2009 Dodge Journey Other Problems

Your car won't start consistently, and when it does start, it shuts off unexpectedly. The engine also cuts in and out while you're driving, which creates a safety concern. This could indicate a problem with the ignition system, fuel delivery, or electrical connections that needs professional diagnosis.

1- My steering started making a noise when I would make a right turn. I took it to the dealer service and they informed me that the metal battery holder completely rusted away and the battery dropped down onto the inner wheel well and when I made a turn it would hit the tire and steering arm. When this started I had not driven the car after that because I felt unsafe. So I called Chrysler Customer Service and ask them to refund my money for the repair ($700+} since I Told them of possibly be injured or killed if the steering locked up while driving. They gave me a case number and said they would review it. They denied the request and blew me off with " it's out of warranty". I said I knew that and you were not concerned with my family's safety. So I need your help to recalling all Journeys which could happen to them. 2- The lugs nuts on dodges are covered in a casing and after a few years they separate from the nut. This is a big problem because the lug wrench not longer fits and I had to buy a MM deep socket to fit that nut when I would have fix a flat tire. You should review that too.

BAD KEY ERROR EVEN AFTER WIN MODULE HAS BEEN REPLACED. ISSUE HAS BEEN PROMINENT SINCE RECALL WAS REPAIRED IN 2016 THEN ISSUE WITH STARTING THE ENGINE CAME UP. DEALERSHIP COULDN'T RECREATE ISSUE AND WOULDN'T FIX PROBLEM. NOW 2021, CAR GIVES BAD KEY ERROR AND WON'T RECOGNIZE ANY KEYS OR START UP WITH REMOTE START. WIN MODULE WAS REPLACED AND TWO DAYS LATER, SAME ISSUE.

WHILE PARKED WITH FULL BATTERY TURNING THE IGNITION SWITCH ON...CAR REFUSING TO START. CAR IS PARKED ON A CITY STREET. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLETIMES.TODAYIT WILL NOT START AT ALL. CAR WAS TAKEN TO CHRYSLER JEEP RECENTLY . I WAS INFORMED THAT I NEEDED A NEW IGNITION NODULE AT AN APPROX. COST OF $1,000. IN CHECKING ONLINE I FIND THAT I AM ONE OF HUNDREDS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT.I BELIEVE CHRYSLER HAS RECALLED THESE CARS FOR FAULTY IGNITION SWITCHES. I AM LOOKING FOR HELP WITH THE NEXT STEP. I AM FEARFUL THAT EVEN IF I GET THE CAR TO START I AM UNSURE OF IT HAPPENING WHILE DRIVING. YOUR ADVICE AND RESOURCES WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THOMAS NYE

MY 2009 DODGE JOURNEY WOULD NOT TURN ON AFTER AWHILE THAT I HAVE BEEN USING IT.I WOULD USE IT THEN TURN IT OFF AND IT WONT TURN BACK ON UNTILL A WHILE THAT YOU LEAVE IT ALONE.

CAR WILL NOT START AT TIMES, USUALLY WHEN IT'S HOT OUTSIDE, AND IT TAKES ANYWHERE FROM 5 MINUTES TO A DAY BEFORE IT WILL START BACK. BATTERY, KEYS, AND ALTERNATOR ARE FINE. MOST OF THE TIME IF I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL IT WILL START BUT OTHER TIMES I AM LEFT STRANDED. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE FAR FROM HOME BECAUSE IF I TURN MY CAR OFF IT MAY NOT START BACK . I HAVE BEEN STRANDED FOR HOURS WITH MY KIDS BEFORE IN THE HIGH HEAT. THIS NEEDS FIXED ASAP, BEEN GOING ON FOR 5 YRS NOW.ASK ANYONE WITH A DODGE JOURNEY AND THEY WILL TELL YOU THEY HAVE THE SAME ISSUE.

MY 2009 DODGE JOURNEY HAS BEEN HAVING A NO START ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE OVER THE PAST 3 YEARS. AT FIRST IT WAS JUST WHEN IT WAS HOT OUTSIDE OR THE CAR WAS HOT AFTER DRIVING AN HOUR OR MORE, NOW IT HAPPENS AT ANY GIVEN TIME, EVEN FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. I CAN USUALLY GET IT STARTED AFTER 5-10 TRIES, BUT NEVER ON THE FIRST TRY. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS ON MONDAY, JUNE 17, 2019 WHEN I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR THE 5TH TIME THIS YEAR FOR THIS PROBLEM.

CAR WILL INTERMITTENTLY START AND THEN WON'T START. BATTERY IS FINE. CHECKED NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH. STILL NOTHING. HAVE BEEN STRANDED SEVERAL TIME.

I DROVE MY VEHICLE TO THE GROCERY STORE WITH NO PROBLEMS. I SHOPPED, CAME BACK OUT AND TRIED TO START IT. LIGHTS, RADIO, WINDOWS, LOCKS... ALL WORKED. WHEN TRYING TO START, YOU HEAR A SINGLE CLICK EACH TIME YOU TRY. WE TRIED TO JUMPSTART IT; THERE WERE NO CHANGES. IT WOULDN'T START. I HAD THE DEALER TOW IT. THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. THEY ENDED UP GETTING IT TO START WITH NO ANSWERS FOR ME. THEY JUST SAID THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHATS WRONG WITH IT OR WHY IT ACTED THE WAY IT DID. I DID SOME RESEARCH. ITS COMMON IN DODGE JOURNEYS; THEREFORE DODGE SHOULD ADRESS THE ISSUE.

2009 DODGE JOURNEY HAS ISSUES STARTING INTERMITTENTLY. SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE MANY PEOPLE POST ABOUT. IF YOU LET THE VEHICLE SIT FOR AWHILE IT WILL SOMETIMES START BACK UP. INSERTING KEY WILL MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO TURN ON LIGHTS, RADIO, ROLL DOWN WINDOWS, ETC, BUT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START, ONLY CLICK.

WAS DRIVING ON MY WAY BACK HOME WITH MY 4 KIDS WHEN THE CAR STALLED AND WOULDN'T TURN OVER. PUT KEY FOB IN IGNITION AND WOULD MAKE A CLICKING NOISE THEN IT JUST STOPPED MAKING NOISE. GOT CAR TOWED AND HAD BATTERY CHECKED AND THE BATTERY HAD FULL CHARGE AND ONLY 2 YEARS OLD.

