2010 DODGE JOURNEY Steering Problems

I went to go start my vehicle to commute home from work and had no power steering. I did some research and saw that my vehicle model from 2007-2016 was recalled for this issue

Powering steering went out again for the 4th time. Had to have car towed to repair shop again 1/21/22. Will upload 4th receipt when repair is done.

STARTED THE CAR TO GO TO WORK AND HAD NO POWER STEERING. TOOK THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC AND HAD SOME BROKEN LINES REPLACED. TWO DAYS LATER WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AGAIN. I LOST CONTROL AND ALMOST LANDED IN A DITCH. TOOK BACK TO THE MECHANIC AND THE SAME LINES BUT AGAIN.

Mileage: 159,000

THIS IS THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW WE HAVE TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING LINES. LAST YEAR THE RETURN LINE BURST WHILE DRIVING. NOW JUST YESTERDAY ( 02/09/2021) A LINE BURST AGAIN WHILE DRIVING.THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS THIS ISSUE IN THE WINTER. IT STARTED TO BE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. IT FELT LIKE THE POWER STEERING PUMP WAS LOCKING UP.

Mileage: 120,000

POWER STEERING RETURN HOSE BROKE OFF CAUSING NO STEERING. CLOCK SPRING IN STEERING WHEEL BROKE CAUSING HORN TO GO OFF BY ITSELF AND AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT TO STAY ON.

Mileage: 94,918

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME WITHIN THREE MONTHS THIS HAS HAPPENED. FIRST TIME I WAS DRIVING AT 30 MPH AND WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OVER. SECOND TIME. DRIVING AND ALL THE SUDDEN LOSE POWER STEERING. A HOSE UNDER CAR KEEPS BURSTING AT THE PINCH CLAMP AND LOSING ALL POWER STEERING FLUID. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE THIS WINTER. LAST NIGHT AT START UP WITH BELOW FREEZING TEMPS. CAR STARTED HEARD A NOISE LIKE I RAN OVER SOMETHING ( CAR WAS IN PARK) AND LOST ALL POWER STEERING FLUID.

Mileage: 160,000

WHEN TURNING ONE DAY MY HORN HONKED BY ITSELF. I THOUGHT MY HAND SLIPPED AND ACCIDENTALLY HONKED THE HORN THEN A FEW DAYS LATER WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT I HEARD IT AGAIN. IT HONKED TWICE BY ITSELF, CAUSING THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES AND ALMOST CAUSED A CRASH. THAT SAME DAY I HEARD IT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS OFF. I WAS I SIDE AND MY HORN HONKED AT LEAST 15 TIMES BY ITSELF. I KNEW IT WASN'T MY KEYS BECAUSE MY KEY FOB HAD BEEN DISCONNECTED FROM MY CAR.

I HAD BOTH OF MY CHILDREN WHO ARE 7 AND 10 IN THE VEHICLE. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED. IT HAPPENED 6 MONTHS AGO, AND MY MECHANIC SAID THE CODE WAS A FAULTY TPM WHICH WAS REPLACED. IT THEN HAPPENED A MONTH AGO, AND THE MOST RECENT TIME WHICH WAS LAST WEEK. I'VE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE AND IT SEEMS THAT THE DODGE JOURNEY HAS HAD THIS ISSUE, AMONG OTHERS. IT SEEMS AS IF THIS VEHICLE NEEDS A COMPLETE RECALL.

EVERY TRIP TO THE DEALER THEY HAVE TOLD ME THE VEHICLE IS FINE, ERASE ANY SENSORS THAT APPEAR ON THE DASH, AND SEND ME HOME UNTIL THE PROBLEMS CONTINUE TO HAPPEN. REMOVED THE FUSE TO SILENCE THE HORN NOISE BUT HAS CONTINUED TO DRAIN THE NEW BATTERY. HAVE HAD NO LUCK WITH THE VEHICLE AND NOW I CANNOT DRIVE IT BECAUSE IT KEEPS DYING. THERE IS A LOT WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE.

