2017 DODGE JOURNEY Engine Problems

CATALYTIC CONVERTERS ON THESE MODELS ARE FAILING TOO. THERE ARE RECALLS ON THE OTHER 2017 DODGE JOURNEYS, PLEASE ADD THIS MODEL TOO THEM ASAP ITS DANGEROUS AND WE USE THIS TO TRANSPORT KIDS. THANK YOU PHOTOS OF FAILING CODES AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST

My check light came on and when I check the code which was a p0420, Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1). Emissions Recall U67: Catalytic Converter Efficiency. This was part of the recall. Therefore it doesn’t meet the CA emissions standard. It is causing my vehicle to slightly overheat at standstill. It’s hasn’t been inspected yet and It has been over a month since this started happening to the vehicle.

My family has two Dodge journeys both 2017s. The catalytic converter code keeps popping on our cars. Other years of Dodge journeys and other Dodge vehicles have had recalls for those but not ours. Seems suspect to me that we would have two Dodge journeys that are popping for the same codes, and this seems to be a issue in other Dodge journey years previously.

My wife and I each have a 2017 Dodge journey. Both of our vehicles have now shown codes for catalytic converter issues. Previous years of Dodge journeys have been recalled for similar issues, but not ours at least not yet. I don't think it's right that we should have to repair on two cars the exact same issue that is reported for other journey years.

Didn’t get into accident but a couple months ago my car wouldn’t start , wouldn’t try to the lights wouldn’t come on nothing. Someone cleaned battery terminal it started . Now randomly sometimes it won’t start it will try but won’t so I put it neutral and barley push it toward put it back in park then it will start .

I am so not happy with Jacob Conlon who works at Mitsubishi in La porte. I realized that he was playing with me all the time and that he never repaired my suv until I found out from Danny who works at Dodge.  I dropped it off at service and picked it up more than 5 times  because Jacob never repair it

The vehicle shuts off while driving. It has occurred 6 times over the course of a year. It results in a total loss of power, steering, brakes creating a very unsafe scenario. It has happened 5 times while doing above 35 mph and in one case above 50 mph and resulting in one missed stop sign. This creates a tremendous level of anxiety. I have taken it in on four occasions to reputable repair facilities Christian brothers automotive for repair three times soon to be four times and CarMax once. Three times I was turned away with no help only inspection fees. The fourth time Christian brothers replaced cam shaft sensors only to have another incident while driving 40mph down the road. Thankfully I was able to stop safely and now I have another appointment scheduled for service. I feel like there is a safety miss on this vehicle.

I bought my 2017 Dodge Journey in September 2021, as I was driving home I noticed an issue with acceleration. I would have my foot on the throttle and the vehicle would seemingly convulse, like accelerate then bow down and repeat. I brought It back to the dealership and they kept it for a week and returned my vehicle stating they couldn't figure out the issue. to this day it still does the same thing! Its so dangerous especially when pulling out from a stop sign or a highway into flowing traffic. Sometimes My car will accelerate Great! Mostly its slow and harsh when im on the throttle. Only stops when I release the gas petal or floor it... NOT SAFE The dealership

My engine light came on my vehicle and the dealership says it’s a catalytic converter problem and I need a new one. That part apparently is recalled on other vehicles but not on mine for the year 2017. But other vehicles are having issues with that part as well and the dealership says the manufacturer should pay for it since it’s recalled but the manufacturer told me no due to not being in a certain year. I have kids and need my car.

The vehicle wouldn’t start, just kept idolizing. After trying for 10 minutes then getting a new key battery, the vehicle started then engine light was on. A code for crankshaft was on. But then check engine light went off by time I was home. Car broke down in middle of road. Wheel and breaks locked up which was very unsafe with my kids in car and I was unable to move it till tow truck came. Vehicle started working once it was at the auto repair shop. So we had him change the fuel pump because nothing else would show was wrong with the vehicle. Then 5 days later it broke down again. It is now back at the auto repair with no code showing.

Catalytic converter. Emissions. 2011-2016 Dodge Journey Were recalled.

I took my car in for an engine knocking noise and was told that my motor needs to be replace. I was told that they have recalled all the other motors that were made during this time period but mine is not part of the recall. They have attempted it is a known issue with the cylinder that were put in the 2.4 L motors but will not help me in fixing the issue because they don't have my motor on recall. My is the E5 and the motors that they have recalled are the E4 and E6 motors that were put into the Jeeps and the Chrysler but they have not recalled the Dodges motors. Consumer have found out that these motors in fact have two recalls on them. The recall number is W80 and W84. They have found that the cylinder O-rings are bad, and this is confirmed with the with the notice that was sent with NHTSA ID # 10138863 with the manufacture communication number 9003357. Dodge is still refusing to fix the issue and replace the motor.

