2012 DODGE JOURNEY Unknown Or Other Problems

Moisture in ABS module causing warning lights. My vehicle vin was not included in the 2012 dodge journey recall but I am having the same issue

Abs light and show it and I have proof cost back up cam don't work and going cost me more 1500.00 on the repair check and recall

The battery and traction control lights went on. A smell like nail polish remover followed by white smoke came from under the hood. After pulling over, the hood was opened and white smoke came from the passenger side, not the drivers side where the batter is located. After cooling down for about 45 minutes, the car had now power. The fob, power locks, lights, everything was dead. Unknown cause, need to have the car towed for an estimate and cause.

Over the last 2 years I have been to the dealership and numerous other mechanics in an attempt to diagnose the problem. Here is the problem..... if the vehicle is not started daily the battery is drained and the vehicle does not start. I have had an occurrence of the vehicle not starting after a few hours. I have replaced the battery 3 times in the past 2 years and had the dealership tell me they could not find a problem. There are plenty of complaints online about this same issue and after calling dodge itself have received no valid info other than to report here. Here is one website with a lot of complaints just to start. https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/Discussion-t36017_ds846706 This issue should have been recalled and fixed a long time ago evidently. There are currently under 150000 miles on my vehicle. One of the people reported that the dealership told them to use a trickle charger on a new car..... this is a unacceptable resolution. I will be posting this website for others to contact you in hopes that it is realized this is a true recall issue.

THE ENGINE HA A CLICKING NOISE

Mileage: 113,000

THE PASSENGER SIDE HEAT STOPPED BLOWING WARM AND BECAME ONLY COLD AIR. FOUND OUT BY HAVING HEATER CORE REPLACED THAT ITS BECAUSE OF CASTING SAND LEFT OVER ON ENGINE BLOCK AND THE ANGLE OF HEATER CORE CAUSES IT TO BUILDUP AND PREVENT THE HEAT FROM THE CORE INTO THE PASSENGER SIDE. NEW HEATER CORE ALREADY CLOGGED NO HEAT ON EITHER SIDE. WHEN THEY REPLACED IT WAS DODGE DEALER AND THEY FLUSHED EVERYTHING THEY SAID.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, A CHEMICAL ODOR WAS PRESENT. THE CONTACT BECAME ILL FROM THE CHEMICALS USED TO MANUFACTURER THE VEHICLE. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NOT RECEIVED. SALINAS VALLEY FORD LINCOLN (1100 AUTO CENTER CIR, SALINAS, CA) WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED.

OUR BACK-UP CAMERA GOES DARK FREQUENTLY OR FLIPS UPSIDE DOWN WHILE BACKING UP AND WE ALMOST HIT A CHILDT THAT RAN BEHIND US SUDDENLY. ALSO, THE VEHICLE WON'T SHIFT INTO LOW GEAR WHEN IN AUTOMATIC AND GOING UP HILLS, BUT SHIFTS IN MANUAL,AND IT SUDDENLY JUST SLOWS DOWN WHILE IN DRIVE, WHICH HAS CAUSED US TO ALMOST GET REAR-ENDED SEVERAL TIMES. FINALLY, OUR TIRE SENSORS SHOW LOW PRESSURE, BUT WHEN WE REPLACED THEM ALL THE TIRE SYMBOL STILL SHOWED UP. BECAUSE OUR ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, WE TOOK IT IN FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. WE WERE TOLD THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT WE NEED A SOFTWARE UPDATE THAT WOULD CORRECT ALL THESE PROBLEMS. WE WERE TOLD WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT, BUT IT SEEMS IT SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY ISSUES.

Mileage: 122,000

THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. I TRIED TURNING ON THE CAR AND IT WOULDN'T TURN ON. ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WORK, IT LOCKS AND UNLOCKS WITH KEY, ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING WORKS FINE BUT WON'T TURN ON EVEN AFTER REPLACING WITH A NEW BATTERY. THIS ISSUE IS RIDICULOUS AND DODGE NEEDS TO FIX IT ASAP. I WILL NEVER BUY DODGE AGAIN.

