2010 DODGE JOURNEY Complaints

THE HORN RANDOMLY HONKS WITHOUT PUSHING THE HORN BUTTON. THIS HAPPEN BOTH WHILE SITTING UNATTENDED AS WELL AS WHILE DRIVING. VERY DISTRACTING TO BOTH DRIVER AND OTHERS DRIVING NEAR BY. WE HAD TO PULL THE FUSE'S DISABLING THE HORN TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR. DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO RESOLVE. IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AS YOU CAN FIND VIDEOS ONLINE OF THE MAKE AND MODEL DOING THE EXACT SAME THING OUR CAR DOES. WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL ON THIS UNSAFE CONDITION?

SEVERAL INSTANCES OF DRIVING ALONG AND THE CAR JUST SHUTS OFF. WHEN THE CAR SHUTS OFF YOU LOOSE POWER STEERING. BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED IN 2015 AND IT HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR. NOW IN 2016 THERE ARE AT LEAST 20 TIMES THAT I CAN COUNT. I KNOW THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS IN THE 2010 JOURNEYS BUT MINE IS NOT INCLUDED IN IT BY VIN #. I AM WONDERING IF THE TIME FRAME ON THIS ISSUE DOESN'T NEED TO GO WIDER OUT TO CATCH MORE.

BREAKS HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT LEAST EVERY 2 MONTHS. MY CAR CONTINUES TO OVERHEAT AND WE HAVE THE THERMOSTAT 5 DIFFERENT TIMES. WE HAVE TO KEEP TURNING THE KEY OFF AND ON TIL THE CAR DECIDES TO START. I HAVE CONTACTED THE PEOPLE ABOUT THIS AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME THAT THERE IS NO RECALL FOR MY VIN NUMBER. IT NEEDS TO BE ADDED BECAUSE IT IS OBVIOUSLY AN ISSUE WITH MORE THAN JUST MY CAR. I WILL CONTACT AN ATTORNEY BECAUSE NOW THAT IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY THEY TELL ME I WILL HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THE ISSUES RESOLVED THE START ISSUE IS OF COURSE STATIONARY THE BREAK PROBLEM IS WHILE DRIVING AND SO IS THE OVER HEATING ISSUE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD HEARD A SCRAPING NOISE AND THE FRONT BUMPER WAS TALKING OFF AND THE BUMPER BAR WAS LOOSE. THESE ARE APPARENTLY VERY DANGEROUS CARS AND ALL SHOULD BE RECALLED

POWER SUPPLY TO TIPM BECOMING HOT AND MELTING TIPM HOUSING SURROUNDING CONNECTION. RANDOM HORN HONKING, REMOTE START DOESN'T WORK, CLICKING FROM TIPM, DRAW FROM TIPM DRAINING BATTERY WHEN VEHICLE NOT RUNNING(OVERNIGHT). NO REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE.

THE HORN/ALARM WILL SOUND RANDOMLY AND FOR NO APPARENT REASON, OFTEN GOING DOWN THE ROAD OR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. THE KEYFOB WILL LODGE IN AND THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS "DEAD". REPLACED BATTERY THINKING IT WAS BATTERY ISSUE. ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS "DEAD" EVERY FEW DAYS. THERE IS A STRANGE DRAG/CLICK SOUND WHEN TURNING WHEEL. MANY OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT ARE BIZARRE AND COMPLETELY RANDOM. AT TIMES YOU HAVE TO START, KILL, RESTART ENGINE AND FINALLY WILL GO IN GEAR. I KEEP CHECKING FOR RECALLS AS THIS APPEARS, THROUGH MULTIPLE POSTS I HAVE READ, TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR MODEL. I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP TAKING TO DEALERSHIPS FOR ISSUES THAT CLEARLY ARE RELATED TO THE MANUFACTURING OF THE VEHICLE.
