2012 Dodge Journey Electrical Problems

Your 2012 Dodge Journey has experienced multiple serious failures including transmission breakdown (causing loss of power on the highway), engine problems (camshaft, rocker arm, ignition coil, and thermostat issues), and brake system malfunctions. While other model year Journeys have been recalled for these same defects, your vehicle has not been included in those recalls despite experiencing identical problems. Repairs may involve transmission rebuild, engine component replacement, and brake system inspection and repair.

Abs, brake, and traction light coming on coded c2200-49 told there was a recall and when I called the dealership they said it wasn't for my vehicle but they couldn't even order the part because they're having to replace them on so many and they are not in stock anywhere until after April 15th. If this has been an issue with other vehicles and is currently an issue with mine why is it not under the recall??? 2012 Dodge Journey sxt

Airbag light is on. P06DD Engine oil pressure control circuit performance /stuck off

March 10th 2023 . Driver side door panel Caught on fire. The panel has was replaced by National Auto Sales 3 times. It renders me (the owner) of 2012 dodge journey not to able to open the driver side door & all the windows. I think this is very dangerous & a safety issue.

The car shifts super hard into second gear. The inside smells like the car is over heating,driving down the interstate the car losses power,you can push your foot to the floor and nothing,the car will not excelerate at all.It's extremely dangerous. You have to pull over turn the car off and then on again to get it to go. This happens about every 20 minutes or so,the heat only works in the driver vent and the smell gives you a headache and makes you sick to your stomach. The vehicle is not safe at all. The catalytic converter gives gas off into the cabin.

So I the wiring harness in the hatch needed replaced. So we replaced it and a year later the interior light would come on randomly, then my rear wiper stopped working, all my rear light are messed up sometimes they work sometimes they don't. And not the computer says don't ajar so I can't lock my 2012 journey and the alarm goes of randomly... I'm afraid it's gonna catch fire like I have been reading online.

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

MY FAMILY AND I ,WAS GOING THROUGH ANINTERSECTION WHEN SOMEONE RAN RED LIGTH WE PERFORMED AN EMERGENCY STOP APPLYING BRAKE PEDAL WHERE ABS KICKED IN ,NO COLLISON ACCURED BUT THE ABS AND BRAKE PEDAL SYSTEM "DID NOT'' RECOVER WITH THE PEDAL CONTINUE TO FADE TO FLOOR AFTERWARDS ..... THERE ARE NO CURRENTLY NO VISIABLE LEAKS ON BRAKING SYSTEM AND BRAKE PADS BOTH FRONT AND REAR ARE 8-10 MM IN THICKNESS

As I was braking to enter the on-ramp of Hwy 1923 from Asheville, I noticed for the second time, my brakes were not slowing me down as usual, instead, they acted as if they were slowly grabbing. As I speed up to the correct speed limit, It seemed as though my brakes started to grab again without me depressing the brake pedal. The vehicle made a throbbing, and vibrating sound. All this after just having taken the vehicle to my mechanic for the same problem two days prior. The back brakes were replaced, the front brakes looked fine, and everything was checked out. Two days later brakes started acting up again, not working normally and acting as if thay are grabbing and vibrating the vehicle! No warning lights were shown. Next step is the Dodge Dealer. Another very aggravating glitch that the Dodge Dealer said that didn see, is the fact that every time I park the vehicle, I have to turn the sterring wheel a certain way before the battery will shut off, if not the battery will be drained!

Battery drain when car turned off

The clvehicke will stall at slow motion and on highway dash lights will flicker and eventually shut off … only thing that helps is to wiggle the wiring harness until dash comes back on

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.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The check engine light came on a few days ago and now the battery light came on. The right headlight has condensation in it and the heat slowly has gone out across the front panel. The touch screen sometimes works but sometimes malfunctions. I have to get my car changed from Michigan to Virginia and it will require an inspection How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The car slows down or electrical goes wired while I’m the car and I have 2 children under the age of 2. So if it catches fire due to an electrical problem or the engine fails while driving because of the check engine light or battery light it could cause a serious problem Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? No Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No they just started a few days ago the check engine light came on and now the battery light came on. It’s been a great car but I’m not sure what’s happening now because it’s nothing I did.

Anti lock system engage comes on while driving , causing vehicle to shut down was informed by dealership ( where diagnostic was done )to take vehicle to manufacturer this has been ongoing issue for months. I have paid money on serveral tow bills (stuck on roads )and numerous out of pocket expenses. I am paying car notes but “ walk “ or pay for alternative transportation for safety for “ myself “ and children

Electrical - the vehicle while driving just shut off. No power, no lights, the engine died. The vehicle was brought to a stop, placed in park and then restarted without issue. The ABS system - the brakes failed to work. While at a stop light, brakes depressed, the vehicle began rolling backwards.

Total loss of power while driving. Clock resets to noon. Gas Guage shows over filled once vehicle gets put in park and gets turned back on. No codes on the dash. Touchscreen normally red. Turns to blue for duration of vehicle trip. Then back to red next trips. Can't be duplicated by mechanic. Wierd fuel odor coming from vehicle. Steering locks up after total loss of power. No problems with not starting so far. But driving with 3 yr old on busy streets is dangerous now

My safety was at risk and I put others at risk when my vehicle lost power in the middle of a busy highway and almost caused an accident with my 2 young children in the car. It would not accelerate and we got stuck in the middle of the rode. The ABS light came on when it happened. I took it to my local dealer to diagnose and was told there was water in the ABS module connector which caused the wires to corrode. Chrysler had a recall on this specific issue for my model but because my vehicle didn't come out of a specific batch, they won't cover it. This is a safety issue and if other vehicles of this make and model were recalled for this specific issue, they should fix mine. I have attached the R61 recall from Chrysler for this issue

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE ACTIVATED, THE TURN SIGNALS WOULD LOSE FUNCTIONALITY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE, AIR BAGS, AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER MAX CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM BELTON (7820 E. 171ST ST, BELTON, MO 64012, (816)331-4300) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING THE CLOCKSPRING TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 173,000.

