2010 DODGE JOURNEY Complaints

HORN HAS BEEN GOING OFF RANDOMLY. IT HAS GONE OFF WHILE SITTING, LOCKED AND UNLOCKED, PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY AS WELL AS IN THE GARAGE. IT HAS GONE OFF IN ALL TYPES OF WEATHER, HOT, COLD AND RAIN OR SHINE. IT HAS ALSO GONE OFF WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE LOOK FOR AND NOT SEEN ANY LIGHTS OR INDICATORS FLASHING OR GOING OFF WHILE THE HORN WAS HONKING AND HAVE ONLY BEEN ABLE TO STOP IT BY REMOVING THE FUSES. I REINSTALL THE FUSES AND IT MAY GO A DAY, A WEEK OR MORE BEFORE IT DOES IT AGAIN. SAM LEMAN CHRYSLER JEEP RAM FIAT MORTON HAS BEEN VERY HELPFUL IN TRYING TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE BUT IT IS GETTING VERY COSTLY. RECENTLY TRIED TO ALLOW A RELATIVE TO TAKE A DRIVING TEST TO OBTAIN THEIR DRIVERS LICENSE BUT THE CAR WILL NOT PASS THE SAFETY INSPECTION WITHOUT A HORN. DRIVING WITHOUT A HORN IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IS AN ISSUE ON NUMEROUS CHRYSLER CARS AND IN MY OPINION CHRYSLER NEEDS TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. AT THIS TIME I PUT THE FUSES IN WHEN WE DRIVE IT HOPING THE HORN WILL NOT GO OFF WHILE DRIVING AND THEN REMOVE THE FUSES WHEN WE PARK IT.

'TAKATA RECALL' WHEN I PUT MY KEY IN AND TRY TO TURN OVER MY VEHICLE IT WILL NOT START. IT APPEARS THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH IS MALFUNCTIONING . AND I'VE BEEN STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH TWO KIDS AND IT'S BEEN HAPPENING FOR MONTHS AND NOW I'M STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, BECAUSE NORMALLY IT WOULD TURN OVER AFTER A FEW TRIES BUT NOW IT WON'T TURN AT ALL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HORN WAS SOUNDING WITHOUT BEING PRESSED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,000.

CAR INTERMITTENTLY WILL NOT START NO ERROR CODE COMES UP. DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, AND STARTER AND THE ISSUE IS STILL HAPPENING. I'VE TAKEN IT TO SEVERAL MECHANICS AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO RESOLVE. WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR IT ONLY CLICKS AND WON'T START. THIS IS WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND ITS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS.

CAR SHUTS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. POWER STEERING AND BREAKS GO OUT. VERY DANGEROUS, WITHOUT ANY WARNING THE CAR JUST TURNS OFF. IT HAS HAPPENED AT ALL DIFFERENT SPEEDS, WHILE TURNING, WHILE GOING UP HILL, WHILE GOING DOWN HILL. SEEMS TO BE THE IGNITION. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS BUT IT FOR SOME REASON DOES NOT APPLY TO MY VIN AND I CANT UNDERSTAND WHY. I NEED TO HAVE THIS FIXED IMMEDIATELY, WHY IS MY CAR NOT ON THIS RECALL?

DEFECTIVE TIPM MANY VEHICLES DODGE/CHRYSLER HAVE BEEN RECALLED, THE MAJORITY FROM 2007-2015. JOURNEYS WERE NOT INCLUDED, BUT ACCORDING TO THE INCREDIBLE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS I FEEL THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN. THIS EFFECTS EVERYTHING AND MY CAR LOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT WILL BE MUCH CHEAPER FOR DODGE TO FIX IT THEN TO GET THE LAWSUIT WHEN MY AIRBAG DOESN'T DEPLOY OR I AM IN AN ACCIDENT.

THE CAR TURNS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING, ONE TIME I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT SECOND TIME MAKING A RIGHT TURN. LOSE POWER STEERING CAN'T TURN THE WHEEL THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE NOW IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. NO WARNING NO INDICATORS COME ON. FEEL VERY UNSAFE!

MY RIGHT SIDE DOOR LATCHES ARE RATCHETING AND WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK PROPERLY EITHER WHEN USING THE REMOTE OR PRESSING THE DOOR LOCK SWITCH.

THE HORN BEEPS AT RANDOM TIMES WHEN IM NOT DRIVING AND EVEN WHILE DRIVING. MY WINDOWS COME DOWN ON THEIR OWN AT RANDOM TIMES AND SOMETIMES IT WONT START.

MY VEHICLE'S HORN SOUNDS INTERMITTENTLY WHILE STATIONARY, IN MOTION AND WHETHER THE ENGINE IS RUNNING OR NOT. IT SOUNDS ON CITY STREETS AS WELL AS HIGHWAYS. I HAD MY VEHICLE IN THE DEALERSHIP SEVICE 4 TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE. A REPAIR WAS ATTEMPTED TO CHANGE THE FUSEBOX BUT THAT DIDN'T RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER THE FAILED REPAIR AND I WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T RECREATE THE ISSUE SO THERE WAS NO SERVICE THEY COULD PROVIDE. THE BLOWING HAS CREATED INCIDENTS OF ROAD RAGE WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND ON A SEPARATE INCIDENT STARTLED A DRIVER WHO WAS WAITING FOR PEDESTRIAN TO CROSS THE STREET CAUSING THEM TO ALMOST HIT THE PEDESTRIAN BECAUSE MY CAR STRARTED BLOWING VIOLENTLY AT THEM. THIS ISSUE IS A RISK TO MY AND MY FAMILY'S SAFETY. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER SERVICE CENTER AND WAS ALSO TOLD THE DEALERSHIP HAD TO BE ABLE TO RECREATE THE ISSUE. IT'S A TIMING ISSUE AND THE VEHCLIE'S MALFUNCTION IS UNPREDICTABLE. I NEED HELP RESOLVING THIS SAFETY HAZZARD. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT WARPED CLOCK SPRINGS MAY BE THE ISSUE BUT IT IS UNKNOWN TO ME.