THE HEATER WORKS GREAT ON THE DRIVERSIDE AND BLOWS COLD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO.AUTOSTART DOESN'T WORK WHEN IT'S COLD OUT, THOUGHT THAT WAS THE POINT OF IT BUT GUESS NOT.MAKES A REALLY LOUD WINDING NOISE WHEN I STARTING IT,ALSO GOES INTO GEARS HARD MOST OF THE TIME. GOT THE HARD TO FIND 225/55/19 TIRES ON IT AND MY BRAKES MAKE A LOT OF NOISES. MY FRONT END MAKES A BUNCH OF POPPING AND GRINDING WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT GOING FORWARD OR BACKWARDS, HEATSHEILD IS FALLING OFF AROUND THE DRIVESHAFT. SERVICE ALL WHEEL DRIVE LIGHT COMES ON OFTEN, THE PARK ASSIST STOPPED WORKING ,TAILLIGHTS FLICKERING OFTEN, ONE OF MY FOBS WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TO EVEN WITH A NEW BATTERY.DRIVER SEAT IS ALSO STARTING TO ACT UP TO HAVING TO WIGGLE THE SWITCH AROUND TO MAKE IT WORK. NO ONE WANTS TO FIX THE PROBLEMS WITH MY JOURNEY RT MAKING ME REGRET GETTING THIS SUV I WAS PRACTICALLY FORCED INTO BUYING/TRADING IT AND WHEN I WENT TO THE PLACE OF PURCHASE A FEW DAYS AFTER GETTING WAS PROMISED THESE ISSUES FIXED AND I'M STILL WAITING WILL NOT PUT MY CHILDREN IN THIS CAR GOING TO GET RID OF THIS NIGHTMARE SOON AS I GET THE CHANCE SINCE THIS SO CALLED 4STAR SAFETY RAITING IS BS DON'T FEEL SAFE AT ALL

WHILE IN MOTION MY CAR CUTT OFF ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS BUT CAME RIGHT BACK ON. LAST NIGHT WHILE IN MOTION MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND DID I NOT TURN BACK ON. I TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY VEHICLE AS FAR AS MAINTENANCE. SO FAR I'VE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY ON A VEHICLE THAT I BOUGHT NEW. I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR AND ALSO REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING. I GOT ALL THE WORK DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT MY CAR.

MY ABS LIGHT ON THE DASH ILLUMINATED A MONTH AFTER PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALER SHUT IT OFF. IT STAYS OFF A DAY, MONTH OR SEVERAL MONTHS. THERE IS NO WAY TO DETERMINE HOW LONG IT WILL REMAIN OFF. EVERY TIME I GET AN OIL CHANGE, IT IS TURNED OFF. LAST WEEK, IT WOULD NOT TURN OFF. I WOULD NOT BE CONCERNED BUT WINTERS IN MICHIGAN REQUIRE THE ABS FUNCTIONING. NOT SURE IF THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH OTHER JOURNEYS BUT BEFORE SPENDING SEVERAL DOLLARS ON REPAIRS, I THOUGH I'D CONTACT YOU.

I'M EXPERIENCING AN ODOR THAT IS COMING THROUGH MY VENTS, IT SMELLS LIKE ANTIFREEZE BUT THEN THE ODOR CHANGED AND IT SMELLED LIKE ANESTHESIA AND HAD AN EFFECT LIKE IT AS WELL. I WAS DRIVING ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK AND HAD THE AIR-CONDITIONER RUNNING (SUMMER 2016) MY EYES STARTED TO GET BLURRY AND THE SMELL WAS TAKING OVER ME, I SAID TO MYSELF I THINK I'M ABOUT TO PASS OUT ( IT WAS A FEELING LIKE I WAS GOING UNDER TO PREPARE FOR SURGERY) I QUICKLY LET THE WINDOWS DOWN TO AIR OUT THE CAR. AND THEN I WAS FINE. I DID NOT RUN THE AIR THE REST OF THE SUMMER. NOW THAT IT IS WINTER I WAS RUNNING MY DEFROST AND THE SAME SMELL WAS THERE SO I QUICKLY DEFROST AND AIRED OUT THE CAR. ALSO WITH IT BEING COLD AND TURNING ON THE HEAT I STILL GET THAT ANTI-FREEZE SMELL. SOMETIMES WHEN I AM NOT RUNNING ANYTHING THROUGH THE VENTS A WHIFF OF THE SMELL COMES THROUGH. I HAD MY CAR SERVICED AND LOOKED AT BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND COULD NOT DETECT THE FOUL SMELL. EACH TIME I AND THESE ENCOUNTERS I WAS DRIVING BOTH IN THE CITY AND ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS STARTED IN THE SUMMER OF 2016 AND IT IS STILL HAPPENING AS OF 3/17/17

