2015 DODGE JOURNEY Complaints

WHEN TAKEN IN TO THE DEALER I WAS INFORMED THT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ABS MODULE.IT WAS COROADED AND SHORTING OUT THE SYSYEM WHICH ALSO CONTROLS THE SPEED SENSORS AND TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM. ON TUESDAY MAY 7TH I STARTED THE CAR AND THE SPEEDOMETER DID NOT REGISTER AND THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS DID NOT ENGAGE THE BRAKES ALSO HOPPED WHEN I TRIED TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP.

MY 16-YEAR-OLD SON WAS DRIVING OUR 2015 DODGE JOURNEY TO SCHOOL. HE BEGAN TO HEAR A NOISE THAT SOUNDED AS IF SOMETHING WAS DRAGGING UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVER BEHIND HIM WAS FLASHING HIM TO PULL OVER, HE BEGAN HAVING ISSUES CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE FORTUNATELY HE WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND AS SOON AS HE GOT TO THE STOP SIGN THE CAR COMPLETELY DIED AFTER MAKING A LOUD NOISE AND STARTED SMOKING. MY SON JUMPED OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND THE DRIVER BEHIND HIM TOLD HIM TO GET AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE AS HE FELT IT WAS ABOUT TO CATCH FIRE BY THE SMELL. ONCE THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER GOT THERE AND TRY TO START THE VEHICLE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL THE CAR AGAIN FILLED UP WITH A BURNING SMELL. HE JUMPED OUT AND HAD TO CALL DISPATCH FOR SAFETY REASONS OF TRANSPORTING THE VEHICLE. ONCE MY VEHICLE ARRIVED AT LONESTAR AUTO PLEX IN CLEBURNE TEXAS OUR SERVICE MAN DAN WAS AMAZING. HE KEPT US INFORMED ALONG THE WAY ASKED QUESTIONS AND HE WAS PROVIDED THE SERVICE RECORDS. COME TO FIND OUT THE ENGINE SEIZED UP. THE ENGINE, OIL PUMP, STARTER, ALL HAD TO BE REPLACED. CHRYSLER REQUESTED THE ENGINE SO THEIR ENGINEERS COULD LOOK AT IT. ALTHOUGH EVERYTHING WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, MY CONCERN IS NOW THAT THERE ARE OTHERS OUT THERE DRIVING IN THE SAME THING MAY HAPPEN TO THEM IF NOT WORSE .

TAKATA RECALL I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON IN MY 2015 DODGE JOURNEY WORRIED MY AIRBAG MAY DEPLOY AS I'M DRIVING.

THE 2015 DODGE JOURNEY R/T AWD. I PURCHASED THIS SUV 2 YEARS AGO AND NOW WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE AND IN MOTION ON STREETS AND HIGHWAYS THE SECOND IT TOUCHES 20 MPH AND UP IT IS MAKING THIS" REVVING NOISE" AS IF IT IS IN ANOTHER GEAR AND IT'S ONLY IN DRIVE! THIS SUV IS NOT THAT OLD TO HAVE SUCH ISSUES HAPPENING NOW. ITS NOT RIGHT WHEN THE CONSUMER IS SPENDING THEIR MONEY FOR A SUV THAT IS GIVING THEM ISSUES SO EARLY INTO THE PURCHASE. DODGE NEEDS TO RECALL THIS VEHICLE!! AND ANYONE EVEN THINKING OF PURCHASING THIS SUV. HONESTLY DON'T... RUN OUT OF ANY DEALERSHIP SELLING THIS 2015 DODGE JOURNEY R/T AWD SUV! THE ONLY JOURNEY YOU WILL TAKE WILL BE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH ISSUES!

AFTER DRIVING IN ABOUT 70 DEGREE SUNNY DAY FOR ABOUT 45 MIN THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT DINGED ON THEN AFTER PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR THE VEHICLE CHUFFED AND COMPLETELY DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERCTION. TURN THE VEHICLE OFF FOR ABOUT 10 MIN AND CONTINUED DRIVING ANOTHER 45 MIN WITHOUT A PROBLEM. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS FROM A STOP TO ABOUT 70 MPH.

TAKATA RECALL: WHEN TRYING TO ADJUST THE CLIMATE CONTROL TO "SYNC THE PASSENGERS" AND TURN OFF THE REAR CONTROLS, WITHIN SECONDS THE COMPUTER IS TURNING THE VEHICLE'S "SYNC" OFF AND TURNING ON THE REAR CONTROL. AS I WAS TRYING TO ADJUST THE TEMPERATURE IT WILL KEEP TURNING THE CONTROLS OFF OF SYNC AND TURN THE REAR CONTROLS BACK ON. IT HAPPENS WHETHER I'M SITTING I'M IDLE OR DRIVING, THERE HAVE BEEN NO CONDITIONS THAT AFFECT THE WAY ITS WORKING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. REEDMAN TOLL CHRYSLER/JEEP (1700 LINCOLN HWY, LANGHORNE, PA) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

I TRIED TO START MY CAR AND IT WOULD NOT START WE TRIED TO PUSH THE START BUTTON TWICE AND PUT IT IN NEUTRAL PRESS THE BRAKE IT WOULDN'T START WE TRIED PRESSING THE BUTTON FIVE TIMES RESETTING IT IT WOULDN'T START WE TRIED DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY TO RESET THE COMPUTER IS STILL WOULDN'T START THE CAR WAS PARKED. IT WON'T TURN OVER. WHEN LOOKING ON THE INTERNET SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE.

THE ABS AND ESC ALARM AND WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME, WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND I HAD JUST APPLIED THE BRAKES FOR A CAR TURNING LEFT THAT WAS IN FRONT OF ME.

TACT RECALL WE WERE T-BONE BY RANGE ROVER, WHOSE AIRBAGS DID DEPLOY, OURS DID NOT. WE WERE TRAVELING AT 20-30 MILES PER HOUR THE OTHER CAR WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 40-45 MILES PER HOUR. THE IMPACT WAS THE COMPLETE FRONT END OF OUR CAR MORE IMPACT ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE; THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS BROKEN.. NEITHER AIR BAGS LOCATED IN THE CAR DEPLOYED. OUR CAR WAS DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS $12,500.00 WORTH OF DAMAGE.
