2016 DODGE JOURNEY Complaints

My abs, traction control, and my AWD service light all have been on making my car jump before I can accelerate and it then drives fine but today it would not allow me to go over 15MPH and all I could hear was grinding noises! This was the first time that has happened, I’ve replaced the wheel sensors, bearings, and all new tires it turned off for a couple months but now is back on! This is a huge hazard, I have 3 kids that were with me when the new incident happened and had to put my hazards on to make it into a gas station parking lot, this needs a recall on all senors, abs, cruise control, electrical, transmission. List goes on. What is it going to take for them to see many people have been complaining of the same issues at hand?? Is it going to take a serious or critical accident?? It should not have to get that far, I’ve complained a couple years ago and no one ever contacted about these issues. I just want my car safe for my kids! Please I beg of you to do something about these issues!

Front blowers blow hot air when A/C is turned on, defrost won’t work in winter, the backup camera keeps going black and glitching when in reverse, my abs, traction control, and AWD service keeps coming on, I have changed both front wheel sensors, wheel-barrings, brakes, and all new tires. It helped for a month no lights on and it drove amazing no issues and one day it started again and when I try to accelerate you can feel it not want to go, I hear a grind noise and then the car will jump super hard then the AWD service will kick on and traction control turns off and it will drive fine again. I have 3 kids and do not feel safe anymore driving my car! Im shocked there isn’t a recall on any of these issues considering there have and still are a lot of complaints on the same issues I’m having. Also cruise control won’t work. I seen it was recalled but previous owner had taken it in and got it replaced but it definitely is bad again. I know these issues can not be good on my car’s transmission or engine! Please help me! I’ve filed a complaint before and heard from no one.

While driving my dodge journey 2016 crossroad plus my engine started to hesitate when giving it throttle pressure to accelerate and when attempting to accelerate it decreased in speed and would in then cut power to speed up and then gain it back rapidly going into high rpm’s vehicle would then slow down on highway causing a huge safety risk for myself and others on the interstate

Headrest came undone when moving seat to vacuum under seat. It is loose and cannot be repaired. I saw there are issues with this same headrest that were recalled on the previous model year. We do not have an active recall, but this is a safety issue as the headrest is just precariously sitting atop two metal bars.

I was driving on the highway and my car started to jerk when I accelerated and hit the brakes. I pulled over to see what was wrong with the car. It hesitated to start back up and when it did it stalled. My ESC light came on and my engine light came on before I pulled over. I was stuck on the side of a busy highway with a car that almost caused an accident when it jerked. Took the car to AutoZone for a diagnostics check and got 3 error codes, P0344, P0128, and C121C-00. Was informed that there are similar issues being reported about cars of the same year, make, and model that was not included in a 2016-2017 recall and that there is an open investigation referring to the camshaft sensor being intermittent (Code P0344). There was no other warning lights on the dashboard. All the lights came on at the same time.

While driving as I increased speed it seems that the trans would slip. Also several times it actually lost power for a second before regaining composure. But today all this occurred and when I came to a traffic light , suddenly the car shutdown. I was able to turn it back on again, but I believe these occurrences are happening with regard to a recall regarding the transmission pump. One that I never received info about in 2016. If I had I probably wouldn't be reporting this.

Airbags didn't deploy in head on collision and break system has a defect in the abs module

The contact owns a 2016 Dodge Journey. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, the vehicle hesitated upon the depression of the accelerator pedal. The vehicle entered LIMP Mode with the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact initially took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the vehicle with a shift solenoid defect related to the engine control module (ECM). The contact took the vehicle to several other independent mechanics and was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The contact then received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V332000 (Electrical System, Vehicle Speed Control) which she linked to the failure. The dealer and the manufacturer were notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the software update would be covered under recall; however, any additional repairs would be paid out of pocket. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

When you change to park reverse drive there's a loud noise. When you put in drive and start driving it doesn't move and sounds like it's in park or neutral. I have pulled out in traffic and it has done this four times now

I was on the freeway and all of a sudden these lights came on and my car slowed down to a very dangerous pace and would not accelerate. This is only 2 weeks after getting 2 new tires on it. VEHICLE HAS CODES P2118, P2072, P2112, P2110 AND P2101. ALL CODES DEAL WITH THE With Customer: ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM AND MOTOR. RECOMMEND TAKE TO A FULL SERVICE SHOP TO HAVE THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM LOOKED AT AND INSPECTED, BUT ISSUES DO NOT ARISE BECAUSE OF THE TIRES BEING STALLED. CURRENT LIGHTS ARE FLASHING Electronic SYMBOL, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL OFF LIGHT. VEHICLE IN LIMP MODE PTS, TRIED TO CLEAR LIGHT TO SEE IF IT WOULD FIX ISSUE BUT AS SOON AS VEHICLE TURNS ON, ALL LIGHTS COME BACK After further investigation, The Journey is going to need the throttle body replaced.