Mileage: 50,000

I WAS DRIVING MY SUV AND WHILE DRIVING MY TRUCK STALLED AND I COULD NOT TURN IT OFF FOR SEVERAL MEANS. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND MY PUSH START BUTTON WOULD NOT LET ME TURN IT OFF TO RESTART. AFTER 10 MINS IT LET ME RESTART. I HAD IT TOWED TO A CAR REPAIR SHOP AND THEY CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG . THE FIRST SHOP TOLD ME THAT MY OIL WAS MIXING WITH MY COOLANT AND VISA VERSA . I THEN TOOK IT TO THE MAIN SHOP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND THEY SAY IT'S NOTHING WRONG. I JUST DROP MY KIDS OFF MOMS BEFORE THIS HAPPEN AND I JUST GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE, THE POSSIBILITY OF IT CUTTING OFF WHILE MY KIDS ARE IN THE VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS.

Mileage: 57,000

WE HAD ISSUES WITH THE DIFFERENTIAL, UPDATES NEEDED AND DODGE HAS NO CLUE. BUT NOW THIS...WE HAVE A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY THAT IS ACTING VERY STRANGE. IT STARTED WITH THE HEADLIGHTS BEING ON, EVEN WHEN THEY WERE OFF (WE DO NOT HAVE AUTOMATIC LIGHTS)...THEN AFTER THE CAR WAS OFF, THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD FLASH ON AND OFF EVERY 10-30 SECONDS, WE WOULD HAVE TO UNDO THE BATTERY TO KEEP IT FROM DIEING. WE REPLACED THE HEADLIGHTS SWITCH AND IT STILL DOES AND ADDED A SYMPTOM. WHEN MY HUSBAND WOULD MANUALLY LOCK THE DOORS, IT WOULD UNLOCK BY ITSELF. WE WERE TOLD IT WAS THE TIPM WHICH HAS TO BE DONE BY DODGE. NOT SURE WHAT IT WILL DO NEXT!

CRANKSHAFT SENSOR AND 2 CAMSHAFT SENSORS HAD TO BE REPLACED. GOING UPHILL ON A BRIDGE THAT I TRAVEL 2X A DAY FOR 365/YEAR, IT DECIDED TO CUT OFF WHILE GOING UP THE BRIDGE, I WENT FROM 52 MPH TO 0 MPH AND COASTED TO THE FOOT OF THE BRIDGE, IT WOULD SPUTTER WHEN TRYING TO TURN ON AND THEN AFTER 20 - 30 MINS, IT TURNED ON AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED AND I DROVE HOME. THE NEXT DAY TRIED TO DRIVE OVER THE BRIDGE AND IT DID THE SAME THING GOING UP HILL. IT JUST STOPPED. MECHANIC SAYS I HAD 2 BAD CAMSHAFT SENSORS AND 1 BAD CRANKSHAFT SENSOR. THE CAR STILL HICCUPS AND SHUTTERS AND ACTS LIKE IT IS GOING TO CUT OFF AGAIN AS I GO UPHILL WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER ON. I REALLY BELIEVE IN MY HEART THE AIR CONDITIONING IS DRAINING THE POWER AND SOMEHOW CAUSING ADVERSE AFFECTS ELSEWHERE, I JUST DONT KNOW HOW I CAN PROVE THE CORRELATION. I DON'T FEEL LIKE REPLACING THOSE SENSORS IS THE END ALL TO THE STORY. I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO.

Mileage: 100,100

CAR HAS PERIODICALLY STALLED WHILE DRIVING 10+ TIMES OVER THE LAST SIX MONTHS. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ATTEMPTED FIXING A COUPLE OF ITEMS...ONE WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND ONE COST OVER $200 TO REPAIR. YET, THE CAR STALLED AGAIN TWO TIMES A MONTH AFTER THE LAST REPAIR. STALLING USUALLY HAPPENS WHILE SLOWING DOWN AND ABOUT TO MAKE A TURN. IT HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES WHILE PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY, WHICH HAS A SLIGHT INCLINE.

