Summary

On Monday, August 16, 2021, I was driving towards a busy intersection when my steering wheel was all of a sudden unable to turn in either direction. I stopped the vehicle before merging on the busy intersection, which my next destination was I-80. My safety was very much at risk due to this as if it would have failed on I-80, myself or my children could have been severely injured as well as other drivers. I had the vehicle towed to a local dealership (Greenway Motors) and they inspected the vehicle and initially found that the power steering pump was broken and there was metal debris that would need to be flushed but that when they start the repair, more than likely the debris would also be in the steering gears. They said the vehicle was no longer under a warranty for this issue. Based on their inspection, the cost they stated for the repair I could not afford so I contacted an auto repair shop locally (Ewerts). I had the vehicle towed to that location on Tuesday, August 17, 2021. Ewerts informed me that when replacing the power steering pump and flushing the lines, they did find metal debris also in the steering gears. The vehicle is currently still in repair at Ewerts. The estimated repair cost is now roughly $1,600.00 There were no warning lights or messages on the vehicle prior to this incident.

2017 DODGE JOURNEY OIL FILTER HOUSING LEAK. VEHICLE IS PERSISTENT LEAKING OIL. CHRYSLER DODGE DEALER CLAIMS THERE ARE 40,000 ORDERS FOR THIS PART IN WAITING AND THAT THE TIMETABLE FOR GETTING A REPLACEMENT PART IS INDEFINITE. THEIR SUGGESTION IS TO KEEP REFILLING WITH OIL FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. THEY STATE THE PART MAY EVENTUALLY BE A RECALLED BUT IS NOT YET. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE WITH SO MANY KNOWN PROBLEMS THAT IT'S NOT BEEN RECALLED ALREADY. ADDITIONALLY IT'S A $700 REPAIR FOR A KNOWN ISSUE.

Summary

MY DODGE JOURNEY HAD TRANSMISSION FAILURE ALONG WITH THE GAS TANK NOT BEING ABLE TO FILL UP TO THE F. MY CAR JERKED TO MOVE FORWARD AND THE GAS PEDAL WOULD NOT CAUSE THE CAR TO MOVE FORWARD. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOOK ABOUT A WEEK AND A HALF TO FIX IT. HERE I AM ONE WEEK LATER HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND NEEDING TO BRING IT BACK TO REFIX THE ISSUE. THERE IS A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE AND HAVING TO HAVE THE SAME TRANSMISSION ISSUES RETURN FOR FIXING TWO TO THREE TIMES BEFORE THE CAR IS FIXED RIGHT. THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL CAR BUT A TRANSMISSION ISSUE THAT NEEDS SEVERAL FIXES BEFORE THE CAR EVEN REACHES 1200000 MILES TO CHANGE TRANSMISSION FLUID IS NOT A GOOD LOOK. THE TRANSMISSION NEED TO BE RECALLED AND NEW TRANSMISSIONS SHOULD BE GIVEN TO PEOPLE WHO OWN THIS BRAND OF VEHICLE. I ONLY HAVE ONE CAR AND NEED THIS VEHICLE TO PUT FOOD ON MY TABLE FOR MY FAMILY DURING A NEVER ENDING PANDEMIC AT THAT. THE TRANSMISSION ON THESE VEHICLES ARE NOT RELIABLE EVEN AFTER FIXING.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, A RED BATTERY IMAGE DISPLAYED ON THE MENU CENTER SCREEN.NEXT DAY HAD IT CHECKED, WAS TOLD ALL WAS FINE,EVERYTHING CHECK OUT..A WEEK LATER WAS ON FREEWAYAGAIN,HEADLIGHTS FLICKED, RADIO WENT DEAD(DISPLAY &SOUND) TWICE, ENGINE BOGGED DOWN BRIEFLY. CAR IS IN SHOP NOW..TWO DAYS.AND NO ACCURATE DIAGNOSIS..THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A WELL-DOCUMENTED PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL OF VEHICLE..HAS THIS CAUSED DEATH? WILL IT LEAD TO DEATH, YES, IS THERE HELP FOR THE CONSUMERS?? I'M AWARE OF NUMEROUS ELECTRONICAL PROBLEMS WITH THESE AND OTHER DODGE VEHICLES. AS I HAVE OWNED ONE IN THE PAST WITH A SIMILAR PROBLEM. THAT COST ME THOUSANDS , AND COULD NOT BE FIXED, EVEN BY A TECH FROM CORPORATE OUT OF STATE..NOW WITH MY CURRENT SITUATION HOW CAN I BE CONFIDENT ON THE ROAD? ALSO WHY, WHEN THE DEALERSHIP KNOW(FOR A FACT) THEIR VEHICLES HAVE THESE ISSUES. THEY CHARGE A $180.00 DIAGNOSTIC FEE, THAT CAN NOT BE APPLIED TO REPAIR..UNFAIR AND CRIMINAL TO PUT VEHICLES ON THE ROAD THEY KNOW ARE FAULTY..FAULTY AS IN ELECTRONIC ISSUES THAT NO ONE CAN PINPOINT..AND IT APPEARS THAT IF THEY THROW ENOUGH PARTS AT IT, MAYBE THAT WILL WORK...THESE ISSUES MUST STOP!!

