2012 Dodge Journey SUV FWD

The blind spot is horrible. I have to check my mirrors 3 times because even if I look on my side, especially on the driver’s side whenever I have to switch lanes, I can’t see if there is a car on my blind spots. The mirrors don’t help because it may appear that the car beside me is far but it may also be near. So that of the major issue with this car. Next, when the vehicle in front of me did a sudden stop and I hit my brakes too hard to stop, the car made a throttling sound then it stopped. When it was safe to go, it wouldn’t go even though my gear is on Drive and I am pressing on the gas pedal. It just makes a rubbing noise as like it is on Park mode and you are hitting the gas pedal. So I had to shut my car off and turn it back on. Lastly, cruise control doesn’t work very well. Sometimes it works, but most of the times I had to pull over and restart my car or hit the brakes and press the on/off switch for cruise control.

My safety was at risk and I put others at risk when my vehicle lost power in the middle of a busy highway and almost caused an accident with my 2 young children in the car. It would not accelerate and we got stuck in the middle of the rode. The ABS light came on when it happened. I took it to my local dealer to diagnose and was told there was water in the ABS module connector which caused the wires to corrode. Chrysler had a recall on this specific issue for my model but because my vehicle didn't come out of a specific batch, they won't cover it. This is a safety issue and if other vehicles of this make and model were recalled for this specific issue, they should fix mine. I have attached the R61 recall from Chrysler for this issue

The contact owns a 2012 Dodge Journey. The contact stated while driving 20 MPH, the brakes locked up. The brakes, traction control, and ABS warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the ABS module needed to be replaced. The contact was informed that the parts were on backorder. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure however, no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 107,000.

WHILE PARKING CAR AND ENGAGING "THE PARKING BRAKE,} THE BRAKE POPPED AND A ROUND SILVER LOOKING ITEM POPPED OUT FROM UNDER THE BRAKE PEDAL AND LANDED ON THE FLOOR BOARD. TRYING TO ENGAGE THE PARKING BRAKE BECAME USELESS AS THE PETAL JUST STATED ENGAGED AND WHEN TOUGHED IT CAME UP TO THE PARKING BRAKE RELEASE PLACE, IF THE PETAL WAS TOUCHED IT WOULD FALL BACK TO THE ENGAGED LOOKING. WHEN DRIVING I DID NOT NOTICE ANY BURNING SMELL WHICH TOLD ME THAT THE EMERGENCY WAS NOT ENGAGED EVEN TOUGH THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON. AT HOME I CHECKED UNDER THE CAR AND FOUND THAT BACK AND FORTH. THE BRAKE CABLE WAS LOOSE AND MOVEABLE. LOOKING AT THE ROUND PIECE THAT FELL OFF IT APPEARS TO BE WHERE THE CABLE WAS TETHERED TO AND THIS WOULD BE PLACED IN THE BRAKE PETAL. THE CABLE APPEARS TO HAVE SEVERED AT THE ROUND PIECE(CONNECTOR) MAKING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE INOPERABLE. THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY RUST BUT JUST SEVERED

I messaged you the other day about my car losing it's brakes when it rains. I was wondering if you had any information for me about this problem. complaint # 11422687

I have a 2012 Dodge Journey when it rains and I have to go through water on the roads my car will loose it's brakes, which is causing me to almost hit the person in front of me. I see that my car doesn't have a recall on it for this problem but it's to the point that I'm afraid to drive it in the rain. This is my only vehicle to drive back and forth to work. Please let me know what I should do. Thanks

As I am drive my car will slow down almost as if it’s gonna shut off then began to rev up and feel as if it’s jumps back into gear. I been looking through issues with this car and I see the transmission solenoid has been a problem. Seems as if this is the issue with my vehicle.

Vehicle stalls intermittently, when coming to a stop at a light or Stop Sign.This has occurred on multiple occasions and could result in serious injury or Death. The latest date was yesterday May 31,2021.

VEHICLE TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING, EVEN AT FULL SPEED. THIS HAPPENS WHILE I AM DRVING ANYWHERE INCLUDING THE HIGHWAY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE ACTIVATED, THE TURN SIGNALS WOULD LOSE FUNCTIONALITY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE, AIR BAGS, AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER MAX CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM BELTON (7820 E. 171ST ST, BELTON, MO 64012, (816)331-4300) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING THE CLOCKSPRING TO BE REPLACED.

THE WIRING HARNESSES LOCATED AT THE REAR HATCH WHICH HAS NO VISIBLE OUTSIDE DAMAGE, YES ALL THE WIRING INSIDE IS PINCHED AND EXPOSED. THE ONLY WAY WE DISCOVERED IT WAS BECAUSE THE BACK WIPER BLADE WENT OUT.

I HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH HEAT EVERY WINTER FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS. I HAVE PAID THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON THIS EVERY WINTER AND WILL WORK FOR THAT SEASON ONLY.

ON THE FREEWAY, CAR HYDROPLANED AND HIT CONCRETE TEMPORARY DIVIDER TWICE. ONCE IN THE BACK AND THEN THE FRONT AND SIDE OF THE CAR. CAR CROSSED THREE LANES AND FORCIBLY LANDED ON EDGE OF FREEWAY.

THE 2012 DODGE JOURNEY SUV WIRING HARNESS IN THE REAR HATCH IF USED REGULARLY THE WIRES WILL BRAKE AND CAUSE NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL ISSUES. RANGING FROM NO REAR LIGHTS, WINDSHIELD WIPER, THE REAR LOCK BUTTON WILL ALSO MALFUNCTION. SOMETIMES AS IN MY CASE IT HAS CAUSE ALTERNATOR ISSUES. I AM NOW BROKE DOWN DUE TO WHAT WILL NOW BE MY 3RD ALTERNATOR IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS. I FEEL THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO RECALLED.

OVER HEATING AND RUNNING HOTTER THAN USUAL. UNUSUAL SMELL FROM ENGINE WHEN ACCELERATING QUICKLY. POPPING WHEN MAKING SHARP TURNS. AIR CONDITIONER TURNING ON AND OFF OR UP AND DOWN RANDONLY

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY OR STREET, CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF, CAUSING LOSS OF BRAKES AND POWER STEERING. WILL RESTART AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS BUT IS DANGEROUS ON THE INTERSTATE OR WHILE PASSING OR DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. MECHANIC CODE PULLS DEAD BATTERY BUT BATTERY CHANGED AND STILL SHUTS OFF.

EVERY 15K MILES OR SO THE RIGHT REAR CALIPER STICKS AND DESTROYS THE PADS AND ASSOCIATED ROTOR. I HAVE REPLACED THAT SPECIFIC CALIPER AND BOTH ROTORS THREE TWICE ALREADY. AFTER AROUND 25K TO 30K MILES I CAN NO LONGER GET THE CALIPER TO UNFREEZE. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 93K MILES ON IT AND I AM ABOUT TO REPLACE IT AGAIN. ONCE THE OUTSIDE PAD GETS TO LESS THAN 30% THE WHEEL TRIES TO LOCK UP. ONCE WHILE DRIVING IN THE COUNTRY MY WIFE NEARLY CAUGHT THE CAR ON FIRE BECAUSE OF OVERHEATING BRAKES. THIS FORM ONLY ALLOWS FOR ONE ENTRY, BUT AS STATED THIS HAS HAPPENED A MULTITUDE OF TIMES. THE WORST BEING WHEN THE ROTOR WAS GLOWING RED BEFORE IT WAS NOTICED BY ANOTHER PERSON AT A GAS STATION. THAT HAPPENED IN 2015.

THE ENGINE HA A CLICKING NOISE

MY DRIVER SIDE FRONT HEAD REST POPPED OUT FOR NO REASON WHILE I WAS SITTING IN MY CAR AT .MY WORK.

THE THERMAL STAT HOUSING HAS BEEN REPLACED 2 TIMES. THE OIL PAN GASKET DOES LOT LAST. THE ALTERNATOR HAS BEEN REPLACED 2 TIMES. THE WAS AN ELECTRICAL SHORTAGE IN THE SB PORT BUT ONLY SEEMED TO WORKED WHEN IT WAS TAKEN TO DEALER. THE HEAD REST DEPLOYED WHEN NO ONE WAS IN THE CAR.

THE PASSENGER SIDE HEAT STOPPED BLOWING WARM AND BECAME ONLY COLD AIR. FOUND OUT BY HAVING HEATER CORE REPLACED THAT ITS BECAUSE OF CASTING SAND LEFT OVER ON ENGINE BLOCK AND THE ANGLE OF HEATER CORE CAUSES IT TO BUILDUP AND PREVENT THE HEAT FROM THE CORE INTO THE PASSENGER SIDE. NEW HEATER CORE ALREADY CLOGGED NO HEAT ON EITHER SIDE. WHEN THEY REPLACED IT WAS DODGE DEALER AND THEY FLUSHED EVERYTHING THEY SAID.

IT'S BEEN A FEW WEEKS NOW THAT MY STEERING WHEEL STARTED TURNING HARD.. WHEN IT GOT REALLY HARD TO TURN WAS WHEN I TOOK IT SERIOUS THAT SOMETHING MAY BE WRONG.. ABOUT THREE WEEK AGO , BEING AT THE END OF JUNE I CHECKED MY POWER STEERING OIL I NOTICED I HAD MAJOR OIL LOSS.. I HAD IT SERVICED AS A LOCAL GARAGE THINKING IT MAY HAVE BEEN THE RACK AND PINIONS. WHEN THEY SERVICED IT WAS SERVICED WITH A NEW POWER STEERING COOLER AND PUMP..COSTING ME OVER $1000 IN REPAIRS.THE PROBLEM WASN'T FIXED BECAUSE THE WHEEL WAS STILL HARD TO TURN. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO GOOD YEAR, THEY CLEAN THE RACK AND PINION WITH DEGREASER FROM ALL THE OIL LEAKING.. THE TOLD ME TO DRIVE IT FOR A COUPLE DAY AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.. IT DROVE NORMAL FOR A WEEK, JULY 4 2020 WHILE OUT IN ABOUT, IT STARTED SMOKING AND SQUEAKING.. I PULLED OVER AND HAS IT TOLD TO A GARAGE.. I'M THINKING IT MAY BE THE SERPENTINE BELT.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WITH MY TWO KIDS WHEN I HAD TURNED MY BRIGHT LIGHTS ON THEN OFF AGAIN AS CARS WERE COMING WHEN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURNED ON. THEY WILL NOT TURN OFF, THE HIGH BEAMS WON'T TURN ON AND MY BLINKERS DO NOT WORK AS WELL. EVERYTIME I START THE VEHICLE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURN ON AND CANNOT BE TURNED OFF AGAIN. EVERYTHING IN THE SWITCH THAT CONTROLS ALL OF THESE FEATURES IS USELESS AND A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. LUCKILY WE WERE NOT HIT TURNING OFF THE HIGHWAY HEADED HOME.

ABS, ETC AND BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASH BOARD AFTER I PARKED ON A SLOPE AND DROVE FOR COUPLE OF MILES. TAKE IT TO THE DIAGNOSTIC TECHNICIAN AND A FAILURE IS DETECTED IN THE ABS MODULE. I UNDERSTAND THERE WAS AN ALERT REGARDING THIS, BUT I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION. COULD YOU ADVICE ME WHAT TO DO IN RESPECT TO THIS MATTER AND IF IT WAS A RECALL SINCE 2015 WHY I NEVER RECEIVED THE LETTER. *TR

I HAVE BEEN READING ABOUT MY ISSUE ALL TOO OFTEN ONLINE AND HAVE YET TO SEE ANY RESOLUTION AT ALL. I HAVE A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY AND HONESTLY IT IS SCARY DRIVING IT! THE CAR ACTUALLY SHUTS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT WARNING. THE ISSUE IT KEEPS SHOWING IS A CRANK SENSOR CODE. THE SENSOR HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES NOW! IT IS ALSO NOT AN EASY JOB SINCE ON AN ALL WHEEL DRIVE MODEL, THERE ARE MANY HOURS INVOLVED TO REPLACE IT. BUT IF YOU'RE ON THE HIGHWAY AND DRIVING NORMALLY THE CAR WILL DIE AT ANY MOMENTS NOTICE AND GIVE NO WARNING. SEEMS LIKE THERE ARE MANY MANY OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. IF YOU DO A QUICK SEARCH AND TYPE DODGE JOURNEY DIES WHILE DRIVING YOU WILL EASILY FIND MANY PEOPLE WITH SAME ISSUE. MANY PEOPLE SPENDING THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY ON REPAIRS THAT GET THEM NOWHERE! THIS REALLY IS SAD AND DODGE HAS DONE NOTHING TO HELP EXCEPT CONTINUE TO PUT PEOPLES LIVES AT RISK AND TAKING THEIR MONEY FOR REPAIRS! PLEASE HELP! I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE OVER 30 TIMES IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS! THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE

MY TRUCK FIRST STARTED WITH MY DRIVERS SIDE TAILLIGHT GOING OUT. IT DON'T WORK WHEN MY LIGHTS ARE OFF, BUT WHEN MY LIGHT OUT ON IT WORKS PREFECT FINE. WHEN I FIRST NOTICE THIS WAS WHEN I WENT TO GET IN MY CAR DURING THE DAY AND MY NEIGHBORS WHO WAS PARKED BEHIND ME TOLD ME MY TAILLIGHT WAS OUT AND WAS THE LED TAILLIGHT. I BELIEVE THERE IS AS ELECTRICAL ISSUES THERE. AND SECONDLY, MY AIRBAG LIGHT COME ON. THE VEHICLE WAS ON A CITY STREET AND ALL I DID WAS TURNING A CORNER AND IT CAME ON AND STILL ON. THIRDLY, WHEN IT RAINING OUTSIDE DRIVING AND STOP AT A RED LIGHT, WHEN IT TURNS GREEN AND I PROCEED TO GO AND MY TIRES SLIDE MY RADIO WOULD RESTART LIKE I JUST CUT MY TRUCK ON. EVERYTHING HAPPENED AT DIFFERENT TIMES, BUT THE MOST RECENT IS THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMING ON.

I HAVE HAD MY SPEED CENSOR AND WHEEL BEARING REPAIRED TWICE VERY CLOSELY TOGETHER AND IT NOW NEEDS DONE AGAIN. MY ABS, TRACTION, AND AWD LIGHTS ARE ALL ON. WHEN THEY ARE ALL ON, I HAVE NO TRACTION AT ALL AND SLIDE ALL OVER THE PLACE. IT IS VERY UNSAFE AND I FEEL LIKE MY CAR IS A DEATH TRAP. I HAVE PUT OVER $10,000 INTO MY CAR IN LESS THAN 3 YEARS FOR UNNECESSARY MAINTENANCE.

ALSO THE RED LIGHTNING BOLT SYMBOL CAME ON AS WELL. AT THE SAME TIME THAT THE LIGHTS CAME ON MY CAR DECELERATED AT A RAPID PACE, WHICH WAS NOT AT ALL SAFE ON THE HIGHWAY. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED ON MY FLASHERS AND PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER GETTING ON MY PHONE TO SEE WHAT IT COULD BE, I DECIDED THAT I WOULD LIMP HOME WITH THE CAR SO I COULD RESEARCH A LITTLE FURTHER WHAT WAS GOING ON AT HOME. WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME AFTERWARD, THE CAR NEVER GOT FASTER THAN ABOUT 20 MILES PER HOUR AND ACCELERATED AT A VERY, VERY SLOW PACE.

THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ARRIGO DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM WEST PALM BEACH (6500 OKEECHOBEE BLVD, WEST PALM BEACH, FL 33411, (561) 282-1545) WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED PER TWO UNKNOWN RECALLS; HOWEVER, THE ABS DEFECT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ABS, BRAKE LIGHTS, AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A NEW ABS. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH GREENBRIER DODGE OF CHESAPEAKE (1717 S MILITARY HWY, CHESAPEAKE, VA 23320, (757) 383-9734) AND WAS PROVIDED A REPAIR COST ESTIMATE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) CONTROL MODULE. THERE'S WAS A RECALL FOR OUR 2012 DODGE JOURNEY WHICH THE PREVIOUS OWNERS TOOK CARE OF IN OCT 2015 (THE MONTH AND YEAR OF RECALL). WE PURCHASED IN 2017. A FEW TIME THE ABS LIGHT HAS COME ON BUT ONLY FOR A MINUTE OR 2 SINCE WE BOUGHT IT. TODAY 8/2/2019 IT CAME ON ALONG WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT AND (NO TRACTION LIGHT (THE SWIVELING CAR IMAGE LIGHT). WE HAVE HAD A LOT OF HEAVY RAIN. WE WHERE TOLD BY SERVICING STATION BY DIAGNOSTIC TEST IT WAS THE ABS CONTROL MODULE SYSTEM MALFUNCTION. AND IF WE DID NOT GET FIXED OUR BRAKES COULD LOCK UP AND SYSTEM FREEZE UP. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE THAT WAS CORRECTED IN PAST BUT IS NOW HAPPENING AGAIN. THESE LIGHTS CAME ON JUST AS WE STARED TO DRIVE. WHEN THE CAR WAS RESTING FOR 30 MINUTES AND I WAS LEAVING TO DRIVE TO SERVICE STATION THE BREAK PEDAL WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO PUSH DOWN ( BREAK NEEDS TO BE PRESSED WITH TOUCH BUTTON START). I ALMOST COULDN'T START CAR. THE BREAK FINALLY SOFTENED AND I WAS ABLE TO PRESS DOWN TO START CAR. AT THAT POINT THE LIGHT DID NOT COME BACK ON FOR 5 MINUTES WHILE DRIVING BUT SADLY IT DID COME BACK. I FEEL WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT HAS COME UP AGAIN FROM A PREVIOUS RECALL. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN. IT WAS IN THE PAST AND SHOULD BE AGAIN.

COOLANT LEAK UNDER INTAKE.. REPAIR SHOP SAID HE HAD SAME IDENTICAL VEHICLE COME IN LESS THAN A MONTH AGO SAME CONCERN.. VEHICLE OVERHEATED AND COULD SMELL SOMETHING BURNING AFTER HOURS OF LABOR SERVICE MANAGER SEALED AND REPLACED THE HOSE. BUT SAYS TO CHECK SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL SINCE HE HAD ANOTHER VEHICLE COME IN.