THE RADIO/THERMOSTAT WINDOW POWER LOCKS AND USB SLOWLY STARTED TO MALFUNCTION. NOW THE SCREEN TO THE RADIO AND THERMOSTAT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. THE WIRING HARNESSES LOCATED AT THE REAR HATCH WHICH HAS NO VISIBLE OUTSIDE DAMAGE, YES ALL THE WIRING INSIDE IS PINCHED AND EXPOSED. THE ONLY WAY WE DISCOVERED IT WAS BECAUSE THE BACK WIPER BLADE WENT OUT.

I HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH HEAT EVERY WINTER FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS. I HAVE PAID THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON THIS EVERY WINTER AND WILL WORK FOR THAT SEASON ONLY.

NHTSA ID NUMBER:11258769 ENGINE LIGHT MULTIPLE TIMES- EMISSIONS CONTROL - FOUND ONLINE BUT DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL: IN AFFECTED CARS, FCA WILL REPLACE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND UPDATE SOFTWARE FOR THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE — THAT IS, YOUR CAR’S PRIMARY DRIVETRAIN COMPUTER. FCA WILL RECYCLE THE OLD CATALYTIC CONVERTER TO REMOVE THE PRECIOUS METALS COMMON IN SUCH DEVICES, A USUAL PRACTICE. “OBVIOUSLY THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, THAT’S THE BIGGEST PART OF THIS,” CHERNOBY SAID. THE REPLACEMENT CONVERTER HAS A “DIFFERENT MIXTURE OF PRECIOUS METALS … TO BE LESS SUSCEPTIBLE TO SULFUR IN THE FUEL,” HE ADDED. DUE TO THE NUMBER OF REPLACEMENT CATALYTIC CONVERTERS NEEDED, THE AUTOMAKER IS RECALLING CARS IN WAVES.

THE 2012 DODGE JOURNEY SUV WIRING HARNESS IN THE REAR HATCH IF USED REGULARLY THE WIRES WILL BRAKE AND CAUSE NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL ISSUES. RANGING FROM NO REAR LIGHTS, WINDSHIELD WIPER, THE REAR LOCK BUTTON WILL ALSO MALFUNCTION. SOMETIMES AS IN MY CASE IT HAS CAUSE ALTERNATOR ISSUES. I AM NOW BROKE DOWN DUE TO WHAT WILL NOW BE MY 3RD ALTERNATOR IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS. I FEEL THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO RECALLED.

THE THERMAL STAT HOUSING HAS BEEN REPLACED 2 TIMES. THE OIL PAN GASKET DOES LOT LAST. THE ALTERNATOR HAS BEEN REPLACED 2 TIMES. THE WAS AN ELECTRICAL SHORTAGE IN THE SB PORT BUT ONLY SEEMED TO WORKED WHEN IT WAS TAKEN TO DEALER. THE HEAD REST DEPLOYED WHEN NO ONE WAS IN THE CAR.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WITH MY TWO KIDS WHEN I HAD TURNED MY BRIGHT LIGHTS ON THEN OFF AGAIN AS CARS WERE COMING WHEN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURNED ON. THEY WILL NOT TURN OFF, THE HIGH BEAMS WON'T TURN ON AND MY BLINKERS DO NOT WORK AS WELL. EVERYTIME I START THE VEHICLE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURN ON AND CANNOT BE TURNED OFF AGAIN. EVERYTHING IN THE SWITCH THAT CONTROLS ALL OF THESE FEATURES IS USELESS AND A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. LUCKILY WE WERE NOT HIT TURNING OFF THE HIGHWAY HEADED HOME.

I HAVE BEEN READING ABOUT MY ISSUE ALL TOO OFTEN ONLINE AND HAVE YET TO SEE ANY RESOLUTION AT ALL. I HAVE A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY AND HONESTLY IT IS SCARY DRIVING IT! THE CAR ACTUALLY SHUTS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT WARNING. THE ISSUE IT KEEPS SHOWING IS A CRANK SENSOR CODE. THE SENSOR HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES NOW! IT IS ALSO NOT AN EASY JOB SINCE ON AN ALL WHEEL DRIVE MODEL, THERE ARE MANY HOURS INVOLVED TO REPLACE IT. BUT IF YOU'RE ON THE HIGHWAY AND DRIVING NORMALLY THE CAR WILL DIE AT ANY MOMENTS NOTICE AND GIVE NO WARNING. SEEMS LIKE THERE ARE MANY MANY OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. IF YOU DO A QUICK SEARCH AND TYPE DODGE JOURNEY DIES WHILE DRIVING YOU WILL EASILY FIND MANY PEOPLE WITH SAME ISSUE. MANY PEOPLE SPENDING THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY ON REPAIRS THAT GET THEM NOWHERE! THIS REALLY IS SAD AND DODGE HAS DONE NOTHING TO HELP EXCEPT CONTINUE TO PUT PEOPLES LIVES AT RISK AND TAKING THEIR MONEY FOR REPAIRS! PLEASE HELP! I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE OVER 30 TIMES IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS! THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE

MY TRUCK FIRST STARTED WITH MY DRIVERS SIDE TAILLIGHT GOING OUT. IT DON'T WORK WHEN MY LIGHTS ARE OFF, BUT WHEN MY LIGHT OUT ON IT WORKS PREFECT FINE. WHEN I FIRST NOTICE THIS WAS WHEN I WENT TO GET IN MY CAR DURING THE DAY AND MY NEIGHBORS WHO WAS PARKED BEHIND ME TOLD ME MY TAILLIGHT WAS OUT AND WAS THE LED TAILLIGHT. I BELIEVE THERE IS AS ELECTRICAL ISSUES THERE. AND SECONDLY, MY AIRBAG LIGHT COME ON. THE VEHICLE WAS ON A CITY STREET AND ALL I DID WAS TURNING A CORNER AND IT CAME ON AND STILL ON. THIRDLY, WHEN IT RAINING OUTSIDE DRIVING AND STOP AT A RED LIGHT, WHEN IT TURNS GREEN AND I PROCEED TO GO AND MY TIRES SLIDE MY RADIO WOULD RESTART LIKE I JUST CUT MY TRUCK ON. EVERYTHING HAPPENED AT DIFFERENT TIMES, BUT THE MOST RECENT IS THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMING ON.