I HAVE A 2009 DODGE JOURNEY, WHEN THE HEAT IS ON IN THE VEHICLE THE PASSENGER SIDE BLOWS COLD AIR ON ONE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE I'VE BEEN ON THE INTERNET AND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING, AND THE DEALERSHIP ARE CHARGING $600-$1200 TO FIX THE PROBLEM, WHEN THIS IS A CAR DEFECT, PERIOD.....

NO START NO CRANK. SINCE TAKING MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIPS TO FIX THE RECALLS MY CAR WONT EVEN GO OUT OF PARK UNLESS THE CAR IS ON AND RUNNING.

I OWN A 2009 DODGE JOURNEY THAT I PURCHASED IN JULY OF 2018. BEGINNING IN AUGUST I STARTED EXPERIENCING A NO CRANK NO START PROBLEM. THERE WERE 3 TIMES MY CAR WOULDN'T START WHILE I WAS AT HOME. MY CAR HAS BEEN TOWED APPROXIMATELY 9 TIMES SINCE SEPTEMBER INCLUDING 2 TIMES TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR OF THE PROBLEM IN OCTOBER. INITIALLY THE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED A DEAD CELL IN THE BATTERY. I PAID APPROXIMATELY $232.00 FOR A NEW BATTERY AND 2 1/2 WEEKS LATER I WAS STRANDED AGAIN DUE TO MY CAR NOT STARTING IN NOVEMBER, SINCE THEN I'VE HAD THIS PROBLEM 8 TIMES WHILE ATTEMPTING TO LEAVE MY HOME. ALL OF MY MAJOR PARTS ARE OPERATING CORRECTLY AND NOTHING IS DRAINING MY BATTERY. CAN CHRYSLER PLEASE ATTEMPT TO IDENTIFY WHAT IS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM? IT'S UNSAFE AND VERY INCONVENIENT THIS UNKNOWN ISSUE IS EXPENSIVE TO CONSTANTLY ATTEMPT TO FIX AND THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS.

TAKATA RECALL I PURCHASED THIS CAR & WAS TOLD ONLY NEEDED TO REPLACE BACK TIRES.. I TOLD THE SAKES GUY I DO NOT WANT TO PUT ANY MONEY IN ANY CARS, I TOLD HIM I OWN A 2004 DODGE INTREPRID SE I BOUGHT BRAND NEW ON 7/27/2004, LAST YR IN END OF SEPT IT STARTED TO NICKEL & DIME ME. THIS CAR I BOUGHT FROM THIS GUY SAID NOTHING WRONG , I SAID THIS CAR LOOKS LIKE IT'S NEEN IN A CAR ACCIDENT, HE SAID NOTHING WRONG, SAID I WILL BE 2ND OWNER & A CLEAR TITLE... WRONG, I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM A CAR LOT ON 2/16/2018, ON 2/17/2018 HAD TO BUY 3 TIRES & FOUND OUT THE TIE ROD & BALL JOINT WERE HANGING BY A THREAD, MECHANIC SAID THE SALES GUY WOULD HAVE SEEN ALL THIS WHEN HE TOLD ME THEY MOVED THE GOOD TIRES TO THE FRONT & PUT BAD TIRES TO BACK, I HAD TO GET NEW BRAKES FRONT & BACK/ NEW BATTERY, THE AIRBAGS WERE MISSING & I ALMOST GOT HIT BC THE TRANSMISSION STALLED ON ME, THE HISTORY THAT I FOUND OUT WITH THIS 2009 DODGE JOURNEY SXT WAS ALREADY IN A ACCIDENT ON 10/18/2017 BC THE TRANSMISSION STALLED, I HAD TO HA TO PUT LOTS OF $$$ INTO THIS VEHICLE THAT I DID NOT WANT TO DO, TO TOP THAT OFF, I HAD TO CALL CANADA & THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE ME AS THE NEW OWNER, I FOUND OUT THE CASH I PAID THE GUY HAD TO PAY OFF A LEON THAT WAS ON THIS CAR, THEN AFTER HE PAID IT, I RECEIVED IN THE MAIL LEON WAS PAID OFF IN FULL,THE COMPANY THAT HAD A LEIN DIDN'T KNOW I BOUGHT THIS CAR & I HAD TO CALL CANADA TO GIVE THEM UPDATED INFO THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR IF &4,263 CASH BC GUY WOULDN'T TAKE A CHECK OR MONEY ORDER/ NOR CASHIERS CHECK, THE LEMON LAW LAWYER I CALLED ON 2/17/2018 I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO STOP PAYMENT BC THE SALES GUY LIED TO ME & SOLD ME A BAD CAR, THE CAR IS IN THE REPAIR SHOP SINCE SEPT 12,2018BC OF THE TRANSMISSION, MANUFACTURING ISSUE THAT I DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH, MY SISTER OPENED A GOFUNDME ME PAGE TO RAISE $$. I BELIEVE DODGE SHOULD PAY FOR THIS TRANSMISSION..