WIRING HARNESS EXITING REAR OF VEHICLE ENTERING INTO REAR HATCH SUPPLYING POWER TO OVERHEAD BRAKE LIGHT, LICENSE PLATE LIGHTS AND HATCH DOME LIGHT IS SEVERED INSIDE RUBBER SLEEVE. I CURRENTLY HAVE NO LIGHTS TO THE REAR HATCH. RUBBER SLEEVE SHOWS NO SIGN OF FATIGUE OR FAILURE BUT WIRES INSIDE ARE SEVERED. LINK IS TO ANOTHER JOURNEY OWNERS VIDEO OF HIS SIMILAR ISSUE ONLY I HAVE SEVERAL BROKEN WIRES NOT JUST ONE. HTTPS://WWW.BING.COM/VIDEOS/SEARCH?Q=2012+REAR+HATCH+LIGHT+REPAIR&VIEW=DETAIL&MID=396EE57BEAE941266444396EE57BEAE941266444&FORM=VIRE . DODGE DEALER SAID NO OPEN RECALLS. PER VIDEO, PROBLEM REPORTED TO DODGE 2016. I HAD NO IDEA OF ISSUE UNTIL OIL CHANGE /INSPECTION TODAY 7/20/2019. FOR SOME REASON DID NOT APPEAR TO HAVE BLOWN ANY FUSES WHICH MEANS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR ARCHING/FIRE. DESIGN/SAFETY FLAW? THE OVERHEAD REAR BRAKE LIGHT WAS INSTALLED FOR A REASON AND SHOULD WORK. I WOULD HAVE TRIED TO INSERT PICTURES BUT I DO NOT OWN A CAMERA. VIDEO LINK ACCURATELY DEPICTS ISSUE EXCEPT IN MY CASE I HAVE SEVERAL SEVERED WIRES. CURRENTLY ONLY THE REAR HATCH LOCK WORKS. QUESTION: ATTEMPT REPAIR OR HAVE A MECHANIC REPLACE WIRING HARNESS? *TR

ABS, AWD SERVICE , THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER AND STOP, HAVE TO TURN CAR OFF AND BACK ON

I'VE SEEN THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THE ABS UNFORTUNATELY MY VEHICLE WAS MADE A MONTH LATER. MY ABS LIGHT, BREAK LIGHT, AIR BAG LIGHT AND THE CAR SLIPPERY LIGHT IS ON.

WHILE DRIVER THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON IN MY VEHICLE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE SEATBELT HARNESS AND SENSOR.

YESTERDAY, WHILE WAITING AT A STOP SIGN MY 2012 JOURNEY SHUT OFF. I HAD NO IDEA IT HAD EVEN SHUT OFF! I PRESSED THE GAS TO GO AND THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE. I WAS A LITTLE BAFFLED BECAUSE THE RADIO WAS STILL PLAYING. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND PRESSED THE IGNITION AND THE CAR STARTED AGAIN. THIS IS LATEST AND MOST UNSAFE ISSUE THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH THIS CAR. THE RADIO RANDOMLY CHANGES STATIONS AND IT DOESN'T SHUT OFF WHEN THE CAR IS SHUT OFF. I HAVE TO TURN THE RADIO OFF BEFORE I TURN THE CAR OFF BECAUSE IT WILL CONTINUE TO PLAY. THIS STARTED ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO. THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND THE DRIVERS DOOR WAS OPENED, BUT THE RADIO KEPT PLAYING. IF I FORGET TO TURN IT OFF BEFORE THE IGNITION, I HAVE TO RESTART THE CAR AND LET THE RADIO PLAY FOR A MIN OR SO BEFORE I CAN TURN IT OFF. ALSO, THE REAR AIR SUDDENLY COMES ON. WHEN I TURN IT OFF IT COMES BACK ON. IF IT'S SYNCED WITH THE FRONT AIR, IT WILL RANDOMLY GO TO THE HIGH SETTING. THE JOURNEY ALSO DOES A JERKING MOTION WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY OR NEIGHBORHOOD ROADS TOO. WE THOUGHT THAT MAYBE IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION, BUT WE HAD IT CHECKED AND IT'S FINE! AFTER YESTERDAY'S SUDDEN SHUTOFF, I'M WONDERING IF ALL THAT JERKING WAS A SIGN OF WHAT WAS TO COME. THE BRAKE LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON FOR A FEW WEEKS AS WELL. I COULD BE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY AND THE BREAK LIGHT COMES ON. IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT, ACCELERATION OR DRIVING AT A CONSTANT SPEED. IT HAPPENS SO FREQUENTLY THAT MY KIDS ARE LIKE, HERE WE GO AGAIN BECAUSE WE, OUR BODIES, START JERKING WITH THE CAR. WE BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW AT THE END OF 2011. I LOVED IT AT FIRST, BUT NOW I'M AFRAID TO PUT MY KIDS IN IT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. THERE ARE ISSUES WITH DIFF. MODEL YEARS, SO IF THE PROBLEMS ARE BEING FIXED ON SOME, IT SHOULD BE FIXED ON ALL. AFTER ALL, THE COMPANY MADE $ ON ALL OF THEM & OUR LIVES ARE VALUABLE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START INTERMITTENTLY. NAPLETON'S NORTHWESTERN CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (5950 N WESTERN AVE, CHICAGO, IL 60659, (773) 334-3400) STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE AND THE BATTERY WAS NOT SUCCESSFULLY SUPPLYING A CURRENT TO START THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WATCHED A YOUTUBE VIDEO AND TEMPORARILY REPAIRED THE VEHICLE BEFORE GOING TO THE DEALER. WHEN THE DEALER SAW THE REMEDY THAT WAS PERFORMED, THEY DID NOT SERVICE THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,620.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY HUSBAND AND I SMELT A BURNING OIL LIKE SMELL WHICH WE THOUGHT WAS THE CAR IN FRONT OF US. NOTHING ON THE DASH INDICATED ANY ISSUES. WE ARRIVED HOME AND NOTICED IT WAS OUR CAR THAT THE SMELL WAS COMING FROM. I PARKED THE CAR AND CAME OUT THE NEXT MORNING AND NOTICED A SMALL WET SPOT UNDER MY CAR, THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT AND LEFT FOR WORK. AFTER WORKING ALL DAY I CAME OUT TO FIND ANOTHER SMALL WET SPOT AND ON THE DRIVE HOME THE SAME SMELL. MENTIONED IT TO MY HUSBAND WHO GLANCED UNDERNEATH BUT COULDN'T SEE WHERE THE MOISTURE WAS COMING FROM. DROVE MY CAR TO WORK THE NEXT DAY AND IT STARTED MAKING A LOW GROWLING NOISE. ARRIVED AT WORK AND HAD A MOBIL MECHANIC STOP AND INSPECT THE CAR WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED I HAD A CRACK IN THE TRANSFER CASE. PARKED THE CAR FOR ALMOST A YEAR WHILE I SAVED THE MONEY FOR THE NEW TRANSMISSION I WAS TOLD I NEEDED. GOT THE NEW TRANSMISSION INSTALLED ONLY TO DRIVE IT HOME AND HAVE IT START MAKING A CLICKING SOUND! HAD IT TOWED BACK TO THE TRANSMISSION PLACE WHERE THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE DRIVESHAFT IS BROKEN! DROPPED OFF ANOTHER DRIVE SHAFT TO HAVE INSTALLED AND IT IS ALSO NOW BROKEN. I HAVE A RECALL ON MY CAR FOR THE AIRBAG BUT I CAN'T EVEN GET IT TO THE DEALER TO BE FIXED BECAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION / DRIVESHAFT ISSUES.

AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON WHEN STARTING, GOES OUT THEN COMES BACK ON AND STAYS ON.

AFTER PARKING THE CAR, GOING INTO A STORE AND RETURNING TO THE CAR - IT WOULD NOT START. THE PUSH BUTTON WOULD NOT WORK. NOTHING CAME UP ON THE SCREEN. I WAS STRANDED UNTIL SOMEONE GAVE ME A RIDE. AFTERWARDS, A MECHANIC CHECKED THE VEHICLE. HE SAID THAT THE ALTERNATOR IS GOOD, THE BATTERY IS GOOD, THE STARTER IS GOOD, ALL THE FUSES AND RELAYS ARE GOOD. HE SAID THAT THIS ISSUE SEEMED TO BE RELATED TO A PROBLEM IN THE COMPUTER. I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN DODGE VEHICLES. I HAVE TRIED ALL OF THE TIPS THAT I CAN FIND ONLINE IN VIDEOS AND FORUMS, BUT THE CAR STILL WON'T START. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED ABOUT A MONTH AGO.

RADIO GOES OUT AND VEHICLE NOT ABLE TO BE USED ALL CONTROLS IN HEAD UNIT COMPLAINED ABOUT IT 6 TIMES AND STILL NOTHING CANT OPERATE LIGHTS AND SAFETY EQUIPTMENT

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND MY DRIVER SEAT HEAD REST RANDOMLY DEPLOYED. LUCKILY MY HEAD WAS NOT ON IT AT THE TIME AS I WAS LOOKING IN MY MIRRORS TO MOVE OVER A LANE ON THE INTERSTATE. IF MY HEAD HAD BEEN ON IT AND IT DEPLOYED, THERE'S NO TELLING WHAT COULD'VE HAPPENED, ESPECIALLY SINCE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. I THOUGHT SOMEONE HAD RUN INTO THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE IT WAS SO LOUD. THIS IS NOT SAFE AND SHOULD BE A RECALL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET FIXED, AND IT COST'S OVER $500 TO FIX IT. I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY $500 TO FIX THAT. WHAT HAPPENS IF ANOTHER IS DEPLOYED? THIS NEEDS TO BE CHECKED AND FIXED ON ALL THESE VEHICLE AS IT IS NOT SAFE AND CAN RANDOMLY DEPLOY AT ANY TIME. PLEASE MAKE THIS A RECALL!

ALL THESE VEHICLES HAVE SERIOUS BRAKE PROBLEMS , THEY HAVE TO BE REPLACE VERY OFTEN IF NOT YOU END UP IN AN ACCIDENT , I HAVE BEEN VERY CLOSE , IT'S THE COMPLETE BREAKING SYSTEM THAT'S BAD , JUST CHECK THE SERVICE RECORDS FOR THESE VEHICLES I AM SURE THERE HAVE BEEN MANY ACCIDENTS RELATED TO BRAKE ISSUES .

OVER THE LAST MONTH MY CAR WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN DIE WHILE I AM DRIVING IT. WHEN IT HAPPENS I LOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. I AM NOT ABLE TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC. MY VEHICLE WILL GO FROM 65 MPH TO 0 MPH IN SECONDS AND STOP WHERE I MAY BE. IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIME ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS WEEK IT STARTED TO HAPPEN WHILE ON MAIN ROADS. WHEN IT HAPPENS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON FOR A SHORT TIME AND THE CAR WILL CONTINUE TO TRY AND RESTART ITSELF BUT BY THE TIME I GET THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS OFF AND NOT DIAGNOSTIC CODES ARE FOUND. THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND THE DEFECT IS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE, JERKED, BUCKED, AND THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY AND TRACTION CONTROL INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THERE WAS ALSO A DRASTIC REDUCTION OF SPEED TO THE POINT THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED MOISTURE, AND THAT THE ABS MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER (MAGUIRE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF SYRACUSE, 959 HIAWATHA BLVD W, SYRACUSE, NY 13204, (315) 487-6211) WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V675000 (ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC); HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED THE SAME FAILURE AS THE RECALL CAMPAIGN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,000.

/012 DODGE JOURNEY 2.4 LITTER. WHILE I DRIVE THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL ENGAGE AUTOMATICALLY AT 30 MILES PER HOUR. THE CAR RAPIDLY ACCELERATES. I HAVE TO HIT THE BRAKE TO CANCEL IT OUT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. A LOUD ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. AUTONATION CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM SPRING (21027 I-45, SPRING, TX 77388, (281) 715-6927) DIAGNOSED THAT THE WHEEL WIRING NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 129,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE AND MIDDLE SEAT BELTS FAILED TO UNLOCK AND RELEASE. THE SEAT BELTS HAD TO BE CUT TO RELEASE THE OCCUPANTS. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TACOMA DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (4101 S TACOMA WAY, TACOMA, WA 98409, (253) 475-7300) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SEAT BELTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JOHN L SULLIVAN DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (950 HARTER PKWY, YUBA CITY, CA 95993, (530) 742-6406), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WAS NEEDED. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO A LOCAL DEALER. ADDITIONALLY, A SPECIALIST WOULD BE SENT TO REVIEW THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,000.

THIS ISSUE OCCURRED REGARDLESS IF THE CAR WAS IN MOTION OR STATIONARY. IT ALSO OCCURRED IF THE MOTOR WAS TURNED ON OR NOT. THE LICENSE PLATE LIGHT WAS OUT, BUT IT WAS NOT A BULB ISSUE. THE CENTER REAR BRAKE LIGHT (ON THE TAILGATE) WAS OUT, BUT IT WAS NOT A BULB ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE TAILGATE WIPER WOULD NOT RETURN TO THE HOME POSITION WHEN TURNED OFF. IT WOULD REMAIN WHEREVER IT WAS WHEN THE SWITCH WAS TURNED OFF. THIS WAS A VISIBILITY ISSUE. THE KEY-LESS ENTRY FOB WOULD NOT UNLOCK THE CAR DOORS. THIS WAS NOT A FOB BATTERY ISSUE. THIS WAS VERY PROBLEMATIC FOR PASSENGER DOORS WHICH COULD NOT BE UNLOCKED FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE THE CAR. THIS WAS BROUGHT TO A DEALER FOR REPAIR. THEY DIAGNOSED THE CAR WITH HAVING SPLIT WIRES IN THE LIFT GATE. I AM CONCERNED THAT SPLIT WIRES COULD HAVE CAUSED A SHORT AND EVENTUALLY A FIRE. ADDITIONALLY, A SHORT COULD HAVE CAUSED OTHER ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS OF THE CAR TO FAIL WHILE IN MOTION.

AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY GARAGE FOR THE WEEKEND IT WON'T START. IT SAYS THE KEY FOB IS NOT DETECTED OR IT'S SO DEAD IT WON'T SHOW ANYTHING AT ALL. I GET IT TO START AFTER GETTING JUMPED. IT TAKES ABOUT 5 MINUTES OF BEING HOOKED UP BEFORE IT'S CHARGED ENOUGH TO START. THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY BUT THE BATTERY IS BRAND NEW. MY MECHANIC HAS CHECKED IT MULTIPLE TIMES BUT CAN'T FIND ANY ISSUES. THIS IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING!!!!!! WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON WITH DODGE JOURNEYS???? IT HAS HAPPENED SO MANY TIMES KNOW, IT'S JUST RIDICULOUS!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HESITATED WHILE DRIVING. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD AND THE VEHICLE DECELERATED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANTWERPEN DODGE RAM (5717 BALTIMORE NATIONAL PIKE, CATONSVILLE, MD 21228, (410) 744-7400) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY MAKING A LOUD ABNORMAL HUMMING SOUND. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,269. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

MOTOR BURNED UP CAUSE OF A PIN HOLE LEAK FROM THE RADIATOR THAT WENT INTO THE MOTOR, MIXED WITH THE OIL, BEING OVERHEATED

THE ANTENNAE ALLOWS WATER TO ENTER UNDERNEATH IT, SEEMS ITS NOT FULLY SEALED ALL AROUND AND IT ALLOWS WATER TO ENTER VEHICLE. LINER HAS WATER RINGS AND REAR LEFT FLOOR GETS PRETTY DAMP. SAW THE SAME WATER RINGS IN A 2010 JOURNEY. RUSTING OUT ANY METAL AND OR ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS NOT SEEN.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS OVER THE PAST TWO OR THREE MONTHS, MY VEHICLE LOSES ALL POWER, AND AT SAME TIME THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT AND BRAKES HAVE TO PUSHED EXTRA HARD TO GET THEM TO WORK. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN DRIVING UNDER 40 MPH IN TOWN. IT HAS HAPPENED MOST OFTEN WITHIN THE FIRST 5 MINUTES OF STARTING THE CAR, BUT TODAY IT HAPPENED AFTER I HAD BEEN DRIVING 30 MINUTES ON THE HIGHWAY AND THEN IN TOWN FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. IT HAS HAPPENED WHEN SLOWING DOWN, WHEN ACCELERATING, OR WHEN GOING STABLE SPEED, AS WELL AS BEFORE A TURN, AFTER A TURN, OR WHILE GOING STRAIGHT. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PULL OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD AND STOP, PUT CAR IN PARK, AND RESTART IT. WE TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL CAR REPAIR SHOP TWICE, AND THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG AFTER HOOKING IT TO THEIR COMPUTER. THE CAR HAS 87,756 MILES ON IT. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS IS UNSAFE, AND I'M WORRIED IT COULD HAPPEN AT A DANGEROUS INTERSECTION OR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS MY VEHICLE WILL LOOSE ALL POWER. IF I'M GOING OVER 45 IT USUALLY RESTARTS ITSELF. IF UNDER 40 THE STEERING LOCKS UP, ALL ELECTRICAL SHUTS DOWN AND I CANNOT GET HAZARD LIGHTS OR PULL OVER. I CAN THROW IT INTO NEUTRAL AND HIT THE PUSH-TO-START AND IT RESTARTS. SOMETIMES, LIKE AT STOPLIGHTS, I HAVE HAD TO THROW IT INTO PARK THEN RESTART IT. THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW INSTANCES OF IT NOT RESTARTING NO MATTER WHAT WE TRY. THROUGH TRIAL AND ERROR WE GOT IT TO START AGAIN AFTER SERIOUS ROCKING. I HAVE NOTICED IT HAPPENS MORE IF THE USB PORT OR AUX PORT ARE BEING USED, ALTHOUGH IT HAS HAPPENED A COUPLE OF TIMES WITHOUT THOSE BEING TOUCHED. HAS ONLY BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE MAJORITY OF THE FUNCTIONS WITH MY ON-BOARD ENTERTAINMENT UNIT WENT OUT. DEALERSHIP CAN NOT DIAGNOSE, SAY THEY CANNOT GET THE PROBLEM TO DUPLICATE. I HAVE VIDEOS OF THIS HAPPENING BUT DEALERSHIP HAS NOT BEEN INTERESTED IN SEEING THEM.

I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE SINCE SEPTEMBER 2017. I HAVE HAD IT IN THE REPAIR SHOP TWICE FOR THIS NOT STARTING PROBLEM. IT STARTS WHEN IT WANTS TO. IF YOU TRY AND START IT IT CAN TAKE ANYWHERE FROM 2 MINUTES TO 2 HOURS TO FINALLY DECIDE TO START. I'VE TRIED TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL TO START BUT THAT DON'T WORK EITHER!!! THIS CAR IS A PIECE OF CRAP THAT I HAVE TO CONTINUE TO PAY FOR. CHRYSLER IS WRONG. THEY KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE COMPLAIN. I'M OVER IT!!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, A CHEMICAL ODOR WAS PRESENT. THE CONTACT BECAME ILL FROM THE CHEMICALS USED TO MANUFACTURER THE VEHICLE. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NOT RECEIVED. SALINAS VALLEY FORD LINCOLN (1100 AUTO CENTER CIR, SALINAS, CA) WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH IN INCLEMENT WEATHER, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AND THE BRAKES FAILED TO OPERATE AS INTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V675000 (ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 146,000.

