2013 DODGE JOURNEY Engine Problems

Oil filter housing cap broke during Oil filter change.

The Catalytic Converter is the issue per our mechanic. We have had several issues out of the the vehicle, resulting in more money than the car is worth. The car no longer reaches over 55-60 mph, which is unsafe on the highway. Many times the car wont start. We thought it was the battery which have been changed several times, but the last mechanic stated it in fact the recall part that is needed.

Recently I have been having issues with the rear back up camera in the vehicle not working turning off beeping when nothing is around, also glitching and showing the camera upside down. I am also experiencing battery drainage in the vehicle I have just had the battery replaced and the alternator replaced as well, while I am searching online for common issues this seems to be happening to a large amount of people and the issues just keep equaling out to more then one problem. Motors staying on, electrical problems, constant power draws, many more issues I have many links to articles with dodge journey owners having numerous issues and dodge not wanting to fix anything or recall things to fix their mistakes. I can add links to this page. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Battery, car started turning off. Turned off on us when we made a stop right after getting off of freeway, luckily no car were coming. Changed Battery but still had problems. Then check engine light turned on, car stared pulling, had a mechanic check it and said it was the engine. We would have to replace it and that's those kind of cars we're having a lot of problems.

Transmission mount and engine mount and drive shaft mount breaking all the time. Transmission going out on vehicle.

many things had to be fixed like the camshift senor, tps, new battery after 2 months. the car will only crack and crack it will not fire. have took it everywhere and never get the answer as to what is wrong with it. the key fob will work hit and miss will show no key

Our 2013 Dodge Journey (only owners) has had a few recalls and had multiple challenges with overheating within the engine. Although, We have had all the recalls we are aware of completed it continues to shut off and not start. Ours, our children, and other passengers safety has been at risk as we have been strained with no running vehicle and the unknown if the vehicle will just shut off while in operation. While we can not guarantee the sources of the general internet it is a common search and alignment to say an abundance of 2013 Dodge Journey owners have experienced this and have been searching for answers yet have not received an adequate response. Our vehicle has been inspected by a Dodge facility, and two other independent mechanics to no avail we are in this situation with no answers nor solutions. Our check engine light has been present since we can remember and we were told on multiple attempts even after the engine beauty cover recall that it was ok, obviously it’s not and is sad the quality of the engine lasted barely 128,000 miles. Our Journey has been un-drivable as it is stated to need a new engine from the overheating.

Vehicle will not start. Took to dealership and they charged battery. After repairing some recommendations I got the car back and it wouldn’t start. Same issue as before, I took it back and they said it was dead battery. I paid for a new battery and drove it home. Next day it would not start. I’ve been reading some reader boards and I’m told it has to do with wiring to the transmission. It gets cold in Alaska and my daughter and granddaughter can’t be stranded in inclement weather. Tested the starter and the alternator and both are good. New battery and new key fob battery and still a no go. Dodge needs to figure this out, as their certified mechanics can’t seem to diagnose the issue.

The contact owns a 2013 Dodge Journey. The contact stated initially noticed that power steering fluid was leaking onto his driveway. The contact also stated that while driving at slower speeds, extra effort was needed to steer the vehicle. There was no warning light illuminated. Upon investigation, the contact linked the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V273000 (Steering) however, the Vin was not included. Additionally, he also stated that while his wife was at stop light, the vehicle shut-off while accelerating. The contact stated that his wife was unaware if any warning light was illuminated on the instrument panel. She was able to immediately restart the vehicle and resume normal driving. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

MY CAR STALLED ON ME WHILE DRIVING. THE FIRST TIME (2014) IT HAPPENED I WAS MAKING A TURN ON A CITY STREET. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. IT JUST STALLED WHILE DRIVING LAST WEEK FOR A SECOND TIME. I WAS WAITING ON A LIGHT ON A CITY STREET. MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY DEAD I COULDN'T PUT THE HAZARD LIGHTS ON. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A SCHOOL ZONE. I TRIED STARTING IT AND NOTHING. TWO GENTLEMEN HAD TO PUSH MY CAR OUT OF TRAFFIC. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE, IMAGINE HAD I BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY SOMEONE WOULD OF HIT FROM ME BEHIND AS I HAD NO POWER AT ALL. THERE WAS NO WAY OF WARNING THE CARS BEHIND ME AS I HAD NO POWER. I REPLACED THE BATTERY IN 1/2021 AND ALTERNATOR IN 3/2021. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE DODGE FORUM WEBSITE I BELIEVE SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE FOR SAFETY ISSUES. ALSO MY BLUETOOTH SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING THAT IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE. I DID COMPLAIN TO DODGE AND THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON THE DODGE FORUM WEBSITE. MY DODGE JOURNEY IS CURRENTLY AT A SHOP UNDER DIAGNOSTICS. IT MAKES IT UNSAFE FOR ME TO WANT TO DRIVE IT AT THIS POINT.

