While driving my engine caught on fire. My safety was put at risk because I had to pull over and get out the car. Flames started coming from the hood of the car. I just dropped my newborn baby off 10 minutes prior and was around the corner from picking up my other child. I had to call 911 and wait for the fire department to come. I tried to put it out myself but the fire was too great and I was afraid it would explode. My check engine light was on but I was told it was for an old misfire. I haven-??t not had any issues with my vehicle, I drive it to work everyday. Vehicle has not been inspected by insurance as I do not currently have active insurance on vehicle. Chrysler customer service states because vehicle is 13 years old they are not liable. No dodge dealership will look at vehicle because it will be difficult to find issue alas the vehicle is totaled. There is a recall R32 starting in 2011 for this model. My engine although made in 2010 is the same engine in the recall. 2.4 liter 4 cylinder.

There is a lighting bolt that repeatedly pops up on dashboard and the car cuts off immediately in mid drive !! I have been to the dealership spent $3200 plus and it just keeps coming back on. Also all the lights flicker on and off while driving or when you hit the turning signals this is ridiculous!! It-??s 2022, these issues should had been recalled !!! This is horrible and unsafe especially when driving with children!

Drove to the park, parked the car. Went for a walk, came back 20 minutes later, car would not start. Turn the key, no sound, all dash light come one, car will not crank, no sound at all. towed the car to my house, and charged battery for a full day. Car same issue, will not crank, no noise. I turn the key to on, press on the brake and move to neutral, and car still no start. I use the remote starter, and car just clicks a few times and does not start. Basically turning the key to start, lights come on as usual, then no noise no crank no start. this is third day of trying to start this car, never had issues with it for over a year, and never with starting car. No warnings at all, no lights on to show anything bad before this, and no warning after it happened, scanner show no faulty codes detected. From the park waited to be towed and got home after 10 PM, safety, it got dark, it rained and unreliable to just not start.

Vehicle loses power while driving. Sometimes it will not start being stranded with kids as this vehicle was produced as a family car. Had battery, alternator, starter replaced. Have read numerous reports from google about vehicle not starting due to safety security features, problems with the fuse box, needing a yellow wire grounded that is located under the hood, and so on. If this is a know issue with these vehicles for over 10yrs why has it not been recalled to be fixed. As I drive the vehicle on the freeway with MY KIDS in it endaragering our lives and the many others who are on the road with me and the countless other dodge journey drivers. FIX THIS ISSUE. MAKE DODGE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR MISTAKE AS THEY KNOW WHAT THEY DID.

Vehicle keeps randomly stalling while driving. Vehicle will shut off and I have to turn the ignition off completely then let it sit to restart. Sometimes I have to put vehicle in neutral to get it to start. Had battery, fuel, spark plugs, alternator checked and they are working fine. Random lights keep flickering on the dash. This must be an electrical issue. Please issue a recall!!!! several other owners with the same make and model have complained about the exact same issue.

On 06/05 car would not start at big lots store thought battery had died and started immediately after getting jumped which happens often if leaving a light on or door slightly ajar so went to walmart next and left car running to make sure would not need to get jumped afterwards and when I came out of store car was no longer running. A walmart associate came out to jump car for me and after car started it went dead again after a few seconds of started. I went inside and bought a battery in case I needed a new battery however it turned out to not be the case after being at walmart for 3 hours trying to get car to stay on long enough to get out of parking lot I was able to get it home for it to shut off again. I tested it out the following day and only made it to the end if the block and it shut off on me again. I stayed at the end of the street for an hour until my husband was able to get it going long enough to get it back home and has remained there until I get this issue solved. My husband has learned online that lots of other people with the same vehicle have this same issue with this vehicle where one day they can drive around fine and the next the vehicle shuts off as if the battery is dead.

I was driving down the highway and my car stalled completely. I had to coast to the side of the highway and try to restart my car. Also, have issues with battery being drained of all power, had to replace battery. My horn randomly beeps whether driving or not. Alarm system will sound all hours of night, had to pull fuse. Since then the hazard lights randomly blink off and on. The day after the engine stalled on me, now have a check engine light on and code is throwing out its the erg valve system and gasket... these are big issues and need to be repaired. I'm not happy with these issues and Dodge needs to do something about it.

The car engine stalls without warning, power steering locks up and brakes lock up causing all passengers to become a "sitting duck" prone to incoming impacts!

Driving down the road my car shut off on its own. I had to put the car in neutral to get it started again. This is not the first time it happens frequently. I found out that a recall on the ignition switch module had been repaired but it is still hepening so I feel the recall needs to be reopened. If it goes unfixed I fear it will cause a serious accident.

My wife was driving the car and it shut off while driving. The engine and electric system shut off and she could not use the brakes. She had to coast to a parking lot and then it started up again. We have taken it into a mechanic and there is no information on the computer regarding what happened. He cannot diagnose the problem.
