2009 DODGE JOURNEY Engine Problems

I have issues starting it. New starter, new battery and it just dies. Luckily I was parked when it died. I have children, if it dies while driving I could be in a serious car crash with my children in the car. I do not want to die, I love my car but I do not want to be put in danger because of this type of issue. I also do not want to be stranded somewhere. PLEASE HELP.

The Carbondale Fire Department was dispatched to a vehicle fire In the parking lot behind the above-listed address. Fire personnel arrived and found a 2009 Dodge Journey with an engine compartment fire. Fire personnel used tank water and a pre-connected 1 3/4 In. hose line to extinguish the fire. There were no exposures or damage to other property. Upon completing the extinguishment, an origin and cause investigation was conducted, which Included, but was not limited to, scene examination, documentation, and interviews. The owner of the vehicle stated the following: He purchased the vehicle new. He has liability Insurance only through Allstate. This Is not his primary vehicle. He does his own service. No known electrical Issues, and there were no warning lights on the vehicle before the fire. The vehicle has approximately 160,000 miles on It The only known issue with the vehicle was a power steering issue. Before the discovery of the fire, the owner had pulled into a gas station across town to add power steering fluid. Upon leaving the gas station, the owner reported that within a few blocks, he began seeing black smoke coming from under the hood, and there was an odd odor to the smoke. (Review of Oty Video cameras confirmed this account) He pulled in the parking lot at the above-listed address and accessed the engine compartment to find fire on the power steering reservoir, the plastic engine cover, and the cooling fan. He attempted to extinguish the fire with a soda he had and then attempted to retrieve water from a nearby building. Upon returning with water, the fire was too large to extinguish. The scene examination revealed an engine compartment fire that had transitioned Into the passenger compartment during the failure of the front windshield. The hood of the vehicle had completely melted away during the fire. Fire patterns in the engine compartment were consistent with the owners account of the fire. The fire was determined to be unintentional, with the

I've gone through 6 batteries in 1 year and I still have to keep jumping my vehicle Everytime I start it. I am currently stranded in Walmart parking lot with no jumper cables and I am being forced to walk now. Also there are times when I am driving down the highway and at any given moment it acts as if I stomped on the brakes. The lights go off and on, the windows roll up and down, the door locks are out of control and the gauges on the dashboard go out of control as well. I recently bought a new TIPM and ECM because when I replaced the battery it would no longer start. This vehicle is very dangerous and I'm sorry I ever bought it. It seems as if dodge cares more about their money than a human life

Vehicle owner was driving and pulled over when all warning lights began flashing, wipers came on, horn started honking, windows would not go down, doors would not unlock, and vehicle started on fire. Fire appeared to begin in the engine compartment, with fire eventually consuming entire vehicle.

Hi I bought this Dodge Journey on May 24 2021 since the First day I bought it the car started giving me problems the dealer wouldn't take the car back and in stuck with it the engine from the car is Giving me problems it won't accelerate is very scary I'm very concerned because I got kids and also the car started smoking .

The contact owns a 2009 Dodge Journey. The contact stated that several attempts were needed to start the vehicle.

09 Dodge Journey 3.5l v6 issues started the day after I bought the vehicle!! will cut off while driving, stall and cut off at stop lights, stop signs. Way too much heat coming from motor, ac compressor making allot of noise. Overheating issues, brake light switch issue. Cruise control malfunction, driver’s window switch and window not working. Rear tv stopped working after a snow storm, rear ac/ heater not blowing at all, cars won’t shift out of park at all. Headlights stopped working. All lights flashed on and off while driving down the freeway at 80mph, now it’s saying gas cap on dash, while driving to a job the timing belt broke after being replaced 2 months earlier, water pump is leaking after being replaced 2 months ago. Water soaking the passenger and backseat floorboards and I can’t figure out why. This is honestly the worst vehicle I’ve ever bought and I regret buying it at all every day. This vehicle should be outlawed and against the law to sell to anyone.

I have power door locks not working except manually or driver door by key. Key fob and door module for locks will not function. I cannot open the hatch due to power lock function. The Airbag light comes on when vehicle is started and the door is open and only disappears after the door is closed, engine shut off then restarted. Also the engine light came on for awhile then off and is now back on. This is what code scan report says. Engine and Transmission are P0420 Catalyst Efficiency (Bank1), OBDll Codes ($03) is Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 1. The Airbag is U0172 Lost Commuication w/Left Side Satellite Accelerator Sensor 1- Stored. The Door Module- Front Right (DMFR) is B16A5 Passenger Window Switch Backlighting Circuit High-Stored. Not sure exactly what these all mean but I think the Power Locks are a safety issue along with the Airbags. The power locks don't lock after driving it like they used to after driving so many feet.

