2010 DODGE JOURNEY Complaints

TRANSMISSION SHIFTING IS ROUGH AND IT SCARES MY WIFE TO DRIVE THE CAR. IT HAS 68,000 MILES AND IS MAINTAINED REGULARLY. WE JUST PAID IT OFF AND NOW I FEAR SOMETHING MAJOR IS GOING TO FAIL. I READ AN ARTICLE THAT THERE IS A REPROGRAM OF THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE THAT FIXES THIS, BUT CANNOT FIND A TSB TO TAKE TO THE DEALER.

"TAKATA RECALL" ON 4/06/2016, MY KEYPAD WOULD NOT LOCK MY DOORS. ON 04/09/2016, IT BEGAN TO WORK AGAIN. AFTER STARTING MY ENGINE AND DRIVING MY CAR FOR 1 MINUTE, MY CAR STALLED ON ME. I PROCEEDED TO START MY VEHICLE AGAIN, ONLY FOR IT TO SHUT DOWN FOR THE SECOND TIME. AFTER MY VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY SHUT DOWN, EVERYTHING WENT COMPLETELY OUT. I COULD NOT LET MY WINDOWA DOWN, DOORS WOULD NOT LOCK NOR UNLOCK RADIO WILL NOT PLAY. WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD NOT WORK. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO JUMP START MY VEHICLE WITH A BOOST, SMOKE BEGIN TO APPEAR FROM UNDER THE HOOD NEAR THE BATTERY POSTS. I CONTACTED A DODGE DEALERSHIP IN MY AREA AND ARE CURRENTLY WAITING ON THE DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS. I WILL BE VISITING THE NHTSA SITE TODAY TO PROVIDE YOU WITH AN UPDATE.

"TAKATA RECALL" THE ENGINE WILL NOT START AT VARIOUS TIMES. AFTER ABOUT 10 TO 20 MINUTES IT WILL START. THE CAR HORN WILL BEEP WHILE THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND THERE IS NO KEY IN THE IGNITION. THIS ALL HAPPENS RANDOMLY. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY.

I WAS DRIVING ON A MAIN HIGHWAY AND THE CAR SHUT OFF AT 65 MPH MID DRIVE. I HAD TO TRY AND STEER THE CAR OFF THE ROAD, ALMOST CREATED 3 ACCIDENTS. FOUND THAT THE KEY FOB MOVED FROM POWER TO OFF.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

DRIVER SIDE FRONT WINDOW/LOCKS/MIRROR CONTROLS DON'T WORK. REAR WINDOW CONTROLS DO WORK ON DRIVER SIDE. LOCKS AND PASSENGER WINDOW CONTROLS WORK ON PASSENGER SIDE. ALL IS EXACTLY AS IN SAFETY RECALL K07-FRONT DOOR WIRING HARNESS (STOPPED WITH MODEL YEAR 2009) SO WHY IS MY EXACT PROBLEM (2010) SHARED BY SO MANY OTHER 2010S ON THE INTERNET, TOO? I AM FRUSTRATED. MECHANIC CANNOT FIND PROBLEM. CONSIDERING BUYING A NEW MASTER SWITCH FOR DRIVER DOOR-OTHERS SAY REPLACING IT DIDN'T WORK! IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM-SYMPTOMS EXACT AND TO THE "T"...RECALL WINDOW CUTOFF TOO SOON!!! WAS NOTIFIED OF IGNITION/KEY FOBICK RECALL, THANKFULLY! CAR OCCASIONALLY ALMOST DIES, CHUGS, AND KEEPS RUNNING. CAR STARTS AND RUNS GREAT-INTERMITTENT ALMOST DYING THING ALWAYS OUT OF THE BLUE! NOT NOTIFIED ABOUT HIGH PRESSURE POWER STEERING HOSE LEAKING PROBLEM-JUST PAID TO HAVE THAT REPLACED. POWER STEERING MAKES TERRIBLE NOISE WHEN TURNED TO RIGHT. SUSPENSION RATTLES LIKE A BOX OF BONES! WHAT NEXT? I'M GETTING THE SENSE THAT THIS VEHICLE ISN'T SAFE TO DRIVE (ESP. W/MY SON IN THE CAR)! DIAGNOSTICS AND REPAIR BILLS AND QUOTES REALLY STARTING TO STACK UP-THE MORE I LOOK INTO THIS 2010 DODGE JOURNEY REGARDING MY PROBLEMS, SEEING SO MANY OTHERS WITH SAME EXACT PROBLEMS-REALLY SURPRISED THAT THE RECALL LIST ISN'T MORE THAN IT IS! HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO LIVE THROUGH THE SAME POOR QUALITY ISSUES BEFORE THE MANUFACTURER TAKES CARE OF THESE SOMETIMES SEEMINGLY PANDEMIC PROBLEMS??? STARTED BEFORE 116,000 MILES - NOW 120,115 MILES.