Summary

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I LEFT MY HOME AND WAS HEADING TO WORK WHEN SOMEONE RAN A STOP SIGN. I HAD TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES TO AVOID BEING T-BONED. THE BRAKES WORKED AT FIRST, THEN THE PEDDLE PULSED AND WENT TO THE FLOOR BOARD. I PULLED OVER AND LOOKED FOR BRAKE FLUID LEAKING UNDER THE VEHICLE. AFTER NOT SEEING ANY, I TRIED PUMPING THE BRAKES AND THE PEDDLE KIND OF STARTED WORKING AGAIN, BUT IF YOU KEEP PRESSURE ON THE PEDDLE, IT WILL GO TO THE FLOOR BOARD. WHEN YOU DRIVE IT, THE BRAKES BARLEY RESPOND FOR THE FIRST 1.5" TO 2" OF MOVEMENT, THEN MOST OF THE BRAKING IS IN THE NEXT 1" TO 1.5" OF MOVEMENT. AS YOU SIT AT A STOP APPLYING PRESSURE. THE PEDDLE WILL GO THE FLOOR BOARD. YOU CAN PUMP IT UP TO FIRM, WITH THE VEHICLE IN THE OFF POSITION, BUT AFTER YOU START IT, THE PEDDLE BECOMES SOFT AND AS STATED BEFORE, GOES TO THE FLOOR BOARD. 2 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS HAVE SAID THIS IS NORMAL, THE BRAKES DID NOT DO THIS BEFORE HAVING TO SLAM ON THEM. IT DOES NOT FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, IT SEEMS THAT THE 2018 DODGE JOURNEY IS ALREADY BEING RECALLED FOR A SIMILAR PROBLEM. THANK YOU FOR TIME.

THIS IS A FOLLOW-UP TO 11244334 AND 11243797. FOR BACKGROUND, THE 2017 JOURNEY BEGAN STALLING INTERMITTENTLY AND NOT THROWING A CODE (STARTING AT ABOUT 23,500 MILES). THE STALLING OCCURRED DURING ALL DRIVING CONDITIONS AND SPEEDS. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE EVENT AND TOLD ME TO DRIVE UNTIL IT THROWS A CODE. AFTER 6,000 MILES AND HUNDREDS OF STALLS THE VEHICLE FINALLY THREW A CODE, (29,500 MILES, P0335 CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR). THE SENSOR REPLACED, CONNECTOR DID NOT FIT SENSOR WELL SO IT WAS REPLACED (SUBJECT OF COMPLAINT 11244334). THOUGHT IT WAS FIXED, AND THREE DAYS LATER, IT STALLED AGAIN ON THE HIGHWAY. ONLY THIS TIME THE TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON AND BRAKES DID NOT WORK INTERMITTENTLY. BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP, THE TECHNICIAN IN HIS FRUSTRATION AND OPENED THE WIRING HARNESS. WHAT HE FOUND ABOUT 8 INCHES FROM THE CONNECTOR WAS "CRANK SHAFT POSITION WIRES CUT AND TWISTED TOGETHER..." THE SERVICE ADVISOR ASKED WHO ELSE WAS IN THERE. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE DONE ALL WORK AND MAINTENANCE MEANING THIS ISSUE WAS IN PRODUCTION.

