2010 DODGE JOURNEY Unknown Or Other Problems

1. Driver headrest was broken while car was in driveway. I found the headrest broken and then reported to nhtsa. org after reading some Dodge forums

Park / Natural switch, from my understanding there is no recall, but I have had some close encounter driving and my car just shuts off, I was told its the park/neutral switch., have to throw it in park foot on the brake try to put it in neutral and throw it back into park and start he engine. ugh.

I bought this used from Rainbow Motor Sales. Ever since I have had trouble with the heating system. I have replaced the heater core. I have had this flushed also. Last winter only the driver side had heat. So far this fall it will blow nothing but cold air.

Headrest busted open and hit my passenger

Follow-up with the article in regards to a possible electrical problems in older Dodge Journey after a woman was trapped and died when her SUV caught fire in December. Issues reported warning lights started flashing, windshield wipers came on, the horn started honking, windows wouldn't go down and the doors wouldn't unlock. Those are of the TIPM that have been reported for years and nothing has been done. I have personal experienced everything that others witnessed with 2009 except for I have not had a fire yet, I have been stuck in my vehicle for times due to window won't go down and doors will not unlock. Horn , lights, wipers, continue to go off I have to pull fuses out all the time just so not to disturb the neighbors as it happens at all hours not just when driving it. It caused a brand new battery to swell up that was caught by a mechanic, the TIPM has been changed 2 times now and still have issues along with the battery was replaced 3 times so far and maybe this is why I have not had a fire because I continue to get a new one. This has been happening for

No heat in the front but somewhat heat in the rear back seats have change a lot of things to try to fix but still no heat for the front or second row only the 3rd row

When starting the auto can't put it in reverse or drive. Sometimes can't start car unless I put the key in alternator and place in neutral.

WE PURCHASED OUR 2010 DODGE JOURNEY FROM AN AUCTION. RIGHT AWAY THERE WERE ALL SORTS OF ELECTRONIC ISSUES WITH VARIOUS BELLS & WHISTLES. MOST OF THESE WERE SOLVED ONCE WE PURCHASED A NEW FOB & HAD IT PROGRAMMED. HOWEVER, MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE HORN WILL BLOW WITHOUT TOUCHING THE STEERING WHEEL. IT WILL BLOW WHILE THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING AND WHEN THE VEHICLE IS OFF, DOES NOT MATTER. MY HUSBAND HAD TO DISCONNECT THE HORN UNDER THE HOOD IN ORDER TO GET IT TO STOP. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO AN INDEPENDENT SERVICE CENTER AND THE MECHANIC COULD NOT FIND WHY THE HORN WILL NOT STOP BLOWING. I DISCUSSED THIS ISSUE WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INDICATED THE VEHICLE NEEDS AN UPDATE, HOWEVER, AFTER MUCH RESEARCHING ON THE WEB MANY MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE UPDATE COMPLETED AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THE HORN ISSUES STARTED AGAIN 2 WEEKS LATER, MANY MUCH SOONER. OUR VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INSPECTED BY ANYONE ELSE. ALSO, THERE ARE NO WARNING LAMPS IN REGARDS TO THE HORN THAT HAVE COME ON. WE ARE LOOKING INTO HAVING A SEPARATE HORN INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE, DUE TO THE SAFETY ISSUE. DODGE NEEDS TO HAVE A RECALL IN REGARDS TO THIS HORN ISSUE THAT COULD COST SOMEONE THEIR LIFE, IT'S QUITE UNBELIEVABLE THEY HAVE NOT DONE SO. (SEE BELOW- "Approximate date this incident occurred", OUR ISSUE IS ONGOING, WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE ON 08-14-2021.)

I just purchased a 2010 dodge journey. It has not been in an accident. This morning when getting in my car, I noticed the active headrest restraint has been deployed. I was not in an accident. The car with sitting in my driveway overnight.

Drove to the park, parked the car. Went for a walk, came back 20 minutes later, car would not start. Turn the key, no sound, all dash light come one, car will not crank, no sound at all. towed the car to my house, and charged battery for a full day. Car same issue, will not crank, no noise. I turn the key to on, press on the brake and move to neutral, and car still no start. I use the remote starter, and car just clicks a few times and does not start. Basically turning the key to start, lights come on as usual, then no noise no crank no start. this is third day of trying to start this car, never had issues with it for over a year, and never with starting car. No warnings at all, no lights on to show anything bad before this, and no warning after it happened, scanner show no faulty codes detected. From the park waited to be towed and got home after 10 PM, safety, it got dark, it rained and unreliable to just not start.

MY HORN STARTED CHRIPING FOR NO REASON WHILE PARKED AND WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK THE BATTERIES OUT OF BOTH KEY FOBS AND WAS STILL GOING OFF. TRIED LOCKING AND UNLOCKING BOTH WITH AND WITHOUT THE FOB. I HAD TO REMOVE THE HORN FUSE TO GET IT TO STOP. I HAVE SEEN MANY OF THESE VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUE.

THE HORN IS BEEPING WHEN NOT IN VEHICLE. ALSO WHEN DRIVING IT RANDOMLY BEEPS.