ABOUT OCTOBER 2019, WHILE PULLING INTO A GAS STATION, MY 2013 DODGE JOURNEY JUST SHUT OFF. NO WARNINGS, NO LIGHTS WENT OFF TO INDICATE WHAT HAPPENED. I PUT IT IN PARK, PUSHED THE IGNITION BUTTON SO THAT THE CAR WAS ACTUALLY OFF, AND THEN RE-STARTED IT. IT STARTED WITH NO ISSUES, AND WAS FINE. THEN IN NOVEMBER OF 2019 MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE AND HAD THEM RUN A DIAGNOSTIC ON IT, WHICH CAME BACK THAT THE CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR NEED SOME ATTENTION. HOWEVER, THE NEXT DAY WHEN I STARTED MY CAR, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WASN'T ON, AND IT STAYED OFF. THAT IS UNTIL TODAY, 2.20.2020. WHILE DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE AUTO STORE, HAD THEM RUN A TEST, WHICH CAME BACK AS THE CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR AGAIN. MY CAR HASN'T STOPPED ON ME YET, AND I HOPE IT DOESN'T, AND I AM LOOKING TO GET THIS REPAIRED. HOWEVER, EVERY ONE I HAVE SEEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUE, STATES IT HAPPENS REPEATEDLY. I REALLY HOPE TO HAVE A RECALL ON THIS, AS IT APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE ITSELF AND NOT SOMETHING THE CONSUMERS SHOULD HAVE TO KEEP PAYING FOR! WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DRIVE IN FEAR EVERY TIME WE GET BEHIND THE WHEEL, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE HAVE CHILDREN RIDING IN OUR VEHICLES! PLEASE FIX THIS!

MY DODGE JOURNEY'S ENGINE SHUT OFF TWICE WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH NO WARNING. NO LOSS OF LIGHTS OR RADIO, BUT THE ENGINE JUST SHUTS OFF AND CAR CANNOT BE RESTARTED. THE FIRST TIME I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, AND RIGHT AFTER ACCELERATING FROM A STOP AT A RED LIGHT THE CAR DIED. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED, AND HAD AN AUTO PART STORE DO SOME BASIC TESTS AND WAS TOLD IT WAS JUST A BAD BATTERY, HOWEVER WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN THE DAY AFTER REPLACING THE BATTERY. THIS TIME I WAS ON A CITY STREET HAVING JUST EXITED OFF OF THE INTERSTATE. I WAS IN TRAFFIC AND AGAIN THE CAR JUST LOST POWER DUE TO THE ENGINE SHUTTING DOWN. AGAIN IT WOULD NOT START AND COULD NOT BE JUMP STARTED SO HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. DEALER WAS ABLE TO GET A CODE P061C, AND FOLLOWED INSTRUCTIONS TO UPDATE THE PCM. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, A SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS APPLIED TO THE POWER CONTROL MODULE. I AM VERY CONCERNED WITH THE FACT THAT MY CAR CAN JUST SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE WITH NO WARNING AT ALL. VERY DANGEROUS.

MY 2013 DODGE JOURNEY HAS A RANDOM NO START. IT WILL JUST CLICK. THE BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, AND STARTER ARE ALL GOOD. I USUALLY HAVE TO JUMP IT TO GET IT TO START. SOMETIMES THAT DOESN'T EVEN WORK. IT WILL MAKE THE LIGHTS START TO GO HAYWIRE. THEY WILL FLICKER OR FLASH ON AND OFF. IT WILL SAY NO KEY DETECTED WHEN I'M LITERALLY SITTING WITH MY KEY FOB IN HAND. IT IS A PUSH BUTTON START. I HAVE GOT THE BATTERIES REPLACED IN THE KEY FOB AS WELL. THIS WILL HAPPEN AT RANDOM. IT'S HAPPENED IN MY DRIVEWAY WITH A SLIGHT INCLINE SO WE PARKED IT ON THE CURB WHERE IT WAS FLAT TO SEE OF MAYBE THE INCLINE OF THE DRIVEWAY HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT, BUT IT'S DONE IT ON FLAT SURFACES AS WELL. I HAVE TRIED TO LOOK UP REASONS WHY AND HAVE SEEN THIS AS AN ISSUE WITH A LOT OF OTHER JOURNEY OWNERS. THIS STARTED BACK IN THE SPRING AND HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES IN A WEEK THEN IT WILL STOP FOR ALMOST A MONTH AND THE CYCLE WILL START ALL OVER AGAIN.

Mileage: 77,000

THE ENGINE HAS STARTED TO CUT OFF WHEN I DECELERATE, SUCH AS TO MAKE A TURN OR COME TO A STOP. THIS IS DANGEROUS IN MID-TRAFFIC, ESPECIALLY WHEN MY FAMILY IS IN THE CAR. IT HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES AND IS BECOMING MORE FREQUENT, AS IN THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS YESTERDAY. I SEE THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM CUSTOMERS EXPERIENCING THIS WITH THEIR DODGE JOURNEYS AND WONDERING WHY THERE ISN'T A RECALL FOR THIS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS OCCURRENCE.

