2009 DODGE JOURNEY Complaints

THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW BUTTON BROKE OFF. DON'T HAVE A BUTTON NOW TO ROLL UP OR DOWN ALSO THE DRIVERS SEAT WILL NOT GO UP OR DOWN. HAVE TO SIT ON PILLOWS

FOR THE 2ND TIME SINCE I PURCHASED THIS CAR 2 YEARS AGO, I HAVE LOST POWER STEERING AND HAD TO PAY TO REPLACE IT. THIS CAR HAS BEEN A LEMON SINCE I PURCHASED IT. FIRST THE HEAD GASKET BLEW, THEN I HAD TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR, THEN THE IGNITION SWITCH, NOW POWER STEERING TWICE. THIS CAR IS NOTHING BUT A MONEY PIT. I TELL EVERYONE I KNOW TO STAY AWAY FROM DODGE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED LACK OF ACCELERATION AND MODERATE VIBRATION WHILE BEING OPERATED AT 60 MPH. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DICK POE CHRYSLER JEEP (6501 MONTANA AVE, EL PASO, TX) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PCM WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 149,000.

THE REAR DRIVER SIDE CAMBRIDGE CANT BE ADJUSTED AND IT IS WEARING MY TIRES. ALIGNMENT SHOP IS SAYING THAT THEY CANT BE ADJUSTED SO THEY CANT ALIGN MY CAR- IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS? HOW CAN THIS BE FIXED WENT TO TWO PLACES ONE IN DECEMBER 2017 AND ONE THIS MONTH JANUARY 2018

THERE WAS A EXHAUST SMELL IN THE CABIN THAT WAS REPEATEDLY CHECKED BY THE DEALER AND COULDN'T FIND THE SOURCE. THEN ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE TRAVELING OUT OF TOWN, I HEARD A LOUD BANG. PULLED OVER AND THE CAR WOULDN'T START. GOT IT TOWED, AND THE MECHANIC SAID THE TRANSFER CASE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED FOR $3000 WITH ONLY 75,000 MILES ON IT

ISSUES I HAVE HAD SO FAR: 'CAR WAS ON AND RUNNING, IN PARK, COULDN'T MOVE IT FROM PARK TO DRIVE. HAD TO TURN CAR OFF AND BACK ON TO 'RESTART' THE MAIN COMPUTER THAT CONTROLS ALL THAT 'THE HEADLIGHTS, VISOR MIRROR LIGHTS, DASHBOARD MAIN LIGHT FLICKERED WORSE THAN ANY OTHER TIMES (THIS HAPPENS MOST FREQUENTLY) 'THE FOLLOWING DASHBOARD LIGHTS WOULD LIGHT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE: BRAKE, EAP BAS, ABS AND THE ONE THAT SHOWS SLIPPERY CONDITIONS 'ODOMETER WOULD GO FROM 0 TO 100 AND BACK AND FORTH LIKE IT WAS POSSESSED MANY, MANY TIMES 'DINGS AND WHATEVER NOISE IS MADE WHEN ALL THE ABOVE DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLICKERED ON AND OFF 'RANDOM LOCK/UNLOCK OF DOORS 'RADIO WOULD RANDOMLY SHUT OFF AND COME BACK ON * HAD TO BE JUMP STARTED 3 TIMES AS MY 13 MONTH BATTERY WAS DRAINED TO NOTHING TOOK TO LOCAL DODGE DEALER, ALL THEY DID WAS REPLACE MY 13 MON. OLD BATTERY AND IGNITION FUSES AND SENT ME ON MY WAY WITHOUT THE ISSUE BEING FIXED. ALL THE ABOVE HAS HAPPENED IN MOTION OR STATIONARY EXCEPT TRYING TO MOVE FROM PARK TO DRIVE WAS STATIONARY. I POSTED VIDEO OF THIS ON MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL (HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=MKQQ1YM7SHU) I STRONGLY FEEL THIS IS A FAULTY TIPM REFERENCES THAT HAVE SAME ISSUE AS I DO: HTTPS://DODGEFORUM.COM/FORUM/3RD-GEN-DURANGO/379400-TIPM-RECALL-COMING.HTML HTTPS://DODGEFORUM.COM/FORUM/3RD-GEN-DURANGO/379400-TIPM-RECALL-COMING-3.HTML HTTPS://WWW.CHRYSLER.COM/WEBSELFSERVICE/FCANORTH/VININPUTFORM.JSP I ALSO CONTACT AN ONLINE MOPAR REPRESENTATIVE ON THIS ISSUE AND ALL THEY SAID WAS 'SINCE MY VEHICLE IS OVER THE 36,000 FACTORY WARRANTY, IT DOES NOT MATTER WHO OWNS THE VEHICLE. IF THERE IS A COMMON ISSUE DUE TO A DEFECT AND NOT SOME EXTERNAL SOURCES. I WOULD RECOMMEND KEEPING YOUR RECEIPTS IF THIS EVER DOES BECOME THE CASE WE WILL SEND OUT A LETTER AND YOU CAN SUBMIT FOR REIMBURSEMENT.' SO BASICALLY I AM SCREWED!

PROBLEM WITH STEARING SYSTEM AS CAMPAIN FCA S08 ALSO ON THIS MODEL 2.0 TD DPF ALSO HUGE PROBLEM ON AUTOMATIC TRANSMITION GETRAG

UPON START UP IN COLD WEATHER POWER STEERING FLUID SHOOTS OUT FROM UNDER THE CAR. MAKES LOUD NOISE. I SEE OTHER VEHICLES FROM SAME YEAR ARE RECALLED BUT NOT MINE. CAR WAS PARKED.

POWER STEERING GETS LEAK IN HOSE WITH EXTREME COLD WEATHER, CAUSING HARD STEERING AND TURNING, WHEEL WILL NOT TURN. STRAIGHT DRIVING IS OK BUT CAN HARDLY TURN WHEEL IF TURNING CORNER, IF U FILL FLUID LEVEL, FLUID LEAKS OUT AFTER FILLED.

SAFETY RECALL S08/NHTSA 16V-273 POWER STEERING RETURN HOSE AND FLUID COOLER .... THIS RECALL DESCRIBES EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE .... UPON A VERY COLD WEATHER START UP MY POWER STEERING RETURN HOSE RUPTURED AND FAILED. I'M WONDERING WHY MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL ..... I STARTED VEHICLE IN DRIVEWAY AT 7 IN THE MORNING AND THE OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE WAS -18F. AS SOON AS THE VEHICLE STARTED THE RETURN LINE SPLIT SEVERAL INCHES ON THE TOP OF THE HOSE LINE AND LEFT A PUDDLE OF POWER STEERING FLUID IN MY DRIVEWAY
