DODGE Complaints

ETC LIGHTS COMING ON CAR NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, PART WAS REPLACED 6 MONTHS AGO AND RETURNED AGAIN. TAKING TO DEALER BUT I AM TRYING TO GET RID OF THIS CAR FOR THIS ISSUE. I HAVE NOT FOUND A SOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE YET. WHILE DRIVING CAR STARTED SPUTTERING IN TRAFFIC, I HAD TO PULL OVER AND TRY AGAIN TO MAKE IT HOME. ONCE I GOT THERE THE CAR REVS UP LIKE I AM PRESSING ON THE GAS SO I AM GETTING IT TOWED TO DEALER.

THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATES. HAD THE DEALER PERFORM REPAIRS AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. LATER HAD THE RECALL PERFORMED, STILL THE PROBLEM PERSISTS.

TURNED ON PASSENGER SEAT WARMER TO KEEP A MEAL WARM IN A WHITE FOAM FOOD CONTAINER. 5 MINUTES LATER WHEN I ARRIVED AT HOME THE BOTTOM OF THE CONTAINER HAD A MELTED HOLE IN IT. THE SEAT WAS EXTREMELY HOT TO THE TOUCH IN ONE SPOT ON THE SEAT. THE REST OF THE SEAT BOTTOM AND BACK WERE NOT WARM AT ALL. SEVERAL DAYS LATER MY WIFE TURNED THE SEAT WARMER ON TO LOW AND WITHIN A COUPLE OF MINUTES SHE EXCLAIMED THAT THE SEAT WAS BURNING HER BOTTOM. WE SHUT THE SEAT WARMER OFF AND THE SEAT BEGAN TO COOL DOWN. THE SEAT WARMER HAD WORKED JUST FINE BEFORE THESE INCIDENTS. IT COULD HAVE SERIOUSLY BURNED MY WIFE IF COULD GET HOT ENOUGH TO MELT A FOAM FOOD CONTAINER. BOTH TIMES THE TRUCK WAS PARKED AND TRAVELING. TOP SPEED WAS 30ISH.

RACTRACK LIGHT ON REAR TAILGATE HAS WATER INSIDE OF IT AND SHORTED OUT. NOTICED BURNT SMELL.

UPON START UP IN COLD WEATHER POWER STEERING FLUID SHOOTS OUT FROM UNDER THE CAR. MAKES LOUD NOISE. I SEE OTHER VEHICLES FROM SAME YEAR ARE RECALLED BUT NOT MINE. CAR WAS PARKED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WHEN SHE APPROACHED A STOP SIGN AND A STOP LIGHT. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED BEFORE OR AFTER THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE SHERMAN DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM DEALER (7601 SKOKIE BLVD, SKOKIE, IL) WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS UNDETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,035. *TT *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMETELY 65MPH MY DODGE JOURNEY SHUT OFF AND THEN RESTARTED AGAIN. LUCKILY I WAS ON A STRAIGHT AWAY AT THE TIME. WHILE RESEARCHING I FOUND OUT THAT OTHER JOURNEY'S FROM 2009-2010 HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE.

ENGINE STALLS INTERMITTENTLY ON INITIAL START ATTEMPT AND DURING LOW SPEED GOING THROUGH INTERSECTIONS & ACCELERATING ON INTERSTATE ENTRANCE RAMPS. IMMEDIATE LOSS OF DRIVING CONTROL WITH LIMITED BRAKES AND MANUAL STEERING TO AVOID TRAFFIC. PLACING VEHICLE IN PARK AND IGNITION KEY TO OFF VEHICLE WOUD RESTART. RAM DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDED REPLACING WIN MODULE AND I HAVE HAD NO REOCCURENCES SINCE, (45 DAYS). THEIR IS NO RECALL OUT FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL BUT IT HAS BEEN NOTED AS A PART FAILURE ON OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY HAZARD AS DRIVING IS DIFFICULT REQUIRING ABOVE NORMAL ARM STRENGTH TO GET VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYLER CUSTOMER CARE AND AWAITING THEIR RESPONSE.

MY DASHBOARD HAS HOLE IN IT. ITS BEEN CRACKING FOR A WHILE AND REALLY DIDN'T PAY ATT

WHILE AT HOME, PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY, THE HORN BEGAN TO BLOW ON ITS OWN AT 3 AM. THIS ALSO OCCURRED WHILE PARKED IN A PARKING LOT AT A GROCERY STORE AND WHILE PARKED IN THE PARKING LOT ON A SUNDAY AT CHURCH. IT CONTINUES TO BLOW AT RANDOM, WHILE PARKED, ANYWHERE.