THE ISSUE WITH MY CAR IS THAT THE TRACTION LIGHT TURNED ON IT DOES THIS ALOT IT EVENTUALLY WILL TURN OF ON ITS OWN THEN WHILE I'M DRIVING IT WILL DECIDE TO TURN BACK ON CAUSING MY JOURNEY TO DO A LITTLE STALL. THIS HAPPENS AT RANDOM TIMES AND IS STAYS ON FOR A LONG TIME TO. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I'M DRIVING IT'LL FLASH LIKE IT WANTS TO TURN ON THEN TURN OFF. THIS HAPPENS ON THEY HIGHWAY EVEN DRIVING DOWNTHE STREET

I HAD A ABS LIGHT AND ESC LIGHT APPEAR, PULLED INTO GAS STATION. APPROACHED THE FUEL PUMPS AND PRESSED THE BRAKES AND SLID ON THE ICY PAVEMENT (SNOWY MICHIGAN) INTO THE GAS PUMP PROTECTORS MADE OF CONCRETE. COULDN'T CONTROL THE VEHICLE @~8MPH SLIGHTLY TURNED APPROACHING A GAS PUMP ON WET/ICY CONCRETE.

WHEN OPENING THE BACK HATCH, ALL THE DOORS WILL RANDOMLY LOCK OR UNLOCK. THE HATCH LIGHT DOES NOT WORK. THE REAR WINDOW, BACK HATCH, WIPER CLEANER WILL NOT WORK. ATTACHED IS A PICTURE OF THE WIRING HARNESS FOR THE BACK HATCH. ALL THE WIRES HAVE BEEN CUT JUST FROM REGULAR OPENING AND CLOSING OF THE HATCH DUE TO THE FACT WHERE IT IS LOCATED AND THAT WHEN THE HATCH IS CLOSED IT BENDS ALL THAT WIRING IN HALF. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURE AT LEAST 5 ARE COMPLETELY BROKEN AND MANY MORE ARE ALMOST COMPLETELY CUT.

THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT HEADREST DEPLOYED RANDOMLY WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.

OUR BACK-UP CAMERA GOES DARK FREQUENTLY OR FLIPS UPSIDE DOWN WHILE BACKING UP AND WE ALMOST HIT A CHILDT THAT RAN BEHIND US SUDDENLY. ALSO, THE VEHICLE WON'T SHIFT INTO LOW GEAR WHEN IN AUTOMATIC AND GOING UP HILLS, BUT SHIFTS IN MANUAL,AND IT SUDDENLY JUST SLOWS DOWN WHILE IN DRIVE, WHICH HAS CAUSED US TO ALMOST GET REAR-ENDED SEVERAL TIMES. FINALLY, OUR TIRE SENSORS SHOW LOW PRESSURE, BUT WHEN WE REPLACED THEM ALL THE TIRE SYMBOL STILL SHOWED UP. BECAUSE OUR ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, WE TOOK IT IN FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. WE WERE TOLD THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT WE NEED A SOFTWARE UPDATE THAT WOULD CORRECT ALL THESE PROBLEMS. WE WERE TOLD WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT, BUT IT SEEMS IT SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY ISSUES.

H20 SENSOR WHEN TURNING BUTTON TO HEAT UP CAR IT DOESNT WORK

I HAVE CHANGED MY KEY FOB 3 TIMES AND GOT A NEW BATTERY AND IT STILL SAY KEY IS NOT DETECTED. I HAVE TO GET A JOB EVERY 3 MONTHS TO GET MY CAR STARTED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES FAILED OCCASIONALLY WHILE DRIVING.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY HAD TO PULL OVER. PUT HAZARD LIGHTS ON GRASS WAS WET. WHEN DONE WE GOT STUCK SO I OUT THE ABS BUTTON ON AND THE TRACTION AND ABS LIGHTS STAYED ON THE DASH FOR 20 MILES, THEN THEY TURNED OFF FOR A BRIEF MOMENT AND THEY'VE BEEN ON EVER SINCE. COMPUTER MODULE AT OUR LOCAL STORE IS NOT GIVING A PROBLEM WHEN PLUGGED INTO THE FUSE BOX WITH THEIR HANDHELD COMPUTER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE CONSTANTLY LOST POWER, THERE WAS A REDUCTION OF SPEED, AND THE SERVICE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR FLASHED WITHIN MONTHS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 11V487000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING), BUT THE REPAIR FAILED TO REMEDY THE FAILURES. HONDRU CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF ELIZABETHTOWN (2005 S MARKET ST, ELIZABETHTOWN, PA 17022, (717) 367-6644) INDICATED THAT THEY REPAIRED THE VEHICLE, BUT THE VEHICLE MADE AN ABNORMAL TICKING NOISE AND THE SERVICE ENGINE INDICATOR KEPT ILLUMINATING.

ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE ABS MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. BRAKES CONTINUED TO WORK AND AT FIRST THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL WENT ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY.

THE 4 CYLINDER ENGINE ON MY 2012 DODGE JOURNEY DEVELOPED AN ENGINE COOLANT LEAK. TROUBLE SHOOTING FOUND THE LEAK TO BE RELATED TO DETERIORATION OF A PLASTIC PART INSIDE THE ENGINE...DODGE PART# 68003582...ADAPTER C. THE CAR WAS STANDING WHEN THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED. IF I HAD NOT HAD THE PART REPLACED A CATASTROPHIC ENGINE COOLANT LEAK COULD HAVE OCCURRED WHILE THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN, LEADING TO A FULL LOSS OF COOLANT, OVERHEATING OF THE ENGINE AND SEIZING OF THE ENGINE. I TALKED WITH DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGED AWARENESS OF THE PROBLEM.THE CAR HAS 89,000 MILES. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM.

MY CAR WAS IN AN ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 60MPH REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAS SOME PROBLEM TOO.

MYSELF AND MY 3 YOUNG CHILDREN WERE DRIVING DOWN A PRETTY DARK HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 10 PM. 3 HOURS FROM HOME. IN A STORM AND VERY HEAVY RAIN. VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER. WHEN I GAVE IT GAS THE ENGINE JUST REVVED. LOST ALL POWER INCLUDING WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND POWER STEERING I QUICKLY DROPPED FROM 75 TO 40 WITH SEMIS BARRELING UP BEHIND ME AS I WAS TRYING TO GET TO A SHOULDER TO PULL OFF ON. CAR DIED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. WE WERE STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR 5 HOURS WITH NO HEAT AND NO POWER TO THE CAR. EVEN CALLLED ROADSIDE AND THEY TRIED TO JUMP IT. IT WOULD START BUT THEN GO HAYWIRE AGAIN. BATTERY LIGHT AND ETC AS WELL AS ALL OTHERS LIGHTS COME ON. IT HAS LEFT ME AND MY KIDS IN THE COLD MORE THAN ONCE. NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW THE PROBLEM AS THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR ARE TESTING FINE. VEHICLE IS NOW SITTING IN MY DRIVE WAY AND WON'T DO ANYTHING. AT ALL.

6 WEEKS AGO THE AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT APPEARED IN MY CAR. I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP (LAFONTAINE IN LANSING, MI) AND THEY TOOK A LOOK AT IT. THEY DISCOVERED THE WIRING BETWEEN THE SENSOR AND THE AIRBAG HAD CORRODED. IN SEPTEMBER 26, 2017, OUR CAR'S HEATER CORE EXPLODED ON US AFTER BEING INSTALLED IMPROPERLY EARLIER IN 2017 BY WYSUP CHRYSLER IN PULLMAN, WASHINGTON. IT POURED BOILING HOT WATER AND ANTIFREEZE ON MY HUSBAND WHILE HE WAS DRIVING THE CAR. WE BELIEVE THAT THIS WAS THE CAUSE OF THE CORRODED WIRING, BUT DODGE REFUSES TO FIX IT. WE HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A CAR FOR OVER A MONTH NOW AS WE SIT AND WAIT TO SEE IF DODGE CORPORATE, THE BBB, OR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE OF WASHINGTON STATE WILL HELP US. THE COST TO FIX OUR AIRBAG SENSOR IS $1500.

ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WORK, IT LOCKS AND UNLOCKS WITH KEY, ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING WORKS FINE BUT WON'T TURN ON EVEN AFTER REPLACING WITH A NEW BATTERY. THIS ISSUE IS RIDICULOUS AND DODGE NEEDS TO FIX IT ASAP. I WILL NEVER BUY DODGE AGAIN.

CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR (CKP) YESTERDAY I WAS DRIVING DOWN TRAFFIC FILLED PLEASANT HILL RD. IN DULUTH, GA AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WITHIN SECONDS I LOST POWER, I COULD NOT USE MY BRAKES AND STEERING. I ALMOST REAR-ENDED SOMEONE. I PUSHED THE START BUTTON AND THE CAR HESITATED. I TRIED ONCE MORE AND IT BEGAN TO START. I MADE IT TO ADVANCED AUTO AND THEY CODED IT ( P0335) HOME AND HAVE NOT DRIVEN THE VEHICLE SINCE.

"TAKATA RECALL" IT IS TO MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE SHOULDN'T HAVE NO ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE AT 98000, DRIVING AT 40 MPH THE ENGINE STOP WORKING AND NOW WE HAVE TO BUY A NEW TRANSMITION... HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE... THIS IS UNACEPTABLE.

MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TOTALLY FAILED ON MY 2012 DODGE JOURNEY, I HAVE HAD OVER 20 FIRES UNDER HOOD OF THIS DODGE JOURNEY I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR OVER AND OVER TO THE DEALERSHIP OVER A 4 YEAR PERIOD THEY SAY THE DODGE TOLD THEM NOT TO REPAIR THE CAR, SO ON 2/28/2018 THE 2012 DODGE JOURNEY WAS TOTALED BY FIRE, THE TOTAL CAR BLOW UP UNDER THE CAR WHEN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILED THE CONVERTER FILL WITH GAS ME AND MY FAMILY NEARLY DIED THAT DAY TO THIS PRESENT DAY THERE HAS BEEN NOTHING DONE ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS BEFORE THIS HAPPENED THE WIPER , THE RADIO , EVERYTHING WOULD TURN ON WITHOUT A SWITCH BEENING TURNED ON......I NEARLY HAD A HEAD ON THAT DAY 2/28/2018 BECAUCE I HAD LIMITED STEERING AND BRAKES WHEN THE CAR BLOW UP , CAN SOMEONE AT THIS AGENCY HELP WITH ANYOF THESE PROBLEMS, ALSO THERE WAS SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURIES THAT DAY AS WELL.. PLEASE REPLY, I HAVE FOUND A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE ONLINE WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS , ALWAYS 2012 -2013 DODGE JOURNEYS WITH 2.4 LITER ENGINES PLEASE HELP.....

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINTER 2015-2016 I HAD TO REPLACE MY RADIATOR DUE TO A SMALL CRACK THAT DEVELOPED. MY HEAT STARTED TO MALFUNCTION THE FOLLOWING WINTER 2016-2017 IT ONLY WORKED PART OF THE TIME. STARTING IN THE FALL OF 2017 MY HEAT WENT OUT COMPLETELY. WE TOOK IT IN TO HAVE THEM CHECK THE HEATER CORE, COME TO FIND OUT THAT SINCE THE HEATER CORE IS INSTALLED AT AN ANGLE IT DOESN'T DRAIN THE SLUDGE PROPERLY. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT MY AIR CONDITIONING WILL TURN ON AT RANDOM. I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHEN THIS STARTED, BUT IT WILL TURN ON BY ITSELF. JUST THIS MORNING 8/13/18 MY AIR TURNED ON 15 TIMES, AFTER BEING SHUT OFF EVERY TIME. I'M WONDERING IF THIS IS SOMETHING WRONG ELECTRONICALLY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION ON MY 2012 DODGE JOURNEY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, STEAM WAS SEEN COMING FROM THE HOOD AND THE COOLANT WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER (KEN GARFF WEST VALLEY CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM FIAT, 4175 W 3500 S, WEST VALLEY CITY, UT 84120, 801-955-7448) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT BUBBLES WERE FOUND WITHIN THE COOLING SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE SYMPTOMS RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 114,000.

WHILE IN MOTION ON 7/25/18 THE VEHICLE STOPPED RUNNING, BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON, RADIO TURNED OFF, WIPERS STARTED GOING ON, AND LIGHTS DIMMED. TRIED TO RESTART AND WOULDN'T SHOWING BATTERY LIGHT, ABS LIGHT, SYMBOL WITH LIGHTNING BOLT, AND SAID IT COULD NOT DETECT KEY. VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND DIAGNOSED WITH CODE P0622, AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED AN ALTERNATOR. REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR ON 7/28/18. ON 7/29/18, THE CAR WAS RUNNING GOOD, AFTER ABOUT A HALF HOUR THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR SLOWLY STARTED TO SHUT DOWN WHILE IN MOTION WITH MY WIFE AND CHILDREN IN THE CAR. I THEN REPLACED THE BATTERY. AFTER DRIVING 2 MILES THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON, THE ENGINE STARTED TO REV HIGH AND GO LOW, OTHER DASH LIGHTS CAME ON, THE A/C TURNED HOT AND THE CAR STARTED TO COME TO A CRAWL.

HI MY NAME IS [XXX]. I'M WRITING THIS COMPLAINT ON THE BASIS OF MY 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. I HAVE HAD MY 2012 DODGE JOURNEY FOR 2 YEARS AND 3 MONTHS, AND I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE FRONT BRAKE PADS AND RESURFACE ROTORS 3 TIMES IN 2 YEARS. I'VE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE REAR BRAKE PADS AND RESURFACE ROTORS TWICE ON THE BACK 1 RECENTLY BEING 3 DAYS AGO AND NOW I TOOK IT SOMEWHERE ELSE BECAUSE OF NOISE IN THE FRONT BRAKES AND ROTORS AND THEY SAID I NEED FRONT CALIBERS ON BOTH SIDES AND BRAKE HOSE ON BOTH SIDES, AND A BREAK FLUID FLUSH AND NEED MORE BRAKES BECAUSE THEY LOCKED UP AT THAT PLACE TODAY ALSO. I HAVEN'T EVEN PAID CAR PAYMENT THIS MONTH AND I'VE ALREADY PAID 300 DOLLARS FOR BRAKE CALIBER ON THE TRUCK AND PLACE I WENT TO GET A 2ND OPION AND THEY SAID I NEED 652.85 DOLLARS TO GET MY FRONT DONE AND THIS IS 2 DAYS LATER AFTER I GOT MY BACK DONE. I HAVE SPENT AT LEAST 3,000 DOLLARS ON THIS ON GOING PROBLEMS IN THE PAST 2 YEARS. MY 2012 DODGE SUCKS AND I NEED HELP. I'M GETTING ME A LAWYER AND IM FILING ALL KIND OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS CURRENT PROBLEM THAT I DONT HAVE MONEY TO KEEP GETTING FIXED. ALSO ONCE MY BRAKES LOCKED UP ON THE TRUCK ONCE AT THE DEALERSHIP WHICH WAS JULY 11, 2018 THAT COST 300 DOLLARS. I LIVE 30 MINUTES AWAY FROM THE DEALERSHIP, I TAKE I95 TO AND FROM THE DEALERSHIP, THEY WERE ABOUT TO LET ME DRIVE MY TRUCK BACK HOME BUT THE BRAKE HAD LOCKED BEFORE THEY CAN GIVE IT BACK TO ME. QUESTION WHAT IF I WOULD'VE GOT IN MY TRUCK AND DROVE BACK HOME ON I95 AND MY BRAKE WOULD HAVE LOCKED UP??? THANKS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

FAULTY ABS MODULE DUE TO WATER LEAK, RECALLED ON VERY MANY 2012 DODGE JOURNEYS. FOR SOME REASON, NOT RECALLED ON MINE. NOTICED BRAKE LIGHT, ABS LIGHT, AND TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON, I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC DONE BY MY OWN MECHANIC AND CONFIRMED OVER THE PHONE WITH THE DODGE DEALERSHIP THAT I WAS COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. AFTER DROPPING MY CAR OFF AND THE MECHANICS THERE NOT FIXING THE ISSUE, I WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN ACTUALLY WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THAT RECALL. SO MY ABS MODULE IS FAULTY FOR NO OBVIOUS OR APPARENT REASON. I RARELY DRIVE ON HIGHWAYS, I NEVER GOT INTO ANY ACCIDENTS, THE 3 NOTIFICATION LIGHTS AS NOTED ABOVE JUST CAME ON ONE DAY WHEN I TURNED THE CAR ON.

WOW!!!!!!!!!! IS ALL I CAN SAY, I CAN'T BELIEVE THE AMOUNT OF PROBLEMS THIS CAR HAS. WITH THAT BEING SAID I'M HOPING THAT SINCE I FINANCED THIS VEHICLE, THAT THE FINANCE COMPANY WILL HELP ME BECAUSE THIS DEALERSHIP "CLEARLY" SOLD ME A LEMON AND I'M SURE THEY KNOW IT IS. EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL IN MY 2012 JOURNEY STARTED SURGING TO THE POINT WHERE I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING DIE ON ME WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY HERE ON VANCOUVER ISLAND B.C. CANADA. I'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE PUSH BUTTON START ( SOMETIMES 4 ATTEMPTS TO START IT ARE NEEDED ) . I REALLY LOVE THE VEHICLE WITH THE COST TO REPAIR MODERN DAYS CARS, I THINK I WANT TO FIND A WAY TO RETURN IT ( IT'S ONLY BEEN 5 MONTHS SINCE I'VE HAD IT ) . THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT'S PROBABLY THE BATTERY AND OFFERED TO REPLACE IT SO ON THE 27TH OF THIS MONTH, I WILL TAKE IT TO THE DEALERS AND TRY TO RETURN IT ALL TOGETHER. NONE OF US SHOULD BE HAVING ISSUES LIKE THIS AND I'M REALLY DISAPPOINTED WITH DODGE AND HOW THEY'RE "NOT" DOING MUCH TO HELP ANYONE. SADLY THESE VEHICLES ARE "LEMONS" AND SHOULD ALL BE RECALLED AND JUNKED IMO. SORRY TO HEAR SO MANY OTHER'S HAVE PROBLEMS TOO , JUST KEEP YOUR ROADSIDE ASSIST UP TO DATE LOL CAUSE I FEEL WE'RE "ALL" GOING TO NEED IT EVENTUALLY AND WHO WANTS TO BE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE.