I HAVE HAD MY SPEED CENSOR AND WHEEL BEARING REPAIRED TWICE VERY CLOSELY TOGETHER AND IT NOW NEEDS DONE AGAIN. MY ABS, TRACTION, AND AWD LIGHTS ARE ALL ON. WHEN THEY ARE ALL ON, I HAVE NO TRACTION AT ALL AND SLIDE ALL OVER THE PLACE. IT IS VERY UNSAFE AND I FEEL LIKE MY CAR IS A DEATH TRAP. I HAVE PUT OVER $10,000 INTO MY CAR IN LESS THAN 3 YEARS FOR UNNECESSARY MAINTENANCE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS. UPON EXITING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO REMOVE HER CHILD FROM THE VEHICLE, BUT NEITHER OF THE REAR DOORS WOULD OPEN ON EITHER SIDE. THE DOORS ALSO FAILED TO OPEN FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT CALLED SUBURBAN FORD OF STERLING HEIGHTS (40333 VAN DYKE AVE, STERLING HEIGHTS, MI 48313, (586) 268-7500), BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE CONTACT THEN CALLED RAY LAETHEM CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (18001 MACK AVE, DETROIT, MI 48224, (313) 884-7210) AND WAS INSTRUCTED ON HOW TO REMOVE HER CHILD OUT OF VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BATTERY WOULD SUDDENLY FAIL INTERMITTENTLY AND THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE TO BE JUMPSTARTED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT CALLED DISHMAN DODGE RAM CHRYSLER JEEP (LOCATED AT 7700 E SPRAGUE AVE, SPOKANE, WA 99212, 509-724-0024) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE BATTERY FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE CONTINUED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS A COMMON FAILURE WITH THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO PERMANENT REMEDY. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 174,000.

MY DASH MESSAGE SAYS KEY FOB BATTERY LOW. SOMETIMES IT SAYS KEY NOT DETECTED AND I CAN NOT START THE CAR. AT OTHER TIMES THE FOB WON'T UNLOCK THE CAR.I HAVE CHANGED KEY FOB BATTERIES AND THAT DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS WHEN I TRY TO START THE CAR AFTER IT HAS BEEN PARKED AND I RETURN.

WATER LEAKS FROM THE HOOD BY THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT ON TO THE BATTERY CAUSING THE TERMINALS TO CORRODE OVER TIME. POOR DESIGN FLAW THAT LEFT ME HAVING TO CANCEL A TRIP.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR YESTERDAY WHEN THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO GET IT BACK HOME EVERYTHING IN THE CAR STARTED SHUTTING OFF AND THEN THE CAR STARTED STALLING WHILE I WAS ON THE ROAD I BARELY MADE IT INTO A GAS STATION BEFORE THE CAR DIED AND HAD IT TOWED TO TRIPLE A REPAIR SHOP TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTICS DONE ON THE CAR WHICH HAS NOW BEEN STATED TO ME THAT ITS THE ALTERNATOR AND IVE ONLY HAD THE CAR 3 MONTHS BOUGHT IT USED BUT THE BATTERY WENT BAD AND NOW THE ALTERNATOR IN LESS THEN 2 MONTHS OF EACH OTHER ALONG WITH THE ACTUATOR ALSO CLICKING WHEN THE ALTERNATOR WENT OUT. ALL OF THIS HAPPENING IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME. WHEN THE CAR STARTED DYING ALL THE ELECTRICAL LIGHTS WENT OFF THE BRAKES THE ABS THE AIR BAGS EVERYTHING AND THIS WAS ON A BUSY ROAD DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. I BARELY GOT MY CAR TO A SAFE LOCATION AND THAT WAS ONLY BECAUSE MY HUSBAND WAS FOLLOWING BEHIND ME IN HIS CAR. THIS PROBLEM MADE IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO BREAK AT RED LIGHTS AND GET MY CAR MOVING THRU THE INTERSECTION TO THE GAS STATION. AND THE CAR LIGHT WAS ON ABOUT 15 MINUTES MAYBE BEFORE IT FINALLY STALLED OUT THE CAR.

GOT MY 2012 DODGE JOURNEY A YEAR AGO LIVE THE RIG BUT HAS ALWAYS HAD ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS STEMMING FROM FUSE BOX. READS -15 ON DASH BOARD AT ALL TIMES, SOMETIMES WON'T START AND CAN WIGGLE FUSE BOX AROUND, YOU CAN HEAR THE SOUNDS OF ELECTRICAL POPS AND THEN WILL START AND DO FINE. TRYING TO SAVE UP FOR NEW ONE BUT OVER THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR NEW ONE. AND ONE MORE ISSUE MY JOURNEY CLEARLY SAYS SXT ON THE VEHICLE BUT THE VIN COMES UP ON YOUR SITE AS AN SE HOW DOES THAT WORK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ABS AND BRAKE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED. ON ONE OCCASION, THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED AND THEN RESET; HOWEVER, THE TWO INITIAL WARNING INDICATORS REMAINED LIT. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ARRIGO DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM WEST PALM BEACH (6500 OKEECHOBEE BLVD, WEST PALM BEACH, FL 33411, (561) 282-1545) WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED PER TWO UNKNOWN RECALLS; HOWEVER, THE ABS DEFECT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) CONTROL MODULE. THERE'S WAS A RECALL FOR OUR 2012 DODGE JOURNEY WHICH THE PREVIOUS OWNERS TOOK CARE OF IN OCT 2015 (THE MONTH AND YEAR OF RECALL). WE PURCHASED IN 2017. A FEW TIME THE ABS LIGHT HAS COME ON BUT ONLY FOR A MINUTE OR 2 SINCE WE BOUGHT IT. TODAY 8/2/2019 IT CAME ON ALONG WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT AND (NO TRACTION LIGHT (THE SWIVELING CAR IMAGE LIGHT). WE HAVE HAD A LOT OF HEAVY RAIN. WE WHERE TOLD BY SERVICING STATION BY DIAGNOSTIC TEST IT WAS THE ABS CONTROL MODULE SYSTEM MALFUNCTION. AND IF WE DID NOT GET FIXED OUR BRAKES COULD LOCK UP AND SYSTEM FREEZE UP. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE THAT WAS CORRECTED IN PAST BUT IS NOW HAPPENING AGAIN. THESE LIGHTS CAME ON JUST AS WE STARED TO DRIVE. WHEN THE CAR WAS RESTING FOR 30 MINUTES AND I WAS LEAVING TO DRIVE TO SERVICE STATION THE BREAK PEDAL WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO PUSH DOWN ( BREAK NEEDS TO BE PRESSED WITH TOUCH BUTTON START). I ALMOST COULDN'T START CAR. THE BREAK FINALLY SOFTENED AND I WAS ABLE TO PRESS DOWN TO START CAR. AT THAT POINT THE LIGHT DID NOT COME BACK ON FOR 5 MINUTES WHILE DRIVING BUT SADLY IT DID COME BACK. I FEEL WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT HAS COME UP AGAIN FROM A PREVIOUS RECALL. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN. IT WAS IN THE PAST AND SHOULD BE AGAIN.