I TRIED THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKES WOULDN'T WORK THEY WERE HARD AND WOULD NOT PUSH DOWN. I LET IT SLOW ITSELF DOWN AND MADE IT TO THE SIDE OF 95N. I THEN PUT THE SUV IN PARK WITH HAZARDS ON. I EXITED THE SUV TO CHECK FOR ANY DAMAGE AND OR INDICATIONS OF WHAT CAUSED THE SVU TO LOCK UP WHILE DRIVING. THERE WAS NO SIGN OF ANYTHING THAT I COULD SEE. I RETURNED TO THE DRIVER'S SEAT RESTARTED THE SUV. AFTER NOTICING THAT THE RADIO WAS ON BUT NOT SURE IF THE TRUCK WAS ON. SO I RESTARTED IT TO BE SURE THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING. I DROVE IT HOME, 10 MINUTES DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 50 MPH AND CALLED THE LUSTINE DEALERSHIP AND HAD IT TOWED TO THEM. I CAN SAY THAT THE WEATHER WAS 98 DEGREES REAL FEEL AT 110. THIS WAS AROUND 2 IN THE AFTERNOON. THE LUSTINE DEALERSHIP HAD MY SUV FROM THEN UNTIL JULY 22ND. THEY PUT OVER 100 MILES ON MY SUV AND SAID THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE ISSUE.

Summary

WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL/STABILITY LIGHT CAME ON. YOU COULD FEEL THE CAR LOOSEN UP, AND THE ENGINE SOUND LIKE IT WAS MISFIRING OR SKIPPING. THE CAR DID NOT LOSE POWER, AND RAN FINE THE NEXT TIME I DROVE IT. HOWEVER, IT HAS HAPPENED A FEW MORE TIMES. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP, SO WE WILL SEE WHAT THEY SAY. I DID SEE THAT THE 2012-2015 MODELS UNDERWENT A RECALL FOR SOMETHING SIMILAR. MAYBE IT IS THAT SAME ISSUE ON THIS MODEL. ALSO, A FEW MONTHS BACK I WAS DRIVING WHEN THE BOLTS HOLDING THE SERPENTINE BELT (DON'T KNOW THE EXACT NAME OF THE SYSTEM) BROKE OFF. THE CAR OVERHEATED AND COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. THEY USED SHORT 8MM BOLTS TO HOLD UP THE SYSTEM AND THEY FAILED. DEALERSHIP OR CHRYSLER WOULD NOT COVER COSTS OF AROUND $175 TO FIX, WITH NO ASSURANCE THAT A LONGER 8MM BOLT WOULD HOLD UP LONG TERM. THE CAR HAS LESS THEN 50K MILES ON IT.

Summary

NOT VEHICLE SPECIFIC. THERE IS MUCH CONCERN OVER DISTRACTED DRIVING. CARS PRODUCED TODAY CAN NOT BE DRIVEN WITHOUT VIEWING THE DASHBOARD VIDEO DISPLAY. CLIMATE CONTROLS, RADIO, ETC. VIDEO DISPLAY IS CONSTANTLY DISPLAYING INFORMATION WHICH REQUIRES DRIVER TO TAKE EYES OFF THE ROAD. I BELIEVE BACKUP CAMERAS ARE USEFUL, BUT SHOULD ONLY DISPLAY VIDEO WHEN IN REVERSE. CELL PHONE DISTRACTIONS. ELECTRONICALLY DISABLE CELL PHONES WHILE VEHICLE IS MOVING. MAY SIGNAL AN INCOMING CALL, BUT MUST STOP VEHICLE TO RESPOND.

Summary

ONE MONTH AFTER PURCHASING THE 2017 DODGE JOURNEY THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED DODGE DEALER AND THEY INFORMED US THAT THE AIRBAG WIREING HARNESS LOCATED UNDER THE DRIVERS FRONT SEAT WAS FAULTY. THE TOLD US THE AIRVAGWIREING HARNESS IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY AND THAT THE NEW REPLACEMENT AIRBAG WIREING HARNESS WOULD COST AROUND $800. THE AIRBAG LIGHT STILL GOES ON & OFF RANDOMLY WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT IS BEING DRIVEN STRAIGHT OR ON CURVES OR TURNING. IT JUST RANDOMLY COMES ON WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN.