WHILE NORMAL DRIVING ON HIGHWAY , MY [ ABS ) LIGHT AND THE SQUIGGLY CAR LIGHT COMES ON . THEN AFTER AWHILE OR SHUTTING CAR OFF AND RESTARTING THE ENGINE , THE LIGHTS GO OFF . THEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN FREQUENTLY ON A DAILY BASIS .

I WAS DRIVING ON VERY BUSY HIGHWAY I-270 IN COLUMBUS OHIO MY CAR STOP ON ME ON THE HIGHWAY THAT HAPPENS BACK IN 2/14/2018 I STARTED IT BACK KEEP GOING LUCKILY NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED THROUGH THAT WEEK CONTINUE DOING IT I TAKE TO SHOP GET IT FIXED.ON 7/3/2018 HE STARTED IT'S AGAIN AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR THAT AM PAYING FOR I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO HE COST MUCH LAST TIME I FIXED IT. HIS MAKING STRANGE NOISE FROM THE DASHBOARD OFTEN I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE NOISE IS COMING FROM AM REALLY SCARED TO PUT MY FAMILY IN ITS BECAUSE THAT OUR FAMILY CAR

MY DODGE WHILE RIDING RADIO COME ON GO OFF THE HEATER TURN ALL THE WAY UP AND IT WANT CRANK MOST TIME YOU GET READY TO GO IT JUST GOES HAYWIRE NOT DEPENDABLE BROUGHT A BATTERY THOUGHT THAT WAS THE PROBLEM BUT NOT

LAST WEEK I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND IT FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL AT A STOP SIGN. THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I STARTED DRIVING AGAIN. WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF. NO BRAKES, OR STEERING. I HAD 3 KIDS IN THE CAR 2 BEING TODDLERS. I WAS ABLE TO PUT IT INTO PARK AND START IT AGAIN TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED TO ME AND NOW I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT. AS FOR ELECTRICAL MY CAR RANDOMLY SOMETIMES JUST CHANGES RADIO STATIONS, U CONNECT DOESN'T WORK. WHEN DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY IT WORKS FOR ABOUT A MONTH AND YOU CAN NOT USE IT ANYMORE.

THEY'RE ARE RECALLS FOR ALL THE ISSUES I'M HAVING WITH MY VEHICLE BUT WHEN I PUT THE VIN IN IT DOESN'T FALL UNDER THE RECALL LIST. I DON'T SEE HOW THEY CAN CHOOSE WHAT CARS TO FIX IF THE SAME PROBLEMS AND PARTS ARE ON ALL THEM. SO I GUESS DODGE IS DEFINITELY NOT THE VEHICLE TO BUY SINCE THEY DON'T STAND BEHIND THEY'RE WORK. I WAS DRIVING AND THE ABS LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING. AND FROM WHAT I'VE BEEN TOLD IT'S THE BRAKE SENSOR AND THAT'S ONE OF THE RECALLS MY VEHICLE VIN DOESN'T FALL UNDER.

WHILE RAINING I HAD WENT TO TURN AND THE POWER STEERING HAD GONE. I HAD LITTLE TO NO CONTROL OVER MY 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. WARNING LIGHTS COME AND MAINLY THE AIRBAG LIGHT WHEN TURNING. THE BATTERY BEEN REPLACED AND I HAD A RECALL PREFORMED FOR LAKE OF WIRING COVERS. I HAVE TAKING IT TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND THEY DO NOT TAKE ME SERIOUS. ALWAYS TRYING TO GET ME TO BUY A NEW CAR. INSTEAD OF FIXING MY CURRENT ONE

TAKATA RECALL I WAS DRIVING HOME WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT I SMELT A BURN ODOR. I WAS JUST A 1/4 OF A MILE FROM HOME SO I DROVE IT HOME. UPON PARKING I NOTICED THERE WAS A SMALL SPOT UNDER MY CAR FORMING. ABOUT THE SIZE OF A QUARTER. CHECK ALL MY FLUIDS AND AND NOTHING WAS LOW. THE NEXT DAY IT STARTED AND RAN OK UNTIL IT WAS RAN FOR ABOUT 15 THEN ONCE AGAIN THE SMELL AND NOW A LOW GROWLING. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND PARKED AT A GAS STATION. I HAD A LOCAL SHOP LOOK AT MY CAR AND THEY DETERMINED MY TRANSFER CASE IS BROKEN. I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY CAR WHEN ACCELERATING IT WOULD PULL SHARPLY TO THE RIGHT WHEN IT SHIFTED GEARS. WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. IT SHOULDN'T TRY AND CHANGE LANES WHEN YOU ACCELERATE. I HAVE ALMOST HIT THE CAR NEXT TO ME JUST BY ACCELERATING. I HAVE ALSO BEEN DRIVING ALONG AND HAVE MY CAR TURN OFF. I HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, PUT IT IN PARK AND START IT AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON FOUR DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THE STALLING HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE THE TRANSFER CASE WAS ON CITY STREET.

MY VEHICLE ODOMETER WOULD JUMP FROM 0 TO 30 WHILE IN MOTION(FOOT ON PEDAL) AND VICE VERSA. WIPERBLADES STARTED ALL ON IT'S ON WITHOUT BEING TURNED ON.

DESPITE MANY MANY MODELS OF THE DODGE JOURNEY VEHICLE BEING COVERED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN #16V273000, HIS VEHICLE ISN'T. THIS TYPE OF MFR DEFECT SHOULD NOT BE PRESENTED LIVE IN TRAFFIC TO AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER. HIS EXACT VEHICLE MODEL AND ENGINE ARE COVERED UNDER THE CAMPAIGN IF IT HAD A BLOCK HEATER?

THE POWER IN MY VEHICLE WENT OUT AND MY BREAKS LOCKED UP, THE CAR JUST DIES. NO HAZARDS OR ANYTHING. MY CAR STOPPED WHILE DRIVING DOWN A HEAVY TRAFFIC STREET. TWO CARS ALMOST HIT MY KIDS AND I. THE CAR DOES COME BACK ON A FEW SECONDS LATER OR SEVERAL MINUTES LATER. THE LONGEST TIME PERIOD WAS WHEN I GOT THE CAR TOWED TO A SHOP SATURDAY. ONCE, WE ARRIVED AT THE SHOP IT HAD COME BACK ON. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME AND I FEAR EVEN AFTER WE GET IT FROM THE SHOP IT WILL NOT BE THE LAST.

WHILE IN MOTION MY CAR CUTT OFF ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS BUT CAME RIGHT BACK ON. LAST NIGHT WHILE IN MOTION MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND DID I NOT TURN BACK ON. I TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY VEHICLE AS FAR AS MAINTENANCE. SO FAR I'VE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY ON A VEHICLE THAT I BOUGHT NEW. I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR AND ALSO REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING. I GOT ALL THE WORK DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT MY CAR.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY THE CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC WHILE ACCELERATING. THE VEHICLE HAD NO INDICATION/WARNING OF ITS SHUT OFF. I HAD MY CHILD IN THE VEHICLE AND COULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I TRIED STARTING THE VEHICLE AGAIN AND IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER. VEHICLE HAS HAD ALL REQUIRED/RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE. VEHICLE HAS 140000 MILES. UNKNOWN OF THE CAUSE OF THE SHUT OFF.

LOSS OF VEHICAL SPEED, GRINDING NOISE & BRAKING, TROUBLE STEERING, LOSE OF CONTROL AROUND A BEND, HUMMING & GRINDIG NOISE FROM ABS INGAGING BRAKING, WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, DRIVING AT 40 MPH SPEED, ON CITY STREETS. ESC (ELCETRONIC STABILTIY CONTROL) WARNING LIGHT COME ON FLASHING INDICATING FAILER OF THE CLOCK SPRING MODUAL.

MY ABS LIGHT ON THE DASH ILLUMINATED A MONTH AFTER PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALER SHUT IT OFF. IT STAYS OFF A DAY, MONTH OR SEVERAL MONTHS. THERE IS NO WAY TO DETERMINE HOW LONG IT WILL REMAIN OFF. EVERY TIME I GET AN OIL CHANGE, IT IS TURNED OFF. LAST WEEK, IT WOULD NOT TURN OFF. I WOULD NOT BE CONCERNED BUT WINTERS IN MICHIGAN REQUIRE THE ABS FUNCTIONING. NOT SURE IF THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH OTHER JOURNEYS BUT BEFORE SPENDING SEVERAL DOLLARS ON REPAIRS, I THOUGH I'D CONTACT YOU.

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN CONSTANTLY STALLING OUT WHILE IN MOTION AND IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. MY VEHICLE ALSO PICKS UP SPEED RANDOMLY WITHOUT EXCELLING THE GAS PEDAL. I HAVE A FAMILY OF FIVE AND DUE TO THIS ISSUE WE ARE HAVING TO BORROW OTHER VEHICLES. ITS SAD THAT DODGE HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE AS I SEE 100'S OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MAKING THE SAME ONLINE REPORTS. I HAVE ONE YEAR LEFT ON THIS VEHICLE AND WAS SO HAPPY UNTIL THIS ISSUE AROSE. I DO NOT WANT TO START OVER WITH A VEHICLE & DUE TO SO MANY COMPLAINTS I FEEL LIKE DODGE SHOULD AT LEAST WAIVE DOWN PAYMENT DEPOSITS TO GET THESE VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD BEFORE A HUGE LAWSUIT IS DONE AGAINST THEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE ENGINE STALLED. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, BUT THE ENGINE DID NOT START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (MIKE TOLER CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM FIAT, LOCATED AT 5340 HWY 70 W, MOREHEAD CITY, NC 28557; (252) 247-2003) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PCM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,465.

THE CAR STALLED ON ME A TOTAL OF 3 TIMES WHEN COMING TO A STOP AT BUSY INTERSECTIONS WITH CARS COMING UP BEHIND ME FAST. I TOOK IT IN A TOTAL OF TWO TIMES, TO NO AVAIL. THEY STATED THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THE SECOND TIME I TOOK IT IN WAS AFTER A WEEK OF VERY SKETCHY ENGINE TROUBLE (WHERE IT ALMOST STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES) AND THE LAST 2 TIMES IT HAD STALLED ON ME. WHEN I GOT IT BACK IT DROVE MUCH BETTER, BUT YET THEY STATED THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. I HAVE A COUSIN WHO HAS A CHRYSLER T&C, SAME YEAR AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED AND AGAIN THEY COULD FIND NOTHING (THEY ARE THE SAME ENGINE.) I HAVE PUT A COMPLAINT INTO DODGE. I HAVE MY PAPERWORK FORM SERVICE AT DODGE, JUST UNABLE TO UPLOAD RIGHT NOW.

WHILE DRIVING ON PUBLIC HIGHWAY THE ENGINE STALLED, STEERING LOCKED AND HAD TO COAST TO A SAFE SPOT. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. 1ST TIME MARCH 2016 MILEAGE 94470, 2ND TIME END OF OCTOBER 2016, CURRENT TIME AUGUST 2017. EACH TIME THE COMPUTER TELLS THE DEALERSHIP IT IS THE CRANK SENSOR WHICH WE REPLACE. THIS IS VERY SCARY AND MY DAUGHTER IS AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. WE HAVE BEEN LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD SO FAR, BUT ARE AFRAID OF IT HAPPENING AGAIN AND BEING IN AN ACCIDENT. WONDERING IF DODGE IS GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS SINCE I SEE MANY OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS POSTED.

MY JOURNEY DOESN'T WANT TO START. ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC IT'S THE MODULE THAT DOESN'T READ THE KEY. WE HAD OUR FAMILY VACATION IN BAJA CALIFORNIA AND WE WERE STRANDED THERE BECAUSE MY 2012 DODGE JOURNEY WOULDN'T START.

ON AUGUST 3RD 2017 I PURCHASED A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY WITH 32000 MILES. ON AUGUST 4 2017 I PICKED THE VEHICLE UP. I NOTICED THAT EVENING THAT THE FRONT RIGHT HEADLIGHT WAS NOT WORKING. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY FIXED IT. ON AUGUST 13, 2017 THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON. I WENT TO FILL THE TIRE BUT IT SEEMED FINE. I FIGURED IT WAS JUST A SENSOR THAT NEEDED TO BE FIXED. AUGUST 15, 2017 THE CHANGE OIL LIGHT CAME ON EVEN THOUGH IT DIDN'T NEED TO BE SERVICED. AUGUST 17, 2017 AS I WENT TO PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE THE CAR SEEMED TO BE PULLING AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. THEN THE ABS LIGHT AND THE MAINTENANCE AWD LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH THE OTHERS. THE CAR WILL HESITATE TO ACCELERATE AND MAKES A KIND OF GRINDING NOISE OFF AND ON. THE LIGHTS DON'T ALWAYS STAY ON AND WILL COME OFF THE SCREENS BUT EVENTUALLY THEY DO COME BACK ON AND GRINDING UNDERNEATH THE CAR STARTS AGAIN.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR SUDDENLY LOSSES POWER AND THE STABILITY LIGHTS AND ABS LIGHTS ALL FLASH. THIS OCCURS WHILE DRIVING ON THE CITY STREET AND HIGHWAY AND TURNING. THE SHOP SAYS THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING IT. THERE ARE LOTS OF CUSTOMERS ON THE INTERNET WITH THE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEMS. THIS DOES NOT OCCUR WHILE SITTING STILL ONLY IN MOTION. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AND WHEN WE CHECK FOR CODES ALL IT SAYS IF ENGINE MISFIRE EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE STABILITY LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT ON.

AM DRIVING DODGE JOURNEY 2012.INITIALLY THE ISSUE WAS INTERMITTENT BUT IT IS PERMANENT NOW. ALL FOUR SWITCHES ARE NOT WORKING. WHEN I PRESS THE SWITCH IT GENERATES CONTINUOUS CLICKING SOUND.

TAMARA RECALL- MY VEHICLE ISN'T LISTED ON THE RECALL, HOWEVER, MY AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND DINGS CONSTANTLY. IT IS WHEN NO ONE IS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND WHEN THERE IS A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN WHEN TURNING CORNERS OR WHEN BACKING UP. ALSO, MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS MESSED UP AS WELL. SOMETIMES MY CHARGING OUTLETS WORK AND SOMETIMES THEY DON'T. THIS BEGAN TO OCCUR AFTER MY MOTOR WAS REPLACED AT 17,000 MILES BY THE DODGE DEALER BECAUSE IT HAD A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THERE WERE HOLES IN THE METAL OF THE MOTOR AND OIL WAS SEEPING OUT OF IT. NOW I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER, THE RADIO, ALL CHARGING PORTS, THE CRUISE CONTROL, AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMING ON RANDOMLY. THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER ALWAYS SAYS EVERYTHING IS FINE WHEN I TAKE IT IN, BECAUSE THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM WHEN IT IS IN THE SHOP.

MY CAR IS EXHIBITING ALL OF THE PROBLEMS THAT OTHER 2012 DODGE JOURNEYS ARE UNDER A RECALL FOR, REGARDING THE ABS, AND TRACTION CONTROL, BUT I'M BEING TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT MY CAR ISN'T COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL. I HAVE RESURCHED AND QUITE A FEW PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE, AND BEING DENIED THE RECALL. THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED. MY CAR HAS 110000 MILES ON IT. I HAD THE BRAKES CHANGED LAST YEAR BY THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY HAVE CONTINUED TO MAKE NOISES LIKE A SPINNING RUSTY WHEEL, AND NOW I HAVE LOST MY ABS, AND TRACTION CONTROL, WHICH THEN TAKES MY CRUISE CONTROL. CARS SHOULD NOT COME APART JUST BECAUSE THEY REACH THE 100000 MILE MARK. I CAN CLEARLY SEE I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON DEALING WITH THIS SAME ISSUE, SO THEY NEED TO LOOK INTO THIS!

DODGE RECALL 2011-2015 2012 DODGE JOURNEY PURCHASED MARCH 25 2017 - TOTAL LOSS AS OF APRIL 24TH 2017 ENGINE BLEW DURING A REVERSE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE WARNING INDICATOR COULD LEAD TO A FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NAPLETON'S RIVER OAKS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (17225 TORRENCE AVE, LANSING, IL 60438, (855) 276-1941), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ABS AND THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER (VILLE PLATTE DODGE, 1320 W MAIN ST, VILLE PLATTE, LA 70586, (337) 363-6627) WHERE IT WAS INDICATED THAT THEY SERVICED THE VEHICLE UNDER A MANUFACTURER RECALL REGARDING THE BRAKES AND WITHIN A WEEK THE CONTACT NOTICED AN ABNORMAL NOISE AND THE BRAKES HAD FAILED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY WHEN APPLIED. THE VEHICLE AS TAKEN TO THE DEALER MORE THAN TWICE AND THEY HAD BEEN UNABLE TO REPLICATE AND DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE AFTER SEVERAL TEST DRIVES. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 15V675000 (ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC), AND 15V431000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) BUT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE DEALER REMEDIED THE RECALL REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

THE POWER ADAPTERS IN THE CENTER CONSOLE HAVE SHORTED OUT THE AUX PORT WORK THE USB AND OTHER PORTS AND LIGHTS DO NOT. ALSO THE SYNC CLIMATE CONTROL WILL UN-SYNC WITH OUT BEING TOUCHED IN THE REAR OR FRONT OF THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V273000 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER (GANLEY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM ON 310 BROADWAY AVE, BEDFORD, OH 877-639-6813) WHO REFUSED TO REMEDY THE RECALL REPAIR BASED UPON WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE IF THE DEALER COULD REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

PURCHASED NEW IN 2012. DODGE JOURNEY SXT THE TIRES DEVELOPED CORD SEPARATION AT 22,000 KM. MANUFACTURER KUMHO. NEITHER CHRYSLER NOR KUMHO WOULD OFFER ANY COMPENSATION. EVEN HAD 4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT DONE THAT CHECKED OUT OK TO MAKE SURE IT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. REPLACED THEM WITH AMERICAN MADE TIRES AND SO FAR NO ISSUES. MY ADVISE TO NEW CAR PURCHASERS IS HAVE TIRES IF OFF SHORE REPLACED WITH DOMESTICS AS PART OF OFFER TO PURCHASE. SECONDLY VEHICLE TO DATE ONLY HAS 37,000 KM AND BRAKE ROTORS DEVELOPED A WARP. PULSATION IS BEING FELT UPON MODERATE BRAKING. I AM NOT ONE TO BE HARD ON BRAKES AND HAVE NEVER HAD TO PANIC STOP THUS NOT HAVING TO OVER HEAT THE BRAKES. NEXT ISSUE THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT ENGAGE WHEN THE BUTTON IS PUSHED. THE CLOCK ON THE RADIO DOES NOT KEEP TIME . THIS IS NOT OUR DAILY DRIVER AND THE WARRANTY HAS RUN OUT TIME WISE. TO DATE ONLY JUST OVER 37,000 KM. I OWN 2 OTHER N.A. VEHICLES BY GM AND FORD 2001 AND 1999 RESPECTIVELY . THE 01 SUNFIRE 455,000 KM 4 SETS OF PADS AND ORIGINAL ROTORS AND DRUMS AND F150 WITH 157,000 2ND SET OF PADS AND ORIGINAL ROTORS SO YOU CAN SEE IT IS NOT A POOR DRIVING STYLE. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH CHRYSLER PRODUCTS . HAVE TO TAKE THE JOURNEY BACK TO DEALER FOR SERVICE TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE AND WILL BE GETTING HOLD OF CHRYSLER REP, THIS ONE IS MORE IN THE SHOP THAN IN MY DRIVEWAY THANKS TO GM AND FORD FOR KEEPING ME ROLLING.IF NO POSITIVE RESULTS FROM DEALER OR CHRYSLER I WILL NOT RECOMMEND THEIR PRODUCT TO ANYONE FROM MY EXPERIENCES. I HOPE SOME ONE AT CHRYSLER READS THIS COMMENT.I WOULD CERTAINLY LIKE TO HEAR THEIR RESPONSE. HAVING READ MANY FORUMS ONLY TO FIND OUT MANY ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THE SAME VEHICLES.

THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT, ABS WARNING LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS COME ON RANDOMLY. SOMETIMES THE BRAKES FAIL TO ENGAGE WHEN THE ABS LIGHT IS LIT AND THE VEHICLE MAKES A WEIRD NOISE (SOUNDS LIKE GRINDING SOUND). YESTERDAY MY WIFE WAS UNABLE TO STOP AT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL AND WENT THROUGH A RED LIGHT WHEN THE BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK. THIS MODEL AND YEAR ARE UNDER A RECALL R61 (HHTSA 15V675000) BUT CHRYSLER SUPPORT SAYS OUR VIN IS NOT COVERED. TURNS OUT THAT THE MANUFACTURE DATE OF OUR CAR IS ABOUT 6 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE REPORTED RECALL MANUFACTURING DATES. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT THEY REFUSE TO EVEN LOOK AT OR DIAGNOSE WITHOUT CHARGING US TO DO SO. IT DOES NOT TAKE A ROCKET SCIENTIST TO SEE THAT OUR VEHICLE IS EXHIBITING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS AND SYMPTOMS AS DETAILED IN THE ABOVE RECALL. I GUESS THEY WANT SOMEONE TO DIE BEFORE TAKING ACTION. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT SAFETY ITEMS LIKE ABS ARE COVERED FOR 5 YRS OR 100000 MILES AND OUR VEHICLE IS UNDER THAT DESCRIPTION AS IT HAS 86,000 MILES AND WAS BUILT 10/2011

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

DRIVING AT LOW SPEED, DURING LEFT HAND TURN VEHICLE ENGINE STALLED OUT AND POWER STEERING CEASED FUNCTIONING. POWER TO RADIO, LIGHTS,ETC. REMAINED FUNCTIONING. UPON COMING TO STOP IN SNOWBANK, PLACED VEHICLE IN PARK, PRESSED IGNITION BUTTON AND VEHICLE RESTARTED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE CONTACT STATED THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS RELEASED AND REAPPLIED UNTIL THE VEHICLE FINALLY STOPPED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING NORMALLY. SEVERAL DAYS LATER, WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS HAVING A FUSE BOX FAILURE. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER BECAUSE THERE WAS A RECALL; HOWEVER, THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE UNKNOWN.

ALTERNATOR IS DEFECTIVE RUINING BOTH THE BATTER AND HAVING TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY MULTIPLE TIMES. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE ALREADY IN JANUARY 2014 AND APRIL 2015. AND AGAIN NOW MARCH 2017. ON A ROAD TRIP MY WIFE AND KIDS WENT ON IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND ALMOST CONTROL. SHE WAS ABLE TO PULL IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. SHE TURNED THE CAR OFF COMPLETELY THEN TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT STARTED. THE DROVE ANOTHER HOUR AND THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON SHORTLY AFTER THE VEHICLE POWERED OFF AGAIN. SHE THE CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND THEY BROUGHT IT HOME. WE HAD TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY. THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM AS TO NOT GET STRANDED AND ONCE AGAIN REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY. THE AUTO PARTS GUY INSURED ME THAT THEY HAD FIXED THE PROBLEM WITH THE NEW ALTERNATORS. CLEARLY NOT. WE JUST FINISHED OUT 3RD REPLACEMENT OF BOTH ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY AFTER A LONG ROAD TRIP WE HAD TO BUY A BATTERY IN THE MIDDLE OF TO GET HOME. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSE. I SPOKE WITH THE DODGE DEALERSHIP ORIGINALLY AND THEY WERE NO HELP AND SAID THEY WOULD HAVE JUST REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY AS WELL. ## VIN PASSED ## DODGE JOURNEY 2012 ##

I'M EXPERIENCING AN ODOR THAT IS COMING THROUGH MY VENTS, IT SMELLS LIKE ANTIFREEZE BUT THEN THE ODOR CHANGED AND IT SMELLED LIKE ANESTHESIA AND HAD AN EFFECT LIKE IT AS WELL. I WAS DRIVING ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK AND HAD THE AIR-CONDITIONER RUNNING (SUMMER 2016) MY EYES STARTED TO GET BLURRY AND THE SMELL WAS TAKING OVER ME, I SAID TO MYSELF I THINK I'M ABOUT TO PASS OUT ( IT WAS A FEELING LIKE I WAS GOING UNDER TO PREPARE FOR SURGERY) I QUICKLY LET THE WINDOWS DOWN TO AIR OUT THE CAR. AND THEN I WAS FINE. I DID NOT RUN THE AIR THE REST OF THE SUMMER. NOW THAT IT IS WINTER I WAS RUNNING MY DEFROST AND THE SAME SMELL WAS THERE SO I QUICKLY DEFROST AND AIRED OUT THE CAR. ALSO WITH IT BEING COLD AND TURNING ON THE HEAT I STILL GET THAT ANTI-FREEZE SMELL. SOMETIMES WHEN I AM NOT RUNNING ANYTHING THROUGH THE VENTS A WHIFF OF THE SMELL COMES THROUGH. I HAD MY CAR SERVICED AND LOOKED AT BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND COULD NOT DETECT THE FOUL SMELL. EACH TIME I AND THESE ENCOUNTERS I WAS DRIVING BOTH IN THE CITY AND ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS STARTED IN THE SUMMER OF 2016 AND IT IS STILL HAPPENING AS OF 3/17/17

EVERY 3 TO 4 MONTHS I HAVE TO GET NEW BREAKS BECAUSE THE BREAKS START GRINDING SO BAD.

I WAS DRIVING MY SUV AND WHILE DRIVING MY TRUCK STALLED AND I COULD NOT TURN IT OFF FOR SEVERAL MEANS. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND MY PUSH START BUTTON WOULD NOT LET ME TURN IT OFF TO RESTART. AFTER 10 MINS IT LET ME RESTART. I HAD IT TOWED TO A CAR REPAIR SHOP AND THEY CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG . THE FIRST SHOP TOLD ME THAT MY OIL WAS MIXING WITH MY COOLANT AND VISA VERSA . I THEN TOOK IT TO THE MAIN SHOP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND THEY SAY IT'S NOTHING WRONG. I JUST DROP MY KIDS OFF MOMS BEFORE THIS HAPPEN AND I JUST GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE, THE POSSIBILITY OF IT CUTTING OFF WHILE MY KIDS ARE IN THE VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNED A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, IT FAILED TO RESPOND. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO THE DRIVER SIDE OF ANOTHER VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, AN ODOR EMITTED INTO THE VEHICLE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND NOTICED SMOKE AND LIQUID COMING FROM THE UPPER RADIATOR, WHICH MELTED THE VALVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 11V487000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE UPPER RADIATOR HOSE REPLACEMENT CAUSED THE ENGINE TO FAIL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 114,000.

IN AN ACCIDENT ON ACCESS RD OF IH 35 AND A CAR ON A SIDE STREET DID NOT STOP AT THE STOP SIGN THEY WENT THROUGH IT AND T BONED ME . THE WHOLE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR WAS DAMAGED. MY DAUGHTER WAS IN THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR AND NEITHER OF THE CURTAIN AIR BAGS DEPLOYED.

WE HAD ISSUES WITH THE DIFFERENTIAL, UPDATES NEEDED AND DODGE HAS NO CLUE. BUT NOW THIS...WE HAVE A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY THAT IS ACTING VERY STRANGE. IT STARTED WITH THE HEADLIGHTS BEING ON, EVEN WHEN THEY WERE OFF (WE DO NOT HAVE AUTOMATIC LIGHTS)...THEN AFTER THE CAR WAS OFF, THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD FLASH ON AND OFF EVERY 10-30 SECONDS, WE WOULD HAVE TO UNDO THE BATTERY TO KEEP IT FROM DIEING. WE REPLACED THE HEADLIGHTS SWITCH AND IT STILL DOES AND ADDED A SYMPTOM. WHEN MY HUSBAND WOULD MANUALLY LOCK THE DOORS, IT WOULD UNLOCK BY ITSELF. WE WERE TOLD IT WAS THE TIPM WHICH HAS TO BE DONE BY DODGE. NOT SURE WHAT IT WILL DO NEXT!

MY VEHICLE STARTED KNOCKING AFTER MY SECOND OIL CHANGE. I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TO LOOK AT IT AND THEY TOLD ME EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I ASKED THEM MORE THAN ONCE OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS WHEN I GOT REGULAR OIL CHANGES. THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE. THEN IN 2016 MY VEHICLE STARTED WITH A KNOCKING AND RANDOM MISFIRES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT MY CAMS WERE BLOWN, MY PISTONS WERE NOT WORKING AND MY LIFTERS WERE BAD. MY CAR IS FOUR YEARS OLD. ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS CULMINATE IN NO POWER TO MY ENGINE AND A POSSIBLE SEIZURE OF MY ENGINE. I AM REQUESTING THIS BE LOOKED INTO.

CRANKSHAFT SENSOR AND 2 CAMSHAFT SENSORS HAD TO BE REPLACED. GOING UPHILL ON A BRIDGE THAT I TRAVEL 2X A DAY FOR 365/YEAR, IT DECIDED TO CUT OFF WHILE GOING UP THE BRIDGE, I WENT FROM 52 MPH TO 0 MPH AND COASTED TO THE FOOT OF THE BRIDGE, IT WOULD SPUTTER WHEN TRYING TO TURN ON AND THEN AFTER 20 - 30 MINS, IT TURNED ON AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED AND I DROVE HOME. THE NEXT DAY TRIED TO DRIVE OVER THE BRIDGE AND IT DID THE SAME THING GOING UP HILL. IT JUST STOPPED. MECHANIC SAYS I HAD 2 BAD CAMSHAFT SENSORS AND 1 BAD CRANKSHAFT SENSOR. THE CAR STILL HICCUPS AND SHUTTERS AND ACTS LIKE IT IS GOING TO CUT OFF AGAIN AS I GO UPHILL WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER ON. I REALLY BELIEVE IN MY HEART THE AIR CONDITIONING IS DRAINING THE POWER AND SOMEHOW CAUSING ADVERSE AFFECTS ELSEWHERE, I JUST DONT KNOW HOW I CAN PROVE THE CORRELATION. I DON'T FEEL LIKE REPLACING THOSE SENSORS IS THE END ALL TO THE STORY. I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDERGOING A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, THE TECHNICIAN NOTICED THAT THERE WAS SLUDGE IN THE RADIATOR.

THE UCONNECT TOUCH SCREEN SYSTEM WENT BLANK AND THE UCONNECT TOUCH HAND CONTROLS ALONG WITH THE SWITCH BANK CONTROLS STOPPED WORKING. THIS MEANS NO HEAT OR AC CONTROL AND NO RADIO/VOLUME CONTROL. EVEN THOUGH THIS HAPPENED IN MID SUMMER, IF IT HAD HAPPENED IN WINTER, THERE IS NO CONTROL OF DEFROST SYSTEM AND A POTENTIAL DRIVING HAZARD. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAULTY TELEMATICS GATEWAY MODULE AND THE WHOLE RADIO SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE REMOVED TO REPLACE IT. COST $800 TO FIX!

CAR HAS PERIODICALLY STALLED WHILE DRIVING 10+ TIMES OVER THE LAST SIX MONTHS. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ATTEMPTED FIXING A COUPLE OF ITEMS...ONE WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND ONE COST OVER $200 TO REPAIR. YET, THE CAR STALLED AGAIN TWO TIMES A MONTH AFTER THE LAST REPAIR. STALLING USUALLY HAPPENS WHILE SLOWING DOWN AND ABOUT TO MAKE A TURN. IT HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES WHILE PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY, WHICH HAS A SLIGHT INCLINE.

WHILE STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY I COMPLAINED THAT THE REAR ROTORS WERE SCORED. REAR BRAKE PADS ARE TOTALLY WORN OUT, AFTERMARKET PADS WERE SUGGESTED, AND PUT ON AT MY EXPENSE OF $270.00. CAR HAS 30,076 MILES ON IT. I WAS TOLD ON 29SEP14 THAT ONCE WARN AND SCORED REAR ROTORS SCORING AGAIN WAS NORMAL. CAR HAS 41,124 MILES ON IT. LAST WEEK CAR WAS AGAIN BROUGHT IN, THE REAR RIGHT REAR BRAKE PAD WAS GONE.I BROUGHT THE CAR TO MARTINS DODGE IN UNION GROVE TO HAVE THE WORK DONE AGAIN. I DID NOT WANT THE FIRST DEALER TO WORK ON THE CAR ANYMORE. CHRYSLER WANTS ME TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS FIRST AT MY EXPENSE. THEN THEY WILL REIMBURSE FOR WHAT THEY THINK IS CORRECT. ESTIMATED REPAIRS ARE OVER $900. SINCE LAST TIME I ONLY DROVE THE CAR 8,000 MILES. WILL THIS HAPPEN TO ME AGAIN IN ANOTHER FEW MONTHS.

I PURCHASED A USED 2012 DODGE JOURNEY IN SEPTEMBER 2015 FROM LAKESHORE CHRYSLER DODGE AND JEEP OF SLIDELL, LOUISIANA. WE HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE DRIVING OFF THE LOT. FOUND OUT AFTER PURCHASE THAT THE CAR WAS NOT INSPECTED PRIOR TO DEALERSHIP RESELLING IT. BEFORE I EVEN GOT HOME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND REPORTED ISSUES. THEY DID THE OIL CHANGE AND INSPECTED THE CAR AND SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE IT WAS "NORMAL NOISES" HOWEVER AFTER COMPLAINING AND COMPLAINING THE WERE ABLE TO LOCATE AND FIX THE ISSUE WITH THE SHIFTING NOISES AND JOLTING. WE ARE STILL EXPERIENCING THE "NORMAL NOISE" OF THREE CLICKS WHEN THE ENGINE TURNS OFF. WE HAVE NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL/COMPUTER ISSUES. THE AIR, RADIO, TOUCH SCREEN, LIGHTS, ALL GOT OFF RANDOMLY. THE SYSTEM WILL NOT RESPOND EVEN IF THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON. IT WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TO. WE HAVE ISSUES WHERE THE CAR ACCELERATES FASTER ON ITS OWN HAVE TO BREAK WHILE CAR STILL TRIES TO ACCELERATE. WE HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE IN THE SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE THE PURCHASE AND THEY "CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE" SO THEY CAN NOT FIX IT. I HAVE PROVIDED NUMEROUS VIDEOS SHOWING AND PROVING THE ELECTRICAL/COMPUTER ISSUES WE ARE HAVING. DODGE REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING TO FIX THE SITUATION. EVERYTHING IS AT OUR EXPENSE. WANTS US TO PAY 150 DIAGNOSTIC FEE ON TOP OF HAVING TO GET RENT-A-CAR FOR THE DURATION OF TIME THE VEHICLE IS IN THE SHOP. THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD MY CAR ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. ONE TIME THEY HAD IT FOR OVER 18 DAYS AND SAID "NORMAL NOISE" AND "COULD NOT DUPLICATE" HOWEVER OUT OF THE 18 DAYS THEY ONLY DROVE THE CAR 35 MILES. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. IT SCARES ME JUST TO DRIVE TO THE LOCAL GROCERY WHICH WE GOTTEN STUCK AND HAD TO HAVE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. I AM SO SCARED & TRAPPED IN THIS CAR WITH NO WAY OUT. CONTACTING A LAWYER THIS CAN NOT BE LEGAL TO SELL DEFECTS.

WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND RADIO AND HEATER WENT OFF. SHE TOOK IT TO OREILLYS AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE ALTENATOR. I REPLACED THE ALTENATOR AND THE HEATER OR DEFROSTER STILL WILL NOT WORK AND THE BATTERY LIGHT IS STILL ON. WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE COMPUTER WITH THIS CAR. THE TURN SIGNALS WERE NOT WORKING CORRECTLY WHEN YOU TURNED ON THE LEFT SIGNAL THE RIGHT SIGNAL WOULD COME ON. REALLY DISSAPOINTED IN THIS CAR AT THIS TIME AND DODGE

ON NOVEMBER 11,2015, WE WERE TRAVELING FROM HOME TO A DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT FOR A SURGICAL PROCEDURE. WE WERE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE 65, IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, GOING AROUND 70 MPH WHEN VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED, ENGINE MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON, AND VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER. WE WERE IN THE RIGHT LANE AND ABLE TO COAST OFF THE HIGHWAY AND AVOID BEING HIT. VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP THAT SOLD IT. THEY WERE ABLE TO CRANK THE VEHICLE AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. BECAUSE OF SAFETY CONCERNS WE PUSHED THEM TO CHECK FURTHER AND THEY THEN SAID THERE WERE A COUPLE OF SENSORS THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED (CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR & CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR). WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING THOSE. THE VEHICLE IS A FAMILY VEHICLE THAT IS USED REGULARLY TO TRANSPORT CHILDREN AND OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS. THERE IS A DEFINITE SAFETY CONCERN WITH A VEHICLE THAT WOULD SUDDENLY LOSE POWER, WITH NO WARNING, AND COULD LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. DODGE SHOULD RECALL UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED.

