2009 DODGE JOURNEY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TRANSMISSION FAILURE. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE DOORS WOULD NOT LOCK AND THE TIRES BLEW OUT, AS THERE WAS NO TREAD ON THEM. *JB

THE CAR IS ACTING POSSESSED. THE PEDOMETERS AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD ARE BLINKING ON AND OFF THE WINDOWS ARE ROLLING UP AND DOWN BY ITSELF. THE CAR CUTS OFF BY ITSELF WHICH DRIVING AND WHEN I PUT IT IN PARK THE GEAR SHIFT WON'T MOVE OUT OF PARK AND THE CAR WON'T CUT ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TIPM MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THE WIRE HARNESS.BUT DIDNT TELL ME THAT ITS RECALLS OUT HERE 4 THE SAME PROBLEM MY CAR IS HAVING.

I PURCHASED MY DODGE JOURNEY SXT 09-22-2016. ON FEBRUARY 3, 2017, I DROVE ABOUT 5 MILES (TO MY DAUGHTER'S SCHOOL THEN TO MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT). I TURNED OFF MY VEHICLE, BEGAN TO EXIT THE CAR AND NOTICED IT HAD LIGHT SMOKE COMING FROM IT. IT BOTHERED ME SEEING THERE WAS NOT REASON (I.E. WASTED FLUIDS) AND I JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I CALLED MY SOMEONE TO INQUIRE FROM THEM ABOUT THE SMOKE, AND THE NEXT THING I KNOW, PEOPLE ARE YELLING AT ME TO GET OUT OF THE CAR!!! MY SIDE OF THE CAR WAS ON FIRE (UNDER THE HOOD). THE CAR WAS STATIONARY IN A PRIVATE PARKING LOT. THE ENGINE WAS NOT RUNNING. IN FACT, IF IF MY CAR DOOR WASN'T OPEN, I WOULD NOT BE TYPING THIS NOTICE.

THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS COME ON BY THEMSELVES AND WILL NOT TURN OFF, HAD TO REMOVE FUSE. AS I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK THEY CAME ON AND WOULDN'T TURN OFF. THEN THE TURN SIGNALS, HEADLIGHTS, AND DASHBOARD LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING. THIS CAR HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN AND THESE WORK WHEN THEY FEEL LIKE IT; MEANING THEY COME AND GO, WORKING ONE SECOND THEN NOT THE NEXT, THEN WORKING AGAIN....USUALLY THEY DON'T WORK AND STOP FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME THEN EVENTUALLY WORK AGAIN LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. THIS TIME I'M NOT SO SURE HOW LONG IT IS GOING TO GO ON BECAUSE IT IS WORSE AND ONGOING. I AM FINDING JUST HOW DANGEROUS IT IS NOT TO BE ABLE TO USE TURN SIGNALS, ETC. I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE TO WORK NOW BECAUSE OF THE HEADLIGHTS! AND NOW THE RAIN IS COMING IN AND I AM NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE WITHOUT HEADLIGHTS OR WIPERS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS - THERE ARE SOOO MANY COMPLAINTS! IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO ME OR MY CHILDREN OR GRANDCHILDREN THERE WILL BE A LAWSUIT FILED AS THERE IS NO REASON FOR THIS NOT TO BE RECALLED WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS AND DANGER IT ENTAILS. COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ ARE ABOUT AIR BAGS NOT DEPLOYING, CARS STALLING IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, ETC. THIS IS TOTALLY ABSURD!!!!! AND AS BAD AS MY CAR IS GETTING THESE PROBLEMS WON'T BE FAR BEHIND. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO DOLE OUT FOR THIS BEING A SINGLE MOM AS IT IS A COSTLY FIX, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHY THEY REFUSE TO RECALL I AM SURE!!

OWN A 2009 DODGE JOURNEY. REPLACED THE HEATER CORE 3 YEARS AGO. WARRANTY FOR 1 YEAR. NEW COIL WENT UP APPROX. 2 WEEKS AFTER WARRANTY. REFUSED TO WARRANTY IT. PAID TO HAVE ANOTHER HEATER COIL INSTALLED. SAID IT WAS WARRANTED FOR 2 YEARS. SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED LAST WEEK. WENT AND TALKED TO DEALER ABOUT WARRANTY FOR THIS ONE. THEY SAID NO, THAT IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY BY 15 DAYS. TOLD ME TO CALL DODGE GOOD WILL DEPARTMENT. THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAD TO PAY TO HAVE IT CHECKED FIRST. THAT COST WAS ABOUT $80.00 AND NO GUARANTEE THAT IT WOULD BE COVERED EVEN THOUGH IT'S AN ON GOING PROBLEM. AN EMPLOYEE TOLD ME THAT THEY REPLACE A LOT OF THESE HEATER COILS. OBVIOUSLY THERE'S A PROBLEM. CHECKED ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THERE'S A LOT OF THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT I'M HAVING, HOT AIR ON DRIVERS SIDE COLD AIR ON PASSENGERS SIDE UNTIL IT TOTALLY GOES UP. SEVERAL MECHANICS ON THE INTERNET STATED THAT IT'S A FLAW IN ITS DESIGN. 2 MAIN PROBLEMS, FIRST SEEMS SPLIT SECOND IT PLUGS WITH SEDIMENT VERY EASILY. OBVIOUSLY VERY LITTLE HEAT WHEN CAR IS RUNNING.
