2015 DODGE JOURNEY Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT UPON ENTERING HIS VEHICLE, THE PASSENGER'S SIDE HEAD REST DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD YET TO BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

WENT TO GET INTO MY JOURNEY AND NOTICED THE PASSENGER HEADREST HAD BEEN DEPLOYED. THE VEHICLE WAS UNOCCUPIED AND SITTING IN MY GARAGE. THE VEHICLE HAD NO REASON FOR IT TO DEPLOY.

THE CAR SHUT OFF ANYWHERE AND ALL THE TIME HAS ALMOST BEEN KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE

TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT, ABS WARNING LIGHT, SERVICE AWD MESSAGE CAME ON WHILE DRIVING 45MPH. A GRINDING/GROWLING NOISE WAS PRESENT WHEN SLOWING AND COMING TO A STOP FOR A SIGNAL LIGHT. ALL THREE WARNING LIGHTS REMAINDER ON WHILE DRIVING, WITH GRINDING/GROWLING NOISE CONTINUED UPON BREAKING TILL I REACHED MY DESTINATION. I DROVE 32 MILES FROM HOME TO WORK. I WAS DRIVING ON COUNTRY AND CITY STREETS, A CLEAR DAY WITH DRY STREETS.06 AUG 2020 THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN TAKE TO A LICENSED DODGE DEARLERSHIP ~ CARLIN DODGE, COLORADO SPRINGS CO IN JULY 2020 FOR THE SAME ISSUES. THE WIRING SLEVES WERE REPLACED AND TWO RECALL ISSUES TAKEN CARE OF, THEY STATED THERE WERE NO OTHER ISSUES FOUND ON THE VEHICLE. IN DOING RESEARCH THERE WAS A RECALL R62 DTC C2200-48 CONCERNING THE TRACTION CONTROL/ ABS WARNING LIGHTS IS THE ISSUE WE ARE HAVING WITH THE VEHICLE RELATED TO THIS RECALL ISSUE???

I WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY WITH THE CAR ON AND I WAS TALKING THE MY KIDS IN THE BACK SEAT TURNED AROUND TO LOOK AT THEM WHEN I TURNED AROUND I HEAR A LOUD POP LIKE SOMEONE HAD HIT THE HEADREST BUT NOBODY HAD. LOOKED AT THE HEADREST AND IT HAD DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING. THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND SHORTLY AFTER THE INCIDENT. THANKFULLY I WAS NOT DRIVING OTHERWISE IT WOULD HAVE HIT ME IN THE BACK OF MY HEAD.

POWER SURGING OR FUEL SURGING DURING ACCELERATING. WHEN I TRY TO GET UP TO SPEED IT IS LIKE IT CUTS OUT ON FUEL AND SURGES.

FRONT PASSENGER SIDE HEADREST AIRBAG DEPLOYED RANDOMLY WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED AND NO ONE WAS IN IT.

I HAD JUST GOTTEN INTO MY CAR IT WAS STILL IN PARK I STARTED MY CAR AND PROCEEDED TO MAKE A PHONE CALL WHILE THE CAR WAS ON AND PARKED. WHILE TAKING I HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION SOUND. IT SCARED ME AND I THOUGHT SOME ONE HAD SHOT A GUN. IT TURNED OUT THAT THE PASSENGERS SIDE HEAD REST HAD DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON. I AM THANKING GOD MY FATHER WAS NOT WITH ME THAT DAY AS HE NORMALLY IS. MY DAD HAS A SEVER TBI IF THIS HAD HAPPENED WHILE HE WAS IN THAT SEAT THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT THE FORCE WITH WHICH IT HAPPENED WOULD HAVE KILLED HIM.

MY WIFE'S CAR HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE RUNNING IN TRAFFIC AT 55 MPH AND ABOVE. SHE EASILY COULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN A COLLISION. CAR HAS BEEN TO DEALER 4 TIMES FOR REPAIR, BUT STILL HAS SAME PROBLEM. CAR HAS UNDER 60K MILES.

DRIVER'S SIDE HEADREST DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON WHILE SITTING IN THE PARKING LOT AT WORK. NO ONE WAS IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME.
