SINCE WE PURCHASED OUR DODGE JOURNEY IT'S BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WE OWN A 2010 JOURNEY. WE'VE HAD TO REPLACE BRAKES AND ROTORS, STEERING MAKES A VERY LOUD NOISE WHEN TURNING ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE ELECTRICITY AND MY VEHICLE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE I WITNESS THE SAME PROBLEM WITH ANOTHER PERSONS CAR SAME DODGE JOURNEY WE ALWAYS GET OUR CAR THE NECESSARY OIL CHANGES AND MY ENGINE MAKES A VERY FUNNY NOISE EVEN OUR MECHANIC WAS WORRIED HE TOLD US THAT OUR CAR IS STILL NEW THAT MY ENGINE HAS TO BE LEAKING BECAUSE EVERYTIME WE GET OUR ROUTINE OIL CHANGES IT SEEMS LIKE THE CAR IS LOW ON OIL. ALSO WHEN I START DRIVING AWAY IT LOSES SPEED AND MAKE A VERY UGLY SOUND. THIS IS BY FAR THE WORST INVESTMENT EVER DO NOT THROW YOUR MONEY AWAY ON ANYTHING DODGE OR CHRYSLER GARBAGE EXPENSIVE GARBAGE THEN WHEN YOU CALL THEM UP THEY SAY THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I THINK THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE MORE STRICT ON THESE KIND OF THINGS THIS IS OUR MONEY HERE WE PAY TAXES ON THESE CAR MORE SHOULD BE DONE TO PROTECT THE CONSUMER. *TR

EVERYTHING FIRST STARTED ABOUT 4 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE WITH THE SENSOR LIGHTS RANDOMLY COMING ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I HAVE REPLACED BRAKES AND ROTORS 4 TIMES. BUT THE PROBLEMS WITHIN THE LAST 4 MONTHS HAVE BEEN THE WORST. MY CAR WILL NOT START ALL THE TIME VERY UNRELIABLE. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE STARTER TWICE THE BATTERY TWO STARTER MODULES AND THE IGNITION AND STILL DOESN'T WORK. AS SOON AS IT'S POSSIBLE I WILL GET RID OF THIS CAR AND NEVER AGAIN AS LONG AS I LIVE WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT. THEY ARE JUNK!!!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING WITH THE CURSE CONTROL ACTIVATED, THE RPMS AND SPEED WOULD INCREASE WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING DOWNHILL. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE RPM READING AND THE SPEED WAS NORMAL. THE CONTACT DID NOT CALL THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

I HAVE HAD MY TIRES REPLACE ABOUT EVERY 25,000 MILES THE ARE WEARING REALLY BAD ON THE INSIDE I HAVE HAD ALIGNMENTS DONE AND THERE IS NO ISSUE WITH THE ALIGNMENT I HAVE SPENT OVER $1000 ON TIRES NOT SURE IF IT IS CAUSED BY THE BRAKES AND ROTORS BEING BAD. I'VE HAD THEM REPLACED TWICE ALSO. *TR

HAD RECALL DONE ONCE BEFORE ON THE BRAKES AND HAD ROTORS TURNED. THEN APPROX 25,000 MILES AFTER HAD TO DO IT AGAIN THERE WAS NO BRAKE PADS LEFT IT WAS METAL ON METAL. THERE IS BAD VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEN BRAKING. THE CALIPERS ARE STICKING THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE FRONT AND BACK BRAKES THE LAST TIME I HAD IT DONE IT WAS AT NTB IT COST RIGHT AT $400.00 TO REPAIR AND THERE IS STILL A PROBLEM WITH BRAKING AND THE VIBRATION. IT WILL LAST ABOUT A MONTH ONCE EVERYTHING IS DONE THEN ITS BACK TO SAME OLD STUFF. I CANT KEEP GOING BACK FOR THE SAME PROBLEM IT IS COSTING ME TO MUCH MONEY TO GET FIXED. THE LAST RECALL NEVER FIXED THE PROBLEM. THEN DODGE WANT TO CHARGE YOU ALL THE FEES CAUSE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR

