There was a bunch of long lines on the screen and the key fob wasn't detected even though the key was in the car. This happened as the car wouldn't crank up. The car wouldn't register that it was in park. It reflected that it was in batter save mode. The A/C cuts on by itself. Even after cutting it off a few times. The issue with the A/C was happening with both front and rear units. The rear would blow out a lot of hot air and it wouldn't sync. The issue with the key fob just happened today (9/13/19)

I have been having problems with the power windows. There is a clicking sound when attempting to roll the window down. It rolls down sometimes. After that's been going on for a few weeks, my car cut off. I received a jump through my insurance. Today, my car got jumped and cut off twice. The mechanic said it was the alternator. I went online and I found that other people have had the same issues with Dodge, Chrysler, and Fiat. Each time my car didn't restart, it was after I parked and came back to it. Today, it's being towed.

Journey

  • 66,400 miles
Car shuts off while driving at any speed. It sh*ts off while parked or stopped at a stoplight. The car will not turn back on. Sometimes it take about 30 minutes and it will restart but will only run for about 5-10 minutes. When trying to start the car, we press the brake and then the start button and the car violently jerks as it tries to start, but will not turn over. It has happened since we bought the car March 2019 but the dealership wont take the car back or trade it for something else.

Takata recall : urgent: Overtime I've had electrical issues which effects not just the plug inserts inside the vehicle but also my alarm system foes not work and my horn just does not work anymore, air bag light that popped up on my dashboard which I feel maybe some wires might be detached but scares me that when I drive the air bag wont detect if I get into an accident, also I recently just had an issue with my engine cooling and started to smoke out of nowhere while on the freeway and ended up getting stuck for hours but even if I drive for a few seconds the gauge shoots to hot right away and and coolant started leaking everywhere. I have attached the 6 out of 10 recalls that did not get done. I brought my car into bud clary's of auburn in March of 2019 and had 4 recalls taken care of. I have advised that I still had 6 orhers that were reported back in 2015 that I never got done and wanted to take care of that as well. Was told that it does not show in the system and I would need to contact NHTSA for more details. Ive reached out to a few people who gave me the same information.

Takata recall : well the electrical I have always had an issue with. All outlets inside the car stopped working within 3 months after I recieved my car. At that time I did get recalls about electrical. Never brought it in as I did not think it was an issue until the steering wheel horn does not honk anymore and my car does not make a sound when I lock it. Also the airbag light just popped up out of nowhere so im unsure if theres a wire that got loose somehow which is a bit scary

Takata recall: When trying to adjust the climate control to "sync the passengers" and turn off the rear controls, within seconds the computer is turning the vehicle's "sync" off and turning on the rear control. As I was trying to adjust the temperature it will keep turning the controls off of sync and turn the rear controls back on. It happens whether I'm sitting I'm idle or driving, there have been no conditions that affect the way its working.

I have just paid to have my grandson's Dodge Journey repaired. The dealer said there was a recall on this problem but not for our VIN number. He could not start the vehicle and there were multiple flashing lights. They found water in the ABS unit, wire shortage going to the starter, they installed 68194693af replaced the ABS hya unit and module at a cost of $577.50. The total cost to service the car to make it start was $1218.55. I consider this to be a safety hazard for a college student that depends on a safe car. The vehicle started cutting out on the interstate with the car going 65-70 mph. He pulled into his drive and turned the ignition off, lights started flashing and he could not restart the vehicle. It was towed to the dealership by aaa and was there for 4 weeks. It was picked up today 4/03/2019. The date it happened is an estimate.

Purchased vehicle in April of 2015, transmission pump went out on it in July 2016 while on vacation moving through the entrance gaits at where we were staying. Was fixed under warranty on vacation. Dealership did not even give us a loaner while waiting. The following April 2017, it happened again while driving to work only they had replace entire transmission. Now my vehicle jerks when switching gears and stalls randomly when I come to a stop. I am at 76K miles. This new transmission is still under warrenty since it has not been a year. This car is a lemon!!! I will be getting rid of it soon. I was hoping to keep it after I paid it off, but I don't think it will last for me to see it get paid off! I have also had a seat track fixed and the radio and navigation replaced, as well as the wiring harness for the steering wheel and cruise control. All during warrenty thankfully. Makes me angry because I do not want to start over on a loan and I will not be able to buy at the same interest rate.

Repeated system low voltage issues, vehicle stalls while driving - does not matter the speed - it has done it at 50 - 60 miles a hour rendering power brakes and steering useless. Stalls at red lights or stop signs while moving or still. It is worse during cold and rainy conditions. Vehicle will eventually start back up after about 20 minutes of being stranded. Yesterday during pouring down rain and cold it stalled at a busy intersection repeated attempts to start unsuccessful finally after about 20 minutes of blocking traffic in the intersection it finally started and I was able to move out of the intersection. Error codes read P0562 system voltage low and P0335 crankshaft position sensor a circuit. There is a recall on 2016 Dodge Journey for the crankshaft camshaft sensor wire harness but not the 2015. Best I can tell the internet is riddled with numerous Dodge Journey's with these symptoms! someone needs to investigate this issue and fix it for us! the expense that consumers are encountering is unacceptable especially since they are not resolving the issues. This is a safety hazard and the liability that Dodge will have should consumers continue to be hurt because this continued issue will be bad should class action law suit come because of this.
