2010 DODGE JOURNEY Complaints

HORN BEGAN TO RANDOMLY HONK WHILE OFF, UNOCCUPIED. CONTINUED TO RANDOMLY HONK WHEN DRIVEN ALSO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE LIGHTING, HORN, AND ALARM ENGAGED INDEPENDENTLY. THE FAILURES WERE EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TWO UNKNOWN DEALERS FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE CODE WAS UNABLE TO BE PRODUCED. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE BATTERY HIMSELF IN AN ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, IT WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE CONTACT RECENTLY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A FAILURE IN THE STEERING WHEEL IGNITION AREA. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000.

POWER STEERING MAKES A WHINNING SOUND WHEN STARTING THE SUV. THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF AND THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON DUE TO ELECTRICAL ISSUES. MY IGNITION ALSO SLIPS WHILE DRIVING.

VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AFTER IT WAS RUNNING FOR 20 MIN. HAD INTERIOR LIGHTS, HORN, WIPERS BUT NO START. ALSO HAPPENED WHEN OUT FOR 1/2 DAY AND BACKED INTO DRIVEWAY TO EMPTY CAR, WENT TO START CAR TO MOVE IT, WOULDN'T START. OUTSIDE TEMPS WERE IN THE 80'S. CALLED FOR JUMP FROM STATEWIDE ROAD SERVICE (DID NOT START) CALLED AAA SERVICE (GOT TO START AFTER 5 TRIES) COOL TEMPS ON SUNDAY CAR STARTED. TOOK TO ROBIN FORD WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY.

I HAVE A 2010 DODGE JOURNEY 81,000 MILES & HAD IT ABOUT 1 YEAR. OVER THE PAST 6 MONTHS I HAVE BOUGHT 6 BATTERIES BECAUSE MY CAR WOULD FAIL TO START. MY FRONT WIPERS WOULD RANDOMLY MOVE WHEN THE CARE WAS PARKED AND NO ONE IN IT THEN MY BACK WIPERS WOULD DO THE SAME. THE DODGE RAM LIGHT ON MY DASHBOARD WOULD COME ON RANDOMLY WHEN THE CARE WAS PARKED AND KEY WAS NOT IN THE IGNITION. FINALLY TOOK IT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP IN FEB, THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY, KEPT THE CARE FOR OVER A WEEK, CALLED ME AND STATED THAT THE CAR HAD A BATTERY DRAINAGE PROBLEM BUT WHEN ON THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST, THE PROBLEM WOULDN'T SHOW ITS FACE LONG ENOUGH FOR THE MECHANIC TO TRACK DOWN THE PROBLEM. THEY ALSO STATED THE REASON MY HORN DIDN'T WORK WAS BECAUSE SOMEONE TOOK OUT THE FUSE. WHEN THEY PUT THE FUSE BACK IN, MY HORN WOULD RANDOMLY GO OFF NO MATTER IF IT WAS PARKED OR IF I WAS DRIVING IT. I TOOK THE CAR BACK HOME AND SURE ENOUGH, LESS THAN A WEEK LATER, SAME ISSUE. THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR ANOTHER 2 WEEKS, SAME OUTCOME! COULD NOT TRACK DOWN THE ISSUE. A WEEK AFTER I GOT THE CAR BACK, I WAS DRIVING AND AS I PRESSED THE GAS, MY CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE!! I WAS IN 5PM TRAFFIC WITH 2 KIDS, ALMOST CAUSED A WRECK TRYING TO GET OVER TO A PARKING LOT. MY STEERING WHEEL WOULD HARDLY MOVE! HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED AGAIN TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE ASKED AGAIN AND AGAIN IF IT WAS THE TIPM BUT I GET NOWHERE!!!! THIS CAR IS POSSESSED AND DODGE SEEMS TO NOT CARE ENOUGH TO FIX THE PROBLEM OR FIND IT FOR THAT MATTER. I DONT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT (I CANT AT THE MOMENT BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO FIX THE FUEL PUMP WHICH IS RAN BY WHAT....YOU GUESSED IT THE TIPM)! I NEVER KNOW IF THE CAR IS GOING TO START FROM MOMENT TO MOMENT NOR DO I KNOW IF IM GOING TO BE STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH MY CHILDREN.AGAIN! A CAR SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS MAY ISSUES AND THE DEALERSHIP NOT KNOWING OR ACKNOWLEDGING THE PROBLEM!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE, BUT IT FAILED TO START. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CLASSIC CADILLAC (8470 TYLER BLVD, MENTOR, OH 44060) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DODGE DEALER, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE HORN IS GOING OFF WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. IT IS ALSO GOING OFF WHEN I AM DRIVING ON THE ROAD. I COULDN'T GET IT TO STOP GOING OFF, MY HUSBAND HAD TO TAKE OUT THE HORN FUSE. I NOW HAVE NO HORN, ALSO THAT MEANS I HAVE NO ALARM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

ABOUT A YEAR AGO MY CAR HORN STARTED GOING OFF AT RANDOM. I COULD BE DRIVING OR IT COULD BE SITTING STATIONARY/NOT RUNNING AND THE HORN WOULD BLOW INTERMITTENTLY OR CONSTANTLY. I HAVE ALMOST CAUSE A FEW ACCIDENTS BEING STOPPED BEHIND SOMEONE AND THEN THE HORN BLOWS AND THEY START TO GO ON A RED LIGHT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY REGULAR MECHANIC OVER 25 TIMES AND EVEN TOOK IT TO THE GLENDALE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. OF COURSE WHEN IT WAS THERE IT DIDN'T DO ANYTHING AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. I EVEN HAVE IT ON VIDEO SHOWING WHAT IT DOES. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE AND AM APPALLED THAT CHRYSLER CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT THIS PROBLEM IS. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AROUND FOR OVER A YEAR WITHOUT MY HORN.

THE KEY FOB WAS THE FIRST THING I NOTICED,IT WOULDN'T LOCK/UNLOCK THE CAR, HANGED THE BATTERY,NOTHING CHANGED. MONTHS LATER I CANNOT LOCK/UNLOCK WITH THE KEY FOB OR ON THE DOOR PANEL.THE CAR STAYS UNLOCKED ALL THE TIME (NOT GOOD) ALSO THE BACK WIPER NO LONGER WORKS..NOW, THE HORN...THE HORN DOES NOT STOP HONKING!!! DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU'RE DRIVING OR THE CAR IS OFF AN PARKED..... ALSO UNSAFE. I HAD TO DISCONNECT IT AND BEEN WITHOUT FOR OVER A YR. I'VE CONTACTED DODGE..SEEMS TO BE THE SAME STORY I SEE ONLINE,THEY ARE SURPRISED AND NEVER HEARD OF ANYONE HAVING AN ISSUE🤔🤔 SEEMS FISHY. AND LET'S NOT FORGET THE ENGINE,IT SOMETIMES STARTS ..SOMETIMES I HAVE TO WAIT FOR IT TO KICK IN. I USED TO NOT EVEN BE ABLE TO TURN IT ON AT ALL AND HAVE TO SHIFT IT IN DIFF. GEARS TO GET IT TO GO. I AM HOPING SOMEONE CAN HELP.IM FED UP WITH DODGE.

THE HORN HONKS ON IT'S OWN AND WILL NOT SHUT OFF. THE HORN WILL START TO HONK WHILE DRIVING.
