2010 DODGE JOURNEY Complaints

THE CAR WILL NOT START HALF THE TIME I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM I GO TO THE STORE AND GET IN MY CAR AND THE ANTI THEFT LIGHT WILL BE ON AND IT WILL NOT CRANK THE INTERNET IS FLOODED WITH THE SAME PROBLEM FROM THOUSANDS OF OWNERS AND IT'S STILL NOT FIXED I'M TIRED OF BEING STRANDED WHEN I STILL OWE 8000 ON MY CAR

SENTRY SECURITY FEATURE RANDOMLY MALFUNCTIONS, DEACTIVATING THE ENGINE AND STRANDING THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE MAKES CLICK NOISE WHEN KEY FOB IS TURNED TO START, BUT ENGINE WON'T TURN OVER. THEN VEHICLE WILL ACT LIKE THE BATTERY IS DEAD, EVEN THOUGH IT ISN'T. THE VEHICLE WILL WORK NORMALLY FOR MONTHS WITH NO PROBLEMS. NO WARNINGS AND NO PATTERNS. ONLY ABLE TO START AGAIN AFTER A FEW HOURS LEFT ALONE. NO ACTION RESOLVES THE ISSUE.

NOVEMBER 20, 2018 \ HORN FOR MY 2010 DODGE JOURNEY SE HAS BEEN GOING OFF BY ITSELF REPEATEDLY OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS. HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING AND AT ALL TIMES OF THE DAY AND NIGHT GOES OFF WHILE PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND WHILE GOING DOWN MAIN STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. LENGTH OF TIME IT GOES OFF VARIES. THIS HAS DRAINED MY BATTERY AND HAS ON OCCASION, HAS COMPLETELY DISABLED MY HORN. LOCAL DODGE DEALER, INTERSTATE DODGE, WEST MONROE, LA, SAID THEY FOUND NO PROBLEM WITH THE HORN WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE. HOWEVER, IT STILL GOES OFF WITHOUT NOTICE. MOST RECENTLY TODAY, 11\20\2018. IT FINALLY STOPPED WHEN I TURNED THE IGNITION TO "ACC". AM SERIOUSLY CONCERNED THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OF MY 2010 DODGE JOURNEY SE IS AT RISK. THIS CAR COULD "DIE" ON ME IN TRAFFIC.

I WAS PICKING UP MY KIDS FROM SCHOOL AND MY HORN KEPT GOING OFF. IT WENT OF ALL THE WAY HOME I HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T STOP. EVEN AFTER IT WAS TURNED OFF AND PARKED.

I'VE HAD MY TRUCK TWO YEARS AND I HAVE REPLACED THE STARTER 5 TIMES. I JUST REPLACED IT ON 11-11-18. TODAY IS 11-17-18 AND ITS GOING OUT AGAIN. I'VE HEARD THAT ALL THE 2009 AND 2010 ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. AND THE REPAIR SHOPS DON'T KNOW WHATS GPING ON.

VEHICLE DOES RANDOM NO START JUST CLICKS HAD STARTER REPLACED DID NOT FIX ISSUE. I READ ON INTERNET TELLS ME TO MOVE GEAR SELECTOR BACK AND FORTH OR JUST PUT IT IN NEUTRAL TO START UP. WHEN MY JOURNEY DOES NOT WANT TO START I HAVE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND IT STARTS RIGHT UP, ANOTHER ISSUE I JUST NOTICED IS THE WHEN TURN HEATER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE VENTS BLOW COOL AIR OTHER VENTS ARE HOT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE HORN WOULD SOUND WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT REMOVED THE FUSE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED ONCE THE FUSE WAS RE-INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT TO CALL NHTSA. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO CALL THE DEALER. THE DEALER WAS NOT CALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 79,000.

HORN GOES ON RANDOMLY. MOSTLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. IT HAS SOUNDED WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT DRIVER PUSHING HORN PAD. I AM CONCERNED THAT IT MAY CAUSE A ROAD RAGE ISSUE IF IT GOES ON WHILE DRIVING. ALSO A CONCERN THAT IF IT GOES ON DURING THE NIGHT, THAT IT MAY BE PRESUMED TO BE AN ALARM AN CAUSE UNNECESSARY CALL FOR POLICE TO INVESTIGATE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS AND I HAD TOPULL FUSES TO STOP IT. MULTIPLE PEOPLE COMPLAINING ONLINE ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH DODGE VEHICLES.

WHILE DRIVING THE HORN ON THE VEHICLE BLOWS FOR NO APPARENT REASON. WE REMOVED THE HORN FUSES AND IT DID STOP, BUT ONCE PUT BACK IN THE HORN BLOWS CONTINUOUSLY WHILE DRIVING.

WHILE DRIVING MY DODGE JOURNEY THE HORN BEGAN TO BLOW EXTENSIVELY. I WAS NOT MANUALLY BLOWING THE HORN. THE HORN BEGAN TO BLOW ON IT'S OWN, THEN IT WOULD STOP FOR APPROXIMATELY 3 MINUTES, THEN START AGAIN. NEXT DAY, IT DID THE SAME BUT WITH DIFFERENT TIME INTERVALS. IT WAS BLOWING INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN I WAS HOME, WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED AND LOCKED, THE HORN BEGAN TO BLOW AGAIN. I FINALLY HAD TO TAKE FUSES OUT. I'M NOW DRIVING WITHOUT A HORN, I CARRY A PURCHASED HORN IN THE CAR. ONLINE THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND MAKE OF CAR. THE FIX IS PRICEY! PEOPLE ARE NOT AWARE THAT THEY SHOULD COME TO THIS SITE TO INITIATE A RECALL SO THAT THE MANUFACTURER WILL AIDE US WITH REPAIR. PLEASE HELP US.