WIRING HARNESS EXITING REAR OF VEHICLE ENTERING INTO REAR HATCH SUPPLYING POWER TO OVERHEAD BRAKE LIGHT, LICENSE PLATE LIGHTS AND HATCH DOME LIGHT IS SEVERED INSIDE RUBBER SLEEVE. I CURRENTLY HAVE NO LIGHTS TO THE REAR HATCH. RUBBER SLEEVE SHOWS NO SIGN OF FATIGUE OR FAILURE BUT WIRES INSIDE ARE SEVERED. LINK IS TO ANOTHER JOURNEY OWNERS VIDEO OF HIS SIMILAR ISSUE ONLY I HAVE SEVERAL BROKEN WIRES NOT JUST ONE. HTTPS://WWW.BING.COM/VIDEOS/SEARCH?Q=2012+REAR+HATCH+LIGHT+REPAIR&VIEW=DETAIL&MID=396EE57BEAE941266444396EE57BEAE941266444&FORM=VIRE . DODGE DEALER SAID NO OPEN RECALLS. PER VIDEO, PROBLEM REPORTED TO DODGE 2016. I HAD NO IDEA OF ISSUE UNTIL OIL CHANGE /INSPECTION TODAY 7/20/2019. FOR SOME REASON DID NOT APPEAR TO HAVE BLOWN ANY FUSES WHICH MEANS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR ARCHING/FIRE. DESIGN/SAFETY FLAW? THE OVERHEAD REAR BRAKE LIGHT WAS INSTALLED FOR A REASON AND SHOULD WORK. I WOULD HAVE TRIED TO INSERT PICTURES BUT I DO NOT OWN A CAMERA. VIDEO LINK ACCURATELY DEPICTS ISSUE EXCEPT IN MY CASE I HAVE SEVERAL SEVERED WIRES. CURRENTLY ONLY THE REAR HATCH LOCK WORKS. QUESTION: ATTEMPT REPAIR OR HAVE A MECHANIC REPLACE WIRING HARNESS? *TR

YESTERDAY, WHILE WAITING AT A STOP SIGN MY 2012 JOURNEY SHUT OFF. I HAD NO IDEA IT HAD EVEN SHUT OFF! I PRESSED THE GAS TO GO AND THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE. I WAS A LITTLE BAFFLED BECAUSE THE RADIO WAS STILL PLAYING. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND PRESSED THE IGNITION AND THE CAR STARTED AGAIN. THIS IS LATEST AND MOST UNSAFE ISSUE THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH THIS CAR. THE RADIO RANDOMLY CHANGES STATIONS AND IT DOESN'T SHUT OFF WHEN THE CAR IS SHUT OFF. I HAVE TO TURN THE RADIO OFF BEFORE I TURN THE CAR OFF BECAUSE IT WILL CONTINUE TO PLAY. THIS STARTED ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO. THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND THE DRIVERS DOOR WAS OPENED, BUT THE RADIO KEPT PLAYING. IF I FORGET TO TURN IT OFF BEFORE THE IGNITION, I HAVE TO RESTART THE CAR AND LET THE RADIO PLAY FOR A MIN OR SO BEFORE I CAN TURN IT OFF. ALSO, THE REAR AIR SUDDENLY COMES ON. WHEN I TURN IT OFF IT COMES BACK ON. IF IT'S SYNCED WITH THE FRONT AIR, IT WILL RANDOMLY GO TO THE HIGH SETTING. THE JOURNEY ALSO DOES A JERKING MOTION WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY OR NEIGHBORHOOD ROADS TOO. WE THOUGHT THAT MAYBE IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION, BUT WE HAD IT CHECKED AND IT'S FINE! AFTER YESTERDAY'S SUDDEN SHUTOFF, I'M WONDERING IF ALL THAT JERKING WAS A SIGN OF WHAT WAS TO COME. THE BRAKE LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON FOR A FEW WEEKS AS WELL. I COULD BE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY AND THE BREAK LIGHT COMES ON. IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT, ACCELERATION OR DRIVING AT A CONSTANT SPEED. IT HAPPENS SO FREQUENTLY THAT MY KIDS ARE LIKE, HERE WE GO AGAIN BECAUSE WE, OUR BODIES, START JERKING WITH THE CAR. WE BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW AT THE END OF 2011. I LOVED IT AT FIRST, BUT NOW I'M AFRAID TO PUT MY KIDS IN IT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. THERE ARE ISSUES WITH DIFF. MODEL YEARS, SO IF THE PROBLEMS ARE BEING FIXED ON SOME, IT SHOULD BE FIXED ON ALL. AFTER ALL, THE COMPANY MADE $ ON ALL OF THEM & OUR LIVES ARE VALUABLE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START INTERMITTENTLY. NAPLETON'S NORTHWESTERN CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (5950 N WESTERN AVE, CHICAGO, IL 60659, (773) 334-3400) STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE AND THE BATTERY WAS NOT SUCCESSFULLY SUPPLYING A CURRENT TO START THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WATCHED A YOUTUBE VIDEO AND TEMPORARILY REPAIRED THE VEHICLE BEFORE GOING TO THE DEALER. WHEN THE DEALER SAW THE REMEDY THAT WAS PERFORMED, THEY DID NOT SERVICE THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,620.