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WHICH CONTROLS YOUR ABILITY TO TURN ON RADIO, TAPE PLAYER, AND HEATING/AIR CONDITIONING HAS GONE OUT. I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN NOVEMBER 2013, AND IT'S UNFORTUNATE FOR ME THAT I DID. ANOTHER FAILURE OF THIS AUTOMOBILE IS WHEN IT RAINS HEAVILY, MY BACK DOORS FILL WITH RAIN WATER. YOU CAN HEAR IT INSIDE OF THE DOORS. IT MAKES ME BELIEVE THAT THE CAR WAS IN SOME TYPE OF FLOODING CONDITION. MY BACK WHEEL ON THE DRIVE'S SIDE ALSO HAS A BROWNISH-RED TINGE THAT APPEARS TO BE RUST. I AM DISAPPOINTED. DID I SEE THE CORRECT REPORT OF THE RELIABILITY OF THE CAR? WHEN YOU PLACE THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND START, OR USE ANY OF THE MODES ON THE IGNITION, THE SCREEN WAS CONSTANTLY STATING, "LOADING," AND IT TURNED BLACK AND IS OUT. THIS HAPPENED BEFORE IN 2014 AND I THOUGHT THAT MAYBE IT WAS JUST A GLITCH, BUT IT ISN'T.

A RECALL WAS SUBMITTED ON JULY 28, 2015. I LOOKED ONLINE TODAY. I HAVE BEEN SMELLING A SMOKE SMELL, I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL AUGUST 15, 2015 STATING THE ENGINE BEAUTY COVER ON MY VEHICLE MAY DETACH FROM THE ENGINE AND COME IN CONTACT WITH CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND START A FIRE WITHOUT WARNING. THE PART TO FIX THE PROBLEM IS NOT AVAILABLE AND I WILL BE CONTACTED AT ANOTHER TIME WHEN A REPAIR PART IS AVAILABLE. I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY SMALL CHILDREN AND MYSELF. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. IT IS PARKED IN THE GARAGE. ...UPDATED 11/04/15 *BF

MY HUSBAND AND I WERE TRAVELING UP OUR HILL ON FROM OUR HOUSE. IT IS VERY STEEP, LIKE CRESTING THE TOP OF A ROLLERCOASTER. ONCE WE WERE AT THE TOP COMING OVER THE TOP OUR BRAKES GAVE OUT. MY HUSBAND KEPT PUSHING THEM TO THE FLOOR AND STILL NOTHING WORKED. WE HAD TO ROUND A BAD CURVE TOWARDS THE BOTTOM AND HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID HITTING A CAR COMING UP THE ROAD. IN DOING SO MY HUSBAND TRIED TO KEEP CONTROL OF THE CAR BUT ENDED UP VEERING OFF THE ROAD INTO SOMEONE'S YARD WHERE WE HIT A TREE HEAD ON THEN SKIDDED ACROSS THEIR DRIVEWAY AND CRASHED THROUGH THEIR PRIVACY FENCE AND LANDED NOSE DOWN INTO THEIR INGROUND SWIMMING POOL. AND AT NO POINT DID OUR AIRBAGS DEPLOY. WE WERE WEARING SEAT BELTS BUT I ACTUALLY HAD TO GO THE LOCAL URGENT CARE FOR HEAD INJURY AND MY HUSBAND IS SEEING A DR FOR BACK INJURY. OUR HEADRESTS HAD A MECHANISM THAT DEPLOYS IN ACCIDENTS. THAT WAS ALL THAT WORKED. THANK GOD NOBODY WAS IN THE POOL BECAUSE THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. THE POLICE WERE CALLED AND A REPORT FILED.

I WAS USING THE SCISSOR JACK PROVIDED WITH THE VEHICLE TO REMOVE A FLAT LEFT FRONT TIRE WHILE PARKED IN MY GARAGE. THE FLOOR WAS FLAT AND COMPLETELY DRY AND FREE OF ANY OILY CONDITIONS. THE SHIFT LEVER WAS IN PARK, THE BRAKE SET.I POSITIONED THE JACK AS OUTLINED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. I THEN BROKE THE 5 LUG NUTS LOOSE PRIOR TO RAISING THE VEHICLE. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT USING THE JACK AS IT SEEMED TO BE STRAINING TO RAISE THE SUV. I FINALLY GOT IT RAISED TO A LEVEL TO CLEAR THE TIRE FROM THE FLOOR SURFACE. I REMOVED THE TIRE AND JUST AS I DID THIS THE JACK COLLAPSED AND THE VEHICLE DROPPED. THE FENDER WELL JUST BARELY MISSED CRUSHING MY HAND. I TOOK PHOTOS OF THE CONDITION AFTER IT FELL. I REMOVED THE JACK AND THE FRAME WAS TWISTED AND THE LIFTING SCREW WAS BENT. THE JACK DOES NOT HAVE ANY LOAD RATING OR CERTIFICATION MARKINGS. ALL IT SAYS IS 'MADE IN MEXICO' THE FOOT PRINT PAD IT SETS ON LOOKS TOO SMALL TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE SUPPORT. I BROUGHT THE INCIDENT UP TO CHRYSLER REPRESENTATIVES AND THEY JUST MADE WHAT SEEMED TO BE ARBITRARY REMARKS THE ' I MUST HAVE DONE SOME THING WRONG' IN THE PROCESS.MY VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER THE ORIGINAL FACTORY WARRANTY BUT THEY SAID I WILL HAVE TO PAY A $500.00 DEDUCTIBLE. IF THIS JACK FAILED ON A FLAT CONCRETE FLOOR IMAGINE TRYING TO USE THIS DEVICE AND A ANGULAR, GRAVELED ROAD SHOULDER. THIS COULD LEAD TO SOMEONE BEING SERIOUSLY INJURED IN THE FUTURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, SMOKE WAS PRESENT COMING FROM THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE LINE FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,974.

I DROVE MY VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 30 MILES, UPON ARRIVING HOME AND REMOVING MY CHILDREN FROM THE CAR I SMELT SOMETHING BURNING. I COULDN'T LOCATE WHERE THE SMELL WAS COMING FROM AND JUST DECIDED TO KEEP AN EYE ON IT. ON THE 21ST OF JULY AGAIN AFTER DRIVING A DECENT AMOUNT, MAYBE 25 MILES, AND REMOVING MY CHILDREN FROM THE CAR I SMELT BURNING. WHEN GOING TO THE PASSANGER SIDE OF MY VEHICLE THE SMELL WAS STRONGER, AT THAT TIME I NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM MY REAR PASSANGER TIRE AREA. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO TWO SEPERATE MECHANICS, INCLUDING THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED MY CAR AND HAVE BEEN TOLD DIFFERENT THINGS AS TO WHAT EXACTLY IS WRONG. I ALSO HAPPEN TO BE 4 DAYS AWAY FROM MY WARRANTY EXPIRING AND HAVE A FEELING THAT MAY BE CAUSING THE DIFFERENCE IN DIAGNOSIS. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH CHRYSLER DIRECTLY AND ALSO HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT MY WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER ANYTHING IF THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE BY TUESDAY (THE 28TH AND LAST VALID DAY OF MY WARRANTY) EVEN THOUGH THE COMPLAINT AND DIAGNOSIS HAD BEEN MADE TODAY. I HAVE BEEN AWARE OF A RECALL ON OTHER 2012 DODGE JOURNEY'S BUT ACCORDING TO VARIOUS RECALL INFORMATION SITES MY VEHICLE DOES NOT FALL IN THE MANUFACTURING DATE RANGE WHICH I DO NOT BELIEVE SHOULD BE EXCLUDED SINCE IT IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AS WHAT THE RECALL WAS PUT OUT FOR. BETWEEN BOTH MECHANICS I HAVE BEEN TOLD BRAKE PADS NEED REPLACED, ROTORS NEED RESURFACED AND/OR REPLACED, AND ONE OF THE MECHANICS EXPRESSED THAT THERE WAS EITHER A CALIPER ISSUE OR BRAKE LINE ISSUE WHICH WOULD BE CAUSING THE BURNING AND SMOKING (MY VEHICLE IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND ONLY HAS 24K MILES ON IT.) DODGE HAS REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS ISSUE WHICH IS COVERED BY MY WARRANTY AND THE WARRANTY WILL NOT PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT UNLESS DODGE SAYS THE CALIPER/BRAKE LINE HAS AN ISSUE.

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE CAR WHEN THE ABS LIGHT LIT UP AND NEVER TURNED OFF. THEN THE ADD SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR BARELY STOPS LIKE THE BRAKES ARE JUST GIVEN OUT. MIND YOU THERE IS LESS THAN 30K MILES ON IT.

I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW ON JULY 23,2012, AND ALMOST IMMEDIATELY THERE WAS A LOUD GROANING NOISE FROM THE FRONT END, ALSO STARTED TO PULL TO THE RIGHT. MY FIRST DEALER CONTACT WAS ON SEPT 4, 2012 AND WORKED ON THE BRAKES, AND THIS SOMEWHAT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM FOR ABOUT A WEEK. THE DEALER HAS WORKED ON THE STEERING AND BRAKES A TOTAL OF 8 TIMES, REPLACING THE BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES, ALSO DEGLAZEING AND LUBRICATING AND WHATEVER, EACH TIME IT WORKED FOR A WEEK OR SO. THE LAST TIME , APRIL 29, 2014, A COMPLETE BRAKE JOB WAS DONE ON THE REAR BRAKES, A FRONT END ALIGNMENT, AND REPAIR THE FRONT BRAKES. THIS COST ME $499.00. MILEAGE IS 46700. THEY ALSO REBUILT THE ENGINE DUE TO HEAD AND VALVE FAILURE. AS OF MAY 25, 2015 IT IS AGAIN MAKING THE NOISE AND PULLING HARD TO THE RIGHT. I THINK CHRYSLER SHOULD TAKE THIS CAR BACK. VIN [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

DRIVING TYPICALLY LESS THAN 25 MPH AND CAR SHUTS DOWN. WHICH MAKES ME HAVE TO BRAKE, PLACE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND START AGAIN THEN SWITCH TO DRIVE. I TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP AND BECAUSE IT DIDN'T SHOW ON THE ELECTRICAL TESTER THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUES SHUTTING OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR.

MY RADIO WILL NOT CHANGE STATIONS OR INPUTS FROM SATELLITE,AM,FM,OR CD. SOMETIMES IT WILL TURN ALL THE WAY UP AND I AM UNABLE TO TURN IT DOWN OR OFF OR ANYTHING. I'VE EVEN PULLED THE CAR OVER AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF BUT, WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON THE VOLUME REMAINED UP AND I HAD TO DRIVE HOME VERY DISTRACTED. THE WORST PART IS THAT IT WILL JUMP STATIONS AT THIS LOUD VOLUME AND NOTHING CAN BE DONE TO FIX IT. EVERYTIME I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAY THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIND ANY PROBLEM..

STUCK IN THE MIDDLE ON NOWHERE TWICE WITH 2 YOUNG CHILDREN! STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS ON THE HIGHWAY ON MY WAY HOME. STARTED FINE IN THE AM BEFORE LEAVING FAMILIES HOUSE. AFTER STOPPING FOR GAS I WAS DRIVING THE JOURNEY WHEN IT LOST ELECTRICAL POWER WHILE DRIVING HOME CAUSING RADIO SHUT OFF, LIGHTS ON DASH CONTINUED TO FLASH (ABC, TRACTION CONTROL,AIRBAG) WAS ABLE TO GET HOME AND VEHICLE RPM'S WENT TO 4000 AND SHUT ITSELF COMPLETELY OFF. 3RD INCIDENT WAS ON 4/6/15 DRIVING VEHICLE BACK TO TEXAS TO AUTO SHOP TO BE WORKED ON, COMPLETELY SHUT OFF 4 TIMES WITHIN A 20 MILE DRIVE AND RPM'S CONTINUED TO JUMP EACH TIME BEFORE SHUTTING OFF BETWEEN 4000-5000. *TR

I WAS ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE. THE CAR WOULD NOT GO. I ENSURED THAT THE SAFETY BRAKE WAS NOT SET AND THAT THE CAR WAS INDEED IN REVERSE. THE CAR WAS IN REVERSE AND THE SAFETY BRAKE WAS NOT SET. I GAVE THE CAR A LITTLE EXTRA ACCELERATION AND IT FELT LIKE I RAN OVER SOMETHING. I LEARNED THAT THE REAR BRAKES SEIZED. I'M NOT SURE, BUT I BELIEVE THAT THIS CAN COMPROMISE THE BRAKING ABILITY OF THE CAR. IT APPEARS THAT THERE IS AN INDENTATION IN THE ROTORS FROM WHERE THE BRAKE PADS 'SET.' I HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH THE CAR WHEN THE MILEAGE WAS BETWEEN 3,000 TO 5,000 MILES AND THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE REAR PADS/ROTORS. *TR

VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AFTER WORK. STARTED FINE IN THE AM BEFORE GOING TO WORK. AFTER WORK, AFTER 3 TIMES OF TRYING TO START THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED TO DRIVE OVER TO AUTOZONE TO HOOK UP TO A COMPUTER.

NOW THE PROBLEMS HAVE INCREASED, MY SLIP RESISTANCE IS NOT WORKING, I AM HEARING ALL SORTS OF NOISES UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY WHEN TURNING. ALSO, I AM USING MORE GAS MILEAGE THAN WHAT IS TOLD ABOUT THE VEHICLE, TO BE HONEST IF I HAD IT TO DO OVER AGAIN I WOULD HAVE NEVER TRADED MY TRUCK IN ON THIS VEHICLE. BUT, NOW I AM STUCK WITH IT AND THE PAYMENTS EVEN WHEN IT COMES TO THE POINT OF THE NEED OF PARKING THE VEHICLE BECAUSE I WILL NOT RISK MY FAMILIES LIFE IN A VEHICLE THAT HAS AS MANY PROBLEMS HAS THIS ONE IS HAVING. *TR

FIRST WAS THE BACK BRAKES AND RIGHT ROUTER HAVE HAD TO REPLACE IT 3 TIMES SINCE 2012 .. WE WHERE LEAVING A BP WHEN WE WERE HIT ON THE SIDE BACK PASSENGER DOOR AND BACK PANEL SO BAD THE DOOR WAS STUCK AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY WAS SO SCARED FOR MY KIDS. *TR

2012 DODGE JOURNEY HERO AWD HATCHBACK SHOWED A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THEN LOST ALL POWER AND BLACKED OUT. BATTERY WAS REPLACED, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AGAIN CAME ON AND IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS BLACKED OUT (ZERO POWER) AGAIN. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DODGE AND DURING A 2 WEEK PERIOD IN THE SHOP THE ALTERNATOR, BATTERY, TWO O2 SENSORS AND THE PCM WERE REPLACED IN AN ATTEMPT TO FIX THE ISSUE CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO OWNERS AND IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS BLACKED OUT WITH TOTAL POWER LOSS AGAIN. ISSUE OCCURED ONCE WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. DODGE HAS BEEN UNABLE TO LOCATE A SOLUTION. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT AND THE CARGO DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE CAR ALARM INDEPENDENTLY ACTIVATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,050.

ENGINE SHUT DOWN WHILE ENTERING HIGHWAY BUT ALL LIGHTS STILL WORK, I WAS BARLEY ABLE TO COAST TO SIDE. ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL IS THE ISSUE ACCORDING TO MY DASH SYMBOLS. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND SEE LOTS OF THESE PROBLEMS. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED 3 TIME IN 2 DAYS. WHEN I TRY TO RESTART I GET THE ETC ERROR SYMBOL ON MY DASH, CAR JUST KEEPS TRYING TO TURN OVER BUT CANNOT. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO START THE ENGINE USUALLY AFTER 15 MIN OF SITTING. I HAVE NOT WENT TO THE DEALER YET. I WAS HOPING TO FIND A RECALL SINCE MY WARRANTY WAS ONLY FOR 36000 MILES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR ENDED OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE AND NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE SHOULDER AND THE PASSENGER SUSTAINED CUTS IN THE HANDS. BOTH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS AWAITING INSPECTION FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000.