I PURCHASED A USED 2012 DODGE JOURNEY IN SEPTEMBER 2015 FROM LAKESHORE CHRYSLER DODGE AND JEEP OF SLIDELL, LOUISIANA. WE HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE DRIVING OFF THE LOT. FOUND OUT AFTER PURCHASE THAT THE CAR WAS NOT INSPECTED PRIOR TO DEALERSHIP RESELLING IT. BEFORE I EVEN GOT HOME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND REPORTED ISSUES. THEY DID THE OIL CHANGE AND INSPECTED THE CAR AND SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE IT WAS "NORMAL NOISES" HOWEVER AFTER COMPLAINING AND COMPLAINING THE WERE ABLE TO LOCATE AND FIX THE ISSUE WITH THE SHIFTING NOISES AND JOLTING. WE ARE STILL EXPERIENCING THE "NORMAL NOISE" OF THREE CLICKS WHEN THE ENGINE TURNS OFF. WE HAVE NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL/COMPUTER ISSUES. THE AIR, RADIO, TOUCH SCREEN, LIGHTS, ALL GOT OFF RANDOMLY. THE SYSTEM WILL NOT RESPOND EVEN IF THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON. IT WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TO. WE HAVE ISSUES WHERE THE CAR ACCELERATES FASTER ON ITS OWN HAVE TO BREAK WHILE CAR STILL TRIES TO ACCELERATE. WE HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE IN THE SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE THE PURCHASE AND THEY "CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE" SO THEY CAN NOT FIX IT. I HAVE PROVIDED NUMEROUS VIDEOS SHOWING AND PROVING THE ELECTRICAL/COMPUTER ISSUES WE ARE HAVING. DODGE REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING TO FIX THE SITUATION. EVERYTHING IS AT OUR EXPENSE. WANTS US TO PAY 150 DIAGNOSTIC FEE ON TOP OF HAVING TO GET RENT-A-CAR FOR THE DURATION OF TIME THE VEHICLE IS IN THE SHOP. THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD MY CAR ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. ONE TIME THEY HAD IT FOR OVER 18 DAYS AND SAID "NORMAL NOISE" AND "COULD NOT DUPLICATE" HOWEVER OUT OF THE 18 DAYS THEY ONLY DROVE THE CAR 35 MILES. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. IT SCARES ME JUST TO DRIVE TO THE LOCAL GROCERY WHICH WE GOTTEN STUCK AND HAD TO HAVE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. I AM SO SCARED & TRAPPED IN THIS CAR WITH NO WAY OUT. CONTACTING A LAWYER THIS CAN NOT BE LEGAL TO SELL DEFECTS.

I HAVE TRIED TO GET MY VEHICLES IN FOR THEIR RECALLS HOWEVER THE DEALERSHIP CAN NEVER GET THE VEHICLES DONE IN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME. I CAN MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND HAVE EVERYTHING SET UP FOR A 30 MINUTE FIX AND AS SOON AS THE CAR GETS THERE IT'S WELL WE WILL NEED TO KEEP IT FOR 48 HOURS BEFORE WE CAN WORK ON IT. MY OTHER VEHICLE IS A TAKATA RECALL AND IT'S BEEN ON A WAITING LIST FOR OVER A YEAR TO CAME IN.

I'M NOT SURE WHERE THIS FALLS UNDER SINCE I NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE UNTIL THIS PAST SUNDAY. MY HATCH/TRUNK AREA OPENED ONE MINUTE AND WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO OPEN IT AGAIN IT DID NOT OPEN. THERE IS NO WAY TO OPEN IT AND THERE IS NO EMERGENCY LATCH, SWITCH OR ANYTHING TO OPEN IT FROM THE INSIDE. I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. ANY ADVICE WILL BE APPRECIATED.

