2010 DODGE JOURNEY AWD Steering Problems

THE HEAT DOES NOT GET HOT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEN DRIVING ANYWHERE OR WHEN PARKED. THE HORN RANDOMLY GOES OFF WHEN I'M DRIVING ON THE STREET EXPRESSWAY AND ALSO WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED AND SHUTOFF. THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED OR WHILE DRIVING ON ALL ROADS. THE AIRBAG INDICATOR SOUND CHIMES CONTINUOUSLY WHILE I'M DRIVING ON ANY ROAD. I WENT TO DRIVE MY CAR LAST WEEK IN THE EXTREMELY COLD TEMPERATURE AND DISCOVERED I HAD NO POWER STEERING. I GOT OUT THE CAR AND ALSO DISCOVERED HUGE AMOUNTS OF POWER STEERING FLUID IN THE SNOW WHERE I WAS PARKED. IT WAS EVIDENT SOMETHING RUPTURED CAUSING THE MY VEHICLE TO LOSE ALL OF IT'S POWER STEERING FLUID. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE THAT THESE RECALLS DO NOT EXIST FOR MY VEHICLE. I WANT SOMETHING TO BE DONE ABOUT THESE ISSUES ON MY VEHICLE. IT'S CLEAR THAT THE DODGE JOURNEY HAS DEFAULTS. THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE ISSUES. PLEASE ASSIST WITH THESE ISSUES. THANK YOU.

WAS LEAVING WORK AND LOST STEERING. UPON CHECKING REALIZED THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING FLUID IN CAR. I ADDED POWER STEERING FLUID AND STARTED CAR IT IMMEDIATELY STARTED RUNNING OUT OF THE CAR JUST INSIDE AND BEHIND THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION I DISCOVERED THE RUBBER LINE HAD SIMPLY SLID OFF OF THE HARD LINE. IT SLID RIGHT BACK ON. THE FACTORY "SPRING" CLAMP CAN BE COMPRESSED WITH MY FINGERS. I TOOK IT OFF AND REPLACED WITH A WORM GEAR CLAMP TO INSURE THAT IT STAYS ON. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A REAL DANGER IF IT HAD HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I AM ATTACHING A PICTURE OF ORIGINAL CLAMP.

POWER STEERING MAKES A WHINNING SOUND WHEN STARTING THE SUV. THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF AND THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON DUE TO ELECTRICAL ISSUES. MY IGNITION ALSO SLIPS WHILE DRIVING.

LOW PRESSURE POWER STEERING HOSE RUPTURED AND BEGAN LEAKING UPON START UP IN COLD WEATHER

FOR THE FOURTH TIME NOW I HAVE HAD TO HAVE MY VEHICLE IN TO HAVE THE POWER STEERING HOSE REPLACED!!!! AND OF COURSE, I AM AM BEING TOLD THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE A FACTORY BLOCK HEATER INSTALLED SO IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO DISAPPOINTED BY A COMPANY IN ALL MY LIFE!!!! EACH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IT HAS CAUSED A HUGE INCONVENIENCE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. THE FIRST TIME THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT A SCHOOL FUNSTION. STARTED IT, LET IT RUN FOR ABOUT 5 MIN AND WHEN I ACCELERATED TO LEAVE MY POWER STEERING WAS GONE. SECOND TIME, I WAS PARKED, WENT TO START IT AND WENT TO LEAVE. AGAIN, NO POWER STEERING. THIRD TIME I WAS PARKED IN A LOT FOR SHOPPING. I STARTED IT, WENT TO LEAVE AND NO POWER STEERING. THE FOURTH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE. I STARTED IT REMOTELY. WHEN I WENT TO BACK OUT OF THE GARAGE THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING. IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER NO LESS!!!! I WAS LEFT ONTHE SIDE OF ROAD WITH MY TWO KIDS LAST FRIDAY WHEN THE TEMPERATURE HERE IN MN WAS -20. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?! ALL OF THESE OCCURRENCES HAVE HAPPENED INT HE DEAD OF WINTER. NOT TO MENTION THE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS I HAVE TO KEEP ON PAYING TO HAVE THIS FIXED. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL, BUT I CAN'T BE COMPENSATED UNDER THE RECALL BECAUSE IT DOESN'T HAVE A BLOCK HEATER?. A BLOCK HEATER HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH POWER STEERING HOSES BLOWING OFF ON START UP IN WINTER. I REALLY NEED HELP AS I AM SINGLE MOM WITH TWO KIDS AND CONNOT AFFORD TO CONTINUE TAKING TIME OFF FROM WORK TO TAKE MY VEHICLE IN FOR THIS PROBLEM. ANY HELP OR INFORMATION YOU MAY BE ABLE TO PROVIDE IS GREATYL APPRECIATED!!

WHEN DRIVING, BOTH AT LOW NEIGHBORHOOD SPEED AND AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THE ENGINE STALLS, LIGHTS AND RADIO STAY ON, STEERING WHEEL LOCKS AND BRAKES LOCK. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES INTERMITTENTLY AND UNPREDICTABLY. I DIDN'T BECOME SCARED UNTIL IT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS ON A HIGHWAY GOING 60MPH AND ALMOST WRECKED TRYING TO SAFELY EXIT (DATE INDICATED BELOW). THE CAR IS NOW IN MY DRIVEWAY BECAUSE I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. A MECHANIC SAID IT WAS RELATED TO A PREVIOUSLY-ISSUED SAFETY RECALL BUT WHEN I CALLED A DEALER TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE RECALL REPAIR, I WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, DESPITE THE GLARING SIMILARITY. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE AND, AS STATED, DEALERSHIPS WILL NOT REPAIR MY VEHICLE FOR FREE.

THIS CAR IS SIX YEARS OLD AND I HAVE NOW HAD TO REPLACE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS THREE TIMES. EACH TIME THE TECHNICIAN INDICATES THAT THERE IS MINIMAL BRAKE PAD LEFT AND THE ROTORS ARE RUSTED, PITTED AND OVERHEATED. THEY RECOMMEND IN EACH CASE THAT THE THE REPAIR IS A SAFETY CONCERN. WHAT I HAVE READ ONLINE FROM OTHER JOURNEY OWNERS IS THAT THE BRAKES ARE WOEFULLY INADEQUATE FOR THE VEHICLE SIZE AND WEIGHT. IT IS TIME THAT CHRYSLER REPAIR THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL.

I AM CURRENTLY THE OWNER 2010 DODGE JOURNEY AWD. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE TIRES, BRAKES, AND ROTORS NUMEROUS TIMES; NOISE FROM DRIVER DOOR, WINDOWS ROLLING DOWN AND DOORS UNLOCKING BY THEMSELVES, HARD SHIFTING IN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION,CAR PULSATES/STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES VIOLENTLY WHEN BRAKING STARTING AT ABOUT 40 MPH. I HAVE FREQUENT PROBLEMS WITH THE LOCKS AND ALARM WHEN TEMPERATURES DROP BELOW 40 F, CAR DOES NOT ALWAYS LOCK OR UNLOCK USING EITHER KEY FOB OR BY PRESSING BUTTON IN CAR, MUST PRESS IT MULTIPLE TIMES. LOCK MECHANISM COULD BE HEARD ATTEMPTING TO TURN, LOCK NEXT TO WINDOW APPEARED TO BE JUMPING SLIGHTLY. I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR NOT STARTING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THE KEY FOB OUT, TURN IT AROUND, AND INSERT IT AGAIN. IT SHUT OFF ON ME AS I WAS DRIVING 65MPH ON A MAIN HIGHWAY.. ALMOST CAUSING A CRASH. RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND IT CAME BACK THAT MY MODULE WAS BAD, I CHECKED ONLINE AND IT SEEMS THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS MODULE BUT ONLY FOR THE "RING." I CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER AND AFTER TWO WEEKS OF GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH THEM AND THE DEALERSHIP, THEY INFORMED ME THEY WOULD NOT HELP DUE TO HIGH MILEAGE AND OUT OF WARRANTY. WE ARE TOLD ONLY DEALERSHIPS CAN GET THIS PART, INSTALL IT, AND PROGRAM IT. MY GOOGLE SEARCHES ON THIS ISSUE SHOWS WAY TOO MANY RESULTS FOR THIS NOT TO BE A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT CHRYSLER REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE DONE ON THIS PART AS WELL WITH ALL OF THE 2010 DODGE JOURNEY'S NOT JUST THE ONES FROM A CERTAIN PLANT. ONCE I TURN OFF THE CAR, YOU CAN HEAR THE COMPUTER SHUTTING ITSELF DOWN AND MAKING ALL KINDS OF NOISE, THEN IT APPEARS TO REBOOT, THE RADIO WILL TURN ON AND STAYS ON FOR FIVE MIN. THE AUTOMATIC STARTER STARTS ON IT'S OWN ONCE YOU SHAKE THE KEY FOB.. NO NEED TO PRESS THE BUTTON ANYMORE?! KUHMO TIRES ON THIS VEHICLE HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE IN ONE YEAR. *TR
