Either sitting or driving, the cars lights come on and it loses power and stops. Sometimes when I try to start it, it won't start and I just got a new battery! there are several people having this problem. I just got my Journey 2 months ago, it was used, and I never could have imagined the problem I having with it! this is my only transportation, and I need it for work! someone said it is the tipm, others have said it's the battery, etc... this happens either while I'm driving or sitting idle!

The issues started after the recall for the speed control computer flash was done, about 2 weeks after I noticed that my rear wiper would only turn on when the car was in reverse. If I would put the rear wiper switch in the on position nothing would happen. So in order to stop the rear wiper from moving while in reverse, I have to leave the switch on the on position, my rear wiper also moves when I unlock my car.. following that my reverse lights do not come on. Then my left tail gate light does not come on when lights are turned on but it does come on when I unlocked the car. When I open the rear hatch door none of the interior lights turn on. So I am forced to open another door if I want the lights to turn on. Also when I go to reverse my back up camera screen goes black and also starts to glitch. This happens occasionally.

5-10-18 had to bring my vehicle in for a new tire and prior to the tire, the ABS light would intermittently pop on and off. This would happen mostly after I started the vehicle and after backing up and traveling a few feet, it would sound and feel like it would catch and grind, then release after traveling about a mile, it would go off. When I brought it in to get the tire replaced, I asked them to look at it, they said the ABS light was coming on because the battery was faulty and they replaced the battery. (I think maybe they just reset something) I asked them to give me an itemized list of parts changed for the work, and I never received it. I only received the invoice for the tire. Now.... rear ended in Dec 27, 2018 - between the accident and time it took holidays/insurance to get me an appointment with dealer, the ABS light started to pop on again and the radio screen grayed out and came back on(so far that has only happened once). My husband let them know to check that as well because there was impact damage on the left front bumper and dealer only repaired the damages reported by adjuster and didn't address the ABS/radio issue. So..... now what? feel like they just put a band aid on it until the warranty ran out and then again after damage sustained in an accident that was not my fault.

Another issue that just started while driving the car or prearranged much just being on is the rear wiper comes on by itself and stays runnin till it wants to stop and when it dose turn itself off the wiper blade stays in the middle position instead of going down all the way.

The contact owns a 2016 Dodge Journey. While driving high speeds, the headlights flickered without warning. The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. While accelerating from a stop sign, the headlights flickered and the vehicle failed to move. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed with a faulty seal, and the transmission was rebuilt. The headlight issue continued to occur. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 600.
