2010 DODGE JOURNEY Complaints

MY CAR IS SHUTTING OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I ALMOST CRASHED LAST NIGHT, THIS IS THE THIRD TIME IT'S HAPPENED OVER THE LAST MONTH. MY DAD IS NOT ALLOWING ME TO DRIVE IT ANY LONGER AND I STILL OWE ON IT SO THAT'S NOT OKAY. I'M A FOSTER PARENT TO 4 CHILDREN AND OUR SAFETY IS ALWAYS IMPORTANT BUT THIS CAR IS A DEATH TRAP WAITING TO HAPPEN.

I WAS DRIVING IN MY 2010 DODGE JOURNEY WHEN THE DRIVER HEAD REST DEPLOYED.....NO EVENT CAUSED THE PAINFUL EJECTION. I ALMOST HIT A SEMI COMING IN MY DIRECTION. THERE ARE MANY TESTAMENTS TO OTHERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME FLAW IN THEIR DODGE JOURNEYS. IT SHOULD BE RECALLED......WHO KNOWS IF THIS CAUSES ACCIDENTS AND IT JUST APPEARS AS THOUGH IT WAS A RESULT INSTEAD OF THE CAUSE. THE DEALERSHIP THAT SOLD THIS CAR IS UNABLE TO HELP ME......THE REPAIR IS MY SOLE RESPONSIBILITY. COMPLETELY NEGLIGENT OF CHRYSLER/DODGE,!!! I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED AND STILL HAVE THE TERRIBLE HEAD PAIN 2 DAYS LATER!!! I FEEL AS THOUGH OTHERS NEED TO KNOW OF THIS DANGER. NOTHING WAS EVEN TOUCHING THE HEAD REST WHEN IT DEPLOYED........MY HEAD WASN?T EVEN TOUCHING IT. THE FORCE WAS SO HARD I HIT THE STEERING WHEEL!*DT*JB*DT CONSUMER STATED SHE PUT METAL CLIPS TO PREVENT THE HEAD REST FROM DEPLOYMENT.*JB

THE CAR WILL NOT START ....I CAN JUMP IT ...GET IT RUNNING BUT THEN WITHIN 2 HOURS IT IS COMPLETELY DEAD I HAVE REPLACED EVERYTHING AND NOTHING IS WORKING FROM WHAT I HAVE READ THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE DODGE JOURNEY AND THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY DODGE ....THIS IS VERY VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT ALSO WILL STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD....PLEASE PLEASE RESEARCH THIS AND MAKE DODGE DO SOMETHING...I HAVE HAD IT AT THE DEALER AND THEY SAY EVERYTHING TESTS OUT FINE WITH IT ....MY 16 YEAR OLD SON DRIVES THIS VEHICLE AND IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO HIM BECAUSE OF THE CAR MALFUNCTION I WILL SUE THE [XXX]OFF DODGE !!!

HORN INADVERTENTLY GOING OFF WHILE DRIVING AND STATIONARY, HAD TO PULL THE FUSES. APPARENTLY, THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE.

THE HORN KEEPS GOING OFF ON ITS OWN AND I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES AND THEY STILL HAVEN'T FIXED IT AND I'VE DONE RESEARCH AND IT ALSO HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE AIRBAG DETERIORATING.

THE HORN ON OUR 2010 DODGE JOURNEY JUST STARTED GOING OFF ALL BY ITSELF WHILE MY WIFE WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT.THE DRIVER IN FRONT OF HER PROCEEDED TO GET OUT OF THEIR VEHICLE AND POINT THEIR FINGER AND USE SOME FOUL LANGUAGE TOWARDS MY WIFE.TO US THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND UPON DOING SOME RESEARCH OUR CAR IS NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO.WE CONTACTED FCA AND THEIR ANSWER WAS IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY.REALLY MY WIFE COULD OF BEEN INJURED OR EVEN SHOT AT.PLEASE HELP US GET THIS RESOLVED BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE AND SOMEONE GETS HURT OR EVEN KILLED.RIGHT NOW WE HAVE TO DRIVE AROUND IN THIS CAR WITHOUT A HORN BECAUSE I HAD TO TAKE THE FUSES OUT AND IF THAT ISN'T A SAFETY ISSUE I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS.THIS IS GOING TO BE ABOUT A $500.00 FIX WHICH WE DO NOT HAVE.
