2010 DODGE JOURNEY Complaints

WHILE PARKED, LOCKED AND UNATTENDED THE HORN KEPT HONKING AND WOULD NOT STOP. HAD TO REMOVE FUSES 22 AND 23. OTHER PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THIS SAME PROBLEM FOR THIS SAME TYPE OF VEHICLE AND THEY HAVE NOT HAD ANY RESOLUTION. A HORN IS REQUIRED TO DRIVE INCASE OF EMERGENCY TO AVOID COLLISIONS. IT IS CRIMINAL THAT DODGE WILL NOT ADDRESS THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM. HELP IS NEED HERE, PLEASE. HTTPS://DODGEFORUM.COM/FORUM/DODGE-JOURNEY/375847-2010-JOURNEY-WITH-HONKING-ISSUE-4.HTML

MY CAR IS AT 71000 MILES IT WILL NOT SWITCH INTO GEARS MEANING I HAVE TO PULL OVER TURN CAR OFF AND BACK ON IN HOPE THAT IT WILL SWITCH GEARS. MANY TIMES THAT DOESN'T WORK. MY BRAKE CALIBER HAS BEEN REPLACED AND IT STILL IS MESSED UP AGAIN. YESTERDAY I WAS RIDING DOWN ROAD AND CAR JUST POWERED OFF ON ME FOR NO REASON. I COULD NOT START IT BACK UP AFTER HOUR IT RESTARTED.WE CHECKED ENGINE FLUID ETC EVERYTHING WAS GOOD. I WAITED UNTIL END OF MY SHIFT WENT AND GOT CAR TO TAKE HOME. AS I BEGAN TRAVELING HOME A POWER LIGHTING BOLT CAME ON IN MY DASH. CAR SHUT OFF AGAIN WOULD NOT START UNFORTUNATELY I WAS UNABLE TO BARE OFF THE ROAD BECAUSE EVERYTHING LOCKED UP IN CAR. I WISH I NEVER PURCHASED THIS CAR.

FOR THE FOURTH TIME NOW I HAVE HAD TO HAVE MY VEHICLE IN TO HAVE THE POWER STEERING HOSE REPLACED!!!! AND OF COURSE, I AM AM BEING TOLD THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE A FACTORY BLOCK HEATER INSTALLED SO IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO DISAPPOINTED BY A COMPANY IN ALL MY LIFE!!!! EACH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IT HAS CAUSED A HUGE INCONVENIENCE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. THE FIRST TIME THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT A SCHOOL FUNSTION. STARTED IT, LET IT RUN FOR ABOUT 5 MIN AND WHEN I ACCELERATED TO LEAVE MY POWER STEERING WAS GONE. SECOND TIME, I WAS PARKED, WENT TO START IT AND WENT TO LEAVE. AGAIN, NO POWER STEERING. THIRD TIME I WAS PARKED IN A LOT FOR SHOPPING. I STARTED IT, WENT TO LEAVE AND NO POWER STEERING. THE FOURTH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE. I STARTED IT REMOTELY. WHEN I WENT TO BACK OUT OF THE GARAGE THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING. IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER NO LESS!!!! I WAS LEFT ONTHE SIDE OF ROAD WITH MY TWO KIDS LAST FRIDAY WHEN THE TEMPERATURE HERE IN MN WAS -20. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?! ALL OF THESE OCCURRENCES HAVE HAPPENED INT HE DEAD OF WINTER. NOT TO MENTION THE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS I HAVE TO KEEP ON PAYING TO HAVE THIS FIXED. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL, BUT I CAN'T BE COMPENSATED UNDER THE RECALL BECAUSE IT DOESN'T HAVE A BLOCK HEATER?. A BLOCK HEATER HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH POWER STEERING HOSES BLOWING OFF ON START UP IN WINTER. I REALLY NEED HELP AS I AM SINGLE MOM WITH TWO KIDS AND CONNOT AFFORD TO CONTINUE TAKING TIME OFF FROM WORK TO TAKE MY VEHICLE IN FOR THIS PROBLEM. ANY HELP OR INFORMATION YOU MAY BE ABLE TO PROVIDE IS GREATYL APPRECIATED!!

CAR STALLED WHILE TURNING A CORNER. IT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT SOUNDS LIKE RECALL NO.L02.

I JUST HAD TO REPLACE THE IGNITION SWITCH, KNOWING OTHER DODGE JOURNEYS HAD A RECALL, BUT OF COURSE NOT MINE, YET THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH MY SPECIFIC MODEL I HAVE NO CLUE WHY THEY WERE NOT RECALLED! TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY THIS MAY OR MAY NOT FIX THE ISSUES I'M HAVING. MY AIRBAG LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF RANDOMLY AND OFTEN LEAVING MY CAR AND FAMILY VULNERABLE. MY ETC AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ALONG WITH MY ENGINE LIGHT COME ON RANDOMLY AND THROW MY CAR INTO LIMP MODE WHILE IM ON THE HIGHWAY WITH KIDS IN THE CAR. THE LIGHTS CLEAR THEMSELVES OUT WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF THEN ON... SO IT HAS BEEN IMPOSSIBLE TO DIAGNOSE BUT HAS MADE ME SUSCEPTIBLE TO BREAK DOWNS AND NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCES. THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES IN THIS CAR HAVE BEEN MANY AND QUITE EXPENSIVE...THE LATEST BILL WAS $750 & MOST LIKELY DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER DODGE PRODUCT. THOS IS AN UNRELIABLE VEHICLE THAT IS QUITE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE!

TAKATA RECALL CAR SHUTS DOWN WHEN JARRED OR QUICK STOP. ALSO GAS PEDAL SOMETIMES LAGS FOR POWER.
