  WHILE UNDER WARRANTY THE REAR PASSENGER AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK STOPPED WORKING AND IT WAS REPLACED. AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED THE PASSENGER AUTOMATIC FRONT DOOR LOCK STOPPED WORKING AND I PAID TO HAVE A NEW ONE INSTALLED. NOW THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK HAS STOPPED WORKING. WHEN THEY STOP WORKING THEY WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK USING THE KEY FOB OR THE BUTTONS INSIDE THE CAR. EACH TIME THIS OCCURS THE ACTUATOR HAS TO BE REPLACED. SINCE KEEPING THE DOORS SECURELY CLOSED DURING A CRASH IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.

  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)

• 12/02/2018· SERVICE BRAKES

  PROBLEM BEGAN WITH BRAKE WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT COMING ON, SEEMINGLY AT RANDOM. BRAKES STILL SEEMED TO BE WORKING NORMALLY. THEN BRAKES STARTED FAILING TO CATCH WHILE DRIVING. REGARDLESS OF VEHICLE SPEED, 10 MPH OR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, BRAKE PEDAL WOULD GO ALMOST TO FLOOR AND YOU WOULD HAVE TO PUMP IT SEVERAL TIMES TO GET THE BRAKE TO ENGAGE. TOOK IT IN TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC AND FOUND THAT FLUID WAS LEAKING INTO DRIVER'S SIDE INTERIOR, DIAGNOSED A FAULTY MASTER CYLINDER AND BOOSTER. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP. THEY SERVICED ALL OUTSTANDING RECALLS. THEY REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER AND BOOSTER AT A COST OF $982 TO US. BRAKES WORKED FINE FOR THREE WEEKS THEN PROBLEM STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN BUT THIS TIME BRAKE WARNING LIGHT IS NOT ILLUMINATED. JUST AS BEFORE, SOMETIMES THE BRAKES WORK NORMALLY, OTHER TIMES THE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR AND YOU HAVE TO PUMP THE BRAKE PEDAL UNTIL IT 'CATCHES'. TAKING IT BACK IN TO DEALER - THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM, NOT KNOWING IF THE CAR IS GOING TO STOP OR NOT. JUDGING BY THE NUMBER OF REPORTS FROM MOTORISTS AND MECHANICS ON VARIOUS WEBSITES, THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A KNOWN ISSUE WITH 2013 DODGE JOURNEY VEHICLES.

• 11/16/2022· POWER TRAIN

  In the past 3 years I have had my transmission go out on my vehicle 3 times. All 3 times I was driving when it happened and my car just stopped shifting or would not shift past 2nd gear. I have spoken to numerous mechanics about this issue, and every single one has told me that is a know issue with my specific type of dodge. It is an extreme safety issue to be getting on the freeway and have your transmission suddenly stop working. It is also ridiculous that consumers should have to come out of pocket 5K every 20,000 miles or so to fix or replace a defective transmission that dodge refuses to deal with. I contacted Dodge customer service to try and get my transmission fixed and was told that since they have not recalled it, they will not help me cover the cost. What I don't understand is why they have not issued a recall. If dodge service centers know about the issue, then dodge corporation should, and they should have dealt with this year's ago. I have documentation of the first 2 repairs, and an estimate for this latest one but can not include them from the device I am on.

• 11/15/2023· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE

  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.

  I HAVE HAD PROBLEM WITH DODGE JOURNEY NOT STARTING. I'VE SPENT MONEY ON EMERGENCY ROAD SERVICE JUMP STARTS, ALONG WITH NEW BATTERY, BUT PROBLEM PERSISTS AND THE SERVICE GARAGE CAN'T GET IT TO CONSISTENTLY START AS ALL CARS SHOULD! WINTER HAS COME EARLY AND I FEAR BEING STRANDED IN FREEZING TEMPERATURES. ALSO BIG INCONVENIENCE. I'VE DRIVEN FOR OVER 40 YEARS AND FEEL I BOT AND PAID FOR A RELIABLE CAR, BUT HAVE NOT GOTTEN WHAT I PAID FOR. DODGE HAS MY MONEY AND I HAVE THEIR JUNK. I HOPE MY LITTLE GRANDCHILDREN ARE NOT WITH ME WHEN THE CAR WON'T START! SO FAR THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED WHEN I LEAVING HOME. I CAN'T SEEM TO GET ANSWERS FROM THE SERVICE GARAGE WITHOUT POURING MORE MONEY INTO IT AND STILL NO RESOLUTION!

  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.

MY HEAD WAS THRUST FORWARD IN A DOWNWARD FASHION. I INITIALLY THOUGHT I WAS REAR-ENDED, BUT REALIZED THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS AROUND ME. IT WAS VERY FRIGHTENING TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE APPROXIMATELY 56,000 MILES ON MY CAR. I AM THE ONLY DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE AND DO NOT TRANSPORT CHILDREN. THERE WAS NO ABUSE/NEGLECT ON MY PART THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED OR CONTRIBUTED TO THIS SITUATION. MY NECK IS A LITTLE SORE, BUT I SUFFERED NO SERIOUS INJURY. I DO NOT FEEL IT IS SAFE TO HAVE MY SISTER IN MY CAR BECAUSE SHE HAS HAD A PREVIOUS NECK SURGERY. IF IT HAD HAPPENED TO HER, I DO NOT BELIEVE SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN AS LUCKY. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DEFECT.
