2018 DODGE JOURNEY Complaints

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND NOTICED THAT IT WAS STRUGGLING FOR POWER. I EXITED. AT THE STOPLIGHT MY CAR STARTED SHAKING AND PUTTERING. `WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS TO GO THE CAR PUTTERED LIKE IT DIDN'T WANT TO GO, BUT THEN DID. SO I DROVE TO THE CAR DEALERSHIP ON THE NEXT EXIT. MY CAR SHUT ITSELF OFF IN THE ENTRANCE TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE MECHANIC REPORTED THAT A FUEL INJECTOR HAD EXPLODED AND WAS SPEWING RAW GAS. MY CAR IS NOW IN THE SHOP AWAITING PARTS. ANOTHER ISSUE IS THAT IT EASILY SLIPS INT REVERSE WHILE DRIVING. SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS!

WHEN TO USE SECOND ROW CENTER SEATBELT FOR CHILD RESTRAINT ON CAR SEAT. NOTICED THE MECHANICAL LOCK FROM EXTENSION OF THE BELT DID NOT LOCK AND IF WERE TO GET IN WRECK WOULD NOT FUNCTION AS THE SAFETY DEVICE SHOULD. DID A QUESTIONING OF OTHER SIMILAR VEHICLE OWNERS AND ALL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE.THIS IS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SITTING STILL. SECOND PROBLEM IS MOTOR MOUNTS WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED ON ANY INCLINE SURFACE EVEN SLIGHT INCLINE OF JERKING VIOLENTLY FROM PARK TO ANY GEAR AND BACK TO PARK. MANY OTHER INDIVIDUALS ALSO QUESTIONED HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES AND NEGATIVE FIXES OR RESOLUTIONS FROM DEALERSHIPS REPAIR PERSONNEL. THIS IS FROM PARK TO MOTION AND VICE VERSA.

THE STICK SHIFT THAT CONTROLS THE VEHICLE FOR PARK, DRIVE, NEUTRAL, REVERSE AND MANUAL MODES IS IN THE CENTER OF THE VEHICLE, VERY MUCH IN THE WAY OF NORMAL DRIVING ROUTINES. 3 TIMES NOW, SINCE APRIL, THE SHIFTER HAS ACCIDENTALLY BEEN TOUCHED OR BUMPED BY THE DRIVER. TWICE THIS HAPPENED AND MY CAR WAS PLACED INTO NEUTRAL IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. ONCE MY CAR WAS PLACED INTO REVERSE WHILE DRIVING! THE PLACEMENT OF THE SHIFTER AND THE EASE AT WHICH IT SHIFTS IS POTENTIALLY A FATAL HAZARD.

WHEN CRUISING DOWN THE ROAD IT FEELS AS IF THE CAR DROPS OUT OF GEAR MOMENTARILY THEN SLAMS BACK INTO GEAR. THIS IS A SPECIFIC PROBLEM BUT IT COULD BE DEADLY.
