Vehicle intermittently won't start at any given time when turning the ignition on it will just click. It may start up after 10 min 2hrs maybe not until the next day. My wife and I have been going through this since we brought this 2009 Dodge Journey new. We took it back to the dealer troy motor mall they could not pinpoint the problem and they charged us. Same problem later nothing changed. Did not start recently first week in October aaa tow truck came and the driver heard the clicking sound and indicated that it was the starter. I took the car in for repair that next week and had the starter replaced and in a few days it was not starting again. I went to the Dodge dealer today and I explained to them what I had been going through all of this time and he still indicated that it would be a $100. 00 to diagnose the problem. I looked up this issue on carcomplaints. Com and a person with the same issue indicated that their mechanic found it to be a faulty range sensor attached to the transmission complaint #143 under 2009 Dodge Journey won't turn over, engine won't start. There were quite a few other complaints concerning this same issue that's why it's hard for me to understand why there is no recall concerning this matter. When ever I get it fixed I'd like to be reimbursed by Chrysler Dodge.

The vehicle would'nt start was just making a clicking sound. Had it towed to the dealer and they said it was the battery . Replaced the battery drove home a week later same thing happend vechile wouldnt start had it towed back to the dealer where is resides now they stated its the tipm module they wanted $1,500 for the parts and labor I just bought this vechile from them in July 2014. They also stated they did'nt know when the part would come in since its on back order.

I noticed over the weekend that the car started making a weird ticking noise. Also when put into reverse it seemed like it wanted to stall sometimes. I was driving to work and it started to buck and sputter. I was able to get it pulled over and there was smoke coming from under the hood. I had it towed to a garage where it was diagnosed with a cracked transfer case which came with a $2400 estimate! after doing a little research it sounds like this is a typical problem with this model and year and found many accounts on Dodgejourneyforum. Com. Sounds like a recall needs to happen before someone gets hurt if it hasn't happened already!.

While driving to work the engine started making a clunking noise I stopped and checked under the hood the oil was very low it was not ready for an oil change yet and no lights came on I parked it and called to have it towed, the dealer says it is not covered under the factory warranty because it does not transfer from the original owner I bought it used, there is absolutely no reason for this to happen on a newer lower mileage car and to not have Chrysler stand behind it is unheard of. I have completed all required maintenance on a timely basis.
