2010 DODGE JOURNEY Complaints

THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED A NUMBER OF TIMES WHERE I AM DRIVING AND EVERYTHING JUST SHUTS OFF. THIS COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS CAR ACCIDENT. SPEED, HOW LONG THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN RUNNING DOES NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN MOTION ON THE FREE WAY, DOING THE SPEED LIMIT, DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, NO TRAFFIC. ALSO HAS SHUT OFF WAITING TO ENTER TRAFFIC SHORTLY AFTER LEAVING A PARKING LOT. AS OF YET THERE HAS NOT BEEN AN ACCIDENT, I JUST TRY AND MAKE SURE I AM IN THE LANE CLOSEST TO A SHOULDER EXPECTING THIS TO HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR (SINCE 12/2015).

WHILE DRIVING, A/C STOPPED WORKING, WINDOWS WOULD NOT WORK, RADIO AND CLOCK WOULD NOT WORK.

CAR HORN BEEPS WHILE SITTING TURNED OFF NO ONE IN CAR DAYTIME OR NIGHTTIME. ALSO BEEPS WITHOUT WARNING WHILE BEING DRIVEN. SOMETIMES SINGLE BEEP, SOMETIMES SEVERAL BEEPS AND SOMETIMES CONTINUOUS BEEPING.

I PURCHASED MY 2010 JOURNEY USED. 2 WEEKS INTO HAVING MY CAR ONE NIGHT THE HORN STARTED BLOWING NONSTOP. THE HORN BLOW FOR 5 HOURS STRAIGHT. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. A FEW DAYS THE CAR WOULDN'T START. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHANGED THE BATTERY AND IT WAS FINE FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS. AND THE HORN STARTED AGAIN AND THE CAR WOULDN'T START AGAIN AND THIS TIME THE KEY WAS STUCK INSIDE OF THE IGNITION. THE KEY WILL STAY STUCK IN THE IGNITION FOR 30 MINS BEFORE IT COMES OUT. THE DEALERSHIP HANDED ME A PIECE OF PAPER SAYING THAT THERE WAS A BULLETIN OUT FROM CHRYSLER ABOUT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BUT NO RECALL ON MY CAR. I HAVE BEEN STUCK OUT SO MANY TIMES WITH THIS CAR I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT. I HAD TO TAKE THE HORN FUSE OUT BECAUSE THE NOISE GETS TO MY NEIGHBORS AND NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO STOP IT. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED I HAVE A CAR THAT I CAN"T DEPEND ON AND ONE NO TO HELP ME FIGURE IT OUT.

VEHICLE'S HORN SOUNDS ON ITS OWN AT RANDOM TIMES - WHILE IN MOTION OR PARKED; RUNNING OR OFF. DODGE RESET TPIM (?) BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. NO CURRENT RECALL BUT IT SEEMS THERE SHOULD BE JUDGING BY THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS I HAVE FOUND THROUGH AN INTERNET SEARCH. VARIOUS SOLUTIONS SEEM TO HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTED JUDGING BY THE SEARCH RESULTS WITH NO SUCCESS. DANGEROUS (AND ANNOYING) PROBLEM THAT DODGE NEEDS TO FIGURE OUT.

CAR HONK RANDOMLY IF I DRIVE OR PARK. DEALERSHIP HEARED NEVER ABOUT THAT ISSUE, I ALMOST STARTED TO LAUGH OUT LOUD, IT'S WELL KNOWN IN THE WEB.
