2010 DODGE JOURNEY Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE JOURNEY EQUIPPED WITH KUMHO TIRES, SIZE 225/55/R19. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THE VEHICLE WOULD VEERED TO THE RIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND THEY STATED THAT IT WAS A WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DOT WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE MANNUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. THE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I HAVE A 2010 DODGE JOURNEY THAT HAS BRAKES AND ROTORS CHANGED TWICE IN 24,000 MILES DUE TO WARPING CAUSING SHAKING TO THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. DODGE RECOGNIZED THE PROBLEMS AND HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 36,000 MILES BUT HAS NOT FOUND AND/OR OFFERED A ROOT CAUSE AND PERMANENT REPAIR TO THE PROBLEM. WHAT HAPPENS AFTER 36,000 MILES? SOMEONE NEEDS TO PUT PRESSURE ON CHRYSLER TO FIX THIS DESIGN FLAW THAT WILL ULTIMATELY CAUSE ACCIDENTS FROM THIS ISSUE. AN INTERNET SEARCH "DODGE JOURNEY BRAKE PROBLEM" WILL SHOW YOU THE MAGNITUDE OF THIS PROBLEM WITH DODGE JOURNEYS. *TR

SQUEAKING NOISE WHILE DRIVING. WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP IT IS THE REAR BRAKES. THEY ARE AT 10% AND THE ROTORS ARE TOO THIN TO BE MACHINED. CALLED CHRYSLER BECAUSE THEY ARE ONLY UNDER WARRANTY FOR 12,000 MILES AND THEY WILL NOT HELP OUT. I HAVE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE NEED REAR BRAKES BEFORE 80,000 MILES AND THEN NOT BEING ABLE TO MACHINE THE ROTORS BECAUSE THEY ARE TOO THIN...I ONLY HAVE 35000 MILES. I HAVE ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE FRONT BRAKES REPLACED AT 21000 MILES BECAUSE THE ROTORS ARE WARPED ( CHRYSLER COVERED THE REPAIR BECAUSE IT IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY JOURNEYS AND THE EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 36000 MILES. MY BRAKES ARE AGAIN PULSATING BUT I HAVE TO REPLACE THE REARS BEFORE THEY WILL CHECK THE FRONTS). *TR

I HAVE HAD MY FRONT BRAKES REPLACE AND BACK BRAKES AND ROTORS REPLACED TWICE AN ONLY HAVE 37,300 MILES ON MY CAR I AM SCARED THAT MY BRAKES WOULD FAILS TRANSPORTING MY 3 KIDS HOW THE BRAKES AND ROTORS WEAR THIS QUICK. *TR

THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUT DOWN WHEN DRIVING. AIR-CONDITIONING, RADIO, AND ELECTRICAL PANELS ALL WENT OUT. WE STOPPED THE CAR IN THE PARK LOT NEARBY AND RESTARTED THE CAR. EVERYTHING CAME BACK AFTER THE CAR IS RESTARTED. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL MONTHS LATER WHEN WE WERE DRIVING AT ABOUT 50MPH. SAME THING. IT CAME BACK AFTER THE CAR RESTARTS. *TR

VEHICLE HAS HAD 3 RECALLS REPLACED THROUGH TIME. THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE. I HAVE BROUGHT IN FOR STEERING WHEEL SHAKING, TO WHEELS SOUNDING LIKE METAL GRINDING TO NOW A SCREECHING HIGH PITCHED NOISE. THE FRONT BRAKES WERE REPLACED AND I WAS TOLD ALL WAS WELL. AGAIN LOUDER SCREECHING AND THE NOISE ISN'T A CONSISTENT NOISE ALL THE TIME SO ITS HARD FOR ME TO SHOW THE PROBLEM LET ALONE PIN POINT WHAT'S GOING ON. A WEEK AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL INSIDE THE CAR TURNED OFF WHILE I WAS CROSSING A BRIDGE. IT SCARED ME HALF TO DEATH. AND EVEN NOW WITH MY LITTLE GIRL AND I IN THE CAR I AM SCARED AT TIMES TO DRIVE NOT KNOWING WHAT TO EXPECT OR WHAT ELSE COULD GO WRONG. *TR