Summary

I HAVE HAD 3 INCIDENTS, WITH THE LATEST ON 12/23 WHEN DURING A RAPID BREAKING TO AVOID COLLISION AS A VEHICLE DID ILLEGAL LANE CHANGE IN FRONT OF ME, MY WALLET, WHICH I HAD ON TOP OF THE MIDDLE COMPARTMENT, PUSHED THE CLUTCH AND CHANGED THE GEAR TO REVERSE AND MY CAR WENT BACKWARDS ALMOST COLLIDING WITH A VEHICLE BEHIND ME. ON OTHER INCIDENT ON THANKSGIVING DAY IN 2017 I WAS MAKING AN U-TURN WHEN I HAD TO BREAK FOR A CAR WHICH TURNED RIGHT SHARPLY AND MY SMALL PURSE FLEW AND SWITCH THE GEAR TO NEUTRAL AND I WAS PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL AND TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF INCOMING TRAFFIC AND COULDN'T UNDERSTAND RIGHT AWAY THAT THE CAR'S GEAR HAS BEEN PUSHED TO NEUTRAL AND THAT'S IS WHY I COULDN'T MOVE THE VEHICLE. THE CLUTCH HAS NO LOCK BUTTON AND WHEN PUSHED WITH EVEN TWO FINGERS IT SWITCHES THE GEARS, SO ANY SMALL OBJECT DURING A QUICK OR SADDEN BREAKING CAN CAUSE THE GEAR TO SWITCH TO REVERSE OR NEUTRAL.

THE MAIN SCREEN FOR UCONNECT WENT DARK AFTER TURNING ON THE CAR (PARKED). NO RADIO, NO A/C CONTROL, NOTHING IN THE CENTER CONSOLE WOULD WORK. WE LIVE IN FL AND NO A/C IS A BIG PROBLEM, SPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE A TODDLER AND A BABY. I WENT TO MY DESTINATION WITH THE DEAD CONSOLE. I WENT BACK IN THE CAR, THIS TIME EVERYTHING WAS OK. I CALLED FCA AND THEIR ANSWER WAS "GO TO A DEALER AND PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC, IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WE'LL REFUND YOU" I DON'T THINK THAT IS CORRECT WHEN WE ARE ON WARRANTY AND WHEN THEY KNOW THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE. I FOUND SEVERAL CASES OF PEOPLE GOING THRU THE SAME, THEY SUGGEST REBOOT, FACTORY RESET AND OTHER NON-SENSE. CHECK THIS VIDEO (LINK) AND YOU HAVE EVIDENCE OF SEVERAL PROBLEM WITH THIS SYSTEM. THIS ALSO IS BEING GOING ON SINCE AT LEAST 2012. TIME FOR A RECALL ON UCONNECT SYSTEMS!!! HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=RWHPSFIQV1W

DURING USE OF THE VEHICLE, WHETHER STATIONARY OR IN MOTION, THE "GAS CAP LIGHT" WILL COME ON FOLLOWED BY "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT". WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE CODE P0456 WILL CAUSE THE CAR TO ACT INDIFFERENT, IT IS STILL DRIVABLE, BUT CAN CAUSE OTHER COMPONENTS TO SHOW A FALSE READING. THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN THE PAST 2 MONTHS, AND EVERY TIME WE GO TO THE DEALERSHIP THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL DISAPPEAR. WE HAVE CHECKED THE GAS CAP, AND THIS VEHICLE IS UNDER 17,000 MILES. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH DODGE, JEEP, AND CHRYSLER VEHICLES, AND THIS SHOULD BE HANDLED BY THE MANUFACTURER. TREAT THIS KNOWN ISSUE AS A RECALL, AND IMPROVE UPON YOUR EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM.

Summary

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2014-2018 Dodge Journey, Charger and Durango, RAM 2500, 3500, 3500 Cab Chassis (more than 10,000lb), 4500 Cab Chassis and 5500 Cab Chassis, Jeep Cherokee and Grand Cherokee and Chrysler 300, 2014-2019 RAM 1500, 2015-2018 Dodge Challenger, 2015-2017 Chrysler 200, 2016-2018 RAM 3500 Cab Chassis (less than 10,000 lb), 2017-2018 Chrysler Pacifica and 2018 Jeep Wrangler vehicles. These vehicles are being recalled to address a defect that could prevent the cruise control system from disengaging. If, when using cruise control, there is a short circuit within the vehicle's wiring, the driver may not be able to shut off the cruise control either by depressing the brake pedal or manually turning the system off once it has been engaged, resulting in either the vehicle maintaining its current speed or possibly accelerating.