The gear will not shift unless I press the release button. After I took it for a recall in Route 18 Dodge dealer East Brunswick NJ, it came back without been able to shift. I asked the mechanic why my car is no moving, they said you have to press the release button and shift gears at the same. I told them I didn’t bring my car in like this. After I spoke to “Mike” the manager, he said it was a matter of time. I’m scare for my life when driving because now is making all these sounds on the transmission.

The contact owns a 2009 Dodge Journey. The contact stated while his wife was driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle loss motive power and stalled. The driver restarted the vehicle and continued to drive; however, the failure recurred. The driver was unable to restart the vehicle. The contact had the vehicle towed back to the residence. An independent mechanic went to the residence to inspect the vehicle. The mechanic replaced the starter and installed a new battery however, the failure recurred. The mechanic was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The contact was concerned that the failure was related to the ignition switch and the engine. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.

Something in the engine is causes the alternator to die. I’ve gotten it changed 3 times within a year. The car has been having multiple issues since I purchased it. The file is to lengthy to upload

CAR CUTS OFF WHILE IN MOTION. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT MANY OWNERS HAVE HAD. DEALERSHIPS SAY IT WAS "RELEASED TOO EARLY AND IT HAS A LOT OF BUGS IN THE SYSTEM" I HAVE HAD MY KIDS IN THE CAR EVERY TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED!!! WAS ALMOST IN A WRECK THIS TIME AT MY DAUGHTER'S SCHOOL. ALSO, CAR WILL NOT START SOMETIMES UNLESS I PUT IT IN GEAR AND "TRICK" IT.

I AM NOT ABLE TO OPEN ANY DOORS EXCEPT THE DRIVER DOOR. THE TRUNK WILL NOT OPEN AND DODGE DID NOT BUILD A MANUAL KEY ENTRY FOR THIS MODEL. ALSO I HAVE A STARTING PROBLEM THE CAR STALLS AND WON'T START UNLESS I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL OR JIGGLE THE GEAR UP INTO DRIVE AND BACK INTO PARK. THE CAR TURNS VERY SLOWLY WHEN MAKING LEFT HAND TURNS AND THE ENGINE REVS UP SOMETIMES WHEN IT'S TRYING TO PICK SPEED BACK UP AFTER A TURN. THE DEALER TOLD US IT WAS THE BATTERY AND WE HAD THEM INSTALL A NEW ONE BUT THE ISSUE IS STILL THERE. I'VE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. CUSTOMERS GETTING THEIR BATTER, STARTERS ALL THE RECALLS UPDATED BECAUSE THEY WERE TOLD THOSE WERE THE ISSUES BUT WAS NOT AS THEIR ISSUE STILL EXISTED AS DO MINE. I DON'T WANT TO SPEND A FORTUNE AT THE DEALER UNTIL THEY FIND WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS FROM ALL THE COMPLAINTS BEING THE SAME. I EMAILED THEM FOR SUGGESTIONS OF WHAT THEY THINK IT MAY BE AND THEY JUST SAID TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP.

MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT A YEAR AGO. THE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO 3 MECHANICS, REPLACED THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD 2 TIMES AND THE LIGHT KEEPS COMING BACK ON. THERE'S A RECALL ON VEHICLES FOR 2011, BUT NOT FOR 2009. PER ALEX AT THE DODGE DEALERSHIP, THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG.

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. *TR

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 $100.00 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.

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.

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.

RECALL DATE IS: MARCH 1, 2011. I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WHICH HAS ALMOST GOTTEN ME IN A WRECK. I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC BUT THE LAST TWO TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED I WAS BARELY ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. ONE TIME I WAS DRIVING ON A TOLL ROAD IN AUSTIN, TEXAS AND GOING OVER A BRIDGE AND HAD TO PULL AS CLOSE TO THE CENTER CEMENT WALL AS POSSIBLE AND RESTART MY VEHICLE AND HURRY TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC BEFORE I WAS HIT. THIS LAST TIME THAT IT HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING ON MY WAY TO WORK ON AGAIN A BUSY 4 LANE ROAD AND WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO AN ENTRANCE OF AN APARTMENT COMPLEX AND RESTART MY VEHICLE. BOTH TIMES IT HAS BEEN A CLOSE CALL. MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP KEEPS TELLING ME THAT THERE IS CURRENTLY NO REPLACEMENT PART AVAILABLE. THIS IS BECOMING VERY FRUSTRATING AND ALSO VERY SCARY AT THE SAME TIME. CAN YOU PLEASE ADVISE ME AS TO WHEN THIS REPLACEMENT PART MIGHT BE AVAILABLE. LIKE IT SAID I HAVE. *TR

I'VE ALREADY COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS ISSUE AT LEAST 3 TIMES. WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR IT WILL NOT START. NOTHING HAPPENS. THE ONLY WAYS TO GET THE CAR STARTED AT THAT POINT IS: MOVING THE BATTERY AROUND, REMOVING AND PUTTING THE BATTERY CABLES ON THE BATTERY (TO RESET IT), AND PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND TURN THE KEY. SO YOU TELL ME, DOES THIS CAR NEED TO BE RECALLED??? I'M STILL PAYING ON THIS POS (PIECE OF [XXX]) WHICH MAKES NO SENSE. I NEED THIS CAR RECALLED AND MONEY BE RETURNED.

I ALSO HAVE HAD TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE BRAKE SYSTEMS AND AM CURRENTLY RECEIVING WARNING LIGHTS FOR THE ESP AND BAS. THE MODEL YEAR IS POORLY MANUFACTURED AND THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY.

VEHICLE WILL STALL WITHOUT WARNING FOR NO APPARENT REASON AT ANY SPEED. ON OCT 3, 2014 I WAS TAKING MY CHILD TO SCHOOL WHEN THE CAR STALLED IN AN INTERSECTION. AFTER THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I PROCEEDED TO THE INTERSECTION AND STALLED UPON ENTERING THE INTERSECTION. I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND RESTART WITHIN ~10 SECONDS. THIS ISSUE REPEATED ITSELF AT LEAST TWICE WHILE EN ROUTE FROM MY HOME TO A NEARBY SERVICE SHOP (FOLTZ AUTO) WHICH DETERMINED THERE WAS NO ISSUE THE BATTERY OR IGNITION. ON 10/5/14 I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HERITAGE CHRYSLER (21234) AND HAD THE CAR SERVICED FOR TWO REASONS: THE MAIN REASON WAS THE ABOVE ISSUE AND A SECONDARY ISSUE WAS THE MAIN ODOMETER (NOT THE TRIP ODOMETER) AT SOME POINT HAD RESET ITSELF LEAVING A DISPLAY OF AN INCORRECT MILEAGE MUCH LOWER THAN THE ACTUAL MILEAGE. THE DEALER COULD NOT RECREATE THE STALLING ISSUE OR OFFER ANY SOLUTION, BUT NOTED THAT ANOTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUE WAS CAUSING THE ODOMETER TO DISPLAY AN INCORRECT MILEAGE; THE FIX WAS TO REPLACE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ASSEMBLY. AFTER HAVING THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER REPLACED, THE ISSUE DID NOT REOCCUR UNTIL 12/26/2014, WHEN THE CAR STALLED THREE TIMES WITHOUT WARNING AT ~40 MPH, LEAVING THE CAR COMPLETELY "DEAD" EACH TIME, AND ONCE CAUSING THE CAR TO VEER QUICKLY TOWARDS ANOTHER CAR AS I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF TURNING THE WHEEL AROUND A SLIGHT CURVE WHEN THE CAR LOCKED UP. THE CAR RESTARTED IN NEUTRAL AND CONTINUED ON IN EACH INCIDENT UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY REACH MY HOME - I DID NOT FURTHER DRIVE THE CAR. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE MANUFACTURER KNOWS, OR SHOW KNOW, OF MULTIPLE ISSUES WHERE THIS MODEL AND MODEL YEAR VEHICLE HAS RANDOMLY STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND CAN NOT OFFER A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. CONSUMERS ARE LEFT TO GUESS WHICH REPAIRS TO UNDERTAKE AT SIGNIFICANT EXPENSE, WHILE DRIVING A CAR THAT COULD CONTINUE TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUES. *JS

TRIED TO START CAR JUST CLICKS WON'T TURN OVER. LIGHTS, RADIO EVERYTHING TURNS ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. SOMETIMES IF YOU WAIT IT WILL START, SOMETIMES IF YOU MOVE THE GEAR SHIFTER AROUND IT WILL START. SOMETIMES MY BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON THEN TURNS OFF AFTER STARTING AGAIN. SAME FOR MY OTHER INDICATOR LIGHTS. ALSO MY BACK SEAT DOORS WILL LOCK FROM THE OUTSIDE AND YOU CANT GET THEM TO UNLOCK WITH THE BUTTONS OR THE KEY FOB. ONLY BY CLIMBING IN THE BACKSEAT TO UNLOCK THEM. STARTING PROBLEMS SEEM WORSE AFTER CAR SITS FOR LONGER PERIOD OR DURING COLDER WEATHER. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. *TR

I HAVE COMPLAINED SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THESE ISSUES WITH THIS STUPID CAR, AND ITS CRAZY THAT IM STILL PAYING FOR IT!!! THE CAR WAS PURCHASED BRAND SPANKING NEW AND I'VE BEEN HAVING THE SAME [XXX] ISSUES SINCE DAY ONE. WHEN I PUT THE KEY FOB IN THE STARTER SWITCH THE CAR GOES DEAD. THE ONLY WAY THE FREAKING CAR WILL START IS BY TRY TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL. IF THAT DOESN'T WORK THEN I MOVE THE BATTERY AROUND UNTIL I HEAR A CLICK FOR A CONNECTION. IF THESE DON'T WORK I DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE AND POSITIVE ON THE BATTERY. EVENTUALLY THE CAR WILL START AFTER SPENDING AN HOUR OR SO TRYING TO GET IT STARTED. IM DISABLED AND TRULY HAVE AN EXTREMELY HARD TIME WITH THIS CAR. THIS ENTIRE CAR SHOULD BE RECALLED!!! THE OTHER ISSUE IS THAT THE ALARM DOESN'T WORK. ONCE THE ALARM GOES OFF, THE KEY FOB WILL NOT OPEN THE CAR AND WILL NOT TURN THE ALARM OFF. ALSO THE "KEY WITHIN THE FOB" DOESN'T OPEN THE CAR DOOR WHEN THE ALARM IS ON. ALL I CAN ASK IS THAT YOU HELP ALL OF US WHO ARE HAVING THESE CRAZY ISSUES!!! DO SOMETHING [XXX]!!! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY @ ABOUT 70 MPH SUDDENLY THE STEERING LOCKED UP AND THERE WAS NO POWER. WHILE I WAS TRYING TO MERGE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY( I HAD TO CROSS 3 LANE, I WAS ALMOST HIT BY MULTIPLE CARS. I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE CAR. I MANAGED TO GET OFF TO THE SIDE OFF THE FREEWAY AND HAPPENED TO LOOK DOWN TO SEE THE IGNITION KEY TURNED TO THE OFF POSITION. I DONT HAVE ANY OTHER KEYS ATTACHED TO IT BECAUSE I HAD JUST HAD THE STARTER REPLACED MAYBE 1 WEEK BEFORE & WAS ADVISED NOT TO. I STARTED THE CAR THINKING MAYBE IT WAS A FREAK THING AND IT WOULDNT HAPPEN AGAIN. IT DID 2 DAYS LATER. THIS TIME I WAS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION TURNING LEFT ON A GREEN ARROW. JUST AS I STARTED TO TURN THE CAR TURNED OFF MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN AND BARELY MISSED A GROUP OF PEOPLE ON THE SIDEWALK WHERE MY CAR ENDED UP BEFORE STOPPING. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE SERVICE CENTER THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM. THIS WAS NOT A DODGE, CHRYSLER, OR JEEP DEALERSHIP EITHER.

RECENTLY MY 2009 DODGE JOURNEY HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING STARTING PROBLEMS. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY BECAUSE IT WOULD START BY JUMP STARTING IT. THEN IT BECAME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE, AND I HAD THE BATTERY CHANGED. THAT WORKED FOR ABOUT A WEEK, THEN THE PROBLEM BEGAN GETTING WORSE. YOU WOULD DRIVE THE CAR FOR ABOUT 10 TO 15 MIN, TURN IT OFF AND WHEN YOU COME BACK IT WOULD NOT START. AFTER A FEW TRIES IT WOULD FINALLY START. WHEN IT DID HAPPEN IF YOU WAITED FOR 10 MIN OR SO IT WOULD START RIGHT UP. THEN ONE MORNING I DROVE 7 MILES AND HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF, CAME BACK AND IT WOULD NOT START. TRIED FOR 10 TO 15 MIN AND EVEN TRIED TO JUMP START IT WITH NO LUCK. I PROCEEDED TO GET A RIDE TO WORK, THEN CAME BACK THAT NIGHT AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO A PEP BOYS ( A NATIONAL CHAIN) (DEALERSHIP WAS CLOSED) AND LEFT IT THERE. THEY RAN ELECTRICAL, STARTER AND IGNITION TEST ON IT THE NEXT DAY AND FOUND NO PROBLEM. THEY STARTED OVER 40 TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF THE DAY AND IT STARTED EVERY TIME. NOW IS WORKING, BUT FOR HOW LONG. I HAVE SEARCHED THIS ON THE INTERNET AND SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE DODGE JOURNEY. THERE IS NO REAL SOLUTION, JUST A BUNCH OF GUESS OF WHAT'S WRONG.

HAD TO REPLACE A TWO TIRE SENSORS. HAD TO HAVE MY ROTORS RESURFACED WILL NEED NEW ROTORS. RECENTLY THE ENGINE COOLANT OVERHEATING LIGHT CAME ON. THE FAN STOP WORKING ITS ELECTRICAL THE MECHANIC CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY IT STOP. MY CAR SOMETIMES DOESN'T START, TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC. NO REASON WHY.