THE 2012 JOURNEY WAS BEING USED TO JUMPSTART A 1997 F 350 FORD TRUCK. THE F 350 WAS NOT RUNNING WHILE THE JOURNEY WAS. JUMPER CABLES WERE ATTACHED CORRECTLY. THE WOMEN JUMPING THE CAR WENT INTO THE HOUSE FOR A MOMENT WHEN SHE HEARD AN EXPLOSION AND THE ROAR OF THE FIRE. THE ENTIRE FRONT OF THE CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THE WINDSHIELD WAS BLOW OUT AND FLAMES REACHED 12 FEET INTO THE AIR. AFTER THE FIRE TRUCK PUT OUT THE BLAZE, THE HOOD HAD VAPORIZED . THE CAR WAS REPORTED AS A TOTAL LOSS BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE HEAT FROM THE FIRE WAS SO INTENSE IT IGNITED THE F 350. IT TOO WAS DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS. I DO NOT KNOW THE CAUSE OF THE EXPLOSION IN THE JOURNEY. THE FIRE CAPTAINS REPORT STATES THE ORIGIN OF THE FIRE WAS THE 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. I BELIEVE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE. I ALSO BELIEVE THAT SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH WOULD OCCUR IF A PERSON IS NEARBY OR SITTING IN THE VEHICLE. *TR

THE FIRST TIME I TOOK FOR INSPECTION AT DEALERSHIP, SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ON. THEY SAID CODE WAS 6TH CYLINDER AND RESET, AND HAD TO COME BACK NEXT DAY. IT RECENTLY CAME ON AGAIN AND NOW HAVE TO TAKE BACK TO SHOP, BECAUSE THE POWER AND ENGINE HESITATES, HAS ISSUES GOING UP HILLS, AND SCARES ME ON LONG RIDES. IT IS NOW PAST THE 35,000 MILE AND INTO MY EXTRA WARRANTY I PAID FOR. TIRES ALL WEAR BADLY TOO, CAR NEEDS FULL ALIGNMENT. HOPING THEY WILL NOT JUST RESET AND ACTUAL FIX THE 6TH CYLINDER, UNFORTUNATELY THE LIGHT COMES AND GOES. ITS NOT THE TIRES THAT ARE A PROBLEM, IT IS THE BAD ALIGNMENT CAUSING IT TO WEAR WRONG. TIRES AREN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, SO THAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO LEAVE THE CAUSE OF THE DEFECT UNFIXED SO EVERY NEW TIRE YOU PUT ON GETS RUINED. IF THEY FIX 6TH CYLINDER WILL LET YOU KNOW, BUT BE CAREFUL, LOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING AND THE HESITATION IS TERRIFYING WITH KIDS IN CAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE VEERED TO THE RIGHT WITHOUT WARNING. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A BOULDER AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED SHOULDER, CHEST, NECK, AND HEAD INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY DASHBOARD STARTED TO FLICKER. I COULDN'T INCREASE MY SPEED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. MY CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN ON ITS OWN ACCORD. I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK. I WAS ABLE TO SHUT THE ENGINE OFF, BUT UNABLE TO TURN THE ACCESSORIES OFF. MY RADIO REMAINED ON ALONG WITH THE DASHBOARD.I WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE IGNITION. I CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK AND MY CAR WAS BROUGHT TO THE ORIGINAL DEALER, CORTESE CHRYSLER/DODGE. THE NEXT DAY THEY REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR FREE OF CHARGE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN WHEN MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR

ISSUE WITH 2012 DODGE JOURNEY CREW: DODGE ONLY OFFERED 19" WHEEL BUT PUT AN UNDERSIZED 16" SPARE TIRE IN CAR. THE DIMENSION OF WHEEL DODGE USED TAKES A TIRE THAT IS NOT READILY AVAILABLE AND ONLY MANUFACTURED BY A SMALL NUMBER OF TIRE PRODUCERS. THIS SITUATION PUTS AN OWNER IN A PREDICAMENT WHEN A TIRE FAILS. POSSIBLY BE STUCK SOME WHERE IT IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO OBTAIN A TIRE OR WEEKS TO GET OR HAVE TO DRIVE LONG DISTANCES ON A WHEEL THAT IS SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT IN DIAMETER THAN THE OTHER WHEELS. THIS IS NOT A SAFE SITUATION. MY PERSONAL INFORMATION IS NOT NEEDED BY YOU OR ANY ONE ELSE. THE ABOVE STATEMENTS ARE FACTS WHICH SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. I KNOW FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE THAT THE AUTO MANUFACTURERS DO NOT CARE THE SLIGHTEST BIT ABOUT A CUSTOMERS CONCERNS. THEY LIE ARE ARROGANT AND RUDE AND VINDICTIVE. THE ABOVE ISSUE APPLIES TO ALL 2012 DODGE JOURNEY CREW VEHICLES MADE AT THAT TIME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE, WHICH WAS EXTINGUISHED BY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES REPORTED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,286.

BOTH REAR BRAKES WORE DOWN TO THE METAL AND CUT INTO MY ROTORS. THE BRAKE LIGHT NEVER CAME ON,NO SCRAPPING OR SQUEALING. THERE SHOULD BE A SENSOR THAT DETECTS WHEN BRAKES ARE GETTING LOW. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE MY FAMILIES LIFE IS IN JEOPARDY;AS WELL AS MINE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE BRAKE FLUID WAS CONTAMINATED AND THE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20.

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 30MPH AND SLOWING DOWN THE RIGHT REAR BRAKE WOULD NOT RELEASE WHICH RESULTED IN SMOKE, OVERHEATING OF THE WHEEL AREA AND SMELL OF BURNING BRAKES. THE VEHICLE WAS REVIEWED BY A DODGE DEALER WHO INDICATED THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES. THIS HAPPEN TWO MORE TIMES WITH THE SAME OUTCOME FROM DODGE. CHRYSLER SUPPORTS THE DEALER AND WILL NOT TAKE ANY ACTIONS. A COMPLAINT WAS FILED WITH THE STATES ATTORNEYS OFFICE BECAUSE IT REPRESENTS A SAFETY ISSUE. MEANTIME, I AM TAKING THE CAR TO ANOTHER CHRYSLER DEALER FOR A SECOND OPINION WHICH SEEMS TO BE MY ONLY OPTION. *TR

I LEFT DALLAS,TEX. SUNDAY,JULY,20TH.HEADED TO LONG BEACH,CA. MY SUV STOPPED APPROX. 4 TIMES.THERE WAS LIKE A KNOCKING SOUND OR A JOLT BEFORE EACH STOP. THERE WERE NO WARNINGS ON THE DASHBOARD, NO STEAM FROM UNDER THE HOOD EITHER, BUT I NOTICED WHEN I ALLOWED IT TO SET IDLE FOR APPROX. 5MINS. I LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD,NOTHING APPEARED TO BE WRONG.THE SUV RESTARTED.THIS WAS REPEATED 3 MORE TIMES.I ARRIVED IN LONG BEACH,CA. AT APPROX.11:30A.M. WEDNESDAY,I DROVE TO LAS VEGAS, NO PROBLEMS! RETURNING FROM THERE TO CA., IT STOPPED AGAIN IN BAKER,CA. IT WAS TOWED TO BARSTOW,CA. THE TOWER AND THE MECHANICS AT THE 76 GAS STATION COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM, BECAUSE NO LIGHTS APPEARED IN THE DASHBOARD. I HAD TO SLEEP AT THE STATION OVERNIGHT IN MY VEHICLE. I POURED GAS TREATMENT FLUID IN TANK. IT SEEMED TO HELP. THE NEXT MORNING I RETURNED TO LONG BEACH WITH NO PROBLEMS. I HAVE NOT ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE IT YET. WILL BE LEAVING HERE TO RETURN TO TEXAS ON SUNDAY. WILL TAKE SUV TO DODGE DEALER. YOU MAY E-MAIL ME AT [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY 2012 DODGE JOURNEY REAR WINDSHIELD WIPER IS ACTING UP. IT WON'T START UNLESS THE WIPER SWITCH IS OFF AND THE CAR IS IN REVERSE. IT WILL NOT WORK IF I HAVE THE SWITCH ON. ALSO, I HAVE ONE TAIL LIGHT THAT'S BOTHERSOME. IF I OPEN ANY OF MY DOORS, ALL OF THE TAIL LIGHTS WORK. WHEN I TURN MY LIGHTS ON, ONE OF MY TAIL LIGHTS APPEARS TO BE OUT ALONG WITH MY LICENSE PLATE LIGHTS. I'M NOT SURE WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THESE PROBLEMS. *TR

I GOT THE CAR BRAND NEW ON 2012. THE CAR NOW HAS 17000 MILES, THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH THE TIRES WHEN THE CAR HAD 15000. AT SPEED OVER 50M I FEEL SHAKING IN THE TIRES, AND FEEL THAT THE CAR IS NOT STABLE AND NOT GRIPED TO THE WAY, ALSO THE CAR ALWAYS SLIDES ON CURVES SPECIALLY IF THE ROAD IS WET , EVEN IF VERY SLIGHTLY WET AND ON LOW SPEED. ALL MAINTENANCE TO THE TIRES INCLUDING ROTATION AND ALLIGNMENT USED TO BE DONE ON TIME AT THE DEALER. WHEN I INFORMED THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEM THEY TOLD ME THAT I MIGHT NEED TO CHANGE THE TIRES, AND ADDED THAT THE TIRES ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE CAR WARRANTY AND THAT I HAVE TO CONTACT THE TIRES MANUFACTURE FOR ANY AVAILABLE COVERAGE. I CONTACTED THE TIRES MANUFACTURE WHICH INFORMED ME THAT THESE TIRES HAS NO MILAGES WARRANTY, AND ADDED THAT THESE TIRES ARE SPECIALLY MADE FOR DODGE UNDER THEIR REQUESTED STANDARDS WHICH IS LESS QUALITY THAN THOSE AVAILABLE IN THE MARKET. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT MIGHT RESULT IN SEVERE ACCIDENTS FOR THE DODGE JOURNEY CREW DRIVERS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED, THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED AND THERE WAS SMOKE SEEN FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OVERHEATING. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE EMERGENCY LANE FOR TWENTY FIVE MINUTES. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS IN THE PROPER POSITION. FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS HOT AND SMOKE AGAIN EMITTED UNDER THE HOOD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE RADIATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE RADIATOR FAN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,546. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 41,000.

NEARLY BALD TIRES AFTER 24,000 MILES AND TWO YEARS. NEITHER THE DEALERSHIP OR THE TIRE MANUFACTURER WILL TAKE RESPONSIBILITY OF ANY KIND. GOT STUCK IN VERY LOW LEVELS OF SNOW, SLIDE IN WET CONDITIONS, ETC. KUMHO TIRES TOLD ME THAT THESE TIRES ARE MADE OUT OF A COMPOUND THAT ARE NOT MEANT TO LAST MORE THAN 20,000 MILES. I FEEL DODGE IS DELIBERATELY CHEATING THEIR CUSTOMERS BY PUTTING SUCH TIRES ON A VEHICLE THEY ARE SELLING OR LEASING. *TR

I WAS INFORMED ABOUT AN OIL LEAK FROM THE OIL PAN GASKET DURING A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE. THE TECH INFORMED ME THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH NEWER DODGE VEHICLES. I ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT THE DEALER AND CORPORATE OFFICE WITH NO SATISFACTION OF MY CONCERNS. *TR

THE DASH IS STARTING TO WARP. *TR

ON 5/10/2014 DRVING AS NORMAL MY CAR BEGIN TO MAKE A LOUD NOISE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BLINKED ON AND OFF A COUPLE OF TIMES THEN WENT OUT. BUT THE MOTOR DOUND LIKE IT WAS IDLING LOUDER N LOUDER. ONCE I GOT HOMEALL THE DEALERSHIP WERE CLOSED DO I HAD TO WAIT UNTIL MONDAY. SO ONCE I GET UP YO DRIVE ON MONDAY NO ISSUES AT ALL. BUT THE DRIVE WAS VERY RUGGED. SO I TOOK MY CAR IN EVEN THOUGH NO LIGHTS ARE ON AND THE COULDN'T DETECT ANYTHING WRONG. PICK MY CAR UP DROVE OK UNTIL I WENT TO WORK THE NEXT DAY LIGHT BACK ON NOW IM AT A POINT WHERE I DON'T KMOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. SO TODAY TO MY CAR IN WAS ADVISED THAT THEY UPDATED MY COMPUTER SYSTEM IN THE CAR. BUT NOW I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG. TRANSMISSION? TUNE UP? OR JUST A BAD CAR. AND IF THERE IS A RECALL THAT WAS PLACED OUT BEFORE IBOUGHT MY CAR I NEED IT FIXED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND HEARD THIS AWFUL SQUEALING SOUND. AS I SPED UP IT WOULD GO AWAY THEN WHEN I STOPPED AT A LIGHT IT WAS REALLY LOUD. SINCE THEN WHEN I STOP OR GO IT NOW MAKES A GRINDING SOUND. I NOTICED YESTERDAY AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 10MILES THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL COMING FROM MY BACK TIRES. WE ARE TAKING IT IN TONIGHT TO GET IT LOOKED AT. NOT REAL HAPPY WHEN THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY 2YRS OLD. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE CONTACT ALSO INDICATED THAT WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR, A VIBRATION WAS PRESENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION COMPUTER NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED. THE REPROGRAMMING WAS PERFORMED BUT THE DEFECT CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTS WITH A CLUNK BETWEEN SECOND AND THIRD GEAR. DEALER INSTALLED A PROGRAM UPDATE THAT SOLVED THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY. DODGE FORUM SUGGESTS THIS PROBLEM IS NOT UNCOMMON. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY ISSUES AS WELL AS TRANSMISSION FAILURE AFTER THE WARRANTY PERIOD. *TR

BRAKES HAVE SQUEALED INTERMITTENTLY SINCE PURCHASING THIS CAR. I HAVE RETURNED TO DEALER AT LEAST 4 TIMES. DEALER REPLACED PADS TWICE AND ROTORS ONCE. CONTINUED TO SQUEAL. REPLACED PADS AND ROTORS WITH HIGH QUALITY AFTERMARKET PARTS. NOW AFTER 4 MONTHS PADS AND ROTORS ARE GLAZED AND SQUEAKING AGAIN AND HAS A BURNING SMELL AFTER DRIVING FOR SHORT DISTANCE. TOOK BACK TO ANOTHER DEALER TO CHECK THE CALIPERS FOR STICKING. DEALER SAYS THAT CALIPERS ARE WORKING PROPERLY. I FEEL THAT THIS PROBLEM CAN DEVELOP INTO A SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN SO I AM CONCERNED FOR THEIR SAFETY. SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO WANT TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 27500 MILES AND NOW NEEDS IT'S 4TH SET OF FRONT BRAKES. *TR

STARTED GETTING A LOT OF GRUNTING FROM THE FRONT END WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS AND TURNING INTO DRIVEWAY. THE DEALER LOOKED AT IT AND RETIGHTENED FRONT END PARTS AND SO FAR SEEMS TO BE OK. ALSO THE DUAL TEMPERATURE CONTROL ONLY BLEW HOT AIR ON PASSENGER SIDE. THE DEALER HAD TO ORDER A NEW SERVO UNIT FOR THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL. THE DEALER WAS VERY GOOD ABOUT IT.HAVE A LOT OF SAME CONCERNS AS OTHER PEOPLES COMPLAINTS. *TR

LEFT FRONT WHEEL HUB NUT LOOSENED, CAUSING A CLUNKING NOISE ON ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION. WAS RE-TIGHTENED TO SPEC TO ELIMINATE THE ISSUE. *TR

SEAT SIDE PANEL COMING OFF AFTER PLASTIC TABS BROKE, SEAT BELT IS ATTACHED TO THIS PART AND THE DAMAGE GETS WORSE EVERY TIME I GET IN THE CAR, SINCE THE PANEL IS WHERE A PERSON WOULD GET IN THE CAR AND THE PANEL IS ONLY HELD ON BY 2 SMALL PLASTIC TABS THAT ARE NOT MEANT FOR HOLDING A PERSONS WEIGHT. *TR

WHILE APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT VEHICLE STUTTERS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. WHILE WAITING AT LIGHT THE VEHICLE ENGINE DIED. THIS CONTINUED FOR SEVERAL TIMES INTERMITTENTLY. NO WARNING LIGHTS NO WARNING. EXCEPT TRANSMISSION STUTTER. CALLED DEALER ABOUT ISSUE, THEY TOLD US IF THEY CAN'T REPRODUCE ISSUE NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO FIX. SO I CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY ASKED US WHAT WE WANTED THEM TO DO? I TOLD THEM I WANTED THIS CAR FIXED. SO THEY RECOMMEND OF COURSE BRING IT TO DEALER. AND WE DECIDE TO BRING BACK TO DEALER. IN THE TIME BEFORE BRINGING INTO DEALER VEHICLE HAS DIED OVER A DOZEN TIMES. IN TRAFFIC MAIN HIGHWAY. AND NO MATTER IF IT WAS A WARM ENGINE. COLD ENGINE. JUST DIES WHENEVER IT WANTS. ALSO BEFORE WE GOT THIS INTO SHOP. STEREO STARTED CHANGING CHANNELS ON ITS OWN. YOU CAN CHANGE BACK TO STATION. AND FEW MINUTES LATER YOU WOULD HAVE STATIC. THIS WAS NOT THE ONLY ISSUES WE HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE EITHER. THE FRONTEND HAD A LOUD BANG THUMP SOUND. SINCE IT WAS NEW, ALSO IN SHOP 4 TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE. FINALLY THEY REPLACED STRUTS, AND THE NOISE CAME BACK SEVERAL WEEKS LATER. THE STALLING IN TRAFFIC WAS MY LAST STRAW. I SENT IT TO SHOP, AND TRADED THIS VEHICLE FOR ANOTHER MANUFACTURES VEHICLE. I FEEL I WAS SOLD A PROBLEM AND FELT LIKE CHRYSLER EXPECTED ME TO JUST TOLERATE THESE ISSUES. WAY TOO MANY ISSUES FOR BRAND NEW VEHICLE. ALSO THE AMOUNT OF MONEY WE PAID TO PURCHASE VEHICLE. JUST FEEL SAFETY ISSUES NEED TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

TODAY DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH BUILDINGS ON BOTH SIDES I HEARD SQUEALING ECHOING. AS I CAME TO A STOP IN MY GARAGE AND SHUT THE DOOR I SMELLED THE MOST AWFUL BURNING SMELL. MY FIANCEE SAY IT WAS METAL BURNING, AND I FELT BY MY TIRES AND THEY WERE HOT. MY SUV HAS 23000 AND THEY ARE MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON HERE AND FOUND IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING ALREADY ON MY CAR. I HAVE ALSO HAD PROBLEM WITH MY TOUCH SCREEN RADIO HAVING A MIND OF ITS OWN. IT SWITCHES RADIO STATIONS ON ITS OWN. IT HAS SWITCHED FROM CD TO RADIO TO AUX ON ITS OWN. IT HAS MAXED OUT ON VOLUME ON ITS OWN AND IT SHUT COMPLETELY OFF ON ITS OWN. I THINK THERE IS A SHORT BUT THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. *TR

REAR, PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT IS FRAYING IN SEVERAL EQUALLY SPACED PLACES AND HAS A WHOLE IN IT AS A RESULT OF THE RETRACTION SYSTEM.

