2015 DODGE JOURNEY Complaints

WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESS WAY I CHANGED LANES AND SUDDENLY THE CAR JERKED AND STARTED GOING FASTER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED BEEPING , I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE BUT THE CAR DID'NT SLOW DOWN FAST ENOUGH, SOON AS I LOOKED UP I CRASHED ON MY DRIVER SIDE, NO AIR BAGS CAME OUT...I DROVE THE CAR HM, THE SENSOR STARTED BEEPING LOW KEY BATTERY..I CHANGED OUT THE KEY BATTERY AND TWO DAYS LATER THE CAR START SAYING NO KEY DETECTED, I THEN CALLED A LOCKSMITH, THEY HAD ME BUY A NEW KEY FOB TO REPROGRAM..IT DIDN'T WORK, THERE IS SOMETHING VERY MUCH ELECTRICAL GOING ON WITH THIS VEHICLE.

CAR WILL STALL ANYWHERE AND ANYTIME AND DOESN'T GIVE YOU ENOUGH TIME TO PULL OVER. LOSE ALL POWER TO ACCELERATOR AND STEERING WHEEL. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON CAR WILL NOT SHUT OFF AND WILL NOT MOVE. IF CAR IS OFF IT WON'T START OFTEN BEING TOWED. CAMSHAFT SENSOR AND CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR HAVE BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES WITHIN A YEAR. TRULY A SAFETY HAZARD ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE RADIO AND AIR CONTROLS HAVE A MIND OF THEIR OWN AFTER YOU MANUALLY SHUT THEM OFF THEY COME BACK ON OR START BLOWING OUT HOT AIR ON LEGS.

CAR WAS IN PARK AS IT WAS BEING CLEANED, WE MOVED THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND THE HEADREST DEPLOYED. UNABLE TO PUT IT BACK IN PLACE THE BECAUSE PLASTIC BRACKETS THAT HOLD THE METAL PIN ARE BROKEN.

FRONT PASSENGER SIDE HEADREST SPONTANEOUSLY POPPED OPEN WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. NO ONE WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, NOTHING HIT THE SEAT OR HEADREST, NO SUDDEN HARD BREAKING OCCURRED AND NOTHING HIT THE CAR. NOR WAS THERE ANY FORM OF ACCIDENT BEFORE OR DURING THIS INCIDENT. ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER, THE DRIVER'S SEAT HEADREST SPONTANEOUSLY POPPED OPEN WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS SITTING IN THE SEAT. THE CAR WAS IN PARK AND WAS NOT RUNNING. SAME AS WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE, NOTHING HIT IT, THE SEAT OR CAR. NOR HAD THERE BEEN AN ACCIDENT AT ANY POINT.

CAME OUT TO MY CAR THIS MORNING, 09/06/2020, TO FIND THE HEADREST HAD DEPLOYED. THE CAR WAS PARKED IN OUR DRIVEWAY OVER NIGHT. I HAD DRIVEN THE CAR THE DAY BEFORE AND THE HEADREST HAD NOT DEPLOYED. THERE WERE NO ACCIDENTS TO CAUSE THIS.

I OWN A 2015 DODGE JOURNEY 63000 MILES. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A MAJOR STREET TRAVELING 49MPH THE CAR JERKED, DEACCELERATED ABRUPTLY AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME TIGHT. IT DID NOT SLOW DOWN IT DEACCELERATED. THERE WAS NO WARNING OR CODE ON PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING. I WAS LUCKY THERE WAS NOT ANYONE BEHIND ME NOR ON A HIGHWAY. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS "FAILED CRANK POSITION SENSOR." IT HAD A CODE OF P0339. WE PAID DEALER TO FIX IT - OBVIOUSLY. I NOTICED THERE IS A RECALL FOR CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR ON 2016 DODGE JOURNEY - I BEG THAT YOU RECALL CANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR FOR DODGE JOURNEY 2015.

I WAS DRIVING ADOWN A CITY STREET AND THE PASSENGER SEAT HEADREST DEPLOYED WITHOUT ANY CAUSE.

OUR CAR HAS A LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST THAT REQUIRES EXTRA STEERING EFFORT, ESPECIALLY AT LOWER SPEEDS AND WHEN TURNING OR PARKING. THE STEERING WHEEL IS ALMOST COMPLETELY STIFF AND CANNOT BE TURNED WITHOUT USING EXCESSIVE FORCE TO TURN THE WHEEL. POWER STEERING WORK FAIRLY WELL ON FREEWAYS (PROBABLY DUE TO HIGHER SPEED). I CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE THE RISK OF CRASHING SEEMS PRETTY HIGH DUE TO THE INABILITY TO STEER.

THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT HEADREST AIRBAG DEPLOYED WITHOUT ANY MOVEMENT, ACCIDENTS OR FORCE.

ON THE PASSENGER SEAT THE HEAD REST JUST POPPED OPENED FOR NO REASON. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT MY HOUSE MY HOUSE WHICH IS ON E WARREN ST WITHIN 1 DAY OF THE HEAD REST POPPING OPEN. THIS NEED TO BE PLACED AS A RECALL. THE REPAIR COST IS TO EXPENSIVE.