Mileage: 172,000

I WAS CHARGED OVER $1100 FOR AN ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY AND LABOR. THEN WHEN I WAS GIVEN MY BILLING PAPERWORK THE MILAGE WAS WRITTEN IN AS 155000 MILES. MY ACTUAL MILEAGE WAS OVER 167000 MILES THEREBY VOIDING ALL WARRANTIES AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTO. I HAD TO RETURN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND FORCE THEM TO FIX THE PAPERWORK. JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO I TOOK MY CHALLENGER IN TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION SERVICED. THEY OVERFILLED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. AGAIN I HAD TO RETURN TO HAVE THE ISSUE RESOLVED. I HAVE BEEN GOING TO THE LAKE CITY DEALERSHIP FOR 6 YEARS AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WHEN IT WAS SUNBELT . NOW IT IS ROUNDTREE MOORE AND I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES SINCE THE CHANGE.

MY JOURNEY KEEPS STALLING ON ME ESPECIALLY WHEN STOPPED (RED LIGHTS,STOP SIGNS, IN TRAFFIC ETC.) AT ONE POINT IT EVEN STALLED OUT ON ME WHILE DRIVING AND I COULDN'T MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL, BRAKES, NOTHING! IT COMPLETELY LOCKED UP. I WAS LUCKY THAT THAT TIME I WAS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN IN A CAR ACCIDENT. AT FIRST THE FUEL CAP LIGHT KEPT COMING ON, DODGE DEALER TOLD US TO JUST HAVE THE CAP REPLACED (WE DID) BUT THE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND OFF STILL AND NOT RESOLVING ANY PROBLEMS. THEN A RED LIGHTENING BOLT CAME ON A COUPLE TIMES AND THAT'S WHEN MY CAR WOULD SHUT OFF AT A STOP AND TRY RESTARTING ON ITS OWN. NOW AT THE MOMENT NO LIGHTS ARE ON AND IT'S STILL STALLING. AND EVERY TIME IS STALLS IT'S ALWAYS IN DRIVE AND WILL COMPLETELY TURN OFF. IT HAS STALLED IN PARKED A FEW TIMES ALSO BUT MAJORITY OF THE TIME IS WHEN STOPPED IN DRIVE. THIS IS VERY VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE 3 KIDS WHO ARE ALWAYS WITH ME. I CAN'T IMAGINE IF SOMETHING HAPPENED BECAUSE OF THIS. I'VE DONE MY RESEARCH AND NOTICED THERE ARE MANY MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. DODGE NEEDS TO RECALL THE VEHICLE QUICKLY BEFORE THEY RUN INTO A LAWSUIT.

Mileage: 128,000

BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS PERFORMED I WAS TOLD TO CHANGE THE ALTERNATOR WHICH I DID. AN HOUR LATER THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN THEN I WAS TOLD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY WHICH I DID. AFTER AN HOUR DRIVE THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN I WAS TOLD THE BATTERY SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE NEXT DAY THE CAR DIED COMPLETELY I HAD TO GET TOWED. I WAS TOLD TO GET AN ALTERNATOR FROM MOPAR WHICH I DID. NEW BATTERY ANOTHER NEW ALTERNATOR A NEW SENSOR NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON.

MISFIRE, LOSS OF POWER, AND STALLING WHILE IN MOTION AND WHILE IDLING . HAD VEHICLE INSPECTED. CYLINDER #2 HAS A MISFIRE AND THE CYLINDER HEAD NEEDS REPLACED. I WAS INFORMED THAT MY YEAR MAKE AND MODEL WAS INVOLVED IN AN EXTENDED WARRANTLY FROM CHRYSLER TO COVER ALL VEHICLES FITTED WITH THE 3.6 LITER MOTOR FOR THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE. HOWEVER MY PARTICULAR VIN ISN'T SHOWING THAT IT IS COVERED EVEN THOUGH I HAVE THE EXACT SAME MOTOR, YEAR MAKE AND MODEL, AND ISSUES AS THE OTHERS. THIS IS NOT FAIR THAT I AM EXPERIENCE THESE ISSUES BUT THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT BECAUSE MY VIN ISN'T ON THE LIST!!! THIS IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX AND IS DANGEROUS. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND COMPLETELY LOST POWER, I WAS ALMOST HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE I WAS TRYING TO FIND A PLACE TO GET OFF THE ROAD. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WILL STALL WHEN I AM PULLING OUT , WHICH HAS LEFT ME STALLING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. THIS IS MY PRIMARY VEHICLE AND I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT. THIS IS A DEFECT THAT HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED BY CHRYSLER GROUP AND YET THEY REFUSE TO FIX MY VEHICLE. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS TO COVER THE PENTASTAR V6 3.6 LITER SIX-CYLINDER TO 10 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES WHICH EVER COMES FIRST.

THEN IT SAID VEHICLE NOT IN PARK OF WHICH IT WAS. MY UCONNECT SCREEN KEPT TRYING TO LOAD AND WOULD JUST KEEP GOING OUT. I HAD 3 PEOPLE TRY TO JUMP IT JUST IN CASE THE BATTERY WAS DEAD EVEN THOUGH I KNEW IT WASN'T INCLUDING THE TOW SERVICE FOR MY INSURANCE. NONE OF THIS WORKED.