AFTER PARKING THE CAR, GOING INTO A STORE AND RETURNING TO THE CAR - IT WOULD NOT START. THE PUSH BUTTON WOULD NOT WORK. NOTHING CAME UP ON THE SCREEN. I WAS STRANDED UNTIL SOMEONE GAVE ME A RIDE. AFTERWARDS, A MECHANIC CHECKED THE VEHICLE. HE SAID THAT THE ALTERNATOR IS GOOD, THE BATTERY IS GOOD, THE STARTER IS GOOD, ALL THE FUSES AND RELAYS ARE GOOD. HE SAID THAT THIS ISSUE SEEMED TO BE RELATED TO A PROBLEM IN THE COMPUTER. I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN DODGE VEHICLES. I HAVE TRIED ALL OF THE TIPS THAT I CAN FIND ONLINE IN VIDEOS AND FORUMS, BUT THE CAR STILL WON'T START. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED ABOUT A MONTH AGO.

THIS ISSUE OCCURRED REGARDLESS IF THE CAR WAS IN MOTION OR STATIONARY. IT ALSO OCCURRED IF THE MOTOR WAS TURNED ON OR NOT. THE LICENSE PLATE LIGHT WAS OUT, BUT IT WAS NOT A BULB ISSUE. THE CENTER REAR BRAKE LIGHT (ON THE TAILGATE) WAS OUT, BUT IT WAS NOT A BULB ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE TAILGATE WIPER WOULD NOT RETURN TO THE HOME POSITION WHEN TURNED OFF. IT WOULD REMAIN WHEREVER IT WAS WHEN THE SWITCH WAS TURNED OFF. THIS WAS A VISIBILITY ISSUE. THE KEY-LESS ENTRY FOB WOULD NOT UNLOCK THE CAR DOORS. THIS WAS NOT A FOB BATTERY ISSUE. THIS WAS VERY PROBLEMATIC FOR PASSENGER DOORS WHICH COULD NOT BE UNLOCKED FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE THE CAR. THIS WAS BROUGHT TO A DEALER FOR REPAIR. THEY DIAGNOSED THE CAR WITH HAVING SPLIT WIRES IN THE LIFT GATE. I AM CONCERNED THAT SPLIT WIRES COULD HAVE CAUSED A SHORT AND EVENTUALLY A FIRE. ADDITIONALLY, A SHORT COULD HAVE CAUSED OTHER ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS OF THE CAR TO FAIL WHILE IN MOTION.

AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY GARAGE FOR THE WEEKEND IT WON'T START. IT SAYS THE KEY FOB IS NOT DETECTED OR IT'S SO DEAD IT WON'T SHOW ANYTHING AT ALL. I GET IT TO START AFTER GETTING JUMPED. IT TAKES ABOUT 5 MINUTES OF BEING HOOKED UP BEFORE IT'S CHARGED ENOUGH TO START. THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY BUT THE BATTERY IS BRAND NEW. MY MECHANIC HAS CHECKED IT MULTIPLE TIMES BUT CAN'T FIND ANY ISSUES. THIS IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING!!!!!! WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON WITH DODGE JOURNEYS???? IT HAS HAPPENED SO MANY TIMES KNOW, IT'S JUST RIDICULOUS!

I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE SINCE SEPTEMBER 2017. I HAVE HAD IT IN THE REPAIR SHOP TWICE FOR THIS NOT STARTING PROBLEM. IT STARTS WHEN IT WANTS TO. IF YOU TRY AND START IT IT CAN TAKE ANYWHERE FROM 2 MINUTES TO 2 HOURS TO FINALLY DECIDE TO START. I'VE TRIED TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL TO START BUT THAT DON'T WORK EITHER!!! THIS CAR IS A PIECE OF CRAP THAT I HAVE TO CONTINUE TO PAY FOR. CHRYSLER IS WRONG. THEY KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE COMPLAIN. I'M OVER IT!!!!

WHEN OPENING THE BACK HATCH, ALL THE DOORS WILL RANDOMLY LOCK OR UNLOCK. THE HATCH LIGHT DOES NOT WORK. THE REAR WINDOW, BACK HATCH, WIPER CLEANER WILL NOT WORK. ATTACHED IS A PICTURE OF THE WIRING HARNESS FOR THE BACK HATCH. ALL THE WIRES HAVE BEEN CUT JUST FROM REGULAR OPENING AND CLOSING OF THE HATCH DUE TO THE FACT WHERE IT IS LOCATED AND THAT WHEN THE HATCH IS CLOSED IT BENDS ALL THAT WIRING IN HALF. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURE AT LEAST 5 ARE COMPLETELY BROKEN AND MANY MORE ARE ALMOST COMPLETELY CUT.

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.

H20 SENSOR WHEN TURNING BUTTON TO HEAT UP CAR IT DOESNT WORK

I HAVE CHANGED MY KEY FOB 3 TIMES AND GOT A NEW BATTERY AND IT STILL SAY KEY IS NOT DETECTED. I HAVE TO GET A JOB EVERY 3 MONTHS TO GET MY CAR STARTED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS WERE ACTIVATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN REVERSE, THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHT ILLUMINATED. ALSO, THE MALFUNCTION WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TIM SHORT CHRYSLER (LOCATED AT 270 FITZ GILBERT RD, HAZARD, KY 41701, (606) 436-2277) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

LIFT GATE WIRING HARNESS BECOMES WEAK AND BRITTLE CAUSING WIRING TO FAIL. THIS WIRING FEEDS ALL LIGHTS AND FUNCTIONALITY ON THE READ LIFT GATE. DEALERS WILL REPAIR WHICH LAST A SHORT WHILE UNTIL FAILURE AGAIN.

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINTER 2015-2016 I HAD TO REPLACE MY RADIATOR DUE TO A SMALL CRACK THAT DEVELOPED. MY HEAT STARTED TO MALFUNCTION THE FOLLOWING WINTER 2016-2017 IT ONLY WORKED PART OF THE TIME. STARTING IN THE FALL OF 2017 MY HEAT WENT OUT COMPLETELY. WE TOOK IT IN TO HAVE THEM CHECK THE HEATER CORE, COME TO FIND OUT THAT SINCE THE HEATER CORE IS INSTALLED AT AN ANGLE IT DOESN'T DRAIN THE SLUDGE PROPERLY. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT MY AIR CONDITIONING WILL TURN ON AT RANDOM. I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHEN THIS STARTED, BUT IT WILL TURN ON BY ITSELF. JUST THIS MORNING 8/13/18 MY AIR TURNED ON 15 TIMES, AFTER BEING SHUT OFF EVERY TIME. I'M WONDERING IF THIS IS SOMETHING WRONG ELECTRONICALLY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION ON MY 2012 DODGE JOURNEY.

