2015 DODGE JOURNEY Complaints

THE DRIVER SIDE HEADREST DEPLOYED RANDOMLY. IT APPEARS THAT SOMETHING INSIDE SNAPPED/BROKE. WE CANNOT DRIVE IT WITHOUT IT PUSHING THE DRIVER'S HEAD FORWARD.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW. CAR WILL NOT START AT TIME, BLOWN FUSES, BAD COOLING FANS, PCM ISSUES, TCM ISSUES, FUSE JUNCTION BOX ISSUES. CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE LAREDO DODGE DEALER BEING FIXED AND THEY ARE HAVING HARD TIME FIXING MY CAR. 2015 DODGE JOURNEY WITH ONLY 55K MILES ON IT.*DT*JB

MY HEAD REST DEPLOYED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND WILL NOT GO BACK INTO PLACE I THINK THE CLIP THAT HOLD IT IN BROKE WHEN IT DEPLOYED. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT OR INJURY HAD I BEEN LEANING AGAINST IT. *TR

UPON ENTERING OUR VEHICLE, WE NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER HEADREST HAD DEPLOYED. WE HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, HAD NOT MOVED THE SEAT OR EVEN TILTED IT FORWARD. THIS APPEARS TO JUST HAVE HAPPENED OVERNIGHT, WHILE THE CAR WAS SITTING. *TR

WHEN ACCELERATING IT HAS A HESITATION LIKE THE FUEL SUPPLY SHUTS OFF BRIEFLY OR IT IS MISFIRING OR SOMETHING THAT IS CAUSING ME TO NOT BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE UP TO SPEED WHEN TAKING OFF OR DURING DRIVING. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS. *TR

THE HEADREST ON THE PASSENGER SEAT HAD DISLODGED WITHOUT ANY MAJOR FORCE. THE PLASTIC THAT HOLDS THE BAR HAS CRACKED LEAVING THE HEADREST UNABLE TO SECURE BACK IN PLACE. THE TINY BAR THAT IS LOCKED INTO PLACE WITH TWO PLASTIC PIECES ARE STILL INTACT AND THE TWO PLACES THAT HOLD THE BAR HAS CRACKED OFF BOTH SIDES. WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT AND SHE LEANED ON THE HEADREST CAUSING THIS TO ACTIVATE AND HIT MY WIFE'S HEAD FROM THE BACK WHILE WAITING FOR ME IN THE CAR. *TR

WHEN I LOOK AT THE MESSAGE BOARDS FOR THIS DODGE MAKE OF CAR THERE ARE ENDLESS MENTIONS OF THIS PROBLEM AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT PEOPLE ENDLESSLY SPENDING MONEY TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT DODGE KNOWS IS CAUSING THESE PROBLEMS. JUST BOUGHT MY SON THIS CAR AND 3 DAYS LATER THE CAR WILL NOT START IN THE MORNING. SETTING IN THE DRIVEWAY AT HOME. WAS ABLE TO JUMP THE VEHICLE TO GET IT STARTED ONLY IT TO NOT START AGAIN WHEN RETURNING FROM WORK 6 HOURS LATER PARKED IN A PARKING GARAGE. DROVE OUT THERE HAD TO JUMP VEHICLE AGAIN. BOUGHT NEW BATTERY AND REPLACED CAR DID THE SAME THING 8 HOURS LATER, USED BATTERY CHECKED GOOD AS WELL AS THE ALTERNATOR. GOT ONLINE AND FOUND ALL OF THESE SUGGESTIONS TO OVERRIDE A SAFETY FEATURE IN THE CAR THAT SEEMED TO WORK FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE BUT DID NOT WORK FOR US. PLEASE LOOK AT ALL THE ONLINE COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SITUATION AND MAKE DODGE FIX THIS PROBLEM, I TRAVEL EXTENSIVELY AND MY WIFE IS SICK WITH CANCER AND I'M NOT THERE NOR IS SHE ABLE TO HELP WITH GETTING THIS FIXED EVERY 8 HOURS TO 3 DAYS DEPENDING ON HOW LONG IT LASTS. *TR

VEHICLE,IN GARAGE OVERNIGHT, WHEN TRYING TO ENTER VEHICLE IN THE MORNING IT WOULD NOT RECOGNIZE KEY FOB AND NO ELECTRICAL POWER IN VEHICLE. JUMP STARTED AND TOWED TO REPAIR SHOP. THEY DID AN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TEST AND FOUND NO PROBLEM AND RECHARGED THE BATTERY. BATTERY WAS AT FULL CHARGE THE NIGHT BEFORE AND NO INDICATION OF ELECTRICAL DRAIN, NO LIGHTS LEFT ON. BATTERY WAS REPLACED 3 WEEKS AGO. ELECTRICAL TEST SHOWED BATTERY IN GOOD CONDITION, NO DEAD CELLS. *TR
