ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TRANSFER CASE IS GOING OUT, AND VEHICLE WILL STALL AND NOT START AGAIN FOR A WHILE. VEHICLE WOULD NOT EVEN BACKUP, HAD TO CALL A TOLL TRUCK.
NHTSA complaint #11203413 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
HORN HONKS RANDOMLY BY ITSELF. PARKED, MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, OR DRIVING THIS IS DANGEROUS DISTRACTING FOR ME AND OTHER DRIVERS. SCARY STARTLES ME AND FREAKS MY NEIGHBORS OUT! DRAINING MY BATTERY TOO. ALSO A CLICKING SOUND WHEN NOTHING ON. I GOOGLED IT AND WAS SHOCKED TO FIND HUNDREDS OF OTHERS COMPLAINTS. I CALLED CRYSLER THEY SAID TO MAKE A COMPLAINT HERE AND IF ENOUGH COMPLAINTS A RECALL WILL BE ISSUED. I SURE HOPE NO ONE GETS HURT OR DIES WAITING FOR THE MANUFACTURER TO CORRECT THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THEY CLEARLY KNOW ABOUT BUT WILL NOT ADDRESS UNLESS THEY ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO. WHAT A SHAME CONSUMERS PAY GOOD MONEY FOR SUCH POOR SERVICE. I KNEW I SHOULD HAVE STAYED WITH A GMC!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, THE HORN BLOWS LIKE YOU ARE HOLDING THE HORRN DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES N TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY. IT ALSO HAS HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. WHILE WE WERE SLEEPING. WE THOUGHT SOMEONE WAS STEALING IT. AT LEAST 4 TIMES IT WENT OFF. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP IN OCT. 2017 THEY TOOK OUT THE HORN FUSES. BECAUSE IT BLOWED ALL NIGHT AND IT KILLED THE BATTERY. THEY CALLED IT THE GHOST HORN. SO I'M DRIVING AROUND NOW IN THIS VEHICLE WITHOUT A HORN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2009 DODGE JOURNEY VEHICLE IS POSSESSED AS IT SOMETIMES LEAVES US STRANDED AFTER RUNNING OUT ON A SHORT ERRAND, SO AFTER STOPPING AND PARKING THE VEHICLE FOR SHORT PERIOD OF TIME THEN IT WILL NOT START. WE'VE TRIED TO ELECTRICALLY JUMP THE BATTERY BUT THIS HAS NO EFFECT. IT SEEMS IF YOU GIVE IT SOME TIME, PERHAPS TO COOL OFF LIKE 30 MINUTES THE CAR WILL START AGAIN. WE'VE REPLACED THE BATTERY THREE (3) TIMES IN THE PAST 18 MONTHS BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. THE ELECTRICAL POWER WINDOWS WILL NOT OPEN BUT THEN THEY DO. THE FOBIX KEY'S KEYLESS ENTRY DOES NOT WORK SOMETIMES, THE PARKING LIGHTS ARE FOUND ON WHEN EVERYTHING IS OFF. THE WIRELESS IGNITION NODE AND IT'S MATCHING FOBIX KEYS HAVE BEEN REPLACED THREE TIME TO NO AVAIL.

2009 DODGE JOURNEY HAS A RECALL ( L25) ON THE WIN MODULE DETENT RING , THIS VEHICLE WAS SOLD TO ME BY A DEALERSHIP IN 2012 WITH NOTHING SHOWING ON THE CAR FAX OF THIS RECALL. THE RECALL CAUSE THE KEY TO SLIP FROM THE IGNITION AND COMPLETELY SHUTTING THE CAR DOWN WHILE MOVING. THE KEY INADVERTENTLY MOVES AND THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN , DEPOWERING THE AIR BAGS, POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKING. WHEN INITIALLY CALLING IN THE COMPLAINT , CHRYSLER/ DODGE EXPLAINED THAT THERE IS NO FIX OR PART YET AVAILABLE. I FURTHER EXPLAINED AS A SINGLE MOTHER THIS WAS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD , BECAUSE IN MULTIPLE OCCASIONS I HAVE BEEN ON A FREEWAY OR STREET AND ALMOST ROLLED INTO ANOTHER CAR , ROLLING DOWN BACKWARDS ON A FREEWAY RAMP UNABLE TO BRAKE OR TELEPHONE POLE. DODGE/CHRYSLER STATED I WOULD JUST HAVE TO WAIT OR TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP FOR A TEMPORARY FIX.( THIS SAME TEMPORARY FIX IS NOTED IN THE DODGE DEALER SYSTEM NOT TO PUT IN THE NEWER YEAR PARTS INTO AN OLDER MODEL CAR ) AFTER CALLING AND GOING UP TO THEIR RECOMMENDED DEALERSHIPS FOR DODGE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATES THEY HAVE THEIR HANDS TIED BECAUSE THERE IS STILL NO PART AVAILABLE FOR THE YEAR OF MY CAR. THEY ALSO STATED I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET ALMOST 700 DOLLARS FOR A TEMP FIX USING A NEWER MODEL CAR THAT MAY OR MAY NOT FIX IT . I AM COMPLETELY TERRIFIED TO DRIVE MY CAR THAT I HAVE TO CONTINUE TO PAY ON AND DODGE/CHRYSLER IS COMPLETELY BRUSHING OFF THE ISSUE. GOD FORBID IF WE ARE HARMED OR EVENTUALLY IN AN ACCIDENT WAITING 3 YEARS LATER FOR A REPAIR FOR THIS VEHICLE PART.

I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR IN JULY 2014 USED WITH 56,000 MILES ON IT. AND I ALREADY HAD IT IN THE SHOP JUST IN THE BEGINNING OF AUGUST BECAUSE THERE WAS A KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. IT SOUNDED LIKE A NORMAL "MORNING KNOCK" BUT IT WAS ALWAYS THERE AND WHEN YOU DROVE IT SOUNDED WORSE. I HAVE NOT STARTED MY CAR ALL DAY TODAY, THEN WHEN I WENT TO GO SOMEWHERE I TRIED TO START MY CAR AND IT JUST GAVE ME TICK NOISES IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER. I KNOW THE BATTERY WASN'T DEAD BECAUSE THE CAR DOOR WAS OPEN AND THERE WAS THE DING NOISES AND THE LIGHTS WERE ALL ON IN THE CAR WHEN THE DOORS WERE OPEN. NOW I HAVE GOTTEN THE VEHICLE TO TURN OVER, BUT WITH A 1 YEAR OLD I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE MY ALMOST NEW CAR! I NEED SOMETHING FIXED.