I STARTED MY 2010 DODGE JOURNEY AND WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. I BEGAN TO GO AROUND A SHARP CURVE AND REALIZED I HAD LOST ALL POWER STEERING.

MY WIFE AND 10 MONTH OLD BABY WERE ALSO IN THE VEHICLE. I LATER LEARNED THAT THE POWER STEERING RETURN LINE HAD RUPTURED. I WOULD CONSIDER THIS A ISOLATED INCIDENT AND NOT A VEHICLE PROBLEM IF THERE WASN'T ALREADY A RECALL FOR OTHER DODGE JOURNEYS WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM.

MY 2010 DODGE JOURNEY IS LEAKING POWER STEERING FLUID, WILL NOT HOLD POWER STEERING FLUID, MAKING LOUD GRINDING NOISES WEN I TURN, ACCELERATE ETC. THIS IS A RECALL AND THIS VIN SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL. I AM SO DISAPPOINTED WITH CHRYSLER DODGE BECAUSE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE. IF NEED BE I WILL FILE ANY KIND OF SUIT NECESSARY! THERE ARE MANY OTHERS WITH THE EXACT PROBLEM EXACT MODEL AND YEAR, IT'S NOT A COINCIDENCE

SOMETIMES 5 MINUTES SOMETIMES AN HOUR BEFORE IT WILL START. BATTERY TESTER, ALT, AND STARTER CHECKED. ALL CLEAR, THEN TO ADD TO ASK IF THAT IT ALL OF THE SUDDEN STARTS OVER HEATING ABOUT 10 MINUTES UP THE ROAD. REPLACE THE THERMOSTAT, FLUSH THE LINES AND IT STOP OVER HEATS.

THE AUTOS HORN WILL ACTIVATE UNINTENTIONALLY CAUSING SAFETY CONCERN OF TROUBLING OTHER DRIVERS THE CAR CAN BE IN MOTION OR STATIONARY AT THE TIME

Mileage: 115,000

THE POWER STEERING ON THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY AT LOWER SPEEDS. POWER STEERING SUFFERS FROM A LACK OF POWER CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO BECOME HARD TO MOVE AND UNDRIVABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SHOP AND TOLD THAT THE DEALER HAS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE, S08. THE RECALL IS FOR THE HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST HOSE, PIPING, AND CONNECTIONS. THE DEALER STATES THAT THE RECALL DOES NOT APPEAR FOR THE VIN. THE MANUFACTURER STATES THAT EVEN THOUGH THIS MODEL YEAR AND ENGINE SIZE DO HAVE THIS RECALL BECAUSE IT DOES NOT HAVE AN ENGINE BLOCK HEATER IT DOES NOT QUALIFY. THE ENGINE BLOCK HEATER HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE POWER STEERING OF THIS VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE S08 RECALL THAT OTHER VEHICLES OF THIS YEAR AND MODEL AND ENGINE SIZE ARE COVERED BY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WHILE MAKING A TURN. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN DRAINED OF THE STEERING FLUID.

PARKED VEHICLE TO ATTEND A 2 HOUR SCHOOL FUNCTION. IT WAS APPROX. -20 DEGREES OUTSIDE IN THE EVENING. WHEN I WENT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME THE POWER STEERING WAS GONE. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE TO GET THE 3 MILES HOME. ONCE WE WERE HOME WE COULD SMELL POWER STEERING FLUID BURNING FROM THE ENGINE. WE PARKED THE VEHICLE, OPENED THE HOOD AND THERE WAS POWER STEERING FLUID ON TOP THE ENGINE AS WELL AS SPRAYED UNDERNEETH THE HOOD. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE ON THE DODGE JOURNEY STARTING IN MAY 2016. CHRYSLER RECALL # S08. I CHECKED MY VEHICLE'S VIN WITH YOUR WEBSITE. IT CAME BACK AS NOT BEING INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BEING LOOKED INTO AS MY VEHICLE DISPLAYED THE EXACT ISSUES ON THE RECALL.

Mileage: 144,000

CAR ENGINE STALLS WHEN BRAKING, SLOWING DOWN AND ALSO STOPPING AT STOP SIGNS. RANDOMLY OCCURS OFTEN

Mileage: 188,000

TAKATA RECALL WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP LIGHT THE CAR LOCKED THE STEERING AND BREAKS. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS UNABLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND ENDED UP GOING HALFWAY THROUGH THE LIGHT. I TURNED THE CAR OFF THEN BACK ON. IT WAS FINE. ABOUT A MONTH LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED AS WE WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. WE HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE STEERING OR BREAKS. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO OPEN RECALL SO THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT FOR FREE. I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR TWO MONTHS AGO.

DRIVER SIDE FRONT WINDOW/LOCKS/MIRROR CONTROLS DON'T WORK. REAR WINDOW CONTROLS DO WORK ON DRIVER SIDE. LOCKS AND PASSENGER WINDOW CONTROLS WORK ON PASSENGER SIDE. ALL IS EXACTLY AS IN SAFETY RECALL K07-FRONT DOOR WIRING HARNESS (STOPPED WITH MODEL YEAR 2009) SO WHY IS MY EXACT PROBLEM (2010) SHARED BY SO MANY OTHER 2010S ON THE INTERNET, TOO? I AM FRUSTRATED. MECHANIC CANNOT FIND PROBLEM. CONSIDERING BUYING A NEW MASTER SWITCH FOR DRIVER DOOR-OTHERS SAY REPLACING IT DIDN'T WORK! IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM-SYMPTOMS EXACT AND TO THE "T"...RECALL WINDOW CUTOFF TOO SOON!!! WAS NOTIFIED OF IGNITION/KEY FOBICK RECALL, THANKFULLY! CAR OCCASIONALLY ALMOST DIES, CHUGS, AND KEEPS RUNNING. CAR STARTS AND RUNS GREAT-INTERMITTENT ALMOST DYING THING ALWAYS OUT OF THE BLUE! NOT NOTIFIED ABOUT HIGH PRESSURE POWER STEERING HOSE LEAKING PROBLEM-JUST PAID TO HAVE THAT REPLACED. POWER STEERING MAKES TERRIBLE NOISE WHEN TURNED TO RIGHT. SUSPENSION RATTLES LIKE A BOX OF BONES! WHAT NEXT? I'M GETTING THE SENSE THAT THIS VEHICLE ISN'T SAFE TO DRIVE (ESP. W/MY SON IN THE CAR)! DIAGNOSTICS AND REPAIR BILLS AND QUOTES REALLY STARTING TO STACK UP-THE MORE I LOOK INTO THIS 2010 DODGE JOURNEY REGARDING MY PROBLEMS, SEEING SO MANY OTHERS WITH SAME EXACT PROBLEMS-REALLY SURPRISED THAT THE RECALL LIST ISN'T MORE THAN IT IS! HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO LIVE THROUGH THE SAME POOR QUALITY ISSUES BEFORE THE MANUFACTURER TAKES CARE OF THESE SOMETIMES SEEMINGLY PANDEMIC PROBLEMS??? STARTED BEFORE 116,000 MILES - NOW 120,115 MILES.

3 DAYS AGO WITH THE CAR ALARM SOUNDING IN EARLY MORNING. I WENT OUTSIDE TO SEE WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND THERE WAS NOTHING THERE TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT. THEN A FEW MINUTES LATER THE CAR JUST STATED RANDOMLY HONKING IT HORN ON ITS OWN! NOW THIS IS ALL HAPPENING WHILE CAR WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY. I THOUGHT THAT MAYBE MAYBE IT WAS PART OF THE SECURITY ON THE CAR AND THEN IT STOPPED ABOUT 5 MINS LATER. WHILE STILL PARKED. LATER ON IN THE DAY I TOOK THE CAR OUT TO DO SOME THINGS WHEN IT STARTED RANDOMLY HONKING IT OWN HORN. THIS WAS ALL HAPPENING WHILE I WAS ON A MAJOR ROAD. THIS THEN CREATED A VERY DANGEROUS MOMENT BECAUSE I GOT DISTRACTED BECAUSE I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHY THE HELL MY CAR JUST STARTED RANDOMLY HONKING IT HORN AND IT WOULDN'T STOP FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES. MULTIPLE PEOPLE STOPPED BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT I WAS HONKING AT THEM WHICH CAUSED THINGS TO GET VERY CRAZY. SO NOW I KNOW SOMETHING ISN'T RIGHT, SO I DECIDED TO TAKE THE CAR BACK HOME FOR EVERYONE'S SAFETY AND WELL BEING.SO NOW THE CAR IS BACK HOME AND THE RANDOM HONKING HAS STOPPED. WE ALL WENT TO BED, AND AT 12:00 PM THURSDAY NIGHT. IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE PARKED IN DRIVEWAY,IT WOULD BEEP AND BEEP AND THEN STOP AND BEEP AGAIN AND THEN IT WOULDN'T STOP BEEPING AND THEN IT WOULDN'T STOP. NOW I THEN GOT REALLY NERVOUS BECAUSE THIS JUST ISN'T SAFE AND IS ANNOYING FOR THE POOR NEIGHBORS TRYING TO SLEEP. SO LUCKILY ABOUT 10 MINS LATER THE HONKING HAD STOPPED. I WENT BACK TO SLEEP HOPING IT WOULDN'T CONTINUE TO HAPPEN. NOW ITS FRIDAY THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY HONKING FOR THE LAST FEW HOURS WHILE ITS BEEN PARKED IN DRIVEWAY ALL NIGHT. NOW THROUGH THE WHOLE FRIDAY NOTHING SEEMED TO HAPPEN UNTIL ABOUT 7:00 PM, IT HAPPENED AGAIN THE CAR STARTED BEEPING ITS HORN AND THIS TIME FOR ABOUT 10 MINS RANDOMLY DURING THAT TIME WHILE IT WAS PARKED. KNOWING THAT THIS WASN'T GOING TO STOP I TOOK OUT HORN FUSES FOR NOW,BUT NOW I HAVE NO HORN!

THIS IS REGARDS TO RECALL R03 ON A 2010 DODGE JOURNEY. I HAVE BEEN A A RECALL LIST FOR MANY MONTHS. MY VEHICLE TWICE NOW HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING FOR NO REASON. AFTER HAVING THE CAR LOOKED AT AND SPENDING MONEY I DON'T HAVE, IT WAS DETERMINED IT WAS DUE TO THIS RECALL. I HAVE MADE CALLS TO THE DEALER AND TO CHRYSLER. ALL I AM TOLD IS THESE PARTS ARE ON RESTRICTION AND THEY ARE SORRY BUT THEY CAN NOT HELP ME TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF AT THIS TIME. WHY IS CHRYSLER NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF IT'S DRIVERS. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED WHILE MY SON WAS DRIVING HE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR EVEN KILLED. WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR THEM TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF? WHEN I AM ABLE TO AFFORD ANOTHER CAR IT WILL NOT BE A CHRYSLER PRODUCT OF ANY KIND.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON A LONG DISTANCE ROAD TRIP, WHICH I DO QUITE OFTEN, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO VIBRATE AS I WAS DECREASING THE SPEED FROM 65 MILES PER HOUR. I HAVE SINCE HAD MY TIRES REPLACED AND THE TPMS ON ONE OF MY WHEELS BECAME CORRODED. THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED. I HAD MY BACK BRAKES REPLACED, THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED. I HAD MY WHEELS ALIGNED, THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED. MY MECHANIC IS CURRENTLY REPLACING THE AXLE ALONG WITH MY FRONT BRAKES. HOPEFULLY, THIS FIXES THE PROBLEM. MY DAUGHTER IS IN COLLEGE AND MY FAMILY AND I WILL BE MAKING 8 HOUR ROAD TRIPS OFTEN. I AM FINANCIALLY OBLIGATED TO THIS VEHICLE AND NEED IT TO SERVICE MY FAMILIES NEEDS. DODGE NEEDS TO ENSURE THAT THEIR VEHICLES ARE SAFE AND RELIABLE.

MY STEERING STARTED TO VIBRATE EXCESSIVELY AND THEN THE BRAKES STARTED TO GET HOT, IT SOUNDED AS IF I WAS RUNNING OVER THE BUMPS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THAT WARN DRIVERS THEY ARE ABOUT TO LEAVE THE ROAD; HOWEVER, I WAS NO WHERE CLOSE TO THEM. THEY EVENTUALLY STUCK AND BEGAN TO SMOKE. I STOPPED THE CAR AND LEFT IT IN A PARKING LOT SO THAT IT WOULD NOT BURN TO THE GROUND IF I DECIDED TO DRIVE IT. BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE ROTOR AND CALIBER WERE CHANGED AND I AM STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES STICKING. *TR

WHILE DRIVING INTO WORK THIS MORNING MY HORN BEGAN TO GO OFF ON ITS ON AND RANDOMLY. NOTHING I DID WOULD STOP THE HORN FROM GOING OFF.

SUPERSTITION SPRINGS CHRYSLER REPLACED THE WIN MODULE AT A COST OF $492.46. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE OR BE INJURED BEFORE THE MANUFACTURER ACCEPTS RESPONSIBILITY, INITIATES A RECALL AND TAKES CARE OF THE PROBLEM AT NO COST TO THE VEHICLE OWNER??

JUST LIKE MANY 2009 AND 2010 JOURNEY OWNERS, I TOO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE VEHICLE NOT TURNING OVER TO START. IT HAS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 2 DOZEN TIMES IN THE PAST 2 MONTHS AT RANDOM. SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START 3 TIMES IN ONE DAY AND THEN THE PROBLEM WILL NOT OCCUR FOR ANOTHER WEEK. ONCE THE KEY IS IN THE IGNITION AND I TURN IT, I HAVE BATTERY POWER, IT SIMPLY WILL NOT PUSH THROUGH TO ACTUALLY START THE VEHICLE. THIS IS VERY IRRITATING AND I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE FOR THE DEALER SO OF COURSE THEY WILL DO NOTHING FOR ME. I ALSO HAVE NOTICED THAT ON THE FREEWAY, WHEN GETTING ABOVE 60 THE STEERING WHEEL FEELS SHAKING WHICH IS QUITE TERRIFYING AND THEN IF I GO TO BREAK, IT FEELS VERY WOBBLY. AGAIN, NOT SOMETHING THAT I CAN REPRODUCE AT THE DEALER AND THEREFORE CANNOT BE FIXED. I LOVED MY CAR FOR THE FIRST COUPLE YEARS I OWNED IT, BUT LATELY IT IS NOT UP TO PAR AND WORRIES ME TO DRIVE WITH MY 2 KIDS IN FEAR OF THE UNPREDICTABLE STEERING ISSUE OR BEING STRANDED IF IT DECIDES TO NOT START AT ALL. *TR

I DO NOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ISSUED FOR THE 2010 DODGE JOURNEY FOR THE BRAKE, TIRE, AND ROTOR ISSUE! I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRES WHICH WERE AN ARM AND A LEG BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT A COMMON TIRE/SIZE , THEY WANTED ME TO SWITCH TO A DIFFERENT TIRE SIZE WHICH THEN WOULD AFFECT THE SPEEDOMETER.. NO WAY.. I HAVE HAD TO PUT 3 SETS OF ROTORS ON THE CAR AND 2 SETS OF BRAKES, AND GOING ON 2ND SET OF TIRES.. YOU CAN'T TELL ME THERE ISN'T AN ISSUE.. IF I COULD GET RID OF THE LEMON I WOULD BUT FINANCIALLY I AM NOT IN A POSITION TO. I HAVE A FRIEND WITH AN IDENTICAL CAR/COLOR AND WE HAVE THE SAME STORY.. RIDICULOUS! PLEASE HELP THE OWNERS OF THIS LEMON! *TR

SO FAR, 3 SETS OF ROTORS HAVE BEEN PUT ON THIS VEHICLE (1 FROM FACTORY AND 2 FOLLOW ON SETS BY DEALER DUE TO CONTINUAL FAILURE OF ROTORS...) THERE ARE ONLY 21000 MILES ON THIS JOURNEY AND IT WILL SOON NEED A 4TH SET OF ROTORS. THE PERSISTENCE OF ROTOR FAILURE MAKES IT HARD TO STEER THE CAR SAFELY AS THE STEERING WHEEL SHIMMIES VIOLENTLY WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. THE ROTOR FAILURES ARE ALSO CAUSING UNSAFE, PREMATURE AND UNEVEN WEAR ON THE TIRES. IN ALL, THE 2010 JOURNEY IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF THE CONSISTENT ROTOR FAILURES. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT DO DO.

SINCE WE PURCHASED OUR DODGE JOURNEY IT'S BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WE OWN A 2010 JOURNEY. WE'VE HAD TO REPLACE BRAKES AND ROTORS, STEERING MAKES A VERY LOUD NOISE WHEN TURNING ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE ELECTRICITY AND MY VEHICLE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE I WITNESS THE SAME PROBLEM WITH ANOTHER PERSONS CAR SAME DODGE JOURNEY WE ALWAYS GET OUR CAR THE NECESSARY OIL CHANGES AND MY ENGINE MAKES A VERY FUNNY NOISE EVEN OUR MECHANIC WAS WORRIED HE TOLD US THAT OUR CAR IS STILL NEW THAT MY ENGINE HAS TO BE LEAKING BECAUSE EVERYTIME WE GET OUR ROUTINE OIL CHANGES IT SEEMS LIKE THE CAR IS LOW ON OIL. ALSO WHEN I START DRIVING AWAY IT LOSES SPEED AND MAKE A VERY UGLY SOUND. THIS IS BY FAR THE WORST INVESTMENT EVER DO NOT THROW YOUR MONEY AWAY ON ANYTHING DODGE OR CHRYSLER GARBAGE EXPENSIVE GARBAGE THEN WHEN YOU CALL THEM UP THEY SAY THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I THINK THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE MORE STRICT ON THESE KIND OF THINGS THIS IS OUR MONEY HERE WE PAY TAXES ON THESE CAR MORE SHOULD BE DONE TO PROTECT THE CONSUMER. *TR

I HAVE HAD MY TIRES REPLACE ABOUT EVERY 25,000 MILES THE ARE WEARING REALLY BAD ON THE INSIDE I HAVE HAD ALIGNMENTS DONE AND THERE IS NO ISSUE WITH THE ALIGNMENT I HAVE SPENT OVER $1000 ON TIRES NOT SURE IF IT IS CAUSED BY THE BRAKES AND ROTORS BEING BAD. I'VE HAD THEM REPLACED TWICE ALSO. *TR

WENT TO HAVE MY BRAKES INSPECTED DUE TO A SCREECHING SOUND. THE SOUND AT 1ST LASTED ABOUT 2 WEEKS. BY THE TIME I MADE IT TO THE BRAKE SHOP IT OF COURSE STOPPED. UPON INSPECTION OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM WE WERE TOLD THAT IN 3 MORE DAYS THE BRAKES WOULD HAVE WENT OUT. WE DO NOT DRIVE HARD OR EVER HAVE TO STOP FAST. MY HUSBAND & I LEARNED THAT THE BRAKE SYSTEM HAS AN KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE BRAKE SHOP.. WE WERE TOLD THE BRAKES WILL SCREECH & THEN STOP WORKING IF NOT FIXED RIGHT AWAY! THAT'S VERY SCARY AS WE DON NOT WANT TO CRASH & KILL SOMEONE OR OUR SELVES. THE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED STARTING WITH THE CALIPERS & WAS RUBBING IN THE PAD CAUSING EXTREME WEAR & IS WAS SAID THE MANUFACTURED BRAKE ARE NOT MADE TO STOP A VEHICLE SO HEAVY AS OURS. AND FOR THAT REASON WE WERE TOLD TO FILE A COMPLAINT. I CALLED DODGE & WAS TOLD THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED & WE WOULD HAD TO PAY FOR IT ON OUR OWN. ALSO WHEN WE BOUGHT THE DODGE IN 2010 BRAND NEW THE ALIGNMENT WAS OFF & WAS PULLING TO THE RIGHT. AFTER HAVING THE ALIGNMENT & BRAKES REPAIRED FOR A SECOND TIME IN UNDER 2YEARS IT IS CLEARLY AN ISSUE WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM. THIS TIME IT WILL COST US $575.00 TO REPAIR JUST THE BRAKE SYSTEM.. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED ASAP! BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR KILLED!! AND DODGE SHOULD OWN UP TO THIS ISSUE! IN ADDITION THE A/C HAS A LOOSE CONNECTION & WILL STOP BLOWING FOR NO REASON. AND OTHER ISSUE TO DEAL WITH IN HOT WEATHER! *TR