SINCE SEPTEMBER 2018 CAR WOULD NOT START. HAD GONE TO THE DOCTOR AND PARKED IN THE LOT, WHEN I CAME OUT MY CAR WOULD NOT START AND I WAS STRANDED IN THE PARKING LOT UNTIL DARK AFTER THE CLINIC HAD CLOSED. TRIED STARTING IT MULTIPLE TIMES AND ONLY GOT A ʻCLICKʻ THEN NOTHING. HAD TO GET TOWED HOME. IʻM A 59 Y/O FEMALE WITH HEALTH ISSUES. BATTERY WAS NEW SO I HAD THE STARTER REPLACED THINKING MAYBE THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. MY CAR STILL HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. IT WOULD RANDOMLY START. SO ONCE I COULD GET IT STARTED, I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC. HE COULD NOT ISOLATE THE PROBLEM ALTHOUGH IT WOULD STILL RANDOMLY START AND RECOMMENDED THAT I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. I DID AND THE DEALER SAID EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT FINE BUT RECOMMENDED THAT I HAVE THE STARTER REPLACED AS WELL AS THE EGR SYSTEM AND HE QUOTED ME OVER $1200. I CANʻT AFFORD THAT. I HAD ALREADY PAID TO HAVE MY BATTERY TESTED AT SEARS WHERE I BOUGHT MY DIEHARD AND HAD BOUGHT A NEW STARTER THAT MY BROTHER INSTALLED. INSTEAD, I TOOK IT BACK TO MY MECHANIC WHO REPLACED IT WITH ANOTHER STARTED AND EGR SYSTEM FOR $300 LESS. IT ONLY WORKED FOR A FEW DAYS. I ONLY GET A CLICK THEN NOTHING. TODAY, I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I TRAVEL 30 MILES EACH WAY TO GET TO WORK AND THIS IS FRUSTRATING. I TRIED THE ʻBRAKE, ON, NEUTRALʻ AND IT DIDNʻT WORK. I FINALLY GOT IT TO START THIS MORNING WHEN I DID THE ʻBRAKE, ON, MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT SIDE TO SIDE IN THE PARK POSITIONʻ BUT WHEN I GOT OFF WORK THIS AFTERNOON, THAT DIDNʻT WORK. INSTEAD, I DID THE ʻBRAKE, ON, NEUTRAL, PARKʻ AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. I DONʻT KNOW IF IT WILL WORK TOMORROW THOUGH. IS THERE A PERMANENT RESOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM BESIDES NOT BUYING ANOTHER CHRYSLER MADE VEHICLE AND JUNKING THE ONE I HAVE?

THIS(2009 DODGE JOURNEY SXT),IT HAS MANY SAFETY ISSUES, I TOLD THE SALES GUY I DO NOT WANT TO PUT ANY MONEY INTO A VEHICLE, BOUGHT IT ON 2/16/2018, GOT NEW REAR TIRES ON 2/17/2018, I WAS TOLD CAR NEEDS A BALL JOINT/TIE ROD ASAP, NOW I WAS MAD, I GOT HOLD OF A LEMON LAW LAWYER TO GET MY MONEY BACK, HE CAN'T HELP ME BC THE CAR IS A 2009, HE GAVE ME INFO TO CALL & FOUND OUT THE CAR WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT ON 10/8/2017 PASSENGER SIDE, FOUND OUT THE CAR HAD SAFETY ISSUES THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE, SO CAR WENT INTO SHOP ON 2/26/2018 & I GOT IT BACK ON 3/27/2018.

HORN HAS STARTED HONKING INTERMITTENTLY, USUALLY WHILE STATIONARY AND USUALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT (THIS STARTED MID JUNE OF 2018). LAST NIGHT, STARTING AT 12:30AM, THE HORN HAS SOUNDED AT LEAST ONCE OR SEVERAL TIMES EVERY HOUR. CHANGING BATTERY IN REPLACEMENT KEY FOB HAS DONE NOTHING. (KEY FOB WAS RECALLED AND REPLACED SEVERAL YEARS AGO). CAN'T GET AN APPOINTMENT WITH A LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP FOR A WEEK SO HAVE NO IDEA WHY THIS IS HAPPENING.

UPON FULLING UP TO A STOP SIGN AND APPLYING THE BRAKE, MY CAR SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT A DRIVE A BLOCK OR TWO BEFORE IT DID THE SAME THING. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A MECHANIC AND AFTER LOOKING FOR A PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL DAYS THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND IT STARTED AND DROVE FINE. SEVERAL TIMES WITHIN THE PAST 6 MONTHS (JAN-JUNE 2018) I HAVE TRIED TO START MY CAR AND IT WILL NOT START. SOMETIMES MOMENTS LATER IT WILL START, SOMETIMES HOURS LATER IT WILL START. UPON SEARCHING ONLINE FOR POSSIBLE PROBLEMS, I FOUND MANY WHO HAD THE SAME ISSUES (CAR SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING, AND CAR NOT STARTING). IT SEEMS THERE WAS A RECALL TO FIX THESE VERY PROBLEMS. THE RECALL WAS REGARDING THE IGNITION MODULE. I RECENTLY PURCHASED MY CAR FROM ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL AND I DO NOT KNOW IF THE RECALL WAS ADDRESS INITIALLY. HOW CAN I FIND OUT. IF MY CAR WAS NOT FIXED, HOW CAN I GET THE RECALL FIXED NOW? IF IT WAS FIXED, THEN THE VEHICLE IS STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE "RECALL FIX" DID NOT ACTUALLY FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN CAUTIOUS DRIVING IT AS I DO NOT WANT THE VEHICLE TO TURN OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING, AGAIN NOR DO I WANT TO BE STRANDED AGAIN BECAUSE IT WON'T START.

MY CAR RANDOMLY DOESN'T START. I WILL BE PARKED, TURN OFF CAR TO RUN IN STORE WHEN I COME BACK OUT CAR WONT START. BATTERY HAS BEEN CHANGED. STILL SAME ISSUE.

JUST REPLACED BATTERY. WAS WORKING AND STARTING FINE AFTER REPLACING FOR A FEW WEEKS. WENT TO WORK YESTERDAY MORNING AND LEFT FOR LUNCH WITH NO ISSUES. WENT TO START CAR TO RETURN TO WORK AFTER LUNCH AND WOULDN'T TURN OVER AT ALL. I WOULD TURN THE KEY AND GET ONE CLICK BUT NOT TURNING OVER. MY RADIO, LIGHTS AND WINDOWS ALL WORK WHEN KEY IS IN THE ON POSITION. CHARGED THE BATTERY FOR NEARLY 40 MINUTES AND STILL NO START ONLY A CLICK. HAVE ALSO HAD ON-GOING ISSUES WITH WIRING HARNESSES THROUGHOUT VEHICLE.

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY (STRAIGHT) MY CAR MADE A LOUD NOISE AND STARTED SMOKING. WE PULLED OVER RIGHT WAY ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND WAITED TWO HOURS FOR THE CAR TO BE PICKED UP. WHEN WE GOT IT TO THE SHOP BY A TOW TRUCK THE SHOP STATED THAT THE TRANSFER CASE BLEW UP. WE WERE IN OREGON AT THE TIME.

THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW BUTTON BROKE OFF. DON'T HAVE A BUTTON NOW TO ROLL UP OR DOWN ALSO THE DRIVERS SEAT WILL NOT GO UP OR DOWN. HAVE TO SIT ON PILLOWS

SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING, MY VEHICLE JUST SHUTS OFF FOR NO REASON. IT SHUTS OFF WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. ALSO SOMETIMES WHEN I TURN THE HEATER OFF THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF. IT HAS HAPPENED ONCE WHILE IN MOTION AND ONCE WHILE STATIONARY.

MY 2009 DODGE JOURNEY AWD SXT LOCKING MECHANISM STOPPED WORKING. IT WORKED ALL DAY THEN ALL THE SUDDEN THE KEY FOBS STOPPED WORKING. IT WILL TURN THE ALARM ON AND OFF BUT WILL NOT LOCK AND UNLOCK MY DOORS. THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE LOCKS WON'T WORK EITHER. I CAN NOT USE MY HATCH BECAUSE IT WILL NOT UNLOCK. I NOW HAVE TO MANUALLY LOCK MY DOORS FROM THE INSIDE AND LEAN MY SEAT BACK AND CRAWL TO THE BACK TO UNLOCK MY BACK DOORS. I USE THE MANUAL DOOR KEY TO GET IN MY CAR NOW. ALL ELECTRICAL BUTTONS ON MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT WORK. I CAN NOT CONTROL MY LOCKS, WINDOWS OR SIDE MIRRORS. ON TOP OF THAT MY CAR WILL NOT START ALL THE TIME ONLY WHEN IT CHOOSES TO. I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED THE BATTERY TWICE SINCE I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE. ALSO HAD KEY FOBS REPLACED LAST YEAR. I HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP WITH THESE ISSUES. IT IS BEYOND FRUSTRATING THAT THERE ARE SO MANY ISSUES WITH THIS MODEL.

THE HEATER CORE IN MY 2009 DODGE JOURNEY HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS. IT HAS BEEN BEEN REPLACED IN 2014, FLUSHED IN 2015, FLUSHED IN 2016 AND NOW NEEDS REPLACE AGAIN. THIS IS 1300.00 TO REPLACE THE CORE. THIS IS DEFINITELY A DESIGN FLAW AND SHOULD BE REPLACED BY DODGE AT NO COST TO ME. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO PUT OUT THAT KIND OF MONEY EVERY YEAR. THIS NEEDS LOOKED INTO. THE PASSENGER SIDE HAD SOME HEAT BUT NOW HAS NONE. I ALWAYS SEEMS TO BREAKDOWN WHEN IT IS COMING INTO THE COLD SEASON. IT IS NOT FAIR THAT THE CONSUMER SHOULD HAVE TO CONTINUE TO PAY FOR DODGE'S DESIGN FLAW. ALSO, THE BRAKES AND ROTORS ARE ANOTHER ONGOING ISSUE, THEY HAVE BEEN REPLACED NUMEROUS TIMES AT MY COST. THIS IS ANOTHER ONGOING ISSUE WITH THIS PARTICULAR CAR. ALL OF THE WORK THAT HAS BEEN COMPLETED ON MY CAR ARE ON MY CARFAX.

NO FUSE WARNING LIGHT, WON'T START & INTERIOR LIGHTS DON'Y WORK.

2009 DODGE JOURNEY FAILS TO START AT TIMES. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN MORE FREQUENT. I'VE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 4 YEARS AND HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE FOR 3. THE BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED ALONG WITH MANY OTHER COSTLY REPAIRS. THE FAILURE TO START HAS LEFT ME STRANDED ON MANY OCCASIONS AND THE SUGGESTION TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL FIRST WOULD BE HELPFUL IF I COULD DEPRESS THE BRAKE, BUT I CAN'T...IT'S AS THOUGH THEY'RE LOCKED. AS A SINGLE MOM, THIS IS VERY DISCONCERTING AS I AM ALWAYS ON THE GO BETWEEN WORK, SCHOOL AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS.

FOR THE LAST 3 WEEKS WHEN IT GETS HOT OUTSIDE, USUAL OVER 90 DEGREES MY CAR WILL NOT START AFTER BEING PARKED FOR 10 MINUTES OR A FEW HOURS. IT WILL CLICK BUT WILL NOT TURN OVER. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THE MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE BATTERY MAY BE GOING BAD THOUGH IT HELD A CHARGE. I HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED THAT SAME DAY WHICH WAS 5 DAYS AGO FOR $225.00. TODAY THE CAR DID THE SAME THING, IT WOULD CLICK BUT NOT TURN OVER. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PARKED FOR 15 MINUTES WHILE I WENT INTO THE HOSPITAL. A BYSTANDER SAID SHE THINKS IT WAS THE BATTERY BASED ON THE SOUND WHICH I KNOW IT COULD NOT BE AS THE BATTERY WAS JUST REPLACED. I TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO START THE CAR AND IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER. THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE IS 94 DEGREES. I LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW THERE WERE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS IN DIFFERENT FORUMS FROM CONSUMERS WITH THE EXACT SAME MAKE AND MODEL. ONE COMMENTER STATED THAT IF YOU PRESS THE BRAKE THEN PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL THE CAR SHOULD START AND IT WOULD INDICATE THAT THE NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH WAS THE ISSUE. I FOLLOWED THE SUGGESTION AND THE CAR STARTED. AS I HAVE LOOKED THROUGH SEVERAL DIFFERENT ONLINE FORUMS I SEE THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL HOWEVER I DO NOT SEE A RECALL ISSUED.

THE HATCH DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK WITH THE KEY FOB OR FROM THE DOOR UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR. IT WAS SITTING IN A PARKING LOT WHEN I TRIED TO UNLOCK. I ALSO TRIED SEVERAL HOURS LATER AFTER IT HAD BEEN SITTING FOR AT LEAST 4 HOURS, AND NOTHING WILL UNLOCK THE DOOR.

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 50 MPH AND IT SHUT DOWN ON ME AND I ALMOST HAD THE CAR BEHIND ME HITTING ME....THIS IS THE 3RD TIME IT HAPPEN...AND NO ONE KNOWS WHAT WRONG WITH IT

RECALL ON IGNITION, STILL HAVING SAME ISSUE. DODGE REFUSES TO LOOK AT IT. WHEN STARTING THE CAR, DOES THE SAME THING PRIOR TO THE PERVIOUS RECALL. TRIED SEVERAL TIME TO START CAR, THEN HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED, ONCE IN DRIVEWAY IT STARTS.

