2010 DODGE JOURNEY Complaints

THE HORN GOES OFF ON IT'S OWN, AT ALL TIMES OF THE DAY AND NIGHT, WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS ON OR OFF. IT GOES OFF TO THE POINT WHERE THE FUSE HAS TO BE PULLED, WHICH HAS RESULTED IN A VEHICLE WITH AN INACTIVE HORN, CAUSING A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE

MY DODGE JOURNEY WILL LEAVE ME STRANDED, IN WHAT IT SEEMS, THE MOST INCONVENIENT TIMES. THIS ISSUE WILL HAPPEN AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK NOW. I WILL TURN THE IGNITION AND TRIED TO START THE CAR, BUT ALL I'LL GET IS A "CLICK" SOUND. SOMETIMES PUTTING THE CAR IN NEUTRAL WORKS, MOST OF THE TIME DOESN'T. SOMETIMES I CAN'T EVEN GET THE CAR OUT OF PARK, EVEN WHEN THE KEY IS INSERTED AND MOVED TO START. WHAT IT SEEMS TO WORK ALMOST EVERYTIME IS TO WAIT IT OUT. IT'S A HUGE WASTE OF TIME, BUT I'VE WAITED ANYWHERE FROM 18 MINUTES UP TO 1 HOUR AND 34 MINUTES. I'VE TAKEN THE SUV ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SPEND MORE THAN $2,000 IN APPARENT FIXES THAT DOESN'T DO ANYTHING. I'VE DONE RECALLS FOR THE IGNITION AND THE WIRE HARNESS, AS WELL AS REPLACING THE BATTERY (TWICE), STARTER (THREE TIMES) AND THE NEUTRAL SAFETY POSITION SWITCH (ONCE). CALLED DODGE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, BUT THEIR RESPONSE IS THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S CAUSING THIS PROBLEM AND THAT APPARENTLY THERE'S NOT ENOUGH COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THIS IS THE VEHICLE MY WIFE USES TO GO TO WORK AND TAKE THE KIDS AROUND. I'VE READ THAT SOME PEOPLE, THEIR VEHICLES, JUST STOPPED WORKING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET WHILE THEY WERE DRIVING. SUPER UNSAFE AND DODGE DOESN'T WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR MALFUNCTION.

MY JOURNEY HAS EPISODES OF NOT STARTING. EVERYTHING ON THE DASH WILL COME ON BUT NOT START. I'VE HAD MULTIPLE STARTERS REPLACED AND SENSORS AND MORE AND NOTHING HAS FIXED THE ISSUE.

KEY CAN BE TURNED OFF, AND OUT, BUT WILL NOT KILL THE ENGINE, OR LIGHTS. IGNITION SWITCH MODULE REPLACEMENT THROUGH DEALER, AND REPROGRAMMING IS THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IT. SEEN A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT DEALER TELLS ME MY CAR IS NOT ON THE LIST. I TURN MY CAR OFF PULL THE KEY OUT, AND I AM STILL ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR AS IF THE KEY WAS IN IT.