WOW!!!!!!!!!! IS ALL I CAN SAY, I CAN'T BELIEVE THE AMOUNT OF PROBLEMS THIS CAR HAS. WITH THAT BEING SAID I'M HOPING THAT SINCE I FINANCED THIS VEHICLE, THAT THE FINANCE COMPANY WILL HELP ME BECAUSE THIS DEALERSHIP "CLEARLY" SOLD ME A LEMON AND I'M SURE THEY KNOW IT IS. EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL IN MY 2012 JOURNEY STARTED SURGING TO THE POINT WHERE I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING DIE ON ME WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY HERE ON VANCOUVER ISLAND B.C. CANADA. I'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE PUSH BUTTON START ( SOMETIMES 4 ATTEMPTS TO START IT ARE NEEDED ) . I REALLY LOVE THE VEHICLE WITH THE COST TO REPAIR MODERN DAYS CARS, I THINK I WANT TO FIND A WAY TO RETURN IT ( IT'S ONLY BEEN 5 MONTHS SINCE I'VE HAD IT ) . THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT'S PROBABLY THE BATTERY AND OFFERED TO REPLACE IT SO ON THE 27TH OF THIS MONTH, I WILL TAKE IT TO THE DEALERS AND TRY TO RETURN IT ALL TOGETHER. NONE OF US SHOULD BE HAVING ISSUES LIKE THIS AND I'M REALLY DISAPPOINTED WITH DODGE AND HOW THEY'RE "NOT" DOING MUCH TO HELP ANYONE. SADLY THESE VEHICLES ARE "LEMONS" AND SHOULD ALL BE RECALLED AND JUNKED IMO. SORRY TO HEAR SO MANY OTHER'S HAVE PROBLEMS TOO , JUST KEEP YOUR ROADSIDE ASSIST UP TO DATE LOL CAUSE I FEEL WE'RE "ALL" GOING TO NEED IT EVENTUALLY AND WHO WANTS TO BE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE.

I WAS DRIVING ON VERY BUSY HIGHWAY I-270 IN COLUMBUS OHIO MY CAR STOP ON ME ON THE HIGHWAY THAT HAPPENS BACK IN 2/14/2018 I STARTED IT BACK KEEP GOING LUCKILY NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED THROUGH THAT WEEK CONTINUE DOING IT I TAKE TO SHOP GET IT FIXED.ON 7/3/2018 HE STARTED IT'S AGAIN AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR THAT AM PAYING FOR I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO HE COST MUCH LAST TIME I FIXED IT. HIS MAKING STRANGE NOISE FROM THE DASHBOARD OFTEN I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE NOISE IS COMING FROM AM REALLY SCARED TO PUT MY FAMILY IN ITS BECAUSE THAT OUR FAMILY CAR

MY DODGE WHILE RIDING RADIO COME ON GO OFF THE HEATER TURN ALL THE WAY UP AND IT WANT CRANK MOST TIME YOU GET READY TO GO IT JUST GOES HAYWIRE NOT DEPENDABLE BROUGHT A BATTERY THOUGHT THAT WAS THE PROBLEM BUT NOT

LAST WEEK I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND IT FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL AT A STOP SIGN. THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I STARTED DRIVING AGAIN. WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF. NO BRAKES, OR STEERING. I HAD 3 KIDS IN THE CAR 2 BEING TODDLERS. I WAS ABLE TO PUT IT INTO PARK AND START IT AGAIN TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED TO ME AND NOW I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT. AS FOR ELECTRICAL MY CAR RANDOMLY SOMETIMES JUST CHANGES RADIO STATIONS, U CONNECT DOESN'T WORK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED AND SHUT OFF. THE CONTACT ALSO INDICATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR DISPLAYED INACCURATE INFORMATION AND INDICATED THAT LESS FUEL WAS IN THE TANK THAN THE ACTUAL AMOUNT. THE FAILURES WERE NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 132,000.

THE POWER IN MY VEHICLE WENT OUT AND MY BREAKS LOCKED UP, THE CAR JUST DIES. NO HAZARDS OR ANYTHING. MY CAR STOPPED WHILE DRIVING DOWN A HEAVY TRAFFIC STREET. TWO CARS ALMOST HIT MY KIDS AND I. THE CAR DOES COME BACK ON A FEW SECONDS LATER OR SEVERAL MINUTES LATER. THE LONGEST TIME PERIOD WAS WHEN I GOT THE CAR TOWED TO A SHOP SATURDAY. ONCE, WE ARRIVED AT THE SHOP IT HAD COME BACK ON. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME AND I FEAR EVEN AFTER WE GET IT FROM THE SHOP IT WILL NOT BE THE LAST.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY THE CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC WHILE ACCELERATING. THE VEHICLE HAD NO INDICATION/WARNING OF ITS SHUT OFF. I HAD MY CHILD IN THE VEHICLE AND COULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I TRIED STARTING THE VEHICLE AGAIN AND IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER. VEHICLE HAS HAD ALL REQUIRED/RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE. VEHICLE HAS 140000 MILES. UNKNOWN OF THE CAUSE OF THE SHUT OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ACTIVATED, THE VEHICLE LIGHTING SUDDENLY ILLUMINATED, AND A BURNING ODOR WAS PRESENT. THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (SIMI VALLEY DODGE LOCATED IN SIMI VALLEY, CA) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A WIRE HARNESS CAUGHT ON FIRE AND MELTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,000. ...UPDATED 11/15/17 *BF UPDATED 9/7/18*JB

WHILE DRIVING ON PUBLIC HIGHWAY THE ENGINE STALLED, STEERING LOCKED AND HAD TO COAST TO A SAFE SPOT. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. 1ST TIME MARCH 2016 MILEAGE 94470, 2ND TIME END OF OCTOBER 2016, CURRENT TIME AUGUST 2017. EACH TIME THE COMPUTER TELLS THE DEALERSHIP IT IS THE CRANK SENSOR WHICH WE REPLACE. THIS IS VERY SCARY AND MY DAUGHTER IS AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. WE HAVE BEEN LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD SO FAR, BUT ARE AFRAID OF IT HAPPENING AGAIN AND BEING IN AN ACCIDENT. WONDERING IF DODGE IS GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS SINCE I SEE MANY OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS POSTED.