WE PURCHASED A NEW 2012 JOURNEY IN MARCH 2012 FROM ARE LOCAL DODGE DEALER...BOUGHT A NEW VEHICLE BECAUSE WE DID NOT WANT TO BE SHELLING OUT MONEY FOR REPAIRS....HAVE BEEN A DODGE CUSTOMER FOR SOME 20 YRS... ALL IN ALL..I LOVE MY JOURNEY...CAN'T SAY THE SAME FOR THE DEALER OR CHRYSLER.. IN MARCH OF 2013 AT ABOUT 12,500 MY MECHANIC SUGGESTED I MIGHT WANT TO GET ALIGNMENT CHECKED OUT BECAUSE THE FRONT TIRES WERE WEARING ABNORMALLY...I TRIED TO CALL THE DEALER ABOUT THE WARRANTY TO SEE IF THIS WAS COVERED...THEY NEVER CALLED ME BACK....ON 6/15/13 AT ABOUT 13,000...I WENT BACK TO MY GUY...HE INFORMED ME THAT THE FRONT TIRES WERE INDEED BALD ALREADY, AND SUGGESTED I GO TO THE DEALER TO SEE WHAT THEY COULD DO....I WAS GREETING BY A VERY SMUG, COCKY AND RUDE SERVICE MANAGER NAMED JOHN.....HE TOLD ME CHRYSLER DOES NOT STAND BEHIND THE TIRES OR THE ALIGNMENT.....REALLY JOHN???? EVEN AT 13000 YOU DON'T SEE A POSSIBLE PROBLEM ?? WHAT DID I PAY 26,000 $ FOR ?? AT THIS POINT JOHN AND I EXCHANGED SOME WORDS AND HE SAID YOU TOO.....ENDED UP HAVING MY GUY TAKE CARE OF THIS...600 $ LATER, AND FEELING MUCH SAFER, I NOW HAVE TWO NEW TIRES ON THE FRONT, FIXED THE ALIGNMENT AND ALSO PUT IN TWO FRONT CAMBERTS. WHICH HE THOUGHT WERE DEFECTIVE FROM THE FACTORY KNOWING THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN HIT.. ALSO HAVE NOTICED THE WHEN DRIVING AT LOWER SPEEDS (10-30) THAT IT SEEMS LIKE THE ACCELERATION SEEMS TO STRUGGLE OR WANTS TO SKIP AT TIMES....I HAVE SEEN THIS ISSUE MENTIONED BEFORE. WHILE MY ISSUES DO NOT COMPARE TO SOME OF THESE OTHERS ON HERE....AN ISSUE STILL THE SAME THAT COST ME 600 $ AND AN ISSUE THAT WILL LEAD ME TO ANOTHER DEALER WHEN THE TIME COMES !!!!!! *TR

MY FAMILY WAS IN THE VEHICLE (MY SON WAS 4 WEEKS OLD AT THE TIME, MY DAUGHTER 2) ON THE NEW YORK STATE THRUWAY AND THE VEHICLE STALLED OUT AT 65 MPH. MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. ABOUT 15 MILES LATER, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. WE EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND THE WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED. SHORTLY AFTER THAT, THE LOW FUEL LIGHT ILLUMINATED. IT'S HAPPEND TWO OTHER TIMES SINCE THAT FIRST INCIDENT. THE DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME THAT THEY CAN'T RECREATE THE INCIDENT AND THE CODES AREN'T ACTIVE SO THEY CAN'T VERIFY THE SCENARIO. CHRYSLER HAS TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THE VEHICHLE IN UNPREDICTABLE, UNRELIABLE AND IN MY OPINION, UNSAFE. I DID A GOOGLE SEARCH ON THE ISSUE AND FOUND A FORUM INDICATING STALLING ISSUES WITH DODGE JOURNEYS DATING BACK TO 2008. THE RESPONSES FROM SERVICE PROFESSIONALS IS ASTOUNDING - EVERYTHING FROM IT BEING A RESULT OF THE VEHICLE JUST BEING WASHED TO KEY FOB DEPROGRAMMING. *TR

THE CAR DISABLES WHILE DRIVING AND DOES NOT START PROPERLY. THE CAR HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED IT AND EACH TIME THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIX THE CAR. I BELIEVE THE CAR IS A LEMON AND WANT TO SPARE SOMEONE THE NIGHTMARE THAT I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING IN THE SLOW LANE OF ROUTE 2, WHEN ANOTHER CAR CRASHED INTO THE SIDE OF ME. CAR HIT DIRECTLY IN DRIVERS DOOR. THE SIDE OF THE CAR WAS DAMAGED BADLY, TO THE POINT WHERE THE DOORS WERE NOT ABLE TO BE OPENED. I HAD TO BE REMOVED OUT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE. I WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL WITH BRUISES AND PAIN TO THE LEFT SIDE OF MY BODY. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY SYSTEMS. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED IN THE CAR. THE SIDE IMPACT BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I HIT MY HEAD HARD ON THE DRIVER DOOR. WHY WOULD THESE SAFETY SYSTEMS NOT WORK? *TR

HAVE HAD MY DODGE PURCHASED NEW FOR A LITTLE LESS THAN ONE YEAR. AT AROUND 20,000 MILES I NOTICED THE TIRES SEEMED TO BE WEARING EXCESSIVELY WHICH I THOUGHT WAS STRANGE WITH NEW TIRES. I REQUESTED AT MY NEXT OIL CHANGE TO HAVE THEM ROTATED TO SEE IF THAT WOULD HELP. NEVER PAID IT MUCH MORE ATTENTION UNTIL MY TRACTION LIGHT KEPT COMING ON WHEN DRIVING IN REGULAR WEATHER CONDITIONS IN ADDITION TO WET CONDITIONS. I CONTACTED THE DEALER HAD MY CAR INSPECTED. THE SUSPENSION AND ALIGNMENT SEEMED TO BE FINE THERE WAS NO EXPLANATION WHY MY TIRES AT THAT POINT 28,000 WERE BALLED AND DOWN TO THE TREAD INDICATORS ON ALL FOUR TIRES. THE DEALERSHIP CONTACTED KUMHO WHO ADVISED I DID NOT HAVE A WARRANTY FOR REGULAR TREAD WEAR AND DODGE STATES THEY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TIRES THE WARRANTY IS THROUGH KUMHO. WELL WOULD YOU EXPECT TO HAVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF NO TREAD BEING LEFT AT 28,000 MILES? I WOULD NOT UNTIL I CONTACTED KUMHO TO DISCUSS MYSELF AND WERE ADVISED THAT THE TIRES ARE MADE OUT OF A COMPOUND THAT IS NOT MEANT TO LAST THAT LONG AND ARE NOT OF THE SAME MATERIAL AS YOU WOULD BUY A NEW SET OF TIRES OF THE SAME BRAND AND SIZE FROM A TIRE DEALERSHIP DIRECTLY. THEY MAKE THE TIRES TO THE MANUFACTURER SPECIFICATIONS AND THEY ARE NOT MEANT TO LAST SO BALLED TIRES AT 20,000 MILES IS ACCEPTABLE AND SAFE FOR NEW DODGE JOURNEY OWNERS! WHEN I AM IN AN ACCIDENT WITH MY FAMILY BECAUSE OF THESE TIRES BEING MADE OUT OF A COMPOUND THAT IS ONLY MEANT TO LAST A FEW MILES THEN SOMEONE WILL HERE ME THEN I AM SURE! BAD BUSINESS MOVE TO MAKE INFERIOR TIRES TO PUT ON NEW VEHICLES AND THEN POINT THE FINGERS AT EACHOTHER AND NO ONE IS RESPONSIBLE! SAD! *TR

WHILE I EXITED OFF A HIGHWAY RAMP TO PROCEED ON ANOTHER HIGHWAY, I PUT MY INDICATOR ON TO BREAK INTO HIGHWAY TRAFFIC, MY VEHICLE THEN LOST CONTROL BY ITSELF AND SLAMMED REPEATEDLY ONTO THE GUARD RAILS. THE VEHICLE DID NOT COME TO AN IMMEDIATE STOP SO I STRUGGLED TO GAIN CONTROL AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED APPROXIMATELY .45 MI FROM THE ACCIDENT. IT IS A NEW CAR WITH A 100,000 MILES WARRANTY SO I CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND MADE A COMPLAINT. THEY HAD AN INVESTIGATOR COME OUT AND INVESTIGATE THE CRASH AND CAR AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE END RESULT IS BECAUSE UP TO THIS DAY I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A COPY OF THE REPORT OR ANY INFORMATION ON WHAT HAPPENED TO MY CAR THE DAY OF THE CRASH. I AM DEVASTATED BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT MY CAR EVER SINCE. IT IS STILL IN THE MANUFACTURERS POSSESSION. THEY DO NOT ANSWER ANY OF MY CALLS OR RESPOND TO ANY OF MY MASSAGES. I STRUGGLED THE ENTIRE WINTER MONTHS WITH MY CHILDREN BECAUSE WE HAD TO WALK IN SEVERE WEATHER AND TEMPERATURES. I AM A MOM WITH FIVE CHILDREN AND ITS BEEN A STRUGGLE FRO ME NOT KNOWING ANYTHING ABOUT MY CAR OR HAVING IT TO USE. PLEASE HELP ME BECAUSE THIS IS ABUSE AND INJUSTICE TO MY CIVIL RIGHTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY SE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 TO 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE SPUN OUT OF CONTROL WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE VEHICLE STOPPED AFTER IT CRASHED INTO THE GUARD RAIL. THE CONTACT DID NOT RECEIVE ANY INJURIES. THE POLICE WERE CONTACTED AND A REPORT WAS AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TOWED TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY INFORMED HER THAT AN INVESTIGATOR WOULD COME OUT AND DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED PENDING THE INVESTIGATION. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 3,000.

WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES AND COMING TO A STOP THERE WAS AN AWFUL GRINDING NOISE AND IT FELT AS IF THE VEHICLE MIGHT BE JERKING OR NOT STOPPING CORRECTLY. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FIRST THING ON MONDAY AND AFTER THEIR INSPECTION WAS TOLD THAT THE REAR BRAKE PADS ARE DEFECTIVE. THERE WAS SOME SURFACE RUST ON THE PADS AND ROTORS, BUT I WAS TOLD THAT IS NORMAL AND THAT THESE PARTS ACCUMULATE RUST OVERNIGHT BUT IT NORMALLY GRINDS OFF WHEN DRIVING THE NEXT DAY. THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT HAVE THE REAR BRAKE PADS OR ROTORS IN STOCK, SO THEY ARE ON ORDER. I WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE WOULD BE OK TO DRIVE UNTIL THE PARTS COME IN AND THEY INSTRUCTED ME THAT I HAD TO COME PICK THE JOURNEY BACK UP AND COULD NOT LEAVE IT AT THE DEALERSHIP. WITH THE GRINDING NOISE, VEHICLE JERKING AND NEW KNOWLEDGE OF THE "DEFECTIVE" PARTS, I AM NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE RIGHT NOW. *TR

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON JUNE 15,2012. UNEXPECTEDLY, ON SEPTEMBER 22, 2012 MY VEHICLE LOST CONTROL AT THE LOCATION I 287NB EXIT 41A PARSIPPANY RAMP ONTO 80 E TRAFFIC THEN MY VEHICLE LOST CONTROL AND SLAMMED ONTO THE GUARD RAIL REPEATEDLY. I IMMEDIATELY NOTIFIED JOHN JOHNSON OF THE INCIDENT AND I PLEADED FOR THEM TO SEND ME A TOW TRUCK BECAUSE OF MY 100,000 MI WARRANTY. FURTHER, I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURERS CHRYSLER GROUP AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION. EVENTUALLY, BECAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT CAUSE AND EFFECT THEY TOOK THE VEHICLE AND SEND FOR A CONTRACTOR INSPECTOR FROM PENNSYLVANIA TO INSPECT THE CAR. AFTER THE INSPECTION, THE CONTRACTOR CONTACTED ME AND TOLD ME HE IS SENDING IN THE REPORT TO CHRYSLER AND WAIT A WEEK BEFORE CONTACTING THEM FOR A COPY OF THE REPORT. MOREOVER, I FOLLOWED UP, AND CHRYSLER COULD NOT TELL ME WHO WAS HANDLING MY CASE. FINALLY, AFTER PURSUING MY CASE SOMEONE TOLD ME THAT MY VEHICLE CASE FILE WAS CLOSED AND SENT TO THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT BECAUSE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT MY VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL WENT OUT. FURTHER, I WAS TOLD THAT SOMEONE WOULD BE IN CONTACT WITH ME SHORTLY. NO ONE CONTACTED ME AND SEVERAL WEEKS PASSED AND I STILL DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING FROM THE CHRYSLER GROUP. I TRIED AGAIN UNTIL I GOT AN ANSWER AND I WAS TOLD TO EXPECT A LETTER AND NO FURTHER INFORMATION WAS PROVIDED. EVENTUALLY, AFTER A LONG WAIT, I RECEIVED A LETTER THAT STATED THAT MY CLAIM IS DENIED AND THAT THE INSPECTOR DID NOT FIND ANY MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT CAUSED THE ACCIDENT. I ASKED FOR A COPY OF THE REPORT AND CHRYSLER REFUSE TO PROVIDE ME WITH THE INSPECTION REPORT THAT GATHERED INFORMATION FROM THE VEHICLE IMAGING ONBOARD COMPUTER SYSTEMS. ADDITIONALLY, I AM STILL WITHOUT MY CAR OR A CAR. MY FAMILY AND I HAVE HAD PAIN AND SUFFERING AND HARDSHIP OVER THIS ORDEAL. AND I AM STILL MAKING MONTHLY PAYMENTS FOR A CAR I DON'T HAVE OR DRIVE. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME? *TR

I BOUGHT MY NEW DODGE JOURNEY ON THE 16TH OF JULY 2012. I LIVE APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES FROM THE DEALERSHIP WERE I BOUGHT MY JOURNEY. MOST OF MY DRIVING IS HIGHWAY SO I DIDN'T NOTICE THE ISSUE RIGHT AWAY. THE FIRST TIME I CAME TO A STOP WITH MY NEW VEHICLE THE BRAKES SHUDDERED LIKE THEY WERE GRABBING THEN LETTING GO AND GRABBING AGAIN, REALLY FAST. I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP 4 DIFFERENT TIMES FOR THIS AND A TRANSMISSION SHUDDER WHICH THEY SAY CHRYSLER HAS NO FIX. IS THIS SOMETHING YOU HAVE SEEN FROM JOURNEYS BEFORE? THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

WE PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2012 DODGE JOURNEY IN MARCH 2012. THE CAR HAD 14 MILES ON IT, OUR FIRST NEW CAR. SHORTLY AFTER DRIVING THE CAR AROUND FOR ABOUT A MONTH, WE STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. WE NOTICED THAT WHEN COMING TO A STOP THE TRANSMISSION STARTING STUTTERING AND IT WOULD SHAKE THE WHOLE CAR. WE THOUGHT IT WAS JUST THAT ONCE, BUT THEN IT STARTED HAPPENING ALMOST EVERY TIME WE WOULD COME TO A STOP, WHETHER WE WERE SLOWING DOWN COMING OFF OF A HIGHWAY OR SITTING THROUGH STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULDN'T RECREATE IT. THEY HOOKED IT UP TO THEIR COMPUTER AND FOUND NO ISSUES. 3 MONTHS LATER WE DECIDED TO TAKE IT IN TO BE LOOKED AT AGAIN. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR THEY WERE ABLE TO RECREATE THE STUTTERING, THIS TIME WHILE ACCELERATING. SINCE THEN THEY HAVE BEEN BACK AND FORTH WITH CHRYSLER AND HAVE HAD THE CAR IN THE SHOP FOR 2 WEEKS NOW. CHRYSLER IS NOW HAVING THEM OPEN THE TRANSMISSION AND REPLACE SOME PARTS. THIS CONCERNS ME SINCE THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR! *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. AFTER TWO TIME TO THE SAME DEALER, SAME PROBLEM. TOOK CAR TO ANOTHER DEALER, FINALLY THE CORRECT REPAIR. DEFECTIVE CYLINDER HEAD. *TR

BRAKES ON THE 2012 DODGE JOURNEY SQUEAKED AND APPEARED TO NOT WANT TO STOP PROPERLY. I TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS BREAK DUST THAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM. AFTER THE SQUEAKING GOT WORST, I TOOK IT BACK IN WAS TOLD THAT THEY REPLACED MY BRAKE PADS. HERE I AM 2 MONTHS LATER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE HAS A SLOW TAKE OFF. WHEN TRYING TO OBTAIN SPEED THE VEHICLE STALLS BEFORE SPEED IS PICKED UP. NOW, I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE PASSENGER SEATBELT NOT GIVING A LIGHT SIGNAL NOR ALARMING SIGNAL THAT SEATBELT IS NOT ON. *TR

BRAND NEW VEHICLE AND THE TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. I TOOK IT TO ONE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY "RESET" THE COMPUTER CHIP AND THAT SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM.... IT DIDN'T!! I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS "NORMAL". WHAT!!!!!!!!! HOW CAN THAT BE NORMAL FOR ANY VEHICLE. THE SERVICE DIRECTOR TOLD ME THAT MOST PEOPLE DON'T FEEL IT UNTIL 3000-3500 MILES. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!!!!! NOW I'M WAITING TO HEAR FROM CHRYSLER TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE! *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT 830PM AND HAD AT LEAST 120 MILES ON THE SAME ROAD AND SET THE CRUISE CONTROL TO 68MPH, THE LEGAL SPEED WAS 65MPH AND THERE WAS LIGHT TRAFFIC. AS MY CAR APPROACHED A SMALL HILLY INCLINE, IT FAILED TO MAINTAIN THE 68MPH, DROPPING TO 60MPH, AND THEN UPON REACHING "THE TOP" IT ACCELERATED RAPIDLY REACHING HIGH RPMS ROUGHLY 5500 6000 AND OVER COMPENSATING TO AS MUCH AS 77 BEFORE SLOWING DOWN TO THE PRESET SPEED. AFTER DOING THIS 3 MORE TIMES, I PULLED OVER TURNED OFF THE CAR AND STARTED IT UP, HOPING IT MAY JUST BE A QUICK FIX. IT ONCE AGAIN DID IT AND I REFRAINED FROM USING THE CRUISE CONTROL FOR THE REMAINDER OF MY TRIP. ON MY WAY BACK, I ONCE AGAIN TRIED THE CRUISE CONTROL AGAIN AND SAW THE SAME RESULTS. UPON RETURNING HOME I CALLED MY DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD LOOK AT IT AT MY NEXT APPOINTMENT WHICH WAS 10 DAYS LATER. 2 DAYS PRIOR TO ME BRINGING IN THE CAR, I TRIED IT FOR A THIRD TIME, THIS TIME SET AT 45MPH, SAME AS LEGAL SPEED LIMIT, WHILE CONTINUING UP FROM A PARKWAY ONTO A BRIDGE ENTRANCE, THE CAR DID IT AGAIN AND NEARLY SENT ME FLYING INTO THE BACK OF A TRUCK BUT I WAS ABLE TO BREAK FAST ENOUGH TO SLOW DOWN AND DO A MINOR SWERVE WITHIN MY LANE TO AVOID IT. THIS WAS IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY A LOW ENGINE COOLANT WARNING AND I PULLED OVER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THE COOLANT RESERVOIR WAS WELL ABOVE THE MINIMUM LEVEL, HOWEVER HAD ORANGE COOLANT ON TOP OF IT. I CLEANED UP WHAT I COULD AND DID BELOW SPEED LIMIT HOME. THIS WAS MY SECOND ISSUE WITH THE COOLANT WARNING, AT 1150 MILES I BROUGHT IT IN AND THE DEALER FOUND NO CODES THAT IT EVEN OCCURRED AND THEREFORE DID NOT FIX A THING. UPON DROPPING OFF MY VEHICLE, THEY DID NOT SEEM AT ALL CONCERNED AND THOUGHT I WAS MAKING IT UP. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY OWN CAR. *JS
