2010 DODGE JOURNEY Complaints

THREE TO FOUR DAYS PER WEEK THE CAR WILL NOT START. TURN THE KEY AND YOU GET NOTHING BUT A CLICK. I HAVE ONLY OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR 2 MONTHS AND IT HAS DONE IT SINCE THE VERY BEGINNING. HAVE HAD THE DEALERSHIP AND A PRIVATE MECHANIC LOOK IT OVER AND THEY HAVE FOUND NOTHING. IT SOUNDS VERY SIMILAR TO THE ISSUE BEING CORRECTED BY RECALL NOW. ALTHOUGH THIS VEHICLE, SO FAR, HAS NOT STALLED WHILE DRIVING THANK GOD. AM NOT HAPPY THAT MY "NEW TO ME" CAR IS SO UNRELIABLE.

TRIED TO START MY VEHICLE AND IT WOULD NOT START. IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER AT ALL. CHECKED THE BATTERY BUT THE BATTERY WAS FINE. HAD THE CAR TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP BUT IT THEN STARTED FINE AND AFTER AN INSPECTION, THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THIS HAS SINCE HAPPENED TWICE WHERE I WAS STRANDED WITH THE CAR RANDOMLY NOT STARTING. I HAVE HAD TO WAIT A PERIOD OF TIME FOR IT TO START. I CALLED DODGE CORPORATE (CHRYSLER) BUT THEY DID NOT SEEM TO HAVE ANY ANSWERS OR BE CONCERNED. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AT THIS POINT AS I WOULD HATE TO BE STRANDED SOMEWHERE WITH MY CAR NOT STARTING. *TR

SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WON'T START. IT IS IN THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN TODAY. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME IN THE PAST 2 MONTHS. DODGE CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT. THEY HAVE BEEN TRYING BUT TO NO AVAIL. WE HAVE FIGURED OUT IF YOU WIGGLE THE GEAR SHIFT THE CAR WILL START AFTER A LITTLE WHILE. HOPEFULLY DODGE WILL CHECK THE SENSORS IN THE GEAR SHIFT DURING THIS VISIT. IT IS GETTING OLD HAVING TO KEEP TAKING THE CAR BACK IN THE SHOP. DODGE HAS BEEN GREAT WITH WORKING WITH US BUT WE STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ENGINE LOSS POWER AND STALLED. ADDITIONALLY, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES AND ROTORS REQUIRED REPLACEMENT APPROXIMATELY EVERY TWO MONTHS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED THREE TIMES OR MORE PER WEEK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

CAR WAS PARKED AND I THOUGHT A NEIGHBOR WAS HONKING THEIR HORN FOR QUITE AWHILE, IT STOPPED, BUT A LITTLE WHILE AFTER THAT I WAS WALKING BY THE CAR AND IT JUST STARTED BEEPING. NOT SOLID BEEPING BUT LIKE IT WAS TRYING TO GET MY ATTENTION. ALSO THE CAR IS SLOW TO START (LIKE A DEAD BATTERY) BUT I JUST INSTALLED A NEW BATTERY AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN BANGING HARD SINCE THE FIRST DAY I GOT IT. I HAD IT IN A NUMBER OF TIMES FOR THE PROBLEM, BUT IT WOULD NOT DO IT WITH THEM IN THE CAR. *TR

I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEM WITH MY DOORS UNLOCKING. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE KEY-LESS REMOTE NEEDING A BATTERY OR THE CAR NEED A NEW BATTERY, CHANGED BOTH AND THAT WASN'T IT. THE ONLY DOOR THAT WOULD OPEN WAS THE DRIVER'S SIDE. SOMETIMES ALL THE DOOR WILL OPEN , THEN ONCE IT OPENS IT WILL NOT OPEN AGAIN UNTIL, MAYBE A WEEK FROM THEN, A MONTH. IT JUST OPENS WHEN IT WANTS. I HAVE TO LEAN OVER TO OPEN THE OTHER DOORS WHEN I GET IN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED ANOTHER COMPUTER MODULE, BUT THEY COUDLN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT SO THAT HAD TO BE THE PROBLEM. NO ONE HAS $600 FOR THAT TPN PART. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED ONTO. *TR