Mileage: 91,000

I'M DRIVING DURING RUSH HOUR AND MY HORN GOES OFF SPURRATDICALY. AND THIS WASN'T THE FIRST,SECOND, OR EVEN THIRD TIME. PEOPLE LOOKING AT ME AS IF TO SAY, WHAT? WHY ARE YOU HONKING AT US? THE HORN DOESN'T HAVE A PATTERN. SOMETIME IT SOUNDS LIKE MORSE CODE AND SOMETIMES IT LASTS FOR UP TO 15 SECONDS LIKE I'M HOLDING IT DOWN. IT ALSO HAPPENS WHILE SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR 24 HOURS AND IT GOES OFF DURING THE DAY AND EVEN LATE AT NIGHT. I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO UPLOAD EXCEPT MY TESTAMONY. PLEASE HELP!

Mileage: 120,000

LAST EVENING WHILE SITTING IN HOUSE THE HORN STARTS GOING OFF. THEN WE REALIZED IT WAS OUR CAR. HUSBAND WENT OUT AND SAW THAT IT WAS OUR GRABBED KEY FOB AND FINALLY PUSHED THE PANIC BUTTON SEVERAL TIMES AND IT STOPPED. THEN TODAY MID-MORNING IT STARTED HONKING AGAIN. AFTER RESEARCHING IT WE'VE FIGURED IT WASN'T ONLY US AND SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE. BOTH TIMES IT WAS PARKED IN OUR DRIVEWAY WITH NO ONE AROUND IT CAUSE WE HAVE SEVERAL CAMERAS AND LOOKED AND SAW NO ONE AROUND IT

Mileage: 108,253

WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES AN HOUR ON A TURNING ROAD ONTO A HIGHWAY AND VEHICLE SHUT OFF. LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WERE HARD. HAD TO IMMEDIATELY GET OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO AVOID TRAFFIC COMING FROM THE REAR AS I LOST LIGHTS AS WELL AND MAY NOT HAVE BEEN SEEN AS IT WAS DARK AND THE VEHICLE IS BLACK. WHEN PULLED OVER I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART. AFTER THE 2ND TIME TURNING THE KEY IT STARTED. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ARE PRESENT ON THE CAR OTHER THAN A TPMS SENSOR.

Mileage: 107,348

THE STARTER WAS REPLACED. IT WILL START SEVERAL TIMES. THEN I TRY TO START IT AND IT JUST CLICKS OVER & OVER. I HAVE TO KEEP TURNING THE KEY FOB SOMETIMES 20 TIMES BEFORE IT CRANKS ON. IT'S WHEN CAR IS OFF & PARKED AND I GO TO START IT.

MY CAR RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF WHEN I GO FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. I CAN BE PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY OR A PARKING SPOT AT A STORE AND WOULD HAVE TO TURN KEY TO OFF AND RESTART CAR AND WAIT A FEW MINUTES BEFORE I PUT IT IN DRIVE. PLUS THE HORN GOES OFF OCCASIONALLY.

THE HORN BEGINS TO SOUND ON ITS OWN AND AT SHORT AND/OR LONG BURTS AND A COMBINATION OF BOTH WHILE DRIVING OR PARKED ALL HOURS OF THE DAY. THERE IS NO WAY TO STOP THIS. THIS CAN CAUSE SEVERE ACCIDENTS!

Mileage: 130,200

THE CAR WILL NOT START ....I CAN JUMP IT ...GET IT RUNNING BUT THEN WITHIN 2 HOURS IT IS COMPLETELY DEAD I HAVE REPLACED EVERYTHING AND NOTHING IS WORKING FROM WHAT I HAVE READ THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE DODGE JOURNEY AND THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY DODGE ....THIS IS VERY VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT ALSO WILL STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD....PLEASE PLEASE RESEARCH THIS AND MAKE DODGE DO SOMETHING...I HAVE HAD IT AT THE DEALER AND THEY SAY EVERYTHING TESTS OUT FINE WITH IT ....MY 16 YEAR OLD SON DRIVES THIS VEHICLE AND IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO HIM BECAUSE OF THE CAR MALFUNCTION I WILL SUE THE [XXX]OFF DODGE !!!

FOR A A FEW YEARS NOW I HAVE DEALING WITH HORN HONKING ON ITS OWN. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, WHILE DRIVING, WHILE PARKED RANDOMLY. I'VE BEEN TRYING TO SOLVE THE ISSUE AND NOTHING WORKS. I READ LOTS OF COMPLAINT WITH THE SAME ISSUE ON DODGEFORUM.COM BUT AGAIN NO SOLUTION. ON 2/17/20 I NEARLY HAD A BAD ACCIDENT BECAUSE I DONT HAVE A HORN, I'VE BEEN TAKING OUT THE FUSE BECAUSE OF THE RANDOM HONKING WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME MORE THAN ONCE ALMOST GETTING INTO ACCIDENTS BECAUSE IF HORN ISSUE. I COMMUTE 2 HOURS A DAY FOR WORK SOMETIMES MORE AND DO NOT FEEL SAFE USING CAR BUT HAVE NO CHOICE. FOR SO MANY YEARS NO SOLUTION TO PROBLEM BY DODGE.

THE HEADREST ON OUR 2010 DODGE JOURNEY POPPED OPEN AS WE WERE DRIVING DOWN I-20. NO ACCIDENT, NO BUMP IN THE ROAD, NO SUDDEN STOP... IT JUST SPRUNG OPEN AND SMACKED MY HUSBAND IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD.

MY BROTHER WAS DRIVING MY DODGE JOURNEY I WAS THE FRONT PASSENGER AND MY COUSIN WAS IN THE BACK WE WERE HIT FROM THE REAR AND WE RODE OVER TWO AND A HALF TIME AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY ON EITHER SIDE AND WE ALSO SUBSTANED INJURIES I MYSELF WAS IN THE HOSPITAL FOUR DAYS AND I AM STILL OUT OF WORK TO THIS DAY

Mileage: 130,000

I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE STARTER ON THIS VEHICLE. THE NEW STARTER APPEARS TO ALREADY BE GOING OUT. WHEN HIT A BUMP THE VEHICLE LIKES TO SHUT DOWN. I CANNOT HOOK MY HORN UP DO TO THE FACT IT LIKES TO GO OFF ON ITS OWN. IT SAYS ON HERE THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS FOUR RECALLS TWO THAT HAVE TO DO WITH THE IGNITION.

WHILE DRIVING, ALL ELECTRICAL GOES OUT OR FLICKERS. THE CAR WILL SOMETIMES LOSE POWER ON ACCELERATION ABOVE 20MPH REGARDLESS IF TURNING, ON HIGHWAY OR NEIGHBORHOOD ROADS. THIS HAS HAPPEN A FEW TIMES SINCE LAST MONTH AND THOUGHT IT WAS MY BATTERY. I EXCHANGED THE BATTERY AND THE ISSUE WASNT RESOLVED.

HORN. THE HORN SOUNDS ARBITRARILY WHEN DRIVING AND WHEN NOT DRIVING. IT STARTLES DRIVER AND VEHICLES CLOSE TO DRIVER -- MAY CAUSE ROAD RAGE BY OTHERS ASSUMING YOU ARE HONKING AT THEM WHEN YOU ARE NOT. THE HORN HAS SOUNDED AT 2:00 A.M. WHEN NO ONE IS NEAR THE VEHICLE OR THE FOB. THE HORN HAD TO BE DISCONNECTED TO GET IT TO STOP. WHEN TAKEN TO THE SHOP, DODGE SERVICE CENTER IN STOCKTON, CA ADVISED THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF THE PROBLEM; HOWEVER, WHEN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET THERE ARE MANY, MANY DODGE JOURNEY AND RAM OWNERS WHO COMPLAIN OF THE SAME ISSUE. FROM READING THE VARIOUS ACCOUNTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM, THERE DOES NOT APPEAR ANYONE WHO HAS SPECIFICALLY DETERMINED THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. AFTER HAVING TO DISCONNECT THE HORN FUSE, THE VEHICLE IS RENDERED UNSAFE TO THE OWNER, PEDESTRIANS, AND OTHER DRIVERS. THE PROBLEM CONTINUES INTERMITTENTLY WITH NO COMMON VARIABLE.

Mileage: 120,000

PASSENGER SIDE HEAT DOES NOT WORK. ONLY BLOWS OUT COLD AIR IN ALL VENTS, DEFROST, FRONT AND FEET. CAUSES WINDOWS TO FOG UP AND BAD VISIBILITY AND ALSO DOES NOT KEEP YOU WARM. ALSO AT TIMES IT WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO CHANGE THE HEAT CONTROLS SUCH AS FROM DEFROST TO FRONT OR FEET. HAPPENS NO MATTER IF CAR IS PARKED OR DRIVING. THE COLDER OUT IS IS THE WORSE THE PROBLEM. HUGE SAFETY ISSUE LIVING IN MINNESOTA. ALSO SERCHED GOOGLE AND THERE WERE 100'S OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS IN DODGE JOURNEYS ALL DIFFERENT YEARS.

Mileage: 97,000

DASH MAKES CLICKING NOISES, THE HORN GOES OFF BY ITSELF, I COULD BE DRIVING OR JUST SITTING STILL, THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS, TOOK IT IN TWICE TO HAVE IT CHECKED, THEY ALL ARE CONFUSED AS WHY THIS IS HAPPENING

Mileage: 51,930

I WAS PICKING UP MY KIDS FROM SCHOOL AND MY HORN KEPT GOING OFF. IT WENT OF ALL THE WAY HOME I HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T STOP. EVEN AFTER IT WAS TURNED OFF AND PARKED.

Mileage: 99

VEHICLE DOES RANDOM NO START JUST CLICKS HAD STARTER REPLACED DID NOT FIX ISSUE. I READ ON INTERNET TELLS ME TO MOVE GEAR SELECTOR BACK AND FORTH OR JUST PUT IT IN NEUTRAL TO START UP. WHEN MY JOURNEY DOES NOT WANT TO START I HAVE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND IT STARTS RIGHT UP, ANOTHER ISSUE I JUST NOTICED IS THE WHEN TURN HEATER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE VENTS BLOW COOL AIR OTHER VENTS ARE HOT.

