2010 DODGE JOURNEY Complaints

IN FEBRUARY 2017, VEHICLE STARTED RANDOMLY HONKING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT PARKED (OFF) IN THE GARAGE AND WENT OFF INTERMITTENTLY FOR SEVERAL OURS. HAD TO PULL THE FUSE TO GET THE HORN TO STOP HONKING. TOOK TO MECHANIC FIRST TIME (THE COULDN'T REPLICATE ISSUE) AND HAD CAR BATTERY REPLACED- GOT HOME 1 HOUR LATER AND IT STARTED AGAIN. TOOK INTO DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUE EITHER BUT REPLACED THE KEY FOB BATTERIES AND SEEMED TO WORK FOR A DAY. STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN. TOOK IT IN FOR THE 3RD TIME (IN A MONTH) AND HAD HORN WIRING HARNESS REPLACED. LASTED 3 WEEKS AND NOW ITS IN THE SHOP AGAIN FOR THE 4TH TIME AND STILL CANNOT DETERMINE WHAT THE ROOT CAUSE IS AS THEY CLAIM ITS NOT THROWING OUT ANY "CODES" TO SHOW WHAT'S WRONG. DEALERSHIP HAS CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THE AREN'T SURE WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT EITHER.. HELP!!

2015 (JUNE) THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOT WERE REPLACED <40000 MILES - HAD VEHICLE CHECKED OUT IN FEB. 2017 BEFORE A LONG TRIP - WAS TOLD OK - WENT TO FLORIDA (1500 MILES FROM HOME) ESP/BAS LIGHT CAME ON - CALLED HOME DEALERSHIP - WAS TOLD OK TO DRIVE BUT TO HAVE CHECKED OUT - TOOK TO DEALERSHIP IN ST. PETERSBURG, FL - BRAKING SYSTEM REPLACED - TODAY (APRIL 1, 2017 - EAS/BAS, BRAKE AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ARE ALL BACK ON AGAIN - THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD A BRAKE LIGHT ISSUE SINCE JUNE 2015. TIRED OF SPENDING MONEY OVER AND OVER AGAIN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM WITH NO RESOLUTION. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED 14 TIMES ACCORDING TO DODGE CORPORATE OFFICE SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED IN APRIL 2010

VEHICLE HAS INTERMITTENT ISSUE WITH STARTING ONCE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TURNED OFF. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT 8 MONTHS, I HAVE CHANGED THE STARTER, ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY. THE VEHICLE HAS HAS A ELECTRICAL GROUND PLACED FROM THE NEGATIVE TERMINAL TO THE ENGINE BLOCK AND STILL HAS ISSUES WILL STARTING.

I HAVE HAD THE ROTORS, PADS, CALIPERS, AND MASTER CYLINDER REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST 7 YEARS, MORE THAN ANY OTHER VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED IN MY 45 YEAR LIFETIME. I HAVE HAD ALL OF MY CAR'S REPAIRS DONE THROUGH SEARS SO THE BRAKES ARE WARRANTIED. I HAD THE MASTER CYLINDER REPLACED IN DEC. 2016 AND NOW HAVING TO TURN AROUND AND HAVING TO REPLACE THEM AGAIN.

GAS CAP INDICATOR - MESSAGE APPEARS ON DASH STATING THAT GAS CAP IS AN ISSUE. I HAVE PURCHASED TWO GAS CAPS AFTER REPLACING THE ORIGINAL GAS CAP AND STILL HAVING ISSUES. THIS OCCURS WHILE DRIVING. STALL - RELATED TO THE GAS CAP ISSUE MY VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING FINALLY SHUTTING OFF AND LOSING POWER.

HORN ACTIVATES ON ITS OWN AND INTERMITTENTLY. THIS OCCURS WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE STATIONARY AND OFF. TURN SIGNAL - WHEN RIGHT SIGNAL IS ENGAGED THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHT TURNS ON. THIS OCCURS ONLY WHILE DRIVING. AIR BAG DASH WARNING LIGHT STAYS LIT ON DASH AND MAKES A "BING" SOUND THIS OCCURS ONLY WHILE DRIVING. IT TURNS ON AND OFF ONLY WHILE DRIVING. WINDOW SWITCH - DRIVER SIDE WINDOW SWITCH FUNCTIONS INTERMITTENTLY. THIS OCCURS WHILE IN MOTION AND STATIONARY.

CAR "FROZE"WHILE DRIVING. ALARM STARTED GOING OFF. WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WASHER FLUID AND ALARM KEPT GOING THOUGH I PULLED OVER AND SHUT OFF CARD. SUDDENLY IT STOPPED. TURNED CAR BACK ON, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON THEN TURNED OFF. NOW DOOR LOCKS DON'T WORK, BACK HATCH WON'T OPEN. WASHER FLUID IS LOW. KEY FOB DOES NOT WORK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WHILE MAKING A TURN. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN DRAINED OF THE STEERING FLUID. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000.

THE HORN BLOWS INTERMITTENTLY BOTH WHILE DRIVING & WHEN OFF & PARKED. THIS HAS STARTLED DRIVERS & PEDESTRIANS. IT HAS ALSO AWOKEN MY NEIGHBORS AT 3:00AM. I SEE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON LINE BUT MY DODGE DEALER IS NOT AWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS.

THE ALARM SYSTEM GOES OFF BY ITSELF. THE LIGHTS FLASH AND THE HORN BLOWS WHILE THE CAR IS OFF. IT CAN BE AT DIFFERENT TIMES OF THE DAY.
