2015 DODGE JOURNEY Complaints

I WENT TO TURN ON MY CAR AND IT WAS COMPLETELY DEAD, AND THE KEY WOULD NOT OPEN THE CAR. SOMEONE CAME TO HELP AND CHECKED THE BATTERY WHICH WAS FULLY WORKING PERFECTLY, BUT THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY DEAD STILL, NO POWER RUNNING ANYWHERE. I WENT TO GOOGLE THE PROBLEM AND LIKE ME THERE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE GONE THROUGH THE SAME PROBLEM. IT SEEMS THAT THE CAR GOES INTO LOCKED-DOWN MODE BY ITSELF UNLESS YOU DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND THE COMPUTER REBOOTS THERE'S NOTHING THAT WILL MAKE IT WORK. LOCALLY THIS HAPPENED IN MY BUILDING'S PARKING LOT, I DID UNHOOK THE BATTERY WHICH REBOOTED THE COMPUTER AND THE CAR TURNED ON.

STEERING NOT WORKING; VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN, ESPECIALLY TO THE RIGHT. SINCE 30K MILES THE POWER STEERING HAS INCREASED IN GETTING LOUDER AND LOUDER. WE COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP IN 2016. THEY CHECKED IT AND SAID EVERY THING WAS FINE, CHRYSLER SAYS IT'S JUST LOUD THAT'S ALL. WE'VE BEEN LIVING WITH THIS HORRIBLE NOISE FOR YEARS. IT'S EVEN LOUDER WHEN IT GETS COLDER OUTSIDE. AS IT GETS LOUDER, THE STEERING BECOMES MORE DIFFICULT TO STEER. YESTERDAY, WHEN PULLING ONTO THE HIGHWAY FROM A STOP SIGN, THE POWER STEERING ALL BUT QUIT TURNING TO THE RIGHT. INTERMITTENT WHEN TURNING LEFT. THE VEHICLE HAS 93K ON IT NOW AND IT IS TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HIS WIFE WAS REVERSING OUT OF THE GARAGE THE VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING FUNCTIONALITY. CLASSIC CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF SOUTH CHARLOTTE LOCATED AT (10724 PINEVILLE RD, PINEVILLE, NC 28134, (888)973-0120, WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

MY DRIVER SIDE HEAD REST HAS DEPLOYED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE CAR WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY.

WHILE JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADREST DEPLOYED. IT DID NOT ELECTRONICALLY RELEASE, BUT THE PLASTIC GOING AROUND THE RETAINING PIN BROKE. PASSENGER WAS HIT IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD BUT NOT SERIOUSLY INJURED.

MY SUV AUTO START NO LONGER WORKS AND AS I'M DRIVING THE CAR, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT RANDOMLY COMES ON WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION AND THE CAR ENGINE SHUTS OFF AND STARTS TO SLOW DOWN TO A COMPLETE STOP. WHEN IT GOT PLUGGED UP TO A DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE IT STATED THAT IT HAD 3 CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSORS THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. VECHILE HAS 52000 AND IS A 2015

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON I95 WHEN I NOTICED IT WAS NOT HANDLING WELL AND WAS MAKING A NOISE. I COULD ALSO FEEL A VIBRATION UNDER MY FEET. WE MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT CENTRAL MAINE MOTORS IN WATERVILLE, MAINE FIRST THING TUESDAY MORNING WHO TOLD ME THE POWER STEERING COOLER WAS LEAKING. IN DOING RESEARCH IF FOUND S08 RECALL ON 2011-2016 DODGE JOURNEYS POWER STEERING COOLERS. MY CAR DOES HAVE A 3.6 L ENGINE AND THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. IN READING THE RECALL AND GIVEN THE CIRCUMSTANCES I COULD HAVE BEEN HURT AS THIS WENT WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND DOES IN FACT INCREASE THE CHANCES OF CRASHING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH, WITHOUT WARNING THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LITHIA CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE OF TWIN FALLS (1310 POLE LINE RD E, TWIN FALLS, ID 83301, (208) 293-8571) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. AFTER A SECONDARY FAILURE, THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE IT HAD REMAINED IN THE CUSTODY OF THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY WOULD NOT START ONE DAY. REPLACED THE BATTERY AND ALL CONNECTORS INSPECTED. THE VEHICLE WILL DRIVE FOR A DAY OR TWO THEN END UP WITH ANOTHER DEAD BATTERY. THE MAIN PROBLEM IS WHEN THE LAST TIME THE BATTERY DIED IT TURNED OFF THE ENGINE WHILE I WAS IN AN INTERSECTION AND WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF IT.

THE HEADREST DEPLOYED WHILE DRIVING WITH NO IMPACT. IT IS SPRING LOADED AND POPPED OUT VERY FAST, IT LOOKS LIKE PLASTIC HOLDING A DOING BACK BROKE CAUSING IT TO RELEASE, COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT
