2010 DODGE JOURNEY Complaints

CAR WILL NOT START. JUST CLICKING NOISE IN GEAR SHIFTER AND NEAR GLOVE BOX. AFTER ABOUT 50 TIMES TRYING THEN VEHICLE STARTS AND IS FINE UNTIL NEXT TIME WHICH MAY BE WEEKS, MONTHS OR DAYS.

MY 2010 DODGE JOURNEY'S ENGINE STALLS AND I HAVE NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES WHILE I AM DRIVING. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED FIRST IN NOV. 2015 WITH AROUND 68000 MILES ON VEHICLE AND THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE OR CAUSED BY BAD WEATHER. IT STARTED TO HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES AGAIN MARCH/APRIL 2016. DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. TOOK IT BACK IN TO DEALERSHIP IN JUNE 2016, STILL COULD NOT FIND ISSUE. CONTINUED TO HAPPEN AND TOOK IT IN SEPTEMBER FOR THAT AND OTHER ISSUES (HORN GOING OFF RANDOMLY AND BATTERY DRAINING OVERNIGHT). NOW DEC 2016 AND THE CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING 3 TIMES THIS WEEK AND THE LAST TIME SOMEONE ALMOST REAR ENDED ME BECAUSE OF IT. MY LIFE AND MY CHILDREN'S LIFE ARE AT STAKE. IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED WHEN I AM GOING UNDER 45MPH AT THIS POINT AND ON SOME OCCASIONS IT IS WHILE I AM SLOWING DOWN TO TURN IN A PARKING SPACE BUT SOMETIMES IT IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD DRIVING. IT HAS HAPPENED IN THE MORNING/AFTERNOON/EVENING, RAIN, SNOW AND SUNSHINE, HOT AND COLD DAYS. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERYDAY WHICH MAKES THIS ISSUE EVEN WORSE I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL OCCUR. THE ONLY ISSUE THAT REMAINS THE SAME IS THAT MY TRACTION SYSTEM LIGHT COMES ON 90% OF THE TIME THIS OCCURS. I HAVE TOLD THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP EVERY TIME AND THEY STILL CANNOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I AM EXTREMELY UPSET AND HAVE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FILED WITH CHRYSLER/DODGE HEADQUARTERS. *TR

ROUGHLY 3 WEEKS AGO, I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND MY HEADLIGHTS WOULD NOT COME ON. WHEN I MADE IT HOME, I TRIED TURNING THE LIGHTS OFF AND ON. THEY WOULD POP ON FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN GO RIGHT BACK OUT. AFTER A DAY OR TWO, ,Y SON CAME OVER AND CHANGED THE BULBS FOR THE HEADLIGHTS. THEY WORKED FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS. LAST NIGHT THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. NO HEAD LIGHTS. IF YOU LEAVE THE LIGHTS IN THE ON POSITION, THEY WILL FLASH ON AND OFF AT VARIOUS TIMES. *TR

CAR ENGINE STALLS WHEN BRAKING, SLOWING DOWN AND ALSO STOPPING AT STOP SIGNS. RANDOMLY OCCURS OFTEN

AFTER CAR SITS OVER NIGHT CAR IS STARTED AND DROVE LESS THEN 5 MINUTES AND CAR WILL SHUT OFF WITH OUT CAUSE. LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. CAR HAS TO PLACED IN NEUTRAL AND RESTARTED. WILL CRANK OVER ABOUT 6 TIMES A SMALL THEN RESTART. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW FAST OR SLOW YOU ARE GOING IT WILL SHUT OFF.

NO HEAT FROM PASSENGER SIDE VENTS ON ANY SETTING, WHETHER DRIVING OR STATIONARY. AS A RESULT, DEFROST PERFORMANCE DOES NOT MEET FMVSS 103. FLUSHED HEATER CORE AND A LOT OF DEBRIS CAME OUT AND HEAT WORKED ON BOTH SIDES. NUMEROUS SIMILAR CASES HAVE BEEN REPORTED ONLINE. ATTACHED IMAGE IS OF SEDIMENT THAT CAME OUT DURING FLUSH. *TR

THE BRAKING SYSTEM HAS BEEN A SERIOUS PROBLEM FROM THE FIRST MONTH OF MY PURCHASE.CAR WAS PURCHASED IN 2011, ROTORS & PADS FRONT REPLACED. EVERY YEAR I REPLACE ROTORS, PADS CALIPERS, EVEN THE MASTER CYLANDER. RECENTLY AN ENTIRE TEAM OF MACHANICS WORKED SEVERAL HOURS ON THE CAR, ALL WERE FRUSTRATED THAT THEY COULD NOT CORRECT THE BRAKE PROBLEMS. SAID THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE IN THEIR EXPERIENCE. COST ME $1000.00! ANOTHER PROBLEM SHOWING UP IS THE CAR JUST SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS , AFTER THE KEY WAS RECALLED AND REPLACED. THIS HAS JUST HAPPENED TWICE.

INTERMITTENT NON-FUNCTION OF POWER WINDOWS, INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS CANNOT BE ACTIVATED OR CONTROLLED WITH STEERING COLUMN CONTROLS, REAR WIPER WASHER MOTOR ACTIVATES WHEN REAR WIPER IS TURNED ON, BUT TURNS OFF WHEN THE CONTROLS ARE ADVANCED TO THE SPRAY FUNCTION. KEYLESS UNLOCK INTERMITTENTLY NON-FUNCTIONAL. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS DIAGNOSED AS A FAULTY TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIMP). UNFORTUNATELY THE JOURNEY WAS OMITTED FROM THE TIMP RECALL CAMPAIGN LEAVING THE CUSTOMER ON THE HOOK FOR THE REPAIRS. THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE RECALL LIST AS IT POSES A SAFETY RISK OF LACK OF WIPERS AND OTHER POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUES WHILE DRIVING.

WHILE VEHICLE IS PARKED IN APARTMENT COMPLEX PARKING LOT, FACTORY ALARM KEEPS GOING OFF. IN ORDER FOR IT TO STOP FUSES HAD TO BE TAKEN OUT.