OUR JOURNEY HAS BEEN IN A SHOP, OUT OF SERVICE FOR OVER 3 WEEKS. IT STALLS AT LOW RPMS AND IS DIFFICULT TO START. WE TOOK IT TO ONE SHOP WHO COULDN'T FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM AND WE THEN TOOK IT TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM EITHER. WE TOOK IT TO A 3RD SHOP AND THEY TRIED SEVERAL FIXES TO NO AVAIL. THEY THINK IT MIGHT BE A TORQUE CONVERTER NOW. IF THAT FIXES THE PROBLEM WE'LL HAVE SPENT OVER $2000 REPAIRING THE CAR AND NOT BEING DRIVABLE FOR A MONTH. IF IT DOESN'T FIX THE PROBLEM THEN I HAVE AN ISSUE EVEN MANUFACTURER TRAINED MECHANICS CAN'T FIGURE OUT.

2009 DODGE JOURNEY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO REPLACEMENT PARTS NOT AVAILABLE TO REPAIR RECALL NOTICE. *SMD

OWN A 2009 DODGE JOURNEY. REPLACED THE HEATER CORE 3 YEARS AGO. WARRANTY FOR 1 YEAR. NEW COIL WENT UP APPROX. 2 WEEKS AFTER WARRANTY. REFUSED TO WARRANTY IT. PAID TO HAVE ANOTHER HEATER COIL INSTALLED. SAID IT WAS WARRANTED FOR 2 YEARS. SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED LAST WEEK. WENT AND TALKED TO DEALER ABOUT WARRANTY FOR THIS ONE. THEY SAID NO, THAT IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY BY 15 DAYS. TOLD ME TO CALL DODGE GOOD WILL DEPARTMENT. THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAD TO PAY TO HAVE IT CHECKED FIRST. THAT COST WAS ABOUT $80.00 AND NO GUARANTEE THAT IT WOULD BE COVERED EVEN THOUGH IT'S AN ON GOING PROBLEM. AN EMPLOYEE TOLD ME THAT THEY REPLACE A LOT OF THESE HEATER COILS. OBVIOUSLY THERE'S A PROBLEM. CHECKED ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THERE'S A LOT OF THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT I'M HAVING, HOT AIR ON DRIVERS SIDE COLD AIR ON PASSENGERS SIDE UNTIL IT TOTALLY GOES UP. SEVERAL MECHANICS ON THE INTERNET STATED THAT IT'S A FLAW IN ITS DESIGN. 2 MAIN PROBLEMS, FIRST SEEMS SPLIT SECOND IT PLUGS WITH SEDIMENT VERY EASILY. OBVIOUSLY VERY LITTLE HEAT WHEN CAR IS RUNNING.

NO HEAT OR DEFROST ON PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR. THIS CAR HAS NOW HAD 4 HEATER CORES REPLACED SINCE NEW. THEY ONLY LAST AROUND 16000 MILES TO 18000 MILES I'M TOLD THAT THEY GET PLUGGED IN SOME MANOR. NOT SURE WHY BUT AFTER 4 TIMES THERE SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURING ISSUE WITH THE DODGE PARTS. AND AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH THIS IS NOT THE ONLY DODGE AUTO THAT HAS THIS ISSUE.

I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET ANY DODGE DEALERSHIP TO HELP ME TAKE CARE OF RECALL RO3 AND I CONTINUE TO GET THE RUN AROUND. I FINALLY GOT ONE TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH AND TOOK THE DAY OFF OF WORK TO GET IT RESOLVED. AFTER WAITING FOR 3.5 HOURS I WAS TOLD THE "PART WASN'T IN" EVEN THOUGH I HAD SCHEDULED THE APPOINTMENT WEEKS IN ADVANCE AND WAS TOLD THEY HAD THE PARTS. SO AGAIN I HAVE GOTTEN THE RUN AROUND FROM DODGE. I DO NOT HAVE CONFIDENCE THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL EVER BE TAKEN CARE OF BY DODGE.

BACK DOORS ON BOTH SIDES FILL UP WITH WATER WHEN IT RAINS OR CAR IS WASHED. YOU CAN HEARN THE WATER SLOSSHING IN RHE DOOR WHEN YOU SWING THE DOOR.

WE HAVE HAD TO EVERY FEW WEEKS CHANGE EITHER THE ROTORS OR THE HUB. EVER SINCE WE GOT THE CAR IN JANUARY ITS BEEN WITH THE ABS LIGHTS ON CONSTINTLY AND SQUELLING COMING FROM THE RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE ONLY. IT EVEN WILL AT TIMES SHAKE LIKE ITS NOT GOING TO BRAKE AT ALL.

2009 DODGE JOURNEY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE RECALL, BRAKES, COOLING FLUSH AND FUEL INJECTION REPAIRS ISSUE. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN SHE WAS FINALLY ABLE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR THE RECALL, SHE WAS INFORMED THE VEHICLE NEEDED OTHER REPAIRS TOTALING OVER $1,000.00. THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THE DEALER WAS BEING DISHONEST AND TRYING TO MAKE MONEY IN LABOR COST. *JB

WE CALLED OUR LOCAL DODGE DEALER, UNIVERSITY DODGE OF FLORENCE ALABAMA AND WE WERE TOLD THAT THE SAFETY RECALL THAT IS REQUIRED FOR OUR VEHICLE WAS NOT ABLE TO BE ORDERED AT THIS TIME, AND MIGHT TAKE UPWARDS OF 2 YEARS TO RECIEVE THE PART TO FIX THE RECALL. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO ME AND ENDANGERS OUR SAFETY AND OUR FAMILIES SAFETY.

I CALLED CHRYSLER ABOUT 2 1/2 TO 3 MONTHS AGO ABOUT MY RECALL AND THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD BE ABOUT 6 WEEKS TO GET ME IN BUT I HAVE YET TO HEAR BACK FROM THEM I'M A MOM THE LAST THING I NEED IS MY CAN DEFECTING CAUSING ME AND MY LIL GIRL TO WRECK AND GET HURT

I RECEIVED NOTICE THAT MY VEHICLE WAS ON THE RECALL LIST FOR THE WIN MODULE AND L25 SAFETY RECALL. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER THE VERY NEXT DAY. THIS WAS IN MAY 2015. I WAS INFORMED THERE WERE NO PARTS AVAILABLE AND THAT I WOULD BE ADDED TO THE WAITING LIST. RECENTLY MY VEHICLE HAS STARTED SHUTTING OFF AFTER I CRANK IT. SOMETIMES THIS HAPPENS WHEN I HAVE JUST CRANKED IT BUT OTHER TIMES I AM MOVING SUCH AS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY OR PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT. I RECALLED THE DEALER AND THEY STILL TOLD ME THERE WERE NO PARTS AVAILABLE.

