2015 DODGE JOURNEY Complaints

WHILE DRIVING I HEARD A STRANGE ENGINE NOISE WHILE ACCELERATING ,THEN THE CRANKSHAFT,THE SERPENTINE BELT CAME OFF,THE STEERING WHEEL CAME RIGID OR STIFF BEFORE THE BATTERY WARNING SIGN GOES ON WITH A BIG OIL LEAK,THE CAR THEN STOPPED.

MY CHILDREN AND I WERE STOPPED STUCK IN TRAFFIC ON I-75 N IN ATLANTA, GA HEADED TO THE NORTH GEORGIA PREMIUM OUTLETS WHEN MY DAUGHTER'S HEADREST DEPLOYED WHILE SHE WAS SLEEPING. THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE HEADREST WAS SUDDEN AND CAUSED HER TO WAKE UP FROM HER SLEEP. SHE STATED THAT IT WAS VERY PAINFUL AND CAUSED HER NECK AND HEAD TO HURT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE HAD TAKEN HER VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALER HAWK CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (7911 ROOSEVELT RD, FOREST PARK, IL 60130, (708) 405-9044) FOR AN UNKNOWN RECALL REPAIR REGARDING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THE RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED HOWEVER, CAUSED A FAILURE OF ONE OF THE PISTONS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PISTON ROD PUNCTURED THE CYLINDER WALL CAUSING AN ENGINE OIL LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS QUOTED A REPAIR COST OF $8,000. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 114,000.

BOTH OF THE HEAD RESTS IN THE FRONT HAVE DEPLOYED AND THE PLASTIC PIECE THAT HOLDS IT IN PLACE HAS BROKEN INTO PIECES. BOTH HAPPENED WHILE CAR WAS STATIONARY.

THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE HEADREST DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON. VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY. THE SMALL PLASTIC PIECE IS BROKEN WONT GO BACK IN.

TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING HAD IT LOOKED AT SEVERAL TIME AND CANT FIND ANYTHING HAD THE OIL CHECKED AND ITS STILL GOOD

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN A WET PARKING LOT THE ABS LIGHT AND STABILITY LIGHT CAME ON AND REMAINED ON. THIS HAS ALSO AFFECTED THE CRUISE CONTROL AS WELL. THERE WAS A RECALL ON DODGE JOURNEYS FROM 2012-2015 FOR THE SAME ISSUE VIN MAY NEED INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

HEADREST ON PASSENGER SIDE DEPLOYED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN THE DRIVEWAY NOBODY IN IT.

THE HEAD REST ON MY PASSENGER SIDE JUST POPPED OFF AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT SEEMS THAT THE PLASTIC BREAKS SO EASILY. ALSO THE PLASTIC PARTS ON THE SIDE OF THE TWO FRONT SEATS BREAK AND CRACK SO EASY. ON MY CAR IT'S HANGING IN BY A SINGLE PIECE.

AFTER BEING HIT DEAD ON TO THE BACK DRIVER SIDE TIRE MY VEHICLE SWUNG AROUND AND HIT A POLE ON THE BACK PASSENGER SIDE DOOR THEN BOUNCED BACK BEFORE COMING TO A REST. THE AIRBAGS IN THE FRONT AND BACK DID NOT DEPLOY DESPITE HEAVY IMPACT ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE. ENOUGH TO TOTAL THE VEHICLE AND CAUSE THE WHEEL AREA TO COLLAPSE. I CAN PROVIDE ADDITIONAL DETAILED PHOTOS OF BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE IF NEEDED. THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS GOING FAST BUT I'M UNSURE OF THEIR SPEED AS I WAS CROSSING THE ROAD.*DT*JB