SINCE I PURCHASE MY CAR, THE RADIO HAS GONE OUT OF CONTO ANDCONSTINLEY KEEP CHANGING THE CHANNELS AND WON'T STOP. WHILE DRIVING MY RADIO AND HVAC TURNED OFF AND INTERIOR LIGHT CAME ON. NOW MY GEARS HESITATING TO SHIFT (STICKING) WHEN TURNING MAKING A LOUD THUMP. THIS ALL HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, STREET. IF I HIT A BUMP, MY RADIO WOULD CHANGE CHANNELS

Mileage: 34,400

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WHICH CONTROLS YOUR ABILITY TO TURN ON RADIO, TAPE PLAYER, AND HEATING/AIR CONDITIONING HAS GONE OUT. I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN NOVEMBER 2013, AND IT'S UNFORTUNATE FOR ME THAT I DID. ANOTHER FAILURE OF THIS AUTOMOBILE IS WHEN IT RAINS HEAVILY, MY BACK DOORS FILL WITH RAIN WATER. YOU CAN HEAR IT INSIDE OF THE DOORS. IT MAKES ME BELIEVE THAT THE CAR WAS IN SOME TYPE OF FLOODING CONDITION. MY BACK WHEEL ON THE DRIVE'S SIDE ALSO HAS A BROWNISH-RED TINGE THAT APPEARS TO BE RUST. I AM DISAPPOINTED. DID I SEE THE CORRECT REPORT OF THE RELIABILITY OF THE CAR? WHEN YOU PLACE THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND START, OR USE ANY OF THE MODES ON THE IGNITION, THE SCREEN WAS CONSTANTLY STATING, "LOADING," AND IT TURNED BLACK AND IS OUT. THIS HAPPENED BEFORE IN 2014 AND I THOUGHT THAT MAYBE IT WAS JUST A GLITCH, BUT IT ISN'T.

I DROVE MY VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 30 MILES, UPON ARRIVING HOME AND REMOVING MY CHILDREN FROM THE CAR I SMELT SOMETHING BURNING. I COULDN'T LOCATE WHERE THE SMELL WAS COMING FROM AND JUST DECIDED TO KEEP AN EYE ON IT. ON THE 21ST OF JULY AGAIN AFTER DRIVING A DECENT AMOUNT, MAYBE 25 MILES, AND REMOVING MY CHILDREN FROM THE CAR I SMELT BURNING. WHEN GOING TO THE PASSANGER SIDE OF MY VEHICLE THE SMELL WAS STRONGER, AT THAT TIME I NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM MY REAR PASSANGER TIRE AREA. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO TWO SEPERATE MECHANICS, INCLUDING THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED MY CAR AND HAVE BEEN TOLD DIFFERENT THINGS AS TO WHAT EXACTLY IS WRONG. I ALSO HAPPEN TO BE 4 DAYS AWAY FROM MY WARRANTY EXPIRING AND HAVE A FEELING THAT MAY BE CAUSING THE DIFFERENCE IN DIAGNOSIS. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH CHRYSLER DIRECTLY AND ALSO HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT MY WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER ANYTHING IF THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE BY TUESDAY (THE 28TH AND LAST VALID DAY OF MY WARRANTY) EVEN THOUGH THE COMPLAINT AND DIAGNOSIS HAD BEEN MADE TODAY. I HAVE BEEN AWARE OF A RECALL ON OTHER 2012 DODGE JOURNEY'S BUT ACCORDING TO VARIOUS RECALL INFORMATION SITES MY VEHICLE DOES NOT FALL IN THE MANUFACTURING DATE RANGE WHICH I DO NOT BELIEVE SHOULD BE EXCLUDED SINCE IT IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AS WHAT THE RECALL WAS PUT OUT FOR. BETWEEN BOTH MECHANICS I HAVE BEEN TOLD BRAKE PADS NEED REPLACED, ROTORS NEED RESURFACED AND/OR REPLACED, AND ONE OF THE MECHANICS EXPRESSED THAT THERE WAS EITHER A CALIPER ISSUE OR BRAKE LINE ISSUE WHICH WOULD BE CAUSING THE BURNING AND SMOKING (MY VEHICLE IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND ONLY HAS 24K MILES ON IT.) DODGE HAS REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS ISSUE WHICH IS COVERED BY MY WARRANTY AND THE WARRANTY WILL NOT PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT UNLESS DODGE SAYS THE CALIPER/BRAKE LINE HAS AN ISSUE.