WHILE CAR IS RUNNING IT JUST STOPS. HAS DONE IT AT LEAST 10 TIMES ON FREEWAY AND ON SURFACE STREETS CAR JUST STOPS RUNNING. HAVE TO PUT IN NEUTRAL AND RE START IT. VERY DANGEROUS. VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE. HAVE TAKEN IT TO DEALER BUT THEY TELL ME THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH VEHICLE. *TR

OUR VEHICLE WORKED FINE AFTER PURCHASE UP UNTIL SOMETIME IN APRIL. THEN OUR HORN STARTED HONKING UNCONTROLLABLY FOR NO REASON. NOTHING I DID WOULD SHUT IT OFF SO I ENDED UP TAKING OUT THE FUSES UNTIL WE COULD GET IT FIXED. EVENTUALLY OUR BATTERY DIED FOR SEEMINGLY NO REASON AND WE HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED AS WELL AS TRY AND GET THE HORN FIXED. ORIGINALLY THE DEALERSHIP THOUGHT IT WAS ALL THE CAUSE OF THE BATTERY DYING BUT EVENTUALLY CONCEDED THAT IT WAS A WIRING PROBLEM. WE TOOK IT TO GET THAT FIXED AND WERE WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR A MONTH. WHEN THEY FINALLY FIXED AND RETURNED IT WAS FINE FOR ABOUT A WEEK BUT THEN THE HORN STARTED HONKING FOR NO REASON AGAIN. BY THE TIME THE TOW TRUCK GOT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IT HAD STOPPED AND THE MECHANICS COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE, HOWEVER NOW IT HAS STARTED AGAIN. I THEN HEARD ABOUT THE TIPM ISSUE WITH THE CHRYSLER MODELS AND IT SOUNDS AS THOUGH MY VEHICLE MAY BE SHOWING SIGNS OF THE SAME ISSUE. I WAS ADVISED TO MAKE A REPORT HERE. ANY INFORMATION ON HOW AND WHEN THIS WILL BE RECTIFIED WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR

HAVE A COMPLAINT ABOUT MY 2010 DODGE JOURNEY SE. FOR THE LAST TWO MONTHS IT HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE. I HAD THE STARTER REPLACED, THE WIN MODULE REPLACED. PROBLEM WENT AWAY FOR A FEW WEEKS. THEN CAME BACK. IT HAS BEEN NO STARTING ON AND OFF THE LAST TWO WEEKS. EVERYTHING ELSE WORKS WHEN I TURN THE IGNITION. BUT NOTHING HAPPENS WITH THE ENGINE. AUGUST 26TH, 2014 I WENT TO PICK MY SON UP FROM DAYCARE. MY CAR WOULDN'T START. IT WOULDN'T START ALL EVENING. THEN THE FOLLOWING DAY IT STARTED AND I HAD MY FIANCE TAKE IT BECAUSE I AM NERVOUS AND UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING MY CAR. AFTER MY FIANCE GOT OUT OF WORK THE CAR WOULDN'T START AND HE HAD TO LEAVE IT AT WORK. IT IS EFFECTING MY WORK AND MY PERSONAL LIFE. IT WAS SMOLDERING HOT OUT AND I WAS WITH MY SON. I CAN'T KEEP DOING THIS WITH MY CAR. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S A TIPM ISSUE, BUT I ALSO HAVE THE SUGGESTION THAT IT'S A FAULTY TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR AS WELL. PLEASE HELP ME. MY LOAN IS WORTH MORE THAN THE ACTUAL CAR. AND MY LAST OPTION IS TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP IN INWOOD, NY THAT HAS A BAD REPUTATION FOR FIXING THINGS THAT DON'T NEED TO BE FIXED. *TR

IGNITION KEY GOES INTO THE OFF POSITION WHICH DEPOWERS ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS, IE...RADIO, AIR/HEAT, SIGNALS, POWER WINDOWS, WIPERS, DASHBOARD. PROBLEM HAS BEEN CONTINUOUS EVERY SINCE RECALL ISSUE HAS BEEN SUPPOSEDLY FIXED BY DEALERSHIP AFTER SAFETY RECALL. SOMETIMES CAUSES CAR TO NOT START ON FIRST TRY, HAVE TO TRY 2-3 TIMES BEFORE CAR WILL ACTUALLY START BUT PROBLEM PERSIST WHILE DRIVING AT LEAST 1-2 TIMES EACH TIME I AM DRIVING MY VEHICLE. *TR