PURCHASED DODGE JOURNEY IN DECEMBER OF 2011. HAVE ONLY DRIVEN 11,300 MILES. BOUGHT 4 NEW TIRES TWO MONTHS AGO. HAVE BEEN KEEPING UP WITH ALL REGULAR MAINTENANCE TO THE VEHICLE. WHEEL SHAKES TREMENDOUSLY WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. ALSO, CAR DRAGS WHEN RELEASING THE THROTTLE. A CAR CUT ME OFF AND I HAD TO BRAKE FAST. BRAKES DIDN'T FEEL LIKE THEY WERE WORKING PROPERLY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE BRAKE WAS ENGAGED, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE AND JERK ABNORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE FAILURE. THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS WERE REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED AND THE STEERING WHEEL CONTINUED TO SHAKE WHEN THE BRAKE WAS ENGAGED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

A CONTINUING FAILURE TO START. FOLLOWING A ELECTRICAL SYSTEM RECALL MY 2010 JOURNEY HAS FAILED TO START ON OCCASION AND BECAME A PROBLEM, CREATING AT TIMES A RISK OF BEING IN THE WRONG PLACE. WE HAVE SO LITTLE CONFIDENCE IN THIS VEHICLE, WE NO LONGER DRIVE AFTER DARK. WHEN REFUELING, I DON'T SHUT THE CAR OFF. (SAFETY ISSUE) HOWEVER; IT SHOULD BE KNOWN THAT SETTING THE ALARM SYSTEM, THEN TRIGGERING THE SYSTEM AND PUTTING THE FOB INTO THE IGNITION TO CLEAR ALARM, VEHICLE HAS STARTED EACH TIME. THE DEALER THINKS I SHOULD PAY TO HAVE A COMPUTER CHECK THE SYSTEM. BASED ON OTHER STORIES POSTED BOTH HERE AND ON, JUST ANSWER WEB SIGHT A COMPUTER WOULD BE OF NO VALUE. *TR

THIS 2010 DODGE JOURNEY SXT WHICH WAS DELIVERED TO ME ON 18 MARCH 2010. ON 19 JULY 2010 I HAD TO TAKE THIS VEHICLE TO TUCSON DODGE WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE COMMENCED TO SHUDDER. EXAMINATION BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOUND THAT THE # 1 CYLINDER WAS MISFIRING AND THE INTAKE AND EXHAUST VALVES WERE NOT SEALING PROPERLY.ALSO, THE LOWER INTAKE MANIFOLD PLUG WAS SEEPING COOLANT. THE EXPANSION COOLANT TANK WAS LEAKING AT THE SEAM. THESE PROBLEMS NECESSITATED THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE RIGHT CYLINDER HEAD ASSEMBLY AND LOWER INTAKE MANIFOLD,AND EXPANSION COOLANT TANK. AFTER REPAIR AND RETURN OF THE VEHICLE TO ME, 26 JULY 2012 , UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE A DISTINCT CLICKING NOISE WAS HEARD . WHICH I REPORTED TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHO WERE QUITE DISMISSIVE ABOUT IT . ON OR ABOUT 27 AUGUST I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP THE CLICKING WAS GETTING LOUDER AND THE VEHICLE WAS SHUDDERING AGAIN. THIS NECESSITATED A SECOND ENGINE REPAIR. "THE ROCKER ARMS ARE WALKING DUE TO WORN BLOCKS AND ROCKERS". ERGO THE LEFT AND RIGHT BANK ROCKER ARMS/SHAFTS/TAPPETS HAD TO BE REPLACED. CHRYSLER HAS FAILED.NEGLECTED AND REFUSED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE IN ITS ENTIRETY DESPITE MY DEMAND THAT THEY DO BECAUSE OF REPEATED DOCUMENTED DEFECTS THEREWITH. THIS ENGINE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN BROKEN DOWN AND REPAIRED. EVIDENCE THE SECOND ENGINE PARTS FAILURE. ALSO, WHY SHOULD THE BLOCKS BE WORN AT 32K MILES? I AM THINKING THAT THEY WERE WORN WHEN THEY WERE PUT IN AT THE FACTORY AND AN INSPECTOR MISSED THIS IF IN FACT THEY WERE EVEN INSPECTED AT ASSEMBLY.I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO CONFIDENCE IN THE ROADWORTHINESS OF THIS VEHICLE. THIS ENGINE PRESENTS A SERIOUS THREAT TO THE SAFETY AND WELLBEING OF ME AND/OR MY WIFE AND GRANDCHILDREN WHILE WE ARE OUT IN THE VEHICLE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE ENGINE NEXT WILL SEIZE OR SHUT DOWN PUTTING ME OR THEM IN HARMS WAY WITHOUT WARNING. *TR *JS
