I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START WITH THIS CAR. I BOUGHT THIS CAR AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. THE LATEST ISSUE ASIDE FROM THE CONSTANT BRAKES IT THE ELECTRICAL. SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T START, THE DASH LIGHTS COME ON AND OFF AND POWER DROPS AND COMES BACK ON IN THE CAR. THANK GOD IT HAS NOT TURNED OFF IN TRAFFIC. THERE HAS BEEN A NOISE FROM THE WHEELS FOREVER AND NOW ITS GETTING LOUDER. I WISH THAT DODGE WOULD FIX THESE ISSUES!! ALL ELECTRICAL SHOULD BE CHECK IMMEDIATELY IN THESE CARS BECAUSE AS I READ OTHERS ISSUES IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND IT SEEMS THEY ARE WAITING FOR REPORTS OF ACCIDENTS AND DEATH BEFORE TAKING ANY ACTION. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!! *TR

TRIED STARTING MY 2010 DODGE JOURNEY AFTER WORK ONE EVENING AND IT WOULDN'T START. GOT A BOOST TO MY BATTERY AND IT DIDN'T WORK, THE VEHICLE STALLED 3 TIMES IN ONE DAY. AFTER LOOKING ON LINE I SAW NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAS THE SAME ISSUE. CAME ACROSS THE SOLENOID CRANK STARTER FUSE REPLACED, AND TO MY SURPRISE THE ISSUE WAS FIXED UNTIL A WEEK. AT THE APPLE ORCHARD WITH A CAR FULL OF PEOPLE AND MY CAR WOULDN'T START! FINALLY GOT MY CAR TO AN AUTO PARTS STORE, AND THOUGHT POSSIBLY I HAD A BAD SENSOR AND GOT THAT REPLACED. MY CAR IS STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE, AND IT STARTS RIGHT AWAY IN THE A.M. EVERYDAY FOR A WEEK IN THE MORNINGS IT STARTS BUT STALLED AFTER I PICKED MY SON UP FROM SCHOOL AND WAS STUCK THERE FOR TWO HOURS! I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND ITS SAD HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE DEALING WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. AND I THOUGHT I WAS GETTING A GOOD RELIABLE CAR FOR MY FAMILY.. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FEBRUARY 2013, SOMEONE PLEASE HELP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, SHE NOTICED A LOUD SQUEAKING NOISE WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. THE FRONT AND REAR ROTORS, AND THE BRAKE PADS WERE REPLACED BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. ADDITIONALLY, THE CONTACT STATED THAT WATER WAS LEAKING FROM THE OVERHEAD VENT AND ONTO THE REAR SEATS. THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR ALSO COULD NOT BE LOCKED WITH THE KEY FOB, ONLY MANUALLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,240. *JS

ROTORS ARE WARPED CAUSING A SHAKING, WOBBLING STEERING WHEEL WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. SO FAR, 3 SETS OF ROTORS HAVE BEEN PUT ON THIS VEHICLE (1 FROM FACTORY AND 2 FOLLOW ON SETS BY DEALER DUE TO CONTINUAL FAILURE OF ROTORS...) THERE ARE ONLY 21000 MILES ON THIS JOURNEY AND IT WILL SOON NEED A 4TH SET OF ROTORS. THE PERSISTENCE OF ROTOR FAILURE MAKES IT HARD TO STEER THE CAR SAFELY AS THE STEERING WHEEL SHIMMIES VIOLENTLY WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. THE ROTOR FAILURES ARE ALSO CAUSING UNSAFE, PREMATURE AND UNEVEN WEAR ON THE TIRES. IN ALL, THE 2010 JOURNEY IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF THE CONSISTENT ROTOR FAILURES. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT DO DO.

ROY'S DODGE IN GRAND ISLAND, NE WOULD NOT COVER THE COST OF THE PREMATURE BRAKE AND ROTOR PROBLEM ON MY CAR. VEHICLE BEGIN HAVING METAL GRINDING NOISE FROM REAR BRAKE AREA AND THEN FRONT BRAKE AREA. VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. FIX FOR THE PROBLEMS WAS NEW FRONT AND REAR BRAKES AND TURN ROTORS. I HAD TOLD THEM I WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUES THEY HAVE BEEN HAVING AND ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS, HOWEVER IT GOT ME NOWHERE. I CONTACTED DODGE AND SPOKE WITH A VERY FRIENDLY LADY WHO RECOGNIZED THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND YEAR. SHE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND ASKED THEM TO WORK WITH MY ON TAKING CARE OF SOME OF THE REPAIR COSTS DUE TO ONLY HAVING 33,700 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND THIS BEING AN ISSUE. THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING TO HELP WITH THE COST. I WAS FORCED TO PAY TO REPLACE THE BRAKES AND ROTORS TOTALLY OUT OF POCKET ($488)! AFTER DOING MORE RESEARCH AND SPEAKING TO OTHER JOURNEY OWNERS I GUESS I SHOULD BE PREPARED TO DO THIS ALL OVER AGAIN IN 7000-9000 MORE MILES. DODGE NEEDS TO MAKE A RECALL AND MAKE THE SITUATION RIGHT WITH THEIR CUSTOMERS WHO SPENT A LOT OF MONEY ON THEIR PRODUCT!!! *TR

2010 DODGE JOURNEY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE BURST INTO FLAMES WHILE DRIVING AND CONSUMER SEEKS FINANCIAL COMPENSATION. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE, THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE.

ROTORS ON THESE VEHICLES ARE FAILING, CAUSING STEERING WHEEL TO SHAKE AND VEHICLE TO LEAVE LANE OF TRAVEL. DEALER REPLACED ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS. IN AUGUST 2013 VEHICLE STARTED DOING THE SAME THING. VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT BACK TO DEALER AND ROTORS WERE FAILING AGAIN. THE ROTORS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE DESIGNED TO SMALL FOR THE WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE AND IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT. *TR
