2015 DODGE JOURNEY Complaints

I WILL BE DRIVING AND THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF WITH OUT WARNING. WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF SOMETIMES IT WILL START BACK UP. DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR WITH OUT 2 YEAR OLD SON. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES

I HAVE A 2015 DODGE JOURNEY THAT HAS HAD MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH IT. BEFORE THE CAR WAS EVEN A YEAR OLD IT WAS TAKING INTO THE SHOP FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF ON ME WHILE DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION WHILE I WAS TURNING LEFT. THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. AT THAT POINT, THE SERVICE WAS ESCALATED TO A HIGHER DEPARTMENT AND A HIGH LEVEL REPAIR PERSON WAS BROUGHT IN. LESS THAN 15,000 MILES LATER, THE CAR BEGAN HEAVILY SHAKING EVERY TIME IT WAS DRIVEN. THE FIND WAS THAT THERE WAS A MISSING BOLT IN THE TIE ROD. THE SERVICE MAN SAID THERE WAS NO REASONABLE EXCUSE THAT COULD EXPLAIN HOW THIS WOULD EVEN OCCUR. TODAY, THE CAR IS IN THE SHOP FOR THE SECOND TIME IN THREE DAYS. INITIALLY FOR THE BATTER LIGHT COMING ON WHILE DRIVING. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A LOOSE WIRE AND SOME CORROSION ON THE BATTER BUT THAT IT WAS REPAIRED. LESS THAN 24 HOURS LATER THEN LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN WHILE DRIVING THIS TIME WITH THE WARNING ON THE PANEL THAT READ BATTERY SAVING MODE. I IMMEDIATELY RETURNED THE CAR TO THE SHOP. WAITED ALL DAY YESTERDAY ONLY TO BE GIVEN THE SAME EXPLANATION THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY GIVEN. UPON FURTHER PROBING I DISCOVER THE CAR HAD NEVER EVEN BEEN RE INSPECTED. THE CAR CONTINUES TO BE IN THE SHOP HAS HAS BEEN UNDRIVABLE FOR 4 DAYS NOW. I HAVE A 6 YEAR OLD SONE WHO IS TRANSPORTED IN THE VEHICLE DAILY. I'M BEGINNING TO FEAR FOR HIS SAFETY IN THE CAR GIVEN ITS HISTORY AND WILL NO LONGER PLACE HIM IN HARMS WAY BY DRIVING IN THIS CAR. THE UNBELIEVABLE SERIOUS PROBLEMS THAT HAVE OCCURRED WITH THIS VEHICLE ARE ALARMING. ESPECIALLY, GIVEN THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO CLEAR EXPLANATION AS TO WHY THE ISSUES ARE ARISING. THESE ARE NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR COMPLICATIONS. THESE ARE SERIOUS MANUFACTURING ISSUES.

1. THE DRIVER SEAT BELT DOES NOT STAY LOCKED IN. PERIODICALLY I WOULD PUT THE SEATBELTS ON AND IT WILL UNBUCKLE AS IF IT WASN'T SECURED IN. I HEARD IT CLICK. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. LUCKILY I WAS NOT MOVING AT THE TIME. 2. I RECEIVED AN TUNE UP AT APPROXIMATELY 95K MILES. ONE IF THE PISTONS WAS MISFIRING. I BELIEVE THE 6TH ONE WAS. BRAND NEW PARTS AND WAS INSTALLED BY A PROFESSIONAL MECHANIC. THERE IS A KNOCKING NOISE THAT WILL NOT GO AWAY. THE BELTS HAVE BEEN CHECKED. 3. WHILE OUT OF TOWN I WAS PARKING AND WHILE IN REVERSE IT BECAME HARD TO TURN. I LATER FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS NO FLUID IN THE POWERSTEERING. THERE WAS A LOW FLUID INDICATION. .I IMMEDIATELY FILLED THE CAR UP WILL POWER STEERING FLUID. SINCE THEN IT HAS BEEN HARDER TO TURN MY WHEEL. IT STARTED OFF I COULD NOT TURN RIGHT WITHOUT A STRUGGLE. THEN IT WAS THE LEFT SIDE . THE ONLY WAY TO TURN IS TO ACCELERATE AND TURN. THIS CAME OUT OF NOWHERE. THE AGGRESSIVE PROGRESS IN THE LOSS IF STEERING ABILITY IS TROUBLING ESPECIALLY WITH SMALLER CHILDREN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE JOURNEY EQUIPPED WITH KUMHO SOLUS KH16 TIRES, SIZE: P225/65 R17. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO EXECUTIVE DODGE JEEP (406 S ORCHARD ST, WALLINGFORD, CT 06492, (203) 599-0470) FOR A TIRE ROTATION AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR TIRES WERE WEARING UNEVENLY AND AN ALIGNMENT WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE TIRE AND VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000.

DRIVER SIDE CONTINUES TO BLOW HOT AIR WHILE THE PASSENGER BLOWS COOL AIR WHILE THE A/C IS RUNNING. TOLD IT WAS THE BLEND DOOR MOTOR AND GOT IT FIXED. A FEW DAYS LATER, THE SOME PROBLEM BEGAN AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V332000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER (SANGO CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 201 SGT PRENTISS DR., NATCHEZ, MS 39120, (877) 304-7831) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

THE ABS WARNING LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED, BUT THERE IS NO TROUBLE CODES. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ALERT, ABOUT THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY OF SUCH I FOUND ONLINE.

DODGE RECALL R61 WELL I HAVE A 2015 DODGE JOURNEY AND I WAS HAVING TORQUE CONVERTER PROBLEMS IN WHICH THE DEALER COVERED BUT WHILE THEY WERE IN THERE THEY ALSO DISCOVERED THERE WAS AN ENGINE WIRING HARNESS IN WHICH WATER LEAKED ON FROM A MANUFACTURER MADE HOLE WHICH HAD A SCREW THAT GOT LOSE AND CORRODED MY WIRES WHICH CONTROLLED THE ABS DASH COMPONENTS LIGHTS REFERENCING TO RECALL # R61.. I'M SURE THAT THIS VEHICLE AND MAYBE OTHERS HAVE BEEN AFFECTED OUTSIDE OF WHICH THEY CLAIM. I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY MY CAR WASN'T RECALLED ON THIS MATTER?! WHEN THE PROBLEM IS IDENTICAL TO RECALL R61 ... PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME.. IT'S REALLY ASHAMED THAT ONLY SOME CARS ARE GETTING FIXED AND OTHERS ARE OUT $2000 AND MORE BECAUSE OF DATES I WHICH I KNOW NOT ABOUT BUT PROBLEMS ARE IDENTICAL.. I FEEL THIS IS VITAL FOR INVESTIGATION FOR THE SAFETY AND WELL BEING OF DODGE CUSTOMERS. I'M JUST GLAD I CAUGHT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE ANYTHING SERIOUS HAPPENED AS THEY CLAIM COULD WHILE MY KIDS WAS IN THE VEHICLE. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😭😭😭😭😭😭 PLS HELP GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS.

STEERING SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE POWER STEERING PUMP WAS OUT. A FEW DAYS LATER THEY CALLED (CAR WAS STILL AT THE SHOP) AND SAID THAT THE PUMP GOING OUT CAUSED A RUPTURE IN THE RACK AND PINION.

VEHICLE STALLS AFTER COMING TO STOP AND ATTEMPTING TO RESUME. IT STARTS BACK UP AFTER BEING PUT INTO PARK AND PUSHING IGNITION BUTTON.
