2015 DODGE JOURNEY Complaints

WHEN ACCELERATING VEHICLE PULLS MORE ONE WAY (RIGHT). WHEN AT STEADY SPEED VEHICLE HOLDS DIRECTION BUT IF GETTING ON THE FREEWAY OR ACCELERATING AFTER STOPPING, I HAVE TO STRONGLY CORRECT THE VEHICLE'S DIRECTION. CONCERNED THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF BRAKES NOT FULLY RELEASING AFTER STOPPING AND IS ONLY NOTICEABLE BECAUSE OF THE SPEED (ENTERING THE FREEWAY) OR FULL STOP WAS MADE.

WHILE DRIVING (IN MOTION) ON THE HIGHWAY, STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AS IF THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK, AND THE ENGINE WAS OFF. I HAD JUST 5 MILES PREVIOUSLY TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAD TO COME TO A STOP, PLACE VEHICLE IN PARK AND TURN THE CAR OFF. ONCE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL...*BF.. CONSUMER STATED DEALERSHIP WILL BE REPLACING THE STEERING GEAR,RACK,AND MODULE. *JB

ABS RECALL, MY DODGE JOURNEY FITS THE SAME DESCRIPTION FOR AN ABS RECALL, HOWEVER MY VIN NUMBER DOESN'T SAY THAT IT IS AFFECTED. I AM OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY SO THE DEALERSHIP WON'T TOUCH IT. DISPLEASED MAJORLY!!

THE ENGINE TURNS OFF DURING OPERATION WITH NO WARNING. STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND BRAKES ARE HARD TO APPLY. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO WARN OF A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. PROBLEM IS RANDOM AND IS HAPPENING DURING VEHICLE OPERATION AND MAY CAUSE ACCIDENT IF ON THE HIGHWAY.

MY DODGE JOURNEY HAS LESS THAN 70,000 MILES ON IT. AT THIS POINT THE ENTIRE REAR DRIVE SHAFT AND ALL MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION MOUNTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. THEY WERE ALL SEVERELY DAMAGED. TIRES SHOW SIGNIFICANT WEAR EVEN THOUGH VEHICLE IS WITHIN ALIGNMENT STANDARDS. THE FAR LEFT VENT (DRIVER'S SIDE) BLOWS COOL AIR, BUT THE OTHER THREE FRONT VENTS ARE BLOWING HEAT. THERE IS A SEVERE, LOUD ROARING SOUND THAT HAS YET TO BE DIAGNOSED. THIS IS A RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF PROBLEMS IN SUCH A SHORT TIME OF VEHICLE USAGE.

MY CAR HAS 64,000 MILES ON IT AND THE ABS LIGHT, TRACTION LIGHT, BRAKE LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT ON FRIDAY TO GET IT DIAGNOSED. AT 32,000 MILES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON UPON STARTING AND MY CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER 30 MILES PER HOUR. A FUEL INJECTOR SENSOR WENT OUT.

THE VEHICLE WILL LOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND SIMULTANEOUSLY THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ACTIVATES FOLLOWED BY THE CAR LAUNCHING FORWARD AND THE SERVICE AWD AND ABS LIGHTS ACTIVATING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A CHRYSLER GARAGE WHICH DUPLICATED THE PROBLEM AND SAW THE FAULTS IN THE COMPUTER. HOWEVER THE GARAGE WAS UNABLE TO FORMULATE A SOLUTION. THEY STATED THEY CHECKED ALL THE CONNECTIONS AND RAN THE VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY 160 MILES WITHOUT ANY ADDITIONAL OCCURRENCES AND RELEASED THE VEHICLE WITHOUT ANY FURTHER REPAIR. 4 DAYS LATER AND APPROXIMATELY 150 MILES THE PROBLEM RECURRED IN A PARKING LOT WHILE BACKING UP WITH THE LIGHTS ACTIVATING IN THE SAME SEQUENCE.

I HAVE HAD TWO HEAD REST AIR BAGS DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON AND WITHOUT WARNING. FIRST IT WAS THE DRIVER SEAT IN WICH DODGE REPLACED AFTER WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED NOW THE PASSENGER SEAT HEAD REST AIR BAG HAS DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON AND DODGE IS REFUSING TO REPLACE THIS ONE. DODGE WAS UNABLE TO TELL ME IF THESE AIR BAGS WERE MADE BY THE TAKATA COMPANY. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPEN MY WIFE HAD JUST PULLED INTO THE GARAGE AND WAS SETTING IN THE CAR TALKING ON THE PHONE WHEN IT DEPLOYED HITTING HER IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD. THE SECOND TIME THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS NOTICE DEPLOYED WHILE GETTING IN THE CAR IN THE GARAGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE SHIFTED TO THE LEFT AND THE CHECK ENGINE, BRAKE, AND ABS WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TAKEN TO FIVE STAR CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM MACON (3068 RIVERSIDE RD, MACON, GA 31210, (478) 287-1907), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,244.

I HAD MY VEHICLE FOR A YEAR AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY VEHICLE WILL NOT STEER CORRECTLY. IT WONT TURN RIGHT AT ALL IT JUST GOES STRAIGHT. I FEEL THE SAFETY FOR MY CHILDREN AND I ARE AT RISK. SOMETHING ABOUT A RACK & PINION NOT WORKING DUE TO POWER STEERING FAILURE.