MY JOURNEY DOESN'T WANT TO START. ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC IT'S THE MODULE THAT DOESN'T READ THE KEY. WE HAD OUR FAMILY VACATION IN BAJA CALIFORNIA AND WE WERE STRANDED THERE BECAUSE MY 2012 DODGE JOURNEY WOULDN'T START.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR SUDDENLY LOSSES POWER AND THE STABILITY LIGHTS AND ABS LIGHTS ALL FLASH. THIS OCCURS WHILE DRIVING ON THE CITY STREET AND HIGHWAY AND TURNING. THE SHOP SAYS THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING IT. THERE ARE LOTS OF CUSTOMERS ON THE INTERNET WITH THE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEMS. THIS DOES NOT OCCUR WHILE SITTING STILL ONLY IN MOTION. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AND WHEN WE CHECK FOR CODES ALL IT SAYS IF ENGINE MISFIRE EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE STABILITY LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT ON.

AM DRIVING DODGE JOURNEY 2012.INITIALLY THE ISSUE WAS INTERMITTENT BUT IT IS PERMANENT NOW. ALL FOUR SWITCHES ARE NOT WORKING. WHEN I PRESS THE SWITCH IT GENERATES CONTINUOUS CLICKING SOUND.

TAMARA RECALL- MY VEHICLE ISN'T LISTED ON THE RECALL, HOWEVER, MY AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND DINGS CONSTANTLY. IT IS WHEN NO ONE IS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND WHEN THERE IS A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN WHEN TURNING CORNERS OR WHEN BACKING UP. ALSO, MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS MESSED UP AS WELL. SOMETIMES MY CHARGING OUTLETS WORK AND SOMETIMES THEY DON'T. THIS BEGAN TO OCCUR AFTER MY MOTOR WAS REPLACED AT 17,000 MILES BY THE DODGE DEALER BECAUSE IT HAD A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THERE WERE HOLES IN THE METAL OF THE MOTOR AND OIL WAS SEEPING OUT OF IT. NOW I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER, THE RADIO, ALL CHARGING PORTS, THE CRUISE CONTROL, AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMING ON RANDOMLY. THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER ALWAYS SAYS EVERYTHING IS FINE WHEN I TAKE IT IN, BECAUSE THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM WHEN IT IS IN THE SHOP.

DODGE RECALL 2011-2015 2012 DODGE JOURNEY PURCHASED MARCH 25 2017 - TOTAL LOSS AS OF APRIL 24TH 2017 ENGINE BLEW DURING A REVERSE

THE POWER ADAPTERS IN THE CENTER CONSOLE HAVE SHORTED OUT THE AUX PORT WORK THE USB AND OTHER PORTS AND LIGHTS DO NOT. ALSO THE SYNC CLIMATE CONTROL WILL UN-SYNC WITH OUT BEING TOUCHED IN THE REAR OR FRONT OF THE CAR.

ALTERNATOR IS DEFECTIVE RUINING BOTH THE BATTER AND HAVING TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY MULTIPLE TIMES. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE ALREADY IN JANUARY 2014 AND APRIL 2015. AND AGAIN NOW MARCH 2017. ON A ROAD TRIP MY WIFE AND KIDS WENT ON IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND ALMOST CONTROL. SHE WAS ABLE TO PULL IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. SHE TURNED THE CAR OFF COMPLETELY THEN TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT STARTED. THE DROVE ANOTHER HOUR AND THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON SHORTLY AFTER THE VEHICLE POWERED OFF AGAIN. SHE THE CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND THEY BROUGHT IT HOME. WE HAD TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY. THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM AS TO NOT GET STRANDED AND ONCE AGAIN REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY. THE AUTO PARTS GUY INSURED ME THAT THEY HAD FIXED THE PROBLEM WITH THE NEW ALTERNATORS. CLEARLY NOT. WE JUST FINISHED OUT 3RD REPLACEMENT OF BOTH ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY AFTER A LONG ROAD TRIP WE HAD TO BUY A BATTERY IN THE MIDDLE OF TO GET HOME. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSE. I SPOKE WITH THE DODGE DEALERSHIP ORIGINALLY AND THEY WERE NO HELP AND SAID THEY WOULD HAVE JUST REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY AS WELL. ## VIN PASSED ## DODGE JOURNEY 2012 ##

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, THE HEADLAMPS FAILED TO REMAIN ILLUMINATED. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, THE "NO KEY CONNECTION" WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE HAZARD LIGHTS FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE RESULTS OF THE DIAGNOSTIC WERE UNKNOWN. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INFORMED AS TO WHAT CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED TWO DAYS AFTER THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 107,000.

FOR THE LAST FOUR WEEKS MY VEHICLE JUST STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AND SHUTS OFF THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS AND THE CAR IS NOT MOVABLE FOR WELL OVER A FEW MINUTES. HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO BE CHECKED AND IT CLAIMS TO BE NOTHING BUT YET THE SAME PROBLEM PERSIST PLEASE ADVISE ME ON WHAT I SHOULD DO, THE VEHICLE IS AT 90,000 MILES AND I WANT TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM PLEASE AND TY IN ADVANCE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS MOVED FORWARD AND/OR BACKWARDS, THE AIR BAG LIGHT TURNED ON AND OFF AND THEN REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE "B1C4E PASSENGER POSITIONER OPEN CIRCUIT "DID NOT SEND THE SIGNAL TO INFLATE OR TO ACTIVATE IN CASE OF A CRASH". THE PASSENGER SIDE WIRING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,900.

THE UCONNECT TOUCH SCREEN SYSTEM WENT BLANK AND THE UCONNECT TOUCH HAND CONTROLS ALONG WITH THE SWITCH BANK CONTROLS STOPPED WORKING. THIS MEANS NO HEAT OR AC CONTROL AND NO RADIO/VOLUME CONTROL. EVEN THOUGH THIS HAPPENED IN MID SUMMER, IF IT HAD HAPPENED IN WINTER, THERE IS NO CONTROL OF DEFROST SYSTEM AND A POTENTIAL DRIVING HAZARD. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAULTY TELEMATICS GATEWAY MODULE AND THE WHOLE RADIO SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE REMOVED TO REPLACE IT. COST $800 TO FIX!

