The engine stalls when driving down the street and / or highway. There have been several complaints online but no one seems to know how to fix it. Also, intermittent no start when trying to start the car. No crank. 2009 Dodge Journey

- Spicewood, TX, USA

When driving, engine light consistently came on. Had vehicle repeatedly checked. It was determined manifolds were sticking. Had manifold module replaced. This solved the problem for approximately 3 months. Manifolds were again checked to ensure they were operating properly. They were and still are. However, engine light remains on indicating otherwise. Mechanic said it is a common "fluke" in the Chrysler vehicles.

- Chicago, IL, USA

Vehicle intermittently won't start at any given time when turning the ignition on it will just click. It may start up after 10 min 2hrs maybe not until the next day. My wife and I have been going through this since we brought this 2009 Dodge Journey new. We took it back to the dealer troy motor mall they could not pinpoint the problem and they charged us. Same problem later nothing changed. Did not start recently first week in October aaa tow truck came and the driver heard the clicking sound and indicated that it was the starter. I took the car in for repair that next week and had the starter replaced and in a few days it was not starting again. I went to the Dodge dealer today and I explained to them what I had been going through all of this time and he still indicated that it would be a $100 to diagnose the problem. I looked up this issue on carcomplaints.com and a person with the same issue indicated that their mechanic found it to be a faulty range sensor attached to the transmission complaint #143 under 2009 Dodge Journey won't turn over, engine won't start. There were quite a few other complaints concerning this same issue that's why it's hard for me to understand why there is no recall concerning this matter. When ever I get it fixed I'd like to be reimbursed by Chrysler Dodge.

This has happen 2 times sense getting it back from the dealer in January from taking it in for the recall for this very problem. This is very dangerous and now I am being told to bring it back to the dealership for a diagnostic test to see if it related to the recall and if not related then I will have to pay for the diagnosis lol yea right!! I have never heard of a car dying while driving it. If I am told I have to pay as mich as one penny the only thing I will be paying for is a lawyer.

The failure that occurred on Feb 12,2016. Put the life of my child and myself in eminent danger. While traveling 70 mph in the high speed lane, with moderate traffic on the highway, the car sudden shut off. The dashboard went black, the engine stalled and the car became almost impossible to drive. Not one indicator light on the inside or the outside of the vehicle worked, I reached for hazard lights that did not respond, the gas pedal was unresponsive. The steering was slow and hard to use- power steering was not available. Brakes seemed slow to respond. I know for certain had I collided with any item the airbags would absolutely without a doubt not deployed. The car had simply decided to "shut off", I put the car in neutral hoping to continue rolling forward down the highway with traffic. I was able to muscle the car to safety on the side of the road. I placed the car in park, and turned the ignition to the off position. After several minutes of calming myself and my daughter down I restarted the car. It started, however now every light that can illuminate on the dash, the wipers, day time running lights, radio, and door chimes in a 30-40 second repeating pattern. The dashboard indicates that the car is in park, reverse, neutral, and all forms of drive at the same time. The speedometer, RPM gauge, gas gauge, oil pressure and temperature gauge bounce from the minimum to the maximum during the cycle. The car has clearly had a extensive electrical failure- the "main computer" - as I dont know the exact component that has failed is no longer able to determine whats going on. Having this terrifying failure with my daughter in the car caused me to google the problem, im not the only owner this is a reoccurring situation for many owners. Im just so thankful to have walked away unharmed

For several years, the vehicle has been stalling intermittently; at traffic lights, when slowing to use an exit ramp, when trying to pull over for an ambulance, etc.... also it intermittently increases to a high RPM for about 10 seconds or so, then returns to normal. This can occur at a constant speed on a level road. Dealer can not find the issue since no 'trouble' light is on. I see what seems to be a similar issue on an internet search, but have not found any cause. After several trips and several hundred dollars paid to Chrysler dealers, nothing has been found and nothing has been suggested. The stalling in traffic is very troublesome as it may cause injury to my family. For this reason, the recommendation to drive it till something breaks is not acceptable as it may be the occupants that 'break'! the last time it happened for me (both the stalling and the revving) is reported below.
