Car Stall problems of the 2010 Dodge Journey - part 1

Vehicle keeps randomly stalling while driving. Vehicle will shut off and I have to turn the ignition off completely then let it sit to restart. Sometimes I have to put vehicle in neutral to get it to start. Had battery, fuel, spark plugs, alternator checked and they are working fine. Random lights keep flickering on the dash. This must be an electrical issue. Please issue a recall!!!! several other owners with the same make and model have complained about the exact same issue.

Horn blew intermittently at first when shutting doors, and occasionally for no reason. Windows would go down part way when doors were shut. Ignition would sometimes just click click when key is turned, wipers would move when not engaged to be on. Battery would go complexly dead for no reason and then be ok for a month or two and then do it again. Had to disconnect the horn a few years ago as it would not stop going off. Has been in to kayer Chrysler, Dodge service several times and they could not find issue. They just called and said they founsd. Short in the main electrical component and it will cost $1100plus for part and up to $200 to install. We have had these issues since we bought it. Oh yeh heat and air on passenger side quit working a few winters ago, and the doors fill with water in every rain storm. Park on a hill after a rain and doors will drain for hours. We have friends that have bought Journeys and say they have no problems really. Can't believe there s not a recall for such a mess. Oh yes and occasionally it will not shift all gears and I need to pull ver on highway, turn off ignition and restart and it usually works. Wish I weren't retired on limited income, I would get rid of it before I get killed. Iyt only has 1000,000 miles. Hopefully it matures soon,1.

When I turned off the engine and removed the key and stepped outside the vehicle I noticed the engine was still running. Engine continued to run for 45 minutes to an hour. When I reentered vehicle to try the key again it would not shut off and was unable to shift the gear lever. The vehicle was at a clients location so I drove it home and parked it in the driveway where it continued to run for about an hour when I removed the key. I had the vehicle towed to premier of cape cod the only Dodge dealer on cape cod. I was told it was an electronic computer module. To replace the module with 2 new keys the cost would be $1,038. 00 installed. I submitted a safety claim with the Chrysler/Dodge regional office and was denied. I was offered a year of free oil changes and no reimbursement as vehicle warranty was over. The vehicle was a 2010 with 74,470 miles. My concern is that this could very well been a safety issue as vehicle kept running and could not be secured. It seems to me that this should have been issued a recall as upon investigating further this model and year had a history of this issue. A $1,038. 00 repair for a computer module is not your average issue/repair.

I brought my 2010 Dodge Journey in 2012, about a year later, the care started to stall when on starting. Naturally, we thought is was the battery, so went to the Dodge dealer and they agreed. Two week later, the care would not start after my sons baseball came. Someone gave me a jump, so I thought that I got a bad battery. Towed car to shop and I was told that the starter was bad. So approximately. $250. 00 later I have a new battery. The care continues to not start. The Dodge Journey is the most unreliable car I have every had. It is now sitting in my garage, because I was driving and the car ran hot and will not go more than 30 miles per hour. I have a car not and cannot afford to get fixed. I am told that something may be wrong with the transmission, but only dealer can work on this since the transmission is buried under everything. I am frustrated and broke and still having to pay a care note!.

I was struck on the left front by a 1997 Dodge stratus occupied by 5 teenage boys. The damage was bumper and left fender (insurance estimate about $3,000. But the battery was placed on top of the engine by the manufacturer. The battery was the original battery installed on car. No engine repair had been done on the vehicle. The battery exploded and the engine was covered by battery acid which destroyed all the wiring in the engine. Battery acid also went down the driver's side of the car destroying paint and eating into metal. Two adjusters examined the car as the insurance was amazed at amount of destruction. They each stopped at $11,000 damage and totaled the car. I was told that had any glass been broken and I got battery acid on my body, the damage would have been severe. A mechanic at the scene said the battery placement was very dangerous as was said by insurance adjusters and repair service where the car was towed. I called the dealership and Dodge itself and reported the problem. They both said they never had heard of any problem. I walked away unhurt but could have driven the car for the rest of my life (I'm 73) had the battery been placed in a different spot in the engine. I believe this battery placement to be very dangerous and am concerned for others who might have an accident in a car like mine.