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.

WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND RADIO AND HEATER WENT OFF. SHE TOOK IT TO OREILLYS AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE ALTENATOR. I REPLACED THE ALTENATOR AND THE HEATER OR DEFROSTER STILL WILL NOT WORK AND THE BATTERY LIGHT IS STILL ON. WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE COMPUTER WITH THIS CAR. THE TURN SIGNALS WERE NOT WORKING CORRECTLY WHEN YOU TURNED ON THE LEFT SIGNAL THE RIGHT SIGNAL WOULD COME ON. REALLY DISSAPOINTED IN THIS CAR AT THIS TIME AND DODGE

ON NOVEMBER 11,2015, WE WERE TRAVELING FROM HOME TO A DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT FOR A SURGICAL PROCEDURE. WE WERE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE 65, IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, GOING AROUND 70 MPH WHEN VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED, ENGINE MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON, AND VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER. WE WERE IN THE RIGHT LANE AND ABLE TO COAST OFF THE HIGHWAY AND AVOID BEING HIT. VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP THAT SOLD IT. THEY WERE ABLE TO CRANK THE VEHICLE AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. BECAUSE OF SAFETY CONCERNS WE PUSHED THEM TO CHECK FURTHER AND THEY THEN SAID THERE WERE A COUPLE OF SENSORS THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED (CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR & CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR). WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING THOSE. THE VEHICLE IS A FAMILY VEHICLE THAT IS USED REGULARLY TO TRANSPORT CHILDREN AND OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS. THERE IS A DEFINITE SAFETY CONCERN WITH A VEHICLE THAT WOULD SUDDENLY LOSE POWER, WITH NO WARNING, AND COULD LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. DODGE SHOULD RECALL UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED.

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,000.

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.

DRIVING TYPICALLY LESS THAN 25 MPH AND CAR SHUTS DOWN. WHICH MAKES ME HAVE TO BRAKE, PLACE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND START AGAIN THEN SWITCH TO DRIVE. I TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP AND BECAUSE IT DIDN'T SHOW ON THE ELECTRICAL TESTER THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUES SHUTTING OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR.

MY RADIO WILL NOT CHANGE STATIONS OR INPUTS FROM SATELLITE,AM,FM,OR CD. SOMETIMES IT WILL TURN ALL THE WAY UP AND I AM UNABLE TO TURN IT DOWN OR OFF OR ANYTHING. I'VE EVEN PULLED THE CAR OVER AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF BUT, WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON THE VOLUME REMAINED UP AND I HAD TO DRIVE HOME VERY DISTRACTED. THE WORST PART IS THAT IT WILL JUMP STATIONS AT THIS LOUD VOLUME AND NOTHING CAN BE DONE TO FIX IT. EVERYTIME I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAY THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIND ANY PROBLEM..

STUCK IN THE MIDDLE ON NOWHERE TWICE WITH 2 YOUNG CHILDREN! STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS ON THE HIGHWAY ON MY WAY HOME. STARTED FINE IN THE AM BEFORE LEAVING FAMILIES HOUSE.

2012 DODGE JOURNEY HERO AWD HATCHBACK SHOWED A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THEN LOST ALL POWER AND BLACKED OUT. BATTERY WAS REPLACED, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AGAIN CAME ON AND IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS BLACKED OUT (ZERO POWER) AGAIN. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DODGE AND DURING A 2 WEEK PERIOD IN THE SHOP THE ALTERNATOR, BATTERY, TWO O2 SENSORS AND THE PCM WERE REPLACED IN AN ATTEMPT TO FIX THE ISSUE CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT.

THE 2012 JOURNEY WAS BEING USED TO JUMPSTART A 1997 F 350 FORD TRUCK. THE F 350 WAS NOT RUNNING WHILE THE JOURNEY WAS. JUMPER CABLES WERE ATTACHED CORRECTLY. THE WOMEN JUMPING THE CAR WENT INTO THE HOUSE FOR A MOMENT WHEN SHE HEARD AN EXPLOSION AND THE ROAR OF THE FIRE. THE ENTIRE FRONT OF THE CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THE WINDSHIELD WAS BLOW OUT AND FLAMES REACHED 12 FEET INTO THE AIR. AFTER THE FIRE TRUCK PUT OUT THE BLAZE, THE HOOD HAD VAPORIZED . THE CAR WAS REPORTED AS A TOTAL LOSS BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE HEAT FROM THE FIRE WAS SO INTENSE IT IGNITED THE F 350. IT TOO WAS DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS. I DO NOT KNOW THE CAUSE OF THE EXPLOSION IN THE JOURNEY. THE FIRE CAPTAINS REPORT STATES THE ORIGIN OF THE FIRE WAS THE 2012 DODGE JOURNEY. I BELIEVE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE. I ALSO BELIEVE THAT SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH WOULD OCCUR IF A PERSON IS NEARBY OR SITTING IN THE VEHICLE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY DASHBOARD STARTED TO FLICKER. I COULDN'T INCREASE MY SPEED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. MY CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN ON ITS OWN ACCORD. I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK. I WAS ABLE TO SHUT THE ENGINE OFF, BUT UNABLE TO TURN THE ACCESSORIES OFF. MY RADIO REMAINED ON ALONG WITH THE DASHBOARD.I WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE IGNITION. I CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK AND MY CAR WAS BROUGHT TO THE ORIGINAL DEALER, CORTESE CHRYSLER/DODGE. THE NEXT DAY THEY REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR FREE OF CHARGE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN WHEN MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR

MY 2012 DODGE JOURNEY REAR WINDSHIELD WIPER IS ACTING UP. IT WON'T START UNLESS THE WIPER SWITCH IS OFF AND THE CAR IS IN REVERSE. IT WILL NOT WORK IF I HAVE THE SWITCH ON. ALSO, I HAVE ONE TAIL LIGHT THAT'S BOTHERSOME. IF I OPEN ANY OF MY DOORS, ALL OF THE TAIL LIGHTS WORK. WHEN I TURN MY LIGHTS ON, ONE OF MY TAIL LIGHTS APPEARS TO BE OUT ALONG WITH MY LICENSE PLATE LIGHTS. I'M NOT SURE WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THESE PROBLEMS. *TR
