2014 DODGE JOURNEY Complaints

THE VEHICLE WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT. MY DAUGHTER WAS SITTING BEHIND ME. WHICH I WAS THE DRIVER AND SHE WAS BEHIND ME ON THE LEFT REAR. MY DAUGHTER HAD THE SEAT BELT ON AND SO DID I. MY CONCERN IS WHY DID MY DAUGHTER ENDED UP GOING ALL THE WAY FORWARD HITTING ME FROM BEHIND WITH HER KNEES THAT THE NEXT DAY MY BEHIND WAS HURTING G. WILL MY DAUGHTER ON THE MEAN TIME DURING THE ACCIDENT HER HEAD HURTLED, NOSE, AND UPPER AND LOWER BACK. IT SEEMS THE SEAT BELT DID NOT LOCK AS SOON AS THE IMPACT BECAUSE IF IT HAD. MY DAUGHTER WOULD NOT HAD GOTTEN A BUMP ON HER NOSE THAT HURTLED WHICH IT MEANS SHE ENDED HITTING MY SEAT WHERE YOU REST YOUR HEAD. TWO HER KNEES HURTED WHEN SHE WENT FORWARD TO MY SEAT AND HIT ME. THREE, IT MADE HER HEAD TOO MUCH FORWARD AND BACKWARD THAT SHE GOT A HUGE BUMP ON THE HEAD AND THE ENTIRE BACK HURTED. FOR ME MY HEAD HURTED, SHOULDERS AND BUT. BUT FOR ME THE SEAT BELT I FELT IT LOCK INSTANTLY. THIS IMPACT WAS FROM BEHIND WHILE I WAS WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO TURN GREEN. THE ACCIDENT WAS HURTFUL BUT NOT TO SERVER OF A TOTAL LOST ON MY END. MY DAUGHTER DID GO TO THE HOSPITAL. THIS IS WHY IT CONCERNS ME.

APPEARS THAT THE GASKET BETWEEN THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION IS LEAKING OIL. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD. I STILL OWE ALOT OF MONEY ON THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE CHANGED THE OIL ON A REGULAR BASIS. NOW THIS !!!! NOT RIGHT !!!!

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY I'VE NOTICE WHIT SMOKE COMING OUT OF MY ENGINE. I PULLED OVER AND FOUND THAT THE HEATER HOSE FITTING BROKE OFF CAUSING COOLANT TO LEAK.

THERE'S A FEW RECALLS ON MY 2014 DODGE JOURNEY AWD SXT THAT I'VE CALLED AND THEY SAID THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS AND TO CALL BACK IN A FEW MONTHS. I JUST CALLED NOW AND THEY GAVE ME THE LOOP AROUND TRANSFERRING ME TO THE FRONT THEN BACK TO SERVICE WHERE I WAS PLACED ON HOLD AND THEN IT RANG TO THE FRONT DESKS NUMBER AND I HAD TO LEAVE A VOICEMAIL. TOTALLY INCOMPETENT. THIS IS AT THE DODGE DEALERSHIP IN COLORADO SPRINGS. *TR

THE REAR WINDOW DEFROST DASH CONTROL KEEPS BLINKING AND WITH THAT I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE HVAC SYSTEM. IT IS CONSTANTLY ON LOW '1' BLOW POWER AND IT ISN'T ONLY BLOWING COLD. IN THE NORTH EAST IN WINTER (TODAY WAS 6 DEGREES AND THA KSFIVING DAY WHERE ALL AUTO SHOPS ARE CLOSED) IT IS NOT SAFE. THERE IS A CRUNCHING SOUND IN THE DASH, AS THOUGH SOMETHING IS TRYING TO TURN. ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS ISSUE?

AT FIRST, WHEN I STARTED THE CAR, IT HAD TROUBLE TURNING ON, SO I WAITED A WHILE TO TRY AGAIN AND IT DID. WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT SMELLED LIKE SOMETHING WAS BURNING AND I NOTICED THAT BOTH THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT WHEN OFF. I PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. I GO TO TURN IT ON AGAIN AND IT JUST DIDN'T AFTER THAT.

THERE ARE MORE PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. THERE HAVE BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR SINCE I BOUGHT IT WHEN IT WAS BRAND NEW. IT'S ONLY 4 YEARS OLD. IT LEAKS OIL NOW TOO! I FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING THIS CAR WITH MY CHILDREN IN IT. THERE HAVE BEEN 9 RECALLS AND NOW I SEE THERE ARE 2 THAT I HAVEN'T HAD DONE. THIS SHOULD BE A LEMON. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE AND I AM STILL PAYING ON THIS CAR. A CAR THAT HAS NOTHING BUT STEERING, ELECTRICAL, AIR BAG, ENGINE AND OTHER NUMEROUS PROBLEMS. I SHOULD BE ABLE TO GIVE THIS CAR BACK AND WALK AWAY FROM IT. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE! NO ONE SHOULD BE DRIVING IT! I HAD MY OIL CHANGED AND THE NEXT DAY IT SAID I NEEDED MY OIL CHANGED. THE DRIVER WINDOW SCREECHES, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP, THE CAR LAGS WHEN I GO TO BREAK. WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE THE CAR STALLS AND REVS SUPER HIGH. THE ENGINE SMELLS AS IF IT WERE ON FIRE. IT'S NOT SAFE. I'M VERY UPSET. I HAVE 3 LITTLE CHILDREN. I NEED MY CAR TO BE SAFE AND RELIABLE. THIS CAR IS NEITHER. THERE HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE I GOT THIS CAR. BUT I'D HAVE IT FIXED AND THEN SOMETHING ELSE WOULD HAPPEN. NOW MORE IS HAPPENING. THINGS I THOUGHT HAD BEEN FIXED EVEN! PLEASE THIS CAR IS A LEMON. IT NEEDS TO BE DESTROYED SO NO ONE IS ABLE TO DRIVE IT AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, WHICH WAS A SAFETY CONCERN. THE DEALER (LARRY H. MILLER DODGE RAM, 10101 PAPAGO FWY, AVONDALE, AZ 85323, 480-865-3985) WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NEED TO BE DIAGNOSED TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V432000 (AIR BAGS). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

PASSENGER HEADREST DEPLOYED. THE VEHICLE WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY AND MY TODDLER WAS GETTING INTO HIS SIT WHEN IT JUST POPPED OUT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR RECALLS AND ASKED ABOUT IT BUT THE VEHICLE WAS PAST IT'S WARRANTY AND SINCE IT IS NOT A RECALL THEY WANTED $600 PLUS TO REPLACE IT. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, IT WAS A PLASTIC PIECE THAT JUST BROKE OVERTIME. APROX MILEAGE AT THE TIME WAS AROUND 32,000.

MY DAUGHTER AND I WERE DRIVING ON A SMOOTH STREET, WHEN SUDDENLY THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADREST POPPED FORWARD. IT STRUCK MY DAUGHTER IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD QUITE HARD CAUSING HER TO HAVE A SORE NECK, AND POSSIBLY NEED MEDICAL ATTENTION IF IT IS NOT BETTER IN A DAY OR SO. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. IN THE LONG LINE OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE AND NUMEROUS RECALLS, THERE IS NOW AN INJURY. I FEEL LIKE I HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT MY DRIVER SIDE HEADREST DOING THE SAME WHILE I AM DRIVING. THIS CAR IS LITERALLY FALLING APART. AS A LIFE LONG DODGE OWNER, I DON'T THINK I COULD EVER BUY ANOTHER.