TWICE TODAY, MY 2010 DODGE JOURNEY SHUT OFF AFTER MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN. THE VEHICLE STOPPED ACCELERATING AND BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. LUCKILY, I WASN'T IN BUSY TRAFFIC AND NO ONE WAS TURNING BEHIND ME. OTHERWISE, MY KIDS AND MYSELF COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED FROM AN ACCIDENT. I CHECKED ON-LINE TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AND FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT SIMILAR ISSUES. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY VEHICLE DIDN'T QUALIFY FOR ANY RECALLS OF THAT NATURE. WHAT IF I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH A SEMI-TRUCK BEHIND ME? *TR

STARTED WITH A FLASHING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AFTER AWHILE WILL STAY ON & ONLY FLASH INTERMITTENTLY. DEALER FOUND CODE FOR #1 CYLINDER MISFIRE & A TSB TO UPDATE THE SOFTWARE. 2 WEEKS LATER IT RETURNED, WHEN THE LIGHT FLASHES THE STEERING WHEEL & FRONT END SHAKES. NO CODES, NO TSBS. IT RETURNED WITHIN 80 MILES OF LAST TRIP TO DEALER, THEY PERFORMED TSB 18-024-10 CRANK SENSOR SHIM, LIGHT RETURNED ALONG WITH THE SHAKING WITHIN DAYS. DEALER REPLACED FLEXPLATE. AGAIN THE LIGHT RETURNED WITHIN DAYS. NEXT THEY DID SOME FORM OF ENGINE CLEANING, LIGHT RETURNED WITHIN 500 MILES OF LAST ATTEMPT TO FIX. CODES ARE ALWAYS#1 CYLINDER MISFIRE & RANDOM CYLINDER MISFIRE. ON MAY 16TH THE DEALER LOOKED AT IT, DID A COMPRESSION CHECK OF THE CYLINDERS, ALL GOOD. CHRYSLER SUPPORT TOLD THEM TO CHANGE THE PCM.

I HAD A 2010 DODGE JOURNEY THAT CAUGHT FIRE WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND PROCEEDED TO BURN TO THE GROUND. I WAS TURNING TO PARK IN FRONT OF MY FRIEND'S HOME, WHEN THE FIRE BURST OUT OF THE ENGINE, NEAR THE WINDSHIELD. THIS, ON ITS OWN, MAY NOT BE OVERLY MONUMENTAL, BUT THERE ARE MANY FACTORS INVOLVED THAT I BELIEVE NEED TO BE BROUGHT TO PUBLIC ATTENTION. FIRST, THE CAR WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW OFF THE LOT 2 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE MARCH 11 INCIDENT. THE INSPECTION SHOWED THAT THE ISSUE THAT CAUSED THE FIRE WAS A DEFECT INVOLVING THE STEERING FLUID LINE....AN ISSUE THAT HAS OCCURRED MANY TIMES IN THIS VEHICLE!! THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 2009 JOURNEY, BUT NOTHING FOR THE 2010. SEEMS TO ME THAT WHATEVER THE TOLUCA MEXICO ASSEMBLY PLANT HAS BEEN DOING WRONG, HASN'T BEEN RECTIFIED!!! CHRYSLER NEEDS TO RECALL THIS VEHICLE AGAIN!!! CHRYSLER LEGAL, TOLD ME IT WASN'T GOING TO HAPPEN! SECOND, CHRYSLER LEGAL DEPARTMENT IS BEING EXTREMELY CURT, AND UNHELPFUL IN RESOLVING THINGS FOR US. THEY ARE 'ALLOWING' US TO KEEP OUR CURRENT LOAN IN PLACE (FOR THE CAR THAT EXPLODED) AND 'GIVING' US THE CURRENT MSRP ON THAT CAR (A 2010) TO FIND ANOTHER NEW CHRYSLER VEHICLE. THEN, THEY SAID THAT THEY MIGHT REIMBURSE A PERCENTAGE OF THE MANY THINGS THAT WERE IN THE CAR....LIKE MY 2 BRITAX CAR SEATS! AT THIS POINT, I'M INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATED, AND DESPERATE FOR THE MESSAGE TO GET OUT ABOUT HOW CORRUPT CHRYSLER IS, AND HOW DANGEROUS THIS VEHICLE IS. I WOULD BE COMPLETELY DEVASTATED TO FIND THAT THIS ISSUE TOOK SOMEONE'S LIFE, AND I HADN'T TRIED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!! THANK YOU *TR