Mileage: 101,000

HORN GOES ON RANDOMLY. MOSTLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. IT HAS SOUNDED WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT DRIVER PUSHING HORN PAD. I AM CONCERNED THAT IT MAY CAUSE A ROAD RAGE ISSUE IF IT GOES ON WHILE DRIVING. ALSO A CONCERN THAT IF IT GOES ON DURING THE NIGHT, THAT IT MAY BE PRESUMED TO BE AN ALARM AN CAUSE UNNECESSARY CALL FOR POLICE TO INVESTIGATE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS AND I HAD TOPULL FUSES TO STOP IT. MULTIPLE PEOPLE COMPLAINING ONLINE ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH DODGE VEHICLES.

Mileage: 120,005

WHILE DRIVING THE HORN ON THE VEHICLE BLOWS FOR NO APPARENT REASON. WE REMOVED THE HORN FUSES AND IT DID STOP, BUT ONCE PUT BACK IN THE HORN BLOWS CONTINUOUSLY WHILE DRIVING.

MY DODGE JOURNEY WILL LEAVE ME STRANDED, IN WHAT IT SEEMS, THE MOST INCONVENIENT TIMES. THIS ISSUE WILL HAPPEN AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK NOW. I WILL TURN THE IGNITION AND TRIED TO START THE CAR, BUT ALL I'LL GET IS A "CLICK" SOUND. SOMETIMES PUTTING THE CAR IN NEUTRAL WORKS, MOST OF THE TIME DOESN'T. SOMETIMES I CAN'T EVEN GET THE CAR OUT OF PARK, EVEN WHEN THE KEY IS INSERTED AND MOVED TO START. WHAT IT SEEMS TO WORK ALMOST EVERYTIME IS TO WAIT IT OUT. IT'S A HUGE WASTE OF TIME, BUT I'VE WAITED ANYWHERE FROM 18 MINUTES UP TO 1 HOUR AND 34 MINUTES. I'VE TAKEN THE SUV ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SPEND MORE THAN $2,000 IN APPARENT FIXES THAT DOESN'T DO ANYTHING. I'VE DONE RECALLS FOR THE IGNITION AND THE WIRE HARNESS, AS WELL AS REPLACING THE BATTERY (TWICE), STARTER (THREE TIMES) AND THE NEUTRAL SAFETY POSITION SWITCH (ONCE). CALLED DODGE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, BUT THEIR RESPONSE IS THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S CAUSING THIS PROBLEM AND THAT APPARENTLY THERE'S NOT ENOUGH COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THIS IS THE VEHICLE MY WIFE USES TO GO TO WORK AND TAKE THE KIDS AROUND. I'VE READ THAT SOME PEOPLE, THEIR VEHICLES, JUST STOPPED WORKING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET WHILE THEY WERE DRIVING. SUPER UNSAFE AND DODGE DOESN'T WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR MALFUNCTION.

Mileage: 163,767

MY JOURNEY HAS EPISODES OF NOT STARTING. EVERYTHING ON THE DASH WILL COME ON BUT NOT START. I'VE HAD MULTIPLE STARTERS REPLACED AND SENSORS AND MORE AND NOTHING HAS FIXED THE ISSUE.

Mileage: 119,000

MY CAR HAS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH STARTING. I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR 6 WEEKS AND IT HAS FAILED TO START ON MANY DIFFERENT OCCASSIONS. I HAVE HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP TWO SEPARATE TIMES AND THEY TELL ME THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT. I FIGURED OUT THAT WHEN MY CAR WON'T START, WHILE IN PARK, I CAN TURN THE KEY TO THE ON POSITION AND MOVE THE SHIFTER INTO NEUTRAL. IT STARTS AT THIS POINT. EACH TIME THAT MY VEHICLE HAS FAILED TO START, IT HAS BEEN IN PARK IN MY DRIVEWAY, ON A SLIGHT INCLINE.

Mileage: 87,150

IT STARTED WITH A WINDOW NOT GOING UP, THEN THE ELECTRICAL WIRES TO THE FRONT LEFT HEADLIGGT BURNED OUT AND MELTED THE BULB CONNECTOR. BULB CONNECTOR WAS REPLACED AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. KEYLESS ENTRY FOBS STOPPED WORKING, BATTERIES WERE CHANGED AND FOBS WERE TESTED BUT THEY STILL DON'T WORK. ALARM GOES OFF AT RANDOM TIMES AND TAKES US STARTING AND MOVING THE CAR 50 FEET TO TURN IT OFF. THE OTHER NIGHT THE CAR HORN WENT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT RANDOMLY, ABOUT 12 TIMES. NOW THE HORNNIS GOING OFF AS WE DRIVE FOR NO REASON. THIS CAR CKEARLY HAS ELECTRICAL ISSUES. ELECTRICAL PARTS KEEP BURNING OUT CAUSING ME TO CHANGE THEM FOR REINSPECTION TIME BY THE STATE.