I HAVE A 2009 DODGE JOURNEY SXT. I BOUGHT THIS NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP IN MCKINNEY, TX. MY COMPLAINT IS THE SUNROOF HAS LEAKED FROM THE DAY I BOUGHT IT AND IT STILL DOES LEAK. DEALERSHIP WILL NOT HELP ME EVEN WHEN IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. I STUCK AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. IT IS GETTING SO BAD NOW THAT I CARRY A SMALL TARP WITH ME SO I CAN PUT IT OVER THE TOP IF THERE IS RAIN IN THE FORECAST. VERY UPSET AND DISAPPOINTED BY THE EFFECT OF CHRYSLER TO HELP ME WITH THIS.

I RECEIVED SAFETY RECALL NOTICE- L25/NHTSA 14V-373 WHICH INFORMED ME TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE DEALER TO HAVE A POSSIBLE SAFETY CONDITION WITH THE FOBIK REPAIRED/REPLACED. IT STATED THAT THE ENGINE MAY SHUTOFF DURING OPERATION AS WELL AS AIR BAGS AND COULD INCREASE CRASH RISK AND OCCUPANT INJURY. AFTER A LENGTHY WAIT OF ALMOST 4 MONTHS OR SO FOR PARTS I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. I SHOWED THEM THE SAFETY NOTICE PRIOR TO THE WORK BEING DONE AND THEY INFORMED ME I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A KEY SHANK. I DISPUTED WITH THEM THAT THE NOTICE SAYS PARTS AND LABOR WERE FREE OF CHARGE. I STILL HAD TO PAY $37.31 FOR THE KEY SHANK THEY GAVE ME SOME TYPE OF EXPLANATION BUT I AM STILL NOT HAPPY THAT I HAD TO PAY ANY AMOUNT OF MONEY BECAUSE THE NOTICE CLEARLY SAYS PARTS AND LABOR FREE OF CHARGE. I HAVE THE ORIGINAL SAFETY NOTICE AND RECEIPTS FROM THE REPAIR WORK.

MY 2009 DODGE JOURNEY WILL SOMETIMES NOT START UP. THE FIRST EVENT WAS ON SATURDAY, JUNE 6TH. THE CAR TURNS ON BUT THE FAILS TO TURN OVER UNRELIABLY AND OFTEN. THE CAR IS UNPREDICTABLE. BEING ABLE TO GO ANYWHERE HAS BEEN A ROLL OF THE DICE. WE HAVE A RECALL ON THE JOURNEY SET UP WITH MILOSCH PALACE DEALERSHIP IN MICHIGAN, OUR DEALERSHIP. HOWEVER, THEY HAVE BEEN VERY UNRELIABLE. WE RECEIVED THE RECALL LETTER IN JUNE. WE WERE SET UP AN APPOINTMENT ON JULY 9TH AND TOLD WE HAD A PART WAITING FOR US. WE SHOWED UP TO THE SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT AND THEY DID NOT HAVE A PART FOR US. THEY THEN TOLD US IT WAS BACK ORDERED AND WE WOULD BE INFORMED WHEN THE PART ARRIVED. IT HAS BEEN OVER A MONTH SINCE THE APPOINTMENT AND OVER TWO MONTHS SINCE WE HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE RECALL AND STILL NO REPAIR. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. WE STILL HAVE YET TO RECEIVE THE PART FOR REPAIR ON THE RECALL.

MY VEHICLE HAS CONTINUED TO SWITCH TO OFF ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. I WAS TOLD IT WAS SOMETHING THAT IS BEING WORKED ON. THEN I WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST OF VEHICLES. THEN I RECEIVE PAPERWORK STATING IT WAS ON THE RECALL LIST. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO INFORMED ME THE PART/PARTS NEEDED FOR THE RECALL ARE ON BACK ORDER. THERE ARE OVER 300 ON BACKORDER. THIS IS PRETTY RIDICULOUS. SO EVERYDAY AS I DRIVE I CONSTANTLY HAVE THE FEAR THAT MY CAR WILL SWITCH TO OFF IN ANY GIVEN MOMENT. ....UPDATED 11/13/15 *BF UPDATED 1/4/2016*JS

DEALER, DENNIS DILLON DODGE IN NAMPA, ID. WON'T FIX OR ORDER PARTS NEEDED FOR THE RECALL ON MY VIN.

NO CRANK/ NO START. BATTERY FINE. GAUGES LIGHT UP. HAVE BEEN TOWED TO DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES IN TWO MONTHS. IGNITION HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE, REPLACED TIPM MODULE, AND WIRE FROM TIPM WITH NO RESULTS. IT'S AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE FIFTH TIME RIGHT NOW.

ON FEBRUARY 22, 2015, MY 2009 DODGE JOURNEY MIRACULOUSLY CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE CAR WAS SITTING IN THE PARKING LOT OF MY CHURCH ON TOP OF A SMALL SNOW PILE. AFTER ABOUT 40-45 MINUTES THE CAR STARTED SMOKING. BOTH THE FIRE AND POLICE DEPARTMENT CAME TO THE SCENE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THAT IT LOOKED AS THOUGH IT WAS AN ENGINE DEPARTMENTAL FIRE. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER ON FEBRUARY 24TH TO GIVE MY STATEMENT AND THEN I WAS NOTIFIED THAT SOMEONE WAS GOING TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE AND THEN LET ME KNOW OF ANY FINDINGS. ON MARCH 6TH I RECEIVED A LETTER STATING THAT THE WINGATE L25 WAS NOT THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE, BUT THEY NEVER MENTIONED WHAT WAS THE ACTUAL CAUSE. NEEDLESS TO SAY I GOT THE RUN AROUND FOR ABOUT A MONTH AND IN THE END CHRYSLER'S LEGAL DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THAT THE FINDINGS WERE UNKNOWN AND THAT THEY WERE NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. MY VEHICLE WAS BURNT UP BY THE TIME IT COMPLETED IT'S COURSE...IT WAS SO BAD TO THE POINT YOU COULD BARELY RECOGNIZE MY CHILD'S CAR SEAT. I DID NOT EVEN HAVE THE VEHICLE FOR A YEAR AND THIS HAPPENED. I'M VERY GRATEFUL THAT NO ONE GOT HURT BECAUSE THIS COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. THIS HAS PUT ME IN A FINANCIAL RUINS AND FIAT CHRYSLER DOESN'T SEEM TO CARE ANYTHING ABOUT IT'S CONSUMERS. I WILL NEVER BUY A CHRYSLER VEHICLE AGAIN.