DEC. 29TH 2010. I HAVE A 2010 DODGE JOURNEY R/T. IT IS NOT EVEN A YEAR OLD. IT HAS TAKEN ME SEVERAL TIMES TO TURN THE CAR ON EACH TIME I GET IN THE CAR. IT STALLS WHILE I AM DRIVING. THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH AND NAV FLASH ON AND OFF FOR SOME CRAZY REASON. THE ALIGNMENT IS AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN OFF. THE CAR MOVES TOWARD THE RIGHT. THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES WHEN I SLOW DOWN. NOW THE BRAKES ARE MAKING NOISES. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO TWO DEALERSHIPS TO BE SERVICED NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT HAS LEFT MY CAR ON EMPTY(THE GAS) AFTER IT HAS BEEN SERVICED. THE DEALERSHIP CONTACTED DODGE(THAT IS WHAT THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID) OVER A MONTH AGO, AND STATED THAT THEY WERE WAITING ON A PART TO PUT A DEVICE ON MY CAR TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG. I HAVE CALLED TWICE AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT & THEY WILL NOT CALL ME BACK. SO I GUESS I HAVE TO DRIVE AROUND A CAR THAT IS DANGEROUS AND DODGE IS DOING NOTHING. I DO NOT ACCEPT THIS!!!! SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. IF THE SERVICE DEPT. WON'T CALL ME WHAT AM I TO DO. AND THE WARNING SCREEN FOR THE NAV. DOESN'T COME UP WHEN I TURN THE CAR ON. SO I GUESS DODGE CAN RISK THAT LIABILITY TOO. I GUESS IT WILL TAKE SOMEONE BEING INJURED TO GET THEIR ATTENTION. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2010 DODGE JOURNEY AND HAVE HAD MANY ISSUE. FIRST THE ALIGNMENT HAS ALWAYS GONE TOWARDS THE RIGHT AND HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP TWICE AND THEY SAID IT WAS FINE. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE NAV AND COMPUTER MUSIC SYSTEM. THE NEWEST AND WORST ISSUE IS IN LESS THAN 2 WEEKS HAS STOPPED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I TOOK IT IN THE FIRST TIME AND THE SERVICE SAID THEY REBOOTED THE COMPUTER AND IT WAS FINE. FEW DAYS LATER I WAS GOING 40 DOWN THE ROAD AND THE CAR SHUT OFF AGAIN. BOTH TIMES THE CAR IS IN DRIVE AND THE KEY IS IN. IT IS NOW BACK IN THE SHOP AND I AM AFRAID THE AIRBAGS ARE NOT GOING TO WORK. I AM AFRAID THAT I WILL BE HIT AND INJURED. I HAVE 4 YEAR OLD TWIN BOYS. DODGE/CHRYSLER IS NOT HELPFUL AT ALL. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. IT IS BACK IN THE SHOP AND FOR A CAR LESS THAN A YEAR OLD, I FEEL IT SHOULD WORK. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. *TR