Mileage: 170,000

MY CAR WON'T START INTERMITTENTLY AND OFTEN DIES AND OFTEN IN A DANGEROUS INTERSECTION. I HAVE MY GRANDCHILDREN WITH ME AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN THE CARE SUDDENLY DIES WITH NO WARNING IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. ALSO, I CAN TURN THE CAR OFF AND IT MAY OR MAY NOT START, THEN SUDDENNESS FOR NO REASON STARTS. THIS CONCERNS ME AS I LIVE IN AUSTIN TEXAS AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT BEING ON A TOLL OR FREEWAY AND HAVING AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE CARE SUDDENLY DIES. WE HAVE CHECKED EVERYTHING AND ACCORDING TO THE HUNDREDS OF FORUMS THE TIPM IS THE PROBLEM, BUT DODGE REFUSES TO FIX OR RECALL THIS PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH IT IS HAPPENING TO SO MANY FOLKS. THESE CARS ARE OFTEN USED TO HAUL CHILDREN AROUND AND MY CONCERN IS THAT ONE DAY SOON SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE KILLED DUE TO THIS PROBLEM.

Mileage: 120,000

CAR INTERMITTENTLY WILL NOT START NO ERROR CODE COMES UP. DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, AND STARTER AND THE ISSUE IS STILL HAPPENING.

REGARDLESS IF SOMEONE IS IN THE CAR OR NOT. THE HORN WILL GO OFF ALL TIMES OF DAY OR NIGHT. IT IS A HONK. HONK....HOOOOOONK.....HOOOOOOOONK.

WITHOUT WARNING, THE HORN STARTS BLARING, WHETHER WE ARE IN THE CAR OR NOT. THIS HAPPENS DAILY! HAD TO TAKE THE FUSE OUT THAT CONTROLS THE HORN! THE ALARM WOULD START BLARING AT NIGHT AND WILL NOT GO OFF, WEARING THE BATTERY DOWN IF WE DO NOT HEAR IT IN THE GARAGE, WHICH IS NOT ATTACHED TO THE HOUSE. I HAVE READ COUNTLESS OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM! NOT HAVING A HORN IS DANGEROUS, AND I'M NOT SURE IF THE AIR BAG IS AFFECTED! DODGE WANTS $105 TO CHECK THE PROBLEMS, AND APPROXIMATELY $400 TO REPAIR, PER THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP. NO HELP FROM MANUFACTURER!

SEVERAL TIMES LAST WEEK WHILE PARKED AND LOCKED (USING THE KEY FOB) THE HORN HAS RANDOMLY HONKED. JUST THIS WEEK ONCE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET THE HORN HONKED. THIS HAS HAPPENED 6 OTHER TIMES THIS WEEK WHILE PARKED EITHER AT MY HOUSE OR AT MY WORK. ANY IDEAS WHAT IS CAUSING THIS MALFUNCTION?

Mileage: 107,000

WE'VE BEEN STRANDED SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE THE CAR WILL INTERMITTENTLY DECIDE NOT TO START . THE BATTERY AND STARTER ARE BOTH FINE BUT SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL CRANK AND THEN WON'T FOR A DAY OR SO. RESEARCH HAS LED ME TO BELIEVE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH IN 2010 DODGE JOURNEY'S. THERE ARE MANY FORUMS AND BLOGS OUT THERE DESCRIBING THIS SAME ISSUE AND THERE IS A TRICK THAT SOMETIMES WHEN THE CAR WON'T CRANK WHILE IN PARK, YOU CAN PUT THE GEAR IN NEUTRAL AND IT WILL CRANK UP. THAT WORKED FOR US SEVERAL TIMES BUT RECENTLY, EVEN THAT TRICK STOPPED WORKING. OUR CAR HAS CURRENTLY BEEN AT A DODGE DEALERSHIP FOR 2 WEEKS AND EVEN THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS.

I HAD A RECALL ON MY KEYS BACK IN 2015 BUT EVERY SINCE THEM AT WILL MY TRUCK WILL NOT START. I HAVE TAKEN TO SEVERAL PLACES FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING TO SEE IF IT IS MY BATTERY, STARTER, ALTENATER OR LOOSE WIRING AND THEY HAVE ALL COME BACK NEGATIVE. EVERY TIME I TAKE IT TO THE SHOP OR THE DEALER THEY TELL ME THE SAME THING IF IT IS NOT DOING IT WHEN I GET IT TO THEM THEY CANNOT FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I AM TIRED OF BEING STRANDED AND PAYING TO HAVE MY TRUCK TOWED AND THEN IT STARTS AS SOON AS I GET IT HOME. I NEED HELP PLEASE!!

HAVE INTERMITTENT STARTER FAILS. OFTEN LEAVES ME STRANDED. HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET IT GOING EVENTUALLY BY JIGGLING FUSES IN THE FUSE BOX. BUT I NEVER KNOW WHEN THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN AND I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 6 MONTHS AND IT HAS HAPPENED 6 TIMES. VEHICLE WAS ALWAYS TURNED OFF AND WHEN I WENT TO TURN IT ON, NOTHING. BUT THERE IS POWER IN THE CAR, LIGHTS AND RADIO ETC.

