THE #6 SPARK PLUG HAS A PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD IT REPLACED TWICE. THE ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF WHEN THE CAR RUNS A LITTLE HARD. THEN WILL TURN OFF WHEN IT RUNS SMOOTH. WHEN I HAD THE OIL CHANGED THEY SAID THEY HAVE SEEN OTHER DODGE JOURNEYS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE IS JUST BEING DRIVEN IN ON THE CITY STREETS. IT HAPPENS WHEN I AM SITTING AT A LIGHT AND THE CAR IS IDLING.

NO POWER STEERING IN THE MORNING. TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE POWER STEERING HOSE RUPTURED. WE HAD SUB-BELOW TEMPERATURES IN NORTHWESTERN MINNESOTA LAST WEEK. IT IS THE SAME AS RECALL #16V-273, BUT I DO NOT HAVE AN OPTIONAL BLOCK HEATER, SO IT IS NOT COVERED. WHICH REALLY DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE AT ALL.

MY WIFE WAS T-BONED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, BY A VEHICLE SUPPOSEDLY TRAVELING 25 MPH, WITH MY SON IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND THE SIDE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. SHE WAS CROSSING AN INTERSECTION WHEN THE COLLISION HAPPENED.

DODGE JOURNEY BURST INTO FLAMES AFTER BEING REPAIRED AFTER A FACTORY RECALL, DRIVER HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY STOP AND EXIT THE VEHICLE UNTIL SMOKE SUBSIDED AND FIRE WAS EXTINGUISHED.

I HAVE A 5YR. 100,00 ML WARRANTY ON THIS CAR BUMBER TO BUMBER . MONTHS OF PROBLEMS TO FIND OUT IT HAS INTERNAL FAILURE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE.. MONTHS OF CAR JUMPING, TOWING, DOORS LOCKING CANT GET OUT, LIGHTS FLASHING,2 RECALLS, BROUGHT A CAR BATTERY NOW ITS SITTING ON DODGE LOT SINCE 10/17/17.AN WILL NOT RUN. AS A CONSUMER WHO BROUGHT THIS VEHICLE BELIEVING DODGE WOULD HOLD TO THIS ACCOUNTABILITY TOTAL FAILURE AND WANTS ME TO PAY FOR IT THIS SHOULD NOT BE ACCEPTED. MY EXPERIENCE WITH THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY.

TAKATA RECALL. BRAKES LOCKED UP TRYING TO AVOID A CAR COMING TOWARDS ME, LOST CONTROL AND AIRBAGS DEPLOYED IN AN ACCIDENT AND SMOKED AND BURNT MY ARM AND LEG

WHILE DRIVING ON U.S. 84 HIGHWAY IN ALABAMA I NOTICED THE ENGINE MAKING A STRANGE NOISE AND PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I COULD THEN SEE SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD, WHEN I OPENED THE HOOD I COULD SEE AT THE BASE OF THE ENGINE ORANGE FLAMES. USED WATER BOTTLES ON HAND TO PUT OUT THE FIRE. AFTER MY INSURANCE COMPANY SENT OUT INSPECTORS IT WAS FOUND THAT WIRING TO THE OXYGEN SENSOR HAD SHORTED OUT CAUSING THE FIRE. INSPECTORS BELIEVE IT WAS FAULTY WIRING THAT CAUSED THE FIRE. CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY DENIED ANY RESPONSIBILITY.

IT WILL STALL WHEN IDLING. TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. WHEN TURNING LEFT INTO AN INTERSECTION IT WOULD NOT GIVE ANY GAS AND THE PERSON COMING THRU THE LIGHT HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES TO KEEP FROM BROADSIDING MY VEHICLE. SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING, I HAD PULLED OUT OF A DRIVEWAY AND IT WOULD NOT GIVE ME ANY GAS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A FEW DEALERS AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS. I FINALLY TOOK IT BACK TO THE PLACE WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND THEY CHANGED THE FUEL THROTTLE BODY. THAT WAS 8/21/2017. AS OF 9/21/17 IT STALLED ON ME AGAIN WHILE IN IDLE. I AM SO IRRITATED WITH THIS AND FEEL STUCK. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON A MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT IT AND WAS TOLD TO TRY DIFFERENT THINGS AND IT ONLY KEPT GETTING WORSE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD UNLESS THE LIGHT COMES ON, THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO.....