PURCHASED NEW DODGE JOURNEY 2010 IN APRIL 2011. BASIC TYPE TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BY SEPTEMBER 2011 DUE TO WEAR. ATTEMPTED TO REPLACE WITH SNOW TIRES, NEEDED FOR SAFE WINTER DRIVING IN RURAL AREA WITH HEAVY SNOWFALL. ONLY TIRES THAT FIT WHEELS WERE ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. USED SIZE/BRAND RECOMMENDED BY DEALERSHIP THAT ALMOST FIT IN OCTOBER 2011. SINCE THEN, I HAVE HAD TO HAVE ALL FOUR BRAKE ROTORS MACHINED, FRONT BRAKE PADS REPLACED FOR THIRD TIME NOW, NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. CAR PULSATES/STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES VIOLENTLY WHEN BRAKING STARTING AT ABOUT 40 MPH. PULSATION/VIBRATION DOES NOT COMPLETELY GO AWAY EVEN IMMEDIATELY AFTER BRAKES WORKED ON/PADS REPLACED. I HAVE THE TIRES ROTATED EVERY 6 MONTHS, THIS DOES NOT HELP DECREASE PULSATION. AS OF JULY 2013, NO WINTER TIRES CAN BE FOUND THAT FIT THE CAR EXACTLY PER THE DEALERSHIP. CAR SLOWS DOWN TOO MUCH WHEN COASTING. GAS MILEAGE AVERAGES 17 MPG, CURRENT MILEAGE IS APPROX 43000. I HAVE FREQUENT PROBLEMS WITH THE LOCKS AND ALARM WHEN TEMPERATURES DROP BELOW 40 F, WHICH IS FROM OCTOBER TO MAY. CAR DOES NOT ALWAYS LOCK OR UNLOCK USING EITHER KEY FOB OR BY PRESSING BUTTON IN CAR, MUST PRESS IT MULTIPLE TIMES. CAR ALARM DOES NOT WORK CONSISTENTLY. IF CAR IS LOCKED WITH THE FOB, THE CAR DOES NOT ALWAYS LOCK BUT IS SOMETIMES "ARMED" AND THE ALARM FREQUENTLY GOES OFF WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED. MUST PLACE KEY FOB IN IGNITION AND TURN CAR ON TO STOP ALARM. DRIVER SIDE DOOR FREQUENTLY WOULD NOT UNLOCK DURING WINTER, LOCK MECHANISM COULD BE HEARD ATTEMPTING TO TURN, LOCK NEXT TO WINDOW APPEARED TO BE JUMPING SLIGHTLY. DOOR HAD TO BE UNLOCKED FROM INSIDE AFTER ENTERING CAR THROUGH OTHER DOORS. DEALERSHIP STATED THEY COULD NOT GET PROBLEMS TO REPLICATE (WITH LOCKS, ALARM). *TR

I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR NOT STARTING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THE FOB KEY OUT, TURN IT AROUND, AND INSERT IT AGAIN. AFTER DOING THIS IT WOULD FINALLY START. ON JUNE 17, 2013, I STOPPED AT AN AUTO PARTS STORE TO GET SOMETHING AND THEN COULDN'T LEAVE. WHEN I PUT THE KEY IN, THE INDICATOR ON THE DASHBOARD READ BAD KEY. A COUPLE DAYS LATER I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP TO GET A NEW KEY PROGRAMMED. THE ASSISTANT SERVICE MANAGER INFORMED ME HE RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND IT CAME BACK THAT MY WIN MODULE WAS BAD AND I HAD TO REPLACE IT ALONG WITH 2 KEYS, A $968.00 BILL. I CHECKED ONLINE AND IT SEEMS THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS MODULE BUT ONLY FOR THE "RING." MY CAR SUPPOSEDLY HAS HAD THIS PART REPLACED. I CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER AND AFTER TWO WEEKS OF GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH THEM AND THE DEALERSHIP, THEY INFORMED ME THEY WOULD NOT HELP DUE TO HIGH MILEAGE AND OUT OF WARRANTY. MY CAR STILL IS NOT FIXED BECAUSE OF FINANCIAL REASONS. WE ARE TOLD ONLY DEALERSHIPS CAN GET THIS PART, INSTALL IT, AND PROGRAM IT. MY GOOGLE SEARCHES ON THIS ISSUE SHOWS WAY TOO MANY RESULTS FOR THIS NOT TO BE A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT CHRYSLER REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR. I RECALL NEEDS TO BE DONE ON THIS PART. *TR

PROBLEM WITH CAR NOTSTARTING. CAR WOULD NOT START ALL OF THE VEHICLE HAD POWER BUT WOULD NOT START. TOW TRUCK DRIVER CHECKED TO SEE IF HE COULD START BUT COULD NOT. WHILE STANDING OUT SIDE THE CAR IT STARTED BY ITSELF. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY CAN NOT REPEAT PROBLEM. NOTICE ON LINE THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS HAPPENING. I REALLY THINK SOMEBODY SHOULD TAKECARE OF THIS. THIS COST US MONEY FOR US TO LOOK LIKE FOOLS. *TR