IN JUNE 2016 I TOOK MY CAR TO BETTEHAUSEN DODGE IN TINLEY PARK, IL. THEY DID SOME REPAIRS AND SINCE THEN THE HORN GOES OFF BY ITSELF. THE CAR CAN BE PARKED WITH THE MOTOR OFF OR YOU COULD BE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AND THE HORN WILL BLOW. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO BETTENHAUSEN IN AUGUST 2016 THEY DID ANOTHER COMPUTER UPDATE AND THE HORN IS STILL GOING OFF BY ITSELF. THE HORN WAS FIND UNTIL I TOOK IT TO BETTENHAUSEN IN JUNE. ONCE THEY FINISHED WORKING ON IT THEY HORN BLOWS SPORADICALLY. AGAIN IN AUGUST 2016 I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO BETTENHAUSEN BECAUSE THE CAR BROKE DOWN. UPON BETTENHAUSEN REVIEWING MY CAR THEY STATED IT WAS THE HEATER HOSE, A GASKET AND THE ANTI FREEZE BOTTLE HAD A HOLE IN IT. IT COST ME $582.00 FOR THAT REPAIR. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ALSO INFORMED ME THAT I NEEDED FRONT AND REAR MOTOR MOUNTS BROKEN, FRONT AND REAR STRUTS BLOWN OUT, FRONT AND REAR BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS WARPED AND WORN, RIGHT REAR WHEELING BEARING EXCESSIVE NOISE. THESE ARE MAJOR REPAIRS AND WILL COST MAJOR MONEY. WHY DIDN'T BETTENHAUSEN INSPECT MY CAR THOROUGHLY IN JUNE WHEN IT WAS TOWED IN? I THINK THESE THINGS WERE WRONG WITH THE CAR IN JUNE BUT IT WAS INSPECTED BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. SO I DROVE AROUND FOR MONTHS WITH ALL THIS WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. WHAT IF I COULDN'T STOP, OR A WHEEL FELL OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE EXPRESSWAY? IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY IN JUNE AND NOW IT IS NOT AND THESE ARE MAJOR SAFETY HAZZARDS.

MY CAR WAS CUTTING OFF EVEN AFTER I HAD IT REPAIRED DUE TO A RECALL ON THE IGNITION. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE CAR WOULD JUST STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING IT. NOW I I TOLD DODGE THAT I WAS AFRAID MY CAR WAS GOING TO KILL ME. I OFTEN RENTED CARS BECAUSE IT WAS TOO UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND I RARELY DROVE THE CAR EVEN THOUGH I WAS STILL PAYING A WHOPPING LOAN ON IT. THEY POO POOED WHAT I TOLD THEM AND IGNORED MY CLAIMS. NOW,I'M NOT A CAR EXPERT BUT THIS IS NOT NORMALLY. I RECENTLY HAD IT SERVICED AND HAD A TRANSMISSION REPLACED, OBVIOUSLY THIS WAS NOT THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE CAR MALFUNCTIONED WHEN MY KIDS WERE IN THE CAR AND LANDED IN A RAVINE. I FOUND OUT THAT THIS VEHICLE IS UNDER RECALL AGAIN FOR THE THIRD TIME CONCERNING THE IGNITION.

WE PURCHASED OUR JOURNEY IN 2010, AS ORIGINAL OWNERS. AT ABOUT 10K MILES WE EXPERIENCED SLIGHT SHAKING WHILE APPLYING BREAKS ON THE HIGHWAY. WE TOOK OUR VEHICLE TO DODGE SERVICE AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE ROTORS. WE DRIVE OUR CAR VERY CONSERVATIVELY AND NOW IN 2016 WE HAVE 36K MILES. OUR CAR STARTED EXPERIENCING THE SAME SYMPTOMS. WE TOOK THE CAR TO DODGE SERVICE, WHICH CONFIRMED EXTREME ROTOR WEAR AND EVEN COMMENTED THAT IT WAS PREMATURE WEAR. I CONTACTED DODGE AND THEY REFUSED TO REPLACE ANY PARTS. IN ADDITION, WE RECENTLY (2016) ARE EXPERIENCING RANDOM HORN HONKING. THIS IS INDEED A SAFETY ISSUE AS PROPER HORN FUNCTION IS A REQUIREMENT FOR VEHICLE REGISTRATION.