WE BOUGHT A DODGE JOURNEY 2009 IN 2010 IT HAD VERY LITTLE MILEAGE. IT SEEMED LIKE A NICE VEHICLE. WITHIN A SHORT TIME THE STARTER BEGAN TO FAIL. I NEVER KNEW WHEN I WOULD GET BACK HOME OR TO WORK. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER MANY TIMES.REPLACE BATTERY,FOBIK,HAD TUNEUPS, TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. STILL TRYING--- NOW THEY SAY IT MIGHT BE THE- RANGE SENSOR. WHERE DOES IT END. EACH TIME THE COST IS A LOT. I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO KEEP THE CAR, BUT TIRED OF THE PROBLEM. I GET LOOKS FROM SERVICE DESK WHEN I COME IN. JUST WANT MY CAR FIXED. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT 5 YEARS!!!!! LAST TIME HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED FROM MY YARD ON BACK OF FLATBED TO THE SHOP. IM NOT UNDER WARRANTY ,NOW.

APPROXIMATELY 6 WEEKS AGO I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM FIAT CHYSLER / NHTSA ABOUT A SAFETY RECALL FOR THE WIRELESS IGNITION NODE MODULE ON MY 2009 DODGE JOURNEY. 6 MONTHS BEFORE THAT I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE JUST FROM FIAT CHYSLER THEMSELVES ABOUT THE RECALL. I CONTINUE TO CALL WEEKLY AND AM TOLD THEY HAVE NOT STARTED MAKING THE PART, HAVE NO TIME FRAME WHEN THEY WILL BEGIN SHIPPING THE PARTS AND DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY WILL START DOING ANY REPAIRS FOR MY VEHICLE. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP OR SOLUTION THAT THE NHTSA CAN PROVIDE MY. I HAVE BEEN WAITING PATIENTLY FOR A LONG TIME FOR FIAT CHYSLER RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM AND FEEL THAT THEY HAVE NO INTENSIONS OF EVER DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME FOR MORE INFORMATION OR WITH ANY SOLUTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE IN 2014. NOTIFIED DEALER IN ELIZABETH CITY, NC PROMPTLY, AS INSTRUCTED. THEY INFORMED ME THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER AND WOULD CONTACT ME ASAP. I HAVE CHECKED BACK WITH THEM SEVERAL TIMES IN 2014 AND NOW 2015 WITH NO EXPECTED DATE OF REPAIR. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AS I DRIVE LONG DISTANCES. PLEASE ADVISE WHAT IS MY NEXT COURSE OF ACTION.

ON WEDNESDAY APRIL 22ND, I WAS STRANDED AT THE GROCERY STORE BECAUSE MY 2009 DODGE JOURNEY WOULD NOT START. I REPIDETLY TRIED TO START THE CAR AND I GOT A "BAD KEY" MESSAGE ON THE DASH BOARD. THINKING IT WAS THE KEY, I TRIED MY SPARE KEY THAT I KEEP IN MY BAG BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT START. NOTHING LIT UP AND THERE WAS NO NOISE WHAT SO EVER FROM THE ENGINE. AS A MOM WITH FOUR YOUNG KIDS, THIS IS ONE OF MY WORST NIGHTMARES. NOT ONLY WERE WE STRANDED AT THE GROCERY STORE, WE WERE LATE FOR SCHOOL. WE WAITED FOR AN HOUR FOR SOMEONE TO PICK US UP AND THEN HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE THE CAR TO OUR LOCAL DODGE DEALER. UNFORTUNATELY, OUR DEALER HAS NO LONER VEHICLES WE COULD HAVE USED.ON LAST THURSDAY AFTERNOON, I GOT A CALL FROM THE BROWN DODGE SERVICE WHO TOLD ME THE MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND I HAD TO GET TWO NEW KEYS AS IT ALL COMES TOGETHER AS ONE PACKAGE AND I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST $700. . THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER AND I HAD TO PAY FOR YET ANOTHER TOW TRUCK. SAME SYMPTOM'S, THE CAR WOULD NOT START WHEN I TURNED THE IGNITION SWITCH. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE BROWN DODGE DEALER THEY CLAIMED IT WAS A BAD BATTERY. SO I PAID TO HAVE IT REPLACED. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN BUT LUCKILY THIS TIME THE CAR STARTED AFTER I HAD TO TRY TURN THE IGNITION SWITCH ON ABOUT FIFTEEN TIMES, AND I DROVE IT DIRECTLY TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN. ONCE THERE, I KEPT IT THERE FOR 4 DAYS SO THEY COULD SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON. EVERY TIME THEY TURN THE IGNITION SWITCH, THE CAR STARTED FOR THEM. SO NOTHING WAS FIXED. WELL, THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING EVERY WEEK FOR THE PAST THREE MONTHS. THIS PAST WEEK I WAS STUCK WITH MY CHILDREN AT THE BANK FOR 30 MINUTES UNTIL THE CAR WOULD START. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP CANNOT FIX IT AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. IT IS NOT SAFE AND I AM ALWAYS WORRIED ABOUT MY CAR NOT STARTING.

