *JS

PASSENGER SIDE HEAD REST - HEADREST DEPLOYED WHEN I MOVED THE SEAT FORWARD. VEHICLE WAS RUNNING WHEN SITTING AT A STOP SIGN.

THE BACKUP CAMERA STOPPED WORKING AND THE CABIN LIGHTS WITHIN THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN OFF, NOT EVEN WHILE DRIVING. THE LIGHTS WOULD GET BRIGHTER EVERY TIME I HIT THE BREAK MAKING IT DANGEROUS DRIVING IN THE DARK AND ELIMINATED THE USE OF THE BACKUP CAMERA FOR SAFETY.

AT JUST 13K MILES ALL 4 ROTORS ARE COMPLETELY WARPED AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. NOT COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY DUE TO ROTORS ARE "MAINTENANCE" EVEN THO ROTORS ARE SUPPOSED TO LAST 70,000 MILES! I WAS TOLD TO 'NOT USE" MY BRAKES WHILE DOING 75 AROUND TURNS...THAT IS CHRYSLER'S SOLUTION?CAR SHUDDERS ARE 75 MPH IF YOU TOUCH THE BRAKES. *TR

REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW DOES NOT GO DOWN. ALL OTHER WINDOWS GO DOWN NORMALLY EXCEPT FOR ONE WINDOW.

WHILE DRIVING FROM SAN DIEGO TO DALLAS WITH CRUISE ENGAGED IT SUDDENLY STARTED TO ACCELERATE AND BECAME ERATIC SPEEDING UP AND SLOWING DOWN. ENGINE RPM FLUCTUATED AT SAME TIME. BRAKING DID NOT FULLY DISENGAGE THE SYSTEM. WHEN BRAKED TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT AND HAD TO TURN SYSTEM OFF TO HALT ITS OPERATION. WORKS FINE AT TIMES THEN UNEXPECTEDLY DOES IT AGAIN. MAY BE CONNECTED TO OPERATION IN ELEVATION CHANGES.

SUV WAS MAKING A LOUD WHINING SOUND TOOK IT IN TO BE CHECKED AND WAS TOLD THE ALTERNATOR WAS BAD. HAD IT CHANGED BY DEALERSHIP, I FEEL THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED THIS SOON WHEN THE SUV IS LESS THAN 2 YRS OLD. NOW THE PASSENGERS SIDE STRUT IS GONE BAD.

FROM DAY 1: CAR DOESN'T ACCELERATE PROPERLY; DOESN'T GO AS IT SHOULD WHEN ONE PULLS INTO TRAFFIC. VERY SCARY! THE 'EXTRA GEARS' ONLY MAKE THE MOTOR SOUND LIKE IT'S GOING TO EXPLODE, & DOESN'T MAKE CAR MOVE ANY FASTER/EASIER. I AM AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER WITH A PERFECT DRIVING RECORD; IT'S NOT THE DRIVER! SECOND ISSUE: THE HOOD KEEPS POPPING UP, AND I FEAR IT WILL EVENTUALLY FLY ALL THE WAY UP. THESE ISSUES ARE LIFE THREATENING. 3RD ISSUE: IT CERTAINLY DOESN'T GET THE GAS MILEAGE THAT IT SHOULD, GETTING 16-18. PLEASE HELP! AS A CANCER PATIENT, I DEPEND ON THIS CAR TO GET TO MANY DR VISITS. THANK YOU.