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING FRQUENT SHUT OFFS AND NOT CRANKING. AFTER NUMEROUS VISIT TO DEALER NONONE COULD FIND THE CAUSE. IN JUNE 2015 I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER. THE DODGE DEALER PUT ME ON A WAITING LIST AND AS OF TOFAY THEY STILL HAVE TROUBLE GETTING THE PART. THE PROBLEM IS GETTING MORE FREQUENT AND I AM AT MY WITS END. PLEASE HELP

I PURCHASED MY 2010 JOURNEY USED. 2 WEEKS INTO HAVING MY CAR ONE NIGHT THE HORN STARTED BLOWING NONSTOP. THE HORN BLOW FOR 5 HOURS STRAIGHT. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. A FEW DAYS THE CAR WOULDN'T START. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHANGED THE BATTERY AND IT WAS FINE FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS. AND THE HORN STARTED AGAIN AND THE CAR WOULDN'T START AGAIN AND THIS TIME THE KEY WAS STUCK INSIDE OF THE IGNITION. THE KEY WILL STAY STUCK IN THE IGNITION FOR 30 MINS BEFORE IT COMES OUT. THE DEALERSHIP HANDED ME A PIECE OF PAPER SAYING THAT THERE WAS A BULLETIN OUT FROM CHRYSLER ABOUT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BUT NO RECALL ON MY CAR. I HAVE BEEN STUCK OUT SO MANY TIMES WITH THIS CAR I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT. I HAD TO TAKE THE HORN FUSE OUT BECAUSE THE NOISE GETS TO MY NEIGHBORS AND NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO STOP IT. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED I HAVE A CAR THAT I CAN"T DEPEND ON AND ONE NO TO HELP ME FIGURE IT OUT.

CAR HONK RANDOMLY IF I DRIVE OR PARK. DEALERSHIP HEARED NEVER ABOUT THAT ISSUE, I ALMOST STARTED TO LAUGH OUT LOUD, IT'S WELL KNOWN IN THE WEB.

WHEN KEY WAS PLACED IN THE IGNITION THE CAR WOULD NOT START. AFTER A FEW HOURS, THE CAR WOULD START. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY OVER AND OVER. BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALER AND HAD THE IGNITION REPLACED AT MY OWN COST. IN JULY 2015, I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE AND HAD THE IGNITION REPLACED AGAIN. THE ISSUE IS STILL CONTINUING WITH NO RESOLVE.

I WENT TO CHECK THE AIR PRESSURE ON THE TIRES BECAUSE THE LOW PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH. THE TIRE DID NOT APPEAR TO BE LOW. I TOOK THE CAP OFF THE TIRE TO CHECK IT AND THE SENSOR STEM CAME OFF IN MY HAND AND AS A RESULT THE AIR ESCAPE FROM THE TIRE. I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED AND REPAIRED. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING CAUSING A CRASH. THE CAPS ARE PLASTIC AND NOT METAL. I HAVE SEEN FROM THE INTERNET AND HEARD FROM DEALERS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND HAS TO DO WITH CORROSION.

WHEN DRIVING WITH MY MOTHER AS PASSENGER FROM PHOENIX TO TUCSON TO VISIT RELATIVES, THE HORN SOUNDED INTERMITTENTLY. I HAD A MINOR ACCIDENT A FEW DAYS LATER, AND WHEN I TOOK THE CAR IN THE DEALER TO REPAIR, I ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE HORN. THEY REPORTED NOTHING AMISS. THE HORN CONTINUED TO INTERNITTENTLY SOUND OFF WHETHER I WAS DRIVING ON A SIDE STREET ALONE OR IN TRAFFIC, BOTH ON SURFACE STREETS AND THE FREEWAYS. WHEN I RECEIVED THE NOTICE FOR THE FOBIK RECALL IN MAY, I MADE THE APPOINTMENT AND TOOK THE CAR IN, AND REMINDED THEM THE HORN GOES OFF; THE SAME DEALER TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE HORN ISSUE AGAIN. THEY ALSO FAILED TO COMPLETE THE RECALL FIX. I MADE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT TWO WEEKS AGO IN JULY AS THE HORN KEPT SOUNDING OFF ON ITS OWN AND IT IS GETTING WORSE. I ALSO HAD ALL THE REQUIRED MAINTENANCE COMPLETED AT A COST OF OVER $1500, AND WHILE IN THE SERVICE BAY THE CAR HORN SOUNDED OFF. THE SERVICE CREW ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE HORN OVER THREE DAYS BUT FAILED. AS I DROVE THE CAR AWAY FROM THE DEALERSHIP, THE HORN SOUNDED OFF AGAIN. THEY ALSO DID NOT COMPLETE THE RECALL FIX AGAIN, EVEN AFTER ORDERING THE PARTS NECESSARY. THEY BELIEVE THE HORN ISSUE IS RELATED TO THE ELECTRICAL ISSUE IN THE KEY FOBIK RECALL, AND ARE HOPING THE RECALL FIX WILL ALSO ADDRESS THE HORN ISSUE. MEANWHILE, THE HORN HAS CONTINUED TO ESCALATE AND LAST EVENING WHILE DRIVING HOME IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, THE HORN SOUNDED OFF FOR LONGER PERIODS, ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS FOR AS LONG AS NEARLY A MILE ON THE SURFACE STREETS. AS THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL AS A CITABLE OFFENSE, I HAVE MADE YET ANOTHER APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE HORN ISSUE FIXED. THE DEALER HAS NOT RELAYED EXACTLY WHAT STEPS THEY HAVE TAKEN TO CORRECT THIS, OTHER THAN REPLACING THE *SPRING IN THE STEERING COLUMN. I HAVE READ ONLINE A POSSIBLE HORN FIX IS TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG - WHICH HAS NOT BEEN IDENTIFIED IN A RECALL YET.