The contact owns a 2017 Dodge Journey. The contact stated while driving approximately 45 MPH, she heard a clicking sound coming from the engine compartment. The contact stated that the vehicle lost motive power and stalled. The contact stated that there was smoke coming from underneath the passenger’s side hood. The contact stated that she did not notice any warning lights being illuminated. The power steering and brakes were still functioning as needed which allowed her to pull the vehicle safely to the side shoulder. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the engine needed replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 35,000.

CHRYSLER DODGE DEALER CLAIMS THERE ARE 40,000 ORDERS FOR THIS PART IN WAITING AND THAT THE TIMETABLE FOR GETTING A REPLACEMENT PART IS INDEFINITE. THEIR SUGGESTION IS TO KEEP REFILLING WITH OIL FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. THEY STATE THE PART MAY EVENTUALLY BE A RECALLED BUT IS NOT YET. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE WITH SO MANY KNOWN PROBLEMS THAT IT'S NOT BEEN RECALLED ALREADY. ADDITIONALLY IT'S A $700 REPAIR FOR A KNOWN ISSUE.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, A RED BATTERY IMAGE DISPLAYED ON THE MENU CENTER SCREEN.NEXT DAY HAD IT CHECKED, WAS TOLD ALL WAS FINE,EVERYTHING CHECK OUT..A WEEK LATER WAS ON FREEWAYAGAIN,HEADLIGHTS FLICKED, RADIO WENT DEAD(DISPLAY &SOUND) TWICE, ENGINE BOGGED DOWN BRIEFLY. CAR IS IN SHOP NOW..TWO DAYS.AND NO ACCURATE DIAGNOSIS..THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A WELL-DOCUMENTED PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL OF VEHICLE..HAS THIS CAUSED DEATH? WILL IT LEAD TO DEATH, YES, IS THERE HELP FOR THE CONSUMERS?? I'M AWARE OF NUMEROUS ELECTRONICAL PROBLEMS WITH THESE AND OTHER DODGE VEHICLES. AS I HAVE OWNED ONE IN THE PAST WITH A SIMILAR PROBLEM. THAT COST ME THOUSANDS , AND COULD NOT BE FIXED, EVEN BY A TECH FROM CORPORATE OUT OF STATE..NOW WITH MY CURRENT SITUATION HOW CAN I BE CONFIDENT ON THE ROAD? ALSO WHY, WHEN THE DEALERSHIP KNOW(FOR A FACT) THEIR VEHICLES HAVE THESE ISSUES. THEY CHARGE A $180.00 DIAGNOSTIC FEE, THAT CAN NOT BE APPLIED TO REPAIR..UNFAIR AND CRIMINAL TO PUT VEHICLES ON THE ROAD THEY KNOW ARE FAULTY..FAULTY AS IN ELECTRONIC ISSUES THAT NO ONE CAN PINPOINT..AND IT APPEARS THAT IF THEY THROW ENOUGH PARTS AT IT, MAYBE THAT WILL WORK...THESE ISSUES MUST STOP!!

FIRST IT WAS ALL THE LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD WOULD STAY ON. MY USB AND CHARGING PORTS WOULD GO OUT. EVERY ONCE IN WHILE MY DIGITAL SPEEDOMETER WOULD RANDOMLY START DOUBLING MY SPEED. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY APPARENTLY REPLACED THE PART NEEDED. THAT SEEMED TO FIX THAT PROBLEM AT LEAST FOR NOW. BUT NOW THE SPEEDOMETER HERE AND THERE WILL ACT UP AGAIN. WHEN IT DOES , IT'S ALMOST AS IF THE ENGINE IS WORKING AGAINST ME TO GO. IT FEELS LIKE IT TRIES TO STOP ME WHEN I AM PRESSING THE GAS TO GO. IT DOES NOT DO THIS ALL THE TIME. BUT IT IS MORE FREQUENT THAN USUAL. WE JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE A LITTLE LESS THAN TWO YEARS AGO. IT STARTED OFF WITH MINOR THINGS , BUT NOW SEEMS TO BE TURNING FOR THE WORSE. I AM CONCERNED OF IT GO OUT ALL TOGETHER COMPLETELY.DEALERSHIP WE WENT TO MADE IT SEEM LIKE IT WAS NOTHING. BUT BEING A DAILY DRIVING I KNOW OTHERWISE.

