• 12/31/2018· STEERING

  MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING STEERING ISSUES. THE STEERING WHEEL IS VERY HARD TO TURN AND SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE IT'S LOCKED AND IT WON'T TURN AT ALL. IT HAPPENS WHEN PULLING OUT OF PARKING SPACE AND TURNING (ESPECIALLY SHARP TURNS) AT LOW SPEED. THIS ISSUE STARTED WHEN THE WEATHER IS COLD.

• 12/31/2018· STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  REPEATED SYSTEM LOW VOLTAGE ISSUES, VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING - DOES NOT MATTER THE SPEED - IT HAS DONE IT AT 50 - 60 MILES A HOUR RENDERING POWER BRAKES AND STEERING USELESS. STALLS AT RED LIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS WHILE MOVING OR STILL. IT IS WORSE DURING COLD AND RAINY CONDITIONS. VEHICLE WILL EVENTUALLY START BACK UP AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES OF BEING STRANDED. YESTERDAY DURING POURING DOWN RAIN AND COLD IT STALLED AT A BUSY INTERSECTION REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO START UNSUCCESSFUL FINALLY AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES OF BLOCKING TRAFFIC IN THE INTERSECTION IT FINALLY STARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO MOVE OUT OF THE INTERSECTION. ERROR CODES READ P0562 SYSTEM VOLTAGE LOW AND P0335 CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR A CIRCUIT. THERE IS A RECALL ON 2016 DODGE JOURNEY FOR THE CRANKSHAFT CAMSHAFT SENSOR WIRE HARNESS BUT NOT THE 2015. BEST I CAN TELL THE INTERNET IS RIDDLED WITH NUMEROUS DODGE JOURNEY'S WITH THESE SYMPTOMS! SOMEONE NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AND FIX IT FOR US! THE EXPENSE THAT CONSUMERS ARE ENCOUNTERING IS UNACCEPTABLE ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY ARE NOT RESOLVING THE ISSUES. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND THE LIABILITY THAT DODGE WILL HAVE SHOULD CONSUMERS CONTINUE TO BE HURT BECAUSE THIS CONTINUED ISSUE WILL BE BAD SHOULD CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT COME BECAUSE OF THIS.

  The ABS light and Check engine light came on and dash began flickering. Vehicle also experienced sputtering issues and hesitation on acceleration. Vehicle was inspected by an independent technician who recommended taking it to a dealership for an ABS Module. The Vehicle was taken to the dealership and dealership determined that an ABS control and ABS module were needed. Parts were ordered, however, after contacting Chrysler customer care I learned that the ABS module is back ordered and on hold for engineer review. According to the representative I spoke to, folks have been waiting months for this part and it has been a high volume part order. The part number is 68164594AA. According to the rep, the part may take until April to arrive. If this is true it sounds like a significant number of people may be having a serious issue with their Dodge vehicle ABS module.

After spending thousands of dollars at the local Dodge dealership(s) and mechanics, I now have a car that is unsafe to drive due to known issues with the 3.6 Pentastar engine. This engine was recalled by Chrysler for years prior to my 2015 year. However, the Dodge cars like my Journey are experiencing the very same problems. I have reached out to my state of consumer department in Georgia. They have referred me to NHTSA as they have declared it a safety issue which outside of their scope.

  The differential and the viscous coupler is what I'm having to replace now cause it is bad. The car is not that old and I'm going to have to spend around $3,500 to fix both of these parts. We could have been killed if we were driving the car, it would have locked up and caused an accident. Yes, the dealer said that it could lock up on us and damage other parts causing an accident. No, it hasn't been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others. No, there were not signs and warnings lamps prior to the failure. We took it to the dealer on November 18th and have yet to get it back. We called Chrysler and opened a case. They told us that the only thing they could do is to expedite the part and the dealer has the other one. Chrysler is expediting the differential, the dealer was to get the part on December 9th. The part still isn't here. I have called Chrysler several times and nothing is being done. Today I called and Chrysler is blaming the dealer for telling them they got the part when they didn't get it. Then, Chrysler was trying to blame the shipping carrier with is UPS. I think these parts the differential and the viscous coupler should be recall before someone get killed. Chrysler has known about these parts since 2013 and they haven't done anything about it.

  I am driving a 2015 Dodge Journey. Randomly, the airbag light came on, followed by loss of all electronics on the steering wheel. The horn will not work, nor any of the switches on the steering wheel. I did find that this is a common issue with Dodge Vehicles under recall 18V332000 AND 17V432000. I was told at the dealership that my specific dodge journey did not group into that recall however is experiencing those same issues. I am unsure if the airbag will even deploy in this state, coupled with the failure of the horn, this vehicle is not safe to drive.

  Vehicle has P0740 code of which is a recall on the transmission pump. The recall is S 44 however my vin does not apply even though it’s the same make,model,year, engine and drivetrain as the recall. Please include my Vin number in the recall because the vehicle stalls/ hesitate when the gas pedal is applied and the transmission is trying to downshift when speeding up to change lanes. The situation is dangerous because the driver can lose control of the vehicle when planning to execute and not get a response from the vehicle when accelerating or changing lanes. The problem is more of a 2 to 3 second hiccup and the vehicle seems confused. Include this vehicle and my Vin number in the S 44 recall of which my dealership has stated it should’ve been included with the rest of the 2015 and 2016 caravan, dodge journey recalls. Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Grand Caravan vehicles manufactured July 31, 2015, to April 18, 2016, 2016 Dodge Journey vehicles manufactured August 17, 2015, to January 29, 2016, and 2016 RAM ProMaster vehicles manufactured August 15, 2016, to April 15, 2016.

  Driving back home on Dec-08-2021; about 2 miles from home I started hearing gear whine noise, only got louder. Pulled over about half mile from home, walked around the car to see if something was stuck underbody. After that, the vehicle would not engage gear when I put it in D or R. I had to press gas hard for the gear to engage, but the car unpredictably engage and would lurch forward and lose gear again. Kept doing that for until I got home.

  The Anti-Locking Braking System, Electronic Stability Control & Braking warning lights stay on all the time. I have absolutely no traction at anytime. The worse incident occurred when I was headed down a mountain and it had just started to rain. I could not slow the car down. I started at 35 MPH at the top of the mountain and was at 60 MPH by time I got at the bottom of it. Every time I barely touched the brakes the car started fishtailing. I notice the no traction mainly when there are wet roads. I can tell I have not traction at times even on dry roads but lots worse when they are wet. I have noticed in many searches that the ABS/ESC being disabled is a common recall for the 2015 Dodge Journey; however, when I enter my VIN number to my car it states it is not included in this recall. I would like to know how recalls work and why my car would not be included. I have been watchin recalls hoping that my car would be included because I am still making payments on this vehicle and do not have money to fix this issue. This is my main means of travel and I am extremely nervous driving with no traction. I'm considering getting rid of this vehicle because I do not feel it is safe to drive.
