2010 DODGE JOURNEY Complaints

I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 29 GOING TO COLUMBIA MD IN A HEAVY RAINSTORM AND MY ELECTRIC SYSTEM IN MY TRUCK SHUT OFF, I COULD SEE BECAUSE THE EVERYTHING THAT NEEDED POWER JUST STOPPED WORKING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING BUT THE COMPUTER SYSTEM HAD SHUT OFF AND I HAD A CAR FULL OF KIDS. THIS SCARED US SO BAD , LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO EASE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE I TURNED THAT CAR OFF AND BACK ON TO CHECK IF THE ELECTRIC SYSTEM WOULD COME ON. IT DID BUT AS WE GOT OFF THE EXIT IT CUT OFF AGAIN.

BOUGHT 2010 DODGE JOURNEY (USED) FROM TOM WOOD FORD DEALERSHIP. I HAVE MADE 3 PAYMENTS. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START LEAVING ME STRANDED IN A PARKING LOT. I TRIED TO JUMP IT WITHOUT SUCCESS. WHEN I TURNED THE KEY TO JUMP IT, WHITE SMOKE CAME FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND THERE WAS A STRONG ODOR OF MELTING PLASTIC. I GRABBED MY KID AND BELONGINGS AND FLED THE VEHICLE. I HAD IT TOWED TO SHOP. THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. THE NEXT DAY IT STARTED ROUGH. I DROVE IT APPROXIMATELY 2 MILES TO A GAS STATION. IT WOULD NOT RESTART. HAD IT TOWED BACK TO SHOP FOR FURTHER EVALUATION. ALL LIGHTS, RADIO, POWER WINDOWS, ETC. ARE FUNCTIONING, STARTER MAKES CLICKING SOUND, ALTERNATOR CHECKED OUT OK, NEW BATTERY INSTALLED, BUT IT WILL NOT START. MILEAGE IS 81,759. *TR

THE HORN BEEPS RANDOMLY. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE RIGHT BEFORE A THUNDERSTORM HITS OR WHEN A STORM IS IN THE AREA. ALSO THE CAR SOMETIMES WON'T START. THE STARTING PROBLEM HAS BEEN AN ON GOING PROBLEM SINCE THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNER SHIP. I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND HAVE HAD THE CAR IN FOR ALL OF THE RECALLS INCLUDING THE FOB REPLACEMENT. I FEEL THIS CAR IS A LEMON AND WISH I HAD NEVER PURCHASED IT. MY PLYMOUTH VOYAGER WAS A VERY DEPENDABLE CAR AND I WAS EXPECTING THE SAME FROM THE JOURNEY BUT THAT HAS NOT BEEN THE CASE WITH THIS CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HORN RANDOMLY BEEPED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TWO DIFFERENT LOCAL DEALERS WHO WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

TAKATA RECALL WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP LIGHT THE CAR LOCKED THE STEERING AND BREAKS. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS UNABLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND ENDED UP GOING HALFWAY THROUGH THE LIGHT. I TURNED THE CAR OFF THEN BACK ON. IT WAS FINE. ABOUT A MONTH LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED AS WE WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. WE HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE STEERING OR BREAKS. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO OPEN RECALL SO THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT FOR FREE. I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR TWO MONTHS AGO.

MY LIGHTS ARE VERY DIM ON THE INSIDE OF THE CAR AND MY FOB JUST STOP WORKING I HAVE WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE THE BATTERIES HOWEVER IT STILL DOES NOT WORK. MY DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER DOOR IS NO LONGER HOOKED UP TO THE FOB OR THE DOOR UNLOCK/LOCK BUTTON) YOU DO IT MANUALLY

WE PURCHASED OUR JOURNEY IN 2010, AS ORIGINAL OWNERS. AT ABOUT 10K MILES WE EXPERIENCED SLIGHT SHAKING WHILE APPLYING BREAKS ON THE HIGHWAY. WE TOOK OUR VEHICLE TO DODGE SERVICE AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE ROTORS. WE DRIVE OUR CAR VERY CONSERVATIVELY AND NOW IN 2016 WE HAVE 36K MILES. OUR CAR STARTED EXPERIENCING THE SAME SYMPTOMS. WE TOOK THE CAR TO DODGE SERVICE, WHICH CONFIRMED EXTREME ROTOR WEAR AND EVEN COMMENTED THAT IT WAS PREMATURE WEAR. I CONTACTED DODGE AND THEY REFUSED TO REPLACE ANY PARTS. IN ADDITION, WE RECENTLY (2016) ARE EXPERIENCING RANDOM HORN HONKING. THIS IS INDEED A SAFETY ISSUE AS PROPER HORN FUNCTION IS A REQUIREMENT FOR VEHICLE REGISTRATION.
