2010 DODGE JOURNEY Complaints

WINDOWS GO UP AND DOWN AUTOMATICALLY AT WILL. DRIVERS SIDE GETS STUCK IN EITHER POSITION AND THEN GOES UP OR DOWN AT WILL. THIS OCCURS WHEN VEHICLE IS EITHER STANDING STILL OR IN MOTION. *TR

MAKING LEFT TURN INTO PARKING LOT AND VEHICLE SHUT OFF. RECENTLY NOTICED POSSIBLE RELATED ISSUES WITH COMPUTER, INCLUDING UCONNECT NOT WORKING. THE VEHICLE WENT IN FOR RECALL REPAIRS IN AUG 2011 INCLUDING L25 BUT WE HAD NOT EXPERIENCED ANY ELECTRIC CONCERNS PRIOR TO THAT POINT. CALLED DEALER TODAY AND THEY ADVISED TO BRING VEHICLE IN BUT THEY HAD NOT HEARD OF ISSUES OCCURRING AFTER L25 REPAIR. *KB

PRE MATURE WARP. OF FRONT ROTORS. VEH BECOMES ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLE WHEN BREAKING THE SHAKING OF THE VEH IN COMBINATION WITH THE MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN MADE THE VEH. UNSAFE! *TR

1) I HAD THE FRONT BRAKES REPLACES AFTER OWNING THE CARE 7 DAYS. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FRONT RODARS AND BRAKE PADS. SIX WEEKS LATER I COMPLAINED OF THE METAL TO METAL SOUND FROM THE REAR BRAKES, BUT THE DEALER TOLD ME, "YOU CAN KEEP DRIVING THE CAR, IT'S OK FOR NOW". NOW THE BRAKES ARE TOTALLY GONE AND THE FRONT BRAKES ARE CAUSING THE CAR TO SHAKE WHEN YOU SLOW DOWN...AGAIN!! 2) THE CAR DOESN'T ALWAYS START. YOU HAVE TO CRANK THE KEY 4-5 TIMES BEFORE IT WILL START. THIS SEEMS TO BE IN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. 3) THE TRANSMISSION JERKS INTO GEAR. 4) THE PLASTIC IN THE WHEEL WELL COMING OFF. *TR

MY DODGE WAS PURCHASED AND ORIGINALLY HAD A RADIO CONNECTION PROBLEM. WHERE IT PLAYED STATIC WHILE PLAYING A CD AS WELL AS THE SPEAKERS SOUNDED BLOWN OUT. SINCE HE RADIO HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES AND STILL SEEMS TO REMAIN THE SAME. I HAVE HAD THE ALIGNMENT DONE 4 TIMES SINCE MAY 2011 AND THE PROBLEM REMAINS.THE AC HAS A DELAY WHEN TURNED ON. BUT MY BIGGER PROBLEM IS WHEN I FELT MY CAR SHUDDER WHILE PULLING AWAY FROM THE CURB. IT SERIOUSLY FELT AS THOUGH THE WHEELS WERE GOING TO FALL RIGHT OFF AND OUT FROM UNDER THE CAR. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPORTED NO PROBLEM ALTHOUGH WHEN WE TEST DROVE THE CAR THE ! LIGHT IN THE DASH CAME ON. SO THEY HAD ME WAIT ABOUT 20 ADDITIONAL MINUTES TO FIX THE ISSUE. SINCE I HAVE GOTTEN MY CAR BACK IT NOW SHUTS COMPLETELY OFF WHEN I COME TO A STOP. I AM FREAKED OUT AND DEVASTATED BY MY OVERWHELMING CONCERN FOR MY 5YR SON AND MYSELF. I JUST AM CURRENTLY NOT FEELING THE "DEPENDABLE DODGE" STATEMENT. HOPEFULLY DODGE RECOGNIZES THAT THIS IS HAPPENING OFTEN AND FIXES IT BEFORE A DEATH OCCURS. SIMPLY IS IT A DANGER TO OUR SELF AND THE COMMUNITY TO DRIVE AROUND IN CARS THAT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY. *TR
