2015 DODGE JOURNEY Complaints

ON 7/26/17 I WAS DRIVING ON A LOCAL ROAD IN EASTCHESTER NY GOING UNDER 25 MPH WHEN THE HEADREST RESTRAINT DEPLOYED AND INJURED THE BACK OF MY HEAD. WENT TO ER AND NEED TO SEE A SPECIALIST FOR INJURY. CONTACTED DODGE/CHRYSLER AND WAS TREATED LIKE I WAS AT FAULT. LEASE DEALER STEPPED IN AND VERIFIED THERE WAS NO COLLISON. DODGE HAS AN ENGINEER SCHEDULED TO INSPECT IT 7/31/17. WAS TOLD TO GO THROUGH MY INSURANCE FOR INJURIES BUT THERE WAS NO COLLISION!! ALSO, WAS TOLD TO USE UBER. LEASE DEALERSHIP FINALLY GAVE ME A LOANER. YOUTUBE VIDEO LINK IN THIS MESSAGE OF CAR.

BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON FOLLOWED BY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THEN RECEIVED A MESSAGE SAYING BATTERY SAVER MODE. CAR FUNCTION SUCH AS REMOTE START AND RADIO WERE NOT WORKING. MY BATTERY WAS COMPLETELY DEAD AND REPLACED IT WITH A NEW ONE. 4 DAYS LATER, SAME PROBLEMS OCCURED. THIS TIME CAR SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS WAS VERY SCARY AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I HAVE BEEN HAVING SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR EVER SINCE MY FACTORY WARRANTY EXPIRED.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR OUT OF A DRIVE THROUGH AND WHEN I GOT TO WHERE I NEEDED TO TURN, MY ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF. CAR STARTED ROLLING ELECTRICAL WAS STILL ON (LIGHTS, ETC;) BUT THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN AT ALL. I HAD TO PUT IT IN PARK, TURN IT OFF AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON AGAIN. AFTER THAT, IT WORKED AGAIN. WHAT IF THIS HAPPENS TO ME GOING 80 ON THE INTERSTATE? I HAVE CHILDREN TO THINK ABOUT.

WHEN IN MOTION GOING AT VARIETY SPEEDS THE CAR STALLS MID MOVEMENT AND POWER STEERING STOPS. IT HAS HAPPENED AT STOPS AS WELL AS IN MOTION.

WHILE DRIVING ON BUSY INTERSECTION VEHICLE JUST SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN. STEERING WHEEL LOCKED THEREFORE I HAD NO CONTROL. ALMOST CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE AND MEDIAN. HAD TO WAIT FOR IT TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION TO BE ABLE TO RESTART IT.

TIRES HAVE HAD SEPARATION ISSUES ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS - STEERING WHEEL HARD TO HANDLE AND VEHICLE SHAKING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED BUT FAILED TO RESPOND. THE ABS INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A POLE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

ELTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT RANDOMLY COMES ON WHILE DRIVING AND FRONT PASSENGER HUB IS GOING OUT AT ONLY 30K MILES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER SIDE HEADREST AIR BAG DEPLOYED AFTER THE DOOR WAS CLOSED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LANDERS DODGE JEEP CHRYSLER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEADREST AIR BAG DEPLOYED AND NEEDED TO BE RESET DUE TO THE SRS SYSTEM ACTIVATING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 39,042.

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE I NOTICED THAT IT JERKED AS I DROVE. SEVERAL MONTHS AGO THE JERKING GOT A LITTLE WORSE BUT I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT IT WAS MY BRAKES. AS I WAS DRIVING THE OTHER DAY I FELT SEVERAL JERKS AND THEN THE CALL CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP WITH ALL OF THE POWER STILL BEING. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT. THE CAR STARTED UP PERFECTLY FINE AS I SHIFTED IT INTO DRIVE THE CAR STARTED SHAKING AGAIN AND SHUT DOWN. I DID THE SAME ROUTINE FOR SEVERAL TRIES AND EVERY TIME I PUT IT INTO EITHER DRIVE OR REVERSE THE CAR WOULD SHUT DOWN. IF I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL THE CAR WAS PERFECTLY BUT IF I PUT IT IN DRIVE OR RESERVE