THIS IS A FOLLOW-UP TO 11244334 AND 11243797. FOR BACKGROUND, THE 2017 JOURNEY BEGAN STALLING INTERMITTENTLY AND NOT THROWING A CODE (STARTING AT ABOUT 23,500 MILES). THE STALLING OCCURRED DURING ALL DRIVING CONDITIONS AND SPEEDS. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE EVENT AND TOLD ME TO DRIVE UNTIL IT THROWS A CODE. AFTER 6,000 MILES AND HUNDREDS OF STALLS THE VEHICLE FINALLY THREW A CODE, (29,500 MILES, P0335 CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR). THE SENSOR REPLACED, CONNECTOR DID NOT FIT SENSOR WELL SO IT WAS REPLACED (SUBJECT OF COMPLAINT 11244334). THOUGHT IT WAS FIXED, AND THREE DAYS LATER, IT STALLED AGAIN ON THE HIGHWAY. ONLY THIS TIME THE TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON AND BRAKES DID NOT WORK INTERMITTENTLY. BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP, THE TECHNICIAN IN HIS FRUSTRATION AND OPENED THE WIRING HARNESS. WHAT HE FOUND ABOUT 8 INCHES FROM THE CONNECTOR WAS "CRANK SHAFT POSITION WIRES CUT AND TWISTED TOGETHER..." THE SERVICE ADVISOR ASKED WHO ELSE WAS IN THERE.

THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF 11243797. FOR BACKGROUND, THE 2017 DOGE JOURNEY HAS BEEN STALLING INTERMITTENTLY STARTING AT 23,000 MILES MOST OF THE TIME NOT THROWING A CODE. THE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T RECREATE THE PROBLEM AND WITHOUT A CODE COULD NOT FIX WITHOUT A CODE. WE ENDURED 7,000 MILES AND 100'S OF STALLS (STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, HIGHWAY, LEFT TURNS IN FRONT OF ON-COMING TRAFFIC) BEFORE A CODE WAS THROWN INDICATING CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. UPON INSPECTION THE DEALER TECHNICIAN NOTED THAT THE CONNECTOR TO THE SENSOR DID NOT FIT THE SENSOR.

Mileage: 29,600

ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASH AND I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THAT THE CAR WAS HESITATING AND FELT AS IT WAS LOSING POWER WHILE ACCELERATING. I THEN TOOK IT INTO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND WAS INFORMED THAT MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND WAS OVER $800 IN REPAIRS. WHILE RESEARCHING ONLINE, I CAME ACROSS A RECALL FOR THE SAME EXACT ISSUE ON THE 2011-2016 SERIES OF THE DODGE JOURNEYS. I FEEL AS IF THE 2017 SERIES SHOULD BE INCLUDED AS WELL.

Mileage: 58,382

THE 2017 DODGE JOURNEY STALLS INTERMITTENTLY AT ALL SPEEDS AND DRIVING CONDITIONS. STOP AND GO IN TRAFFIC, ACCELERATING ON THE HIGHWAY, COASTING UP A HILL, STARTING FROM A STOP IN AN INTERSECTION. USUALLY NO CODES ARE THROWN. RECENTLY THE P0335 CODE WAS THROWN, CRANKSHAFT SPEED SENSOR WAS REPLACED. DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THE 2016 JOURNEY'S WERE RECALLED FOR THE SAME ISSUE. ARE THE 2017'S NOT WORTHY OF A RECALL OR DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE FIRST?

DURING USE OF THE VEHICLE, WHETHER STATIONARY OR IN MOTION, THE "GAS CAP LIGHT" WILL COME ON FOLLOWED BY "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT". WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE CODE P0456 WILL CAUSE THE CAR TO ACT INDIFFERENT, IT IS STILL DRIVABLE, BUT CAN CAUSE OTHER COMPONENTS TO SHOW A FALSE READING. THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN THE PAST 2 MONTHS, AND EVERY TIME WE GO TO THE DEALERSHIP THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL DISAPPEAR. WE HAVE CHECKED THE GAS CAP, AND THIS VEHICLE IS UNDER 17,000 MILES. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH DODGE, JEEP, AND CHRYSLER VEHICLES, AND THIS SHOULD BE HANDLED BY THE MANUFACTURER. TREAT THIS KNOWN ISSUE AS A RECALL, AND IMPROVE UPON YOUR EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM.
