problem #5

Mar 052019

Journey

  • 8,000 miles
My car started off with the engine light coming on and then soon after, as I slowed down and turned, my engine shut off, I lost all power steering, and the battery remained on. This has happened since many times and is completely random. (doesn't matter if I just started the car, I've been driving for 20 minutes, warm weather / cold weather, it just happens when it happens.) more recently, the tcs (traction control system) will turn on randomly. (I have footage of the road being 100% clear while this is on in my car.) it will not shut off once it turns on. It makes it so I can't speed up hardly at all which of course hasn't had the best outcomes on the highway. And along with that, if I'm driving and take my foot off the gas, the sputters quickly for a moment and jerks the car down as if the brakes lock for a moment. Lastly, the car recently made clicking noises and I'm having trouble with the gas filling up. (it says it's full when it's clearly not) I've taken my vehicle in before and they said they couldn't find anything wrong. I had to cancel a recent appointment due to the flooding in Iowa but I'm afraid there is something far worse that they wont be able to fix, like last time. I'm sure this is a great vehicle, but I got a lemon for sure. There's currently 8,155 miles on the vehicle and I bought it new as of 10/01/2018. Clearly something is very wrong with the vehicle.

Journey 4-cyl Diesel

  • 356 miles
While driving on the highway in my brand new Dodge Journey that was purchased less than 2 weeks ago, all the vehicles came to a stop and were stationary. My car included was stationary or stopped. While waiting for traffic to go, my foot was on the brake when my car suddenly accelerated (was in motion) and started to move forward. My foot was still on the brake when this occurred. I continued to push down the brake as hard as I could and pump the brake to make the car stop but it felt like the brake pedal would not go down. My brakes did not work and the vehicle in front on me ended up stopping my car. I pulled over to the left shoulder of the highway as much as I could and put my car in park and called highway patrol.

I thought this vehicle came with a back up camera? I though it was mandatory that all vehicles sold after May 2018 will have a back up camera installed.

Purchased this vehicle 7/13/2018 and it is not equipped with a backup camera. Dodge is also advertising that this is standard equipment on the vehicle. They also did not disclose that the vehicle was not equipped. As far as I know all vehicles are to be equipped by May 1, 2018. This was purchased from peacock in brunswick,
