2009 DODGE JOURNEY Complaints

AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS FLASHING LIKE THE AIRBAGS ARE DEFECTIVE WHENEVER THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING.

WHEN A CERTAIN LIGHT APPEARS IT CAUSES MY BRAKE LIGHTS TO GO OUT. I HAVE BEEN PULLOVER MULTIPLE TIMES AND ALMOST IN ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS. I HAVE CHILDREN. I HAVE REPLACED MULTIPLE BULBS FOR NOTHING. THIS CAR HAS BEEN AN SAFETY HAZARD. I WORKED SOOOOOOO HARD TO PAY OFF I SHOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE A SAFE RELIABLE VECHILE. I AM A CNA I HAVE CLIENTS THAT I NEED TO TRANSPORT AND I CANT WHICH IS CAUSING ME TO BE BROKE BECAUSE I CANT WORK. IF YOU HAVE A HEART PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME AND MY FAMILY.

RANDOMLY, WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR, THE ENGINE WILL MAKE A SINGULAR CLICK SOUND BUT WILL NOT TURN OVER. HOWEVER, MOST OF THE TIME, WHEN PUTTING THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL, IT WILL START. SOMETIMES IT WILL TAKE MULTIPLE TIMES OF PUTTING CAR IN NEUTRAL, BACK TO PARK, FOR THE CAR TO START. THE ISSUES HAPPENS WITH BOTH COLD AND HOT STARTS (HAPPENS MORE OFTEN WHEN IN HOT WEATHER. WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR INTO THE DEALER AND THEY, "COULD NOT FIND ANY ISSUES." THE ISSUE HAS OCCURED OVER THE LAST 4 YEARS.

AFTER DRIVING HOME FROM MY HOUSE TO MY MOM, IN THE MORNING I WENT TO START THE CAR AND IT WOULD CRANK ON BUT NOT FULLY START. IT'S BEEN DOING THAT FOR THE PAST THREE DAYS CAN'T MOVE MY CAR OUT OF START BECAUSE IT'S NOT FULLY TURNING ON

CAR WILL NOT START AT TIMES, USUALLY WHEN IT'S HOT OUTSIDE, AND IT TAKES ANYWHERE FROM 5 MINUTES TO A DAY BEFORE IT WILL START BACK. BATTERY, KEYS, AND ALTERNATOR ARE FINE. MOST OF THE TIME IF I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL IT WILL START BUT OTHER TIMES I AM LEFT STRANDED. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE FAR FROM HOME BECAUSE IF I TURN MY CAR OFF IT MAY NOT START BACK . I HAVE BEEN STRANDED FOR HOURS WITH MY KIDS BEFORE IN THE HIGH HEAT. THIS NEEDS FIXED ASAP, BEEN GOING ON FOR 5 YRS NOW.ASK ANYONE WITH A DODGE JOURNEY AND THEY WILL TELL YOU THEY HAVE THE SAME ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND SHUT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AFTER TEN MINUTES IN EACH CASE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CUMBERLAND CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (931-263-0321, LOCATED AT 1550 INTERSTATE DR, COOKEVILLE, TN 38501), BUT THE MAIN CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE SPECIFICS WERE NOT DISCLOSED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 85,000.

VEHICLE WILL NOT CONSISTENTLY START IN PARK. PLACING THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL WORKED FOR A FEW MONTHS THS AND NOW, AFTER THE STARTER AND O2 SENSORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED, THE VEHICLE HAS BEGUN TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. OUR CURRENT SHORT TERM FIX IS TO JIGGLE THE BATTERY CABLES/WIRING HARNESS AND AFTER 5 MINUTES THAT WORKS. HADN'T HAD THIS ISSUE FOR FIVE YEARS (AS THE OWNER) AND DURING THE PAST YEAR IT'S BEEN ONE NON-START AFTER ANOTHER. DROVE THE VEHICLE FOR AN HOUR WITHOUT A PROBLEM STARTING. STOPPED TO GET GAS, TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE, NOTHING. THE DASH TURNS ON, THE VEHICLE CLI IS, BUT WONT TURN OVER. BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, STARTER...CHARGING SYSTEM CHECKED OUT TO BE OK. CONCERNED I WILL BE STRANDED WITHOUT A TRUE FIX TO THIS ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY EACH TIME WE TRIED TO START IT. WWLE EVEN CAPTURED A VIDEO OF THE NON-START AND OUR RESOLUTION FOR THE MECHANIC TO VIEW. THEY DIDNT WXOWEINCE THE ISSUE; BUT I DID, AND THEY NEEDED MORE INFORMATION TO TROUBLE SHOOT FURTHER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH, BUT THE ENGINE DID NOT SHUT OFF. THE CONTACT HAD TO REMOVE A FUSE FROM THE FUSE BOX IN ORDER TO SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC OR A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,000.