CAR STOPPED WOULD NOT START. WAS TOLD BY DEALER WESTBORN CHRYSLER THAT CHRYSLER LLC WILL NOT ISSUE THE RECALL IGNITION PART. CAR WAS TOWED TO WESTBORN CHRYSLER 11:31 AM ON 06/08/2015. THE DEALER HAS GIVEN ME PHONE NUMBERS TO CALL TO NO AVAIL. I OWN MY CAR FREE AND CLEAR. MY CAR HAS BEEN AT DEALER FOR 15 DAYS WITH NO DATE GIVEN FOR COMPLETION OF THE WORK. EACH TIME I INQUIRE ABOUT CAR REPAIR, THEY SAY CHRYSLER WON'T ALLOW THEM TO ORDER PART BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT SOLD ENOUGH DODGE CARS. CAR IS UNDER A RECALL. HELP

I BOUGHT MY AUTO IN APRIL 0F 2015 AND WEEKS LATER I STARTED HAVING STARTING ISSUES WERE IT WOULD JUST RANDOMLY NOT START AFTER HAVING THE STARTER AND BATTERY CHECKED OUT AND FOUND TO BE NO ISSUES. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS VECHILE WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE I CONTACTED DEALER AND TOLD ME THEY WOULD HAVE TO CHECK LOTS OF THIS OUT WOULD END UP COSTING ME THOUSANDS. ANOTHER ISSUE I HAVE WITH THE VECHILE IS IT LEAKS IN THE REAR HEADLINER AREA AFTER HAVING IT CHECKED BY A SHOP IT FOUND NO ISSUES VISIBLE READ ON INTERNET AGAIN AND FOUND MORE COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME AS WELL. THIS CAR IS A LEMON AND THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT FIX THESE ISSUES.

THE HORN BEEPS FOR NO REASON WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK. IT WILL GO HOURS WITH NO HONKING THEN WILL HONK FOR AN HOUR BEEP THEN BEEP BEEP BEEP THEN BEEP THEN BEEP BEEP BEEP. AND SO ON. THEN IT WILL STOP FOR A HALF AN HOUR AND START ALL OVER AGAIN THEN STOP FOR A FEW HOURS AND START. MY HUSBAND FINALLY PULLED THE FUSE. WE HAD TO HAVE A NEW BATTERY INSTALLED ON 5-27-15 AND WERE TOLD IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT. DOES IT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL I JUST SAW THAT WAS ISSUED ON 5-16-15

MY CAR DOESN'T START AL THE TIME IT STALLS AND I WAS NEVER ADVISED OF THE RECALLS WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR IN FEB 2015 CHRYSLER HAS NO PARTS TO FIX HE RECALL ON THE IGNITION AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT HOWEVER THEY WANT ME TO LEAVE MY ONLY CAR WITH THEM UNTIL IT STALLS ON THEM FOR THEM, TO DIAGNOSE IF IT IS DUE TO THE RECALL

GOT A RECALL FOR THE FOBIK IN SEPTEMBER WENT TO THE DEALER COURTESY MOTORS THEY SAID THEY PUT OUR NAME ONLIST SHOULD BE IN DECEMBER WELL HERE IT IS END OF FEB. AND STILL NO PART IS THERE STILL AHO;D UP ON THIS PART? ALSO MY AIRVBBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE THEN IS THIS PART OF THE PROBLEM WITH THAT PART.

TELL ME WHY I HAVE THIS L25 RECALL THAT HAS BEEN IN EXISTENCE FOR NOW 3 YEARS, CHRYSLER SAYS THEIR ENGINEERS ARE WORKING ON IT BUT IF YOUR FAMILY OR LOVED ONE GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT HOW WOULD YOU FEEL? WE NEED THIS TO BE RECTIFIED AND A PART NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED. I NEED A RENTAL CAR UNTIL THIS IS RESOLVED PAID BY CHRYSLER. I DONT KNOW WHO TO TURN TO BECAUSE IF IM DRIVING AND ALL THE SUDDEN THE CAR SHUTS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD IN TRAFFIC, THIS COULD SPELL DISASTER. CHRYSLER KNOWS THIS RECALL IS OPEN AND IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT WE HAVE NOT BEEN COMPENSATED FOR THE INCONVENIENCE. WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY ACCIDENTS YET FROM THIS CAR AND THE RECALL BUT THAT NOT THE POINT. *TR

MY VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY STARTS. I PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITIONS ALL THE LIGHTS AND RADIO AND ALL OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS COME ON CAR WILL JUST NOT START. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ALL TEST CAME BACK FINE AND DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING EVERYDAY AND I HAVE TO WAIT HOURS FOR THE CAR TO GET RESTARTED OR WAIT OVER NIGHT FOR THE CAR TO START AGAIN. THIS CAR IS COMPLETELY UNRELIABLE AND I HAVE GOTTEN STRANDED WITH KIDS SEVERAL TIMES FOR HOURS. *JS

THE BRAKE PADS ON THE DODGE JOURNEY WEAR OUT PREMATURELY.

2009 DODGE JOURNEY - HAD A COMPLETE BRAKE REPLACEMENT (ROTORS TURNED, PADS REPLACED) AT 25000 (FEBRUARY 2010) AND NOW AT 53000 WE HAVE BEEN TOLD ALL ROTORS NEED TO BE REPLACE, THE FRONT RIGHT ROTOR IS CRACKED, ALL BREAK PADS NEED TO BE REPLACED. CALLED CHRYSLER TONIGHT 12/27/2010 AT 7:05 PM AND THEY NO REPORTS OF PROBLEMS WITH THE DODGE JOURNEYS AND BRAKE/ROTOR PROBLEMS. THEY ADVISED US TO GET THE VEHICLE REPAIRED AT A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND HAVE THEM SEND IT IN TO CORPORATE. THEY MAY PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT - THEY HAVE NOT PAID FOR ANYONE'S REPLACEMENTS NOR HAVE THEY ISSUED A RECALL. THIS IS MY SECOND LEMON FROM CHRYSLER/DODGE THE FIRST WAS A CHRYSLER 300 WHEN THE FRONT END WOULD NOT STAY IN ALIGNMENT. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS CORPORATION. LOTS OF AMERICANS ARE BEING VICTIMIZED BY THE CAR COMPANIES. THIS ABSOLUTELY MUST BE STOPPED. *TR

THE KUHMO TIRES ON THE 2009 DODGE JOURNEY WERE SHREDDING APART AND SHOWING THE STEEL TREAD. KUHMO IS NOT CURRENTLY MAKING A TIRE TO REPLACE IT AND THEY ARE BACK ORDERED UNTIL MAY OF 2011.
