I STARTED MY 2010 DODGE JOURNEY AND WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. I BEGAN TO GO AROUND A SHARP CURVE AND REALIZED I HAD LOST ALL POWER STEERING. THIS ALMOST RESULTED IN A CRASH INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE AND THEN ALMOST A BARRICADE. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO SOMEWHAT GAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. MY WIFE AND 10 MONTH OLD BABY WERE ALSO IN THE VEHICLE. I LATER LEARNED THAT THE POWER STEERING RETURN LINE HAD RUPTURED. I WOULD CONSIDER THIS A ISOLATED INCIDENT AND NOT A VEHICLE PROBLEM IF THERE WASN'T ALREADY A RECALL FOR OTHER DODGE JOURNEYS WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM.

2010 DODGE JOURNEY WITH 20K MILES, HORN GOES OFF RANDOMLY, SITTING IN GARAGE OR DRIVEWAY, IDLE, NOT RUNNING. KEY FOBS ARE ON THE KITCHEN COUNTER. HORN BEEPS 1 - 3 TIMES, NOT STEADY OR UNIFORM. I'VE HAD IT AT THE DEALERSHIP 5X, THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND OF COURSE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN THERE. THEY'VE REPLACED THE WIRING HARNESS FROM DOOR TO DASH ON DRIVERS SIDE AND PUT A HEAT SHRINK TUBE ON A WIRE + DIAGNOSTICS FOR $1,000. I FIND SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB BUT NO RESOLUTIONS. THE DODGE "STAR" TEAM AND THEIR CUSTOMER CARE LINE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO HELP AT ALL. (ZEIGLER DODGE IN DOWNERS GROVE, IL.)

MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED OUTSIDE MY HOME AND THE HORN STARTED BLOWING ALL BY ITSELF. THIS CONTINUED NO MATTER WHAT I TRIED (PRESSING THE KEY FOB BUTTONS, PRESSING THE HORN MANUALLY, AND STARTING THE VEHICLE). WE FINALLY HAD TO TAKE THE FUSE OUT TO GET IT TO STOP. THE HORN BLEW SO MUCH THE NEIGHBORS CALLED THE POLICE THINKING THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG.