MADE A LEFT HAND TURN AND SUDDENLY THE AIR CONDITIONER, RADIO, LIGHTS, WINDOWS STOPPED WORKING. DROVE TO A LOT AND PULLED OVER AND EVERYTHING CAME BACK ON. THEN MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL AND EVERYTHING SHUT OFF AGAIN. TURNED THE CAR OFF AND EVERYTHING CAME BACK AND HAS WORKED FINE SO FAR. HOWEVER, THE CAR WOULDN'T START EARLIER WHEN TURNED ON. HAD TO START THE CAR 3 TIMES BEFORE IT CAME ON.

BRAKES HAVE BEEN A MAJOR ISSUE ON THIS VEHICLE. WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE BRAKES, ROTORS AND CALIPERS MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NOT TO MENTION THE TIRES ALSO. THE FIRST TIME THEY WERE REPLACED, THE CAR HAD LESS THAN 36,000 MILES. SINCE THAT TIME THEY HAVE BEEN REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES, WITH THE LAST TIME BEING IN THE LAST 30 DAYS. IT IS LIKE THERE IS SOME TYPE OF DESIGN FLAW IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM, THAT CAUSES THE BRAKES AND TIRES TO BOTH WEAR OUT QUICKLY. LAST NIGHT THE BRAKING SYSTEM CAUGHT FIRE ON THIS VEHICLE, LUCKY I HAD JUST PULLED IN MY PARKING SPOT WHEN THEY STARTED BURNING AND DIDN'T HAVE MY CHILDREN WITH ME. FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS NOTIFIED AND THE FIRE WAS PUT OUT BY THEM. I HAVE NOTICED THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THE JOURNEY THAT HAS HAD BRAKE AND TIRE ISSUES. NOW I AM STUCK WITHOUT ANY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION THANKS TO THE BRAKES CATCHING FIRE (WARPING RIMS AND MELTED TIRES FROM IT). THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS INJURED.

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL RELATED TO MY WIRELESS IGNITION NODE (WIN). I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP ON APPROX 5-23-2015 TO SCHEDULE THE REPAIRS AND WAS TOLD THIS WOULD BE 1.5 MONTHS FOR REPAIR. I HAVE NOT BE NOTIFIED AS OF TODAY (ALMOST 2 MONTHS) TO INFORM THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. I DRIVE 100 MILES / DAY AND AM AFRAID THIS ISSUE COULD EXPOSE ITSELF AND LEAD TO AN INCIDENT. I WOULD LIKE TO THINK THIS TIME IS A LITTLE EXCESSIVE PUTTING ME AND OTHER DRIVERS AT RISK FOR A KNOWN ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP INFO: MEDINA AUTO MALL 3205 MEDINA RD, MEDINA, OH 44256 (330) 723-3291

WHEN I TRIED TO CRANK THE CAR IT WOULD NOT START. IT WOULD CLICK ONCE BUT NOT CRANK. FINALLY AFTER SEVERAL TIMES OF TRYING IT CRANKED. HAS A RECALL ON THE WIRELESS IGNITION NODE MODULE AND HOPING THIS WILL FIX THE PROBLEM BUT WON'T KNOW FOR SURE UNTIL IT IS REPLACED.

ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO MY HORN STARTED JUST RANDOMLY HONKING. IT DIDN'T MATTER IF IT WAS PARKED OR RUNNING. SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE WHILE PARKED AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. NOW THE LOCKS DON'T WANT TO UNLOCK WHEN I PRESS BUTTON ON REMOTE OR CAR JUST UNLOCKS ITSELF. I CAN GO OUTSIDE HOLDING KEYS IN HAND WITHOUT PRESSING ANYTHING CAR WILL UNLOCK OR LOCK. SEVERAL INCIDENTS SO FAR OF WINDOWS JUST RANDOMLY ROLLING DOWN. THE HONKING THING SCARES ME THE MOST ESPECIALLY WHILE IN TRAFFIC JAMS WHEN PEOPLE HAVE ROAD RAGE! I'VE GOTTEN PLENTY OF MIDDLE FINGERS BECAUSE OF THIS POSSESSED CAR. I'VE ALSO HAD THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF AT A STOP LIGHT. IT DID HOW EVER START IMMEDIATELY. THANKS DODGE FOR TAKING MY MONEY, DISREGARDING MY FAMILIES SAFETY AND GIVING ME A POS!

VEHICLE POWERS OFF WHILE IT'S BEING DRIVEN. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, MY WIFE WAS PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE DIFFERENT TIMES SINCE THEN. WHAT I MEAN BY POWER OFF IS, YOU HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL OR PARK TO RESTART IT. I CAN'T DUPLICATE THIS NOR CAN CHYRSLER'S REPAIR PERSONNEL. IT'S SCARY BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN. CHRYSLER UPDATED THE SOFTWARE IN OCTOBER 2010, BUT IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE SINCE THEN. IT'S AT THE DEALERSHIP AS I FILE THIS REPORT FOR THE SAME PROBLEM.

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
