general problems of the 2010 Dodge Journey - part 1

It all started with no starts and had starter replaced and then charging problem had new battery and alternator replaced . Then driving to work all the dashboard lights lit up like a christmas tree and died a couple of times once in the middle of the road . Even when the car was in park and key out of the ignition the lights on dashboard would light up , like the car never totally shut off?replaced ecm afterwards thinking that was the problem but wasn’t the case (I still have the original ecm unit ) and still there was a battery drain , driving it and the lights lit up the dashboard and stalled out . You can here a buzzing sound after the car if off and key is removed ?.

Unknown. This vehicle is great if it would stay running. I drive it about 15 min than it just shuts off and won't restart until it cools down . I've had it checked and replaced camshaft and crankshaft and the throttle potionsensor and it continues to shut off while driving. It's very irritating it could cause a accident and also leave someone stranded. No codes pop up anymore but it still has that problem.

While driving my engine caught on fire. My safety was put at risk because I had to pull over and get out the car. Flames started coming from the hood of the car. I just dropped my newborn baby off 10 minutes prior and was around the corner from picking up my other child. I had to call 911 and wait for the fire department to come. I tried to put it out myself but the fire was too great and I was afraid it would explode. My check engine light was on but I was told it was for an old misfire. I haven’t not had any issues with my vehicle, I drive it to work everyday. Vehicle has not been inspected by insurance as I do not currently have active insurance on vehicle. Chrysler customer service states because vehicle is 13 years old they are not liable. No Dodge dealership will look at vehicle because it will be difficult to find issue alas the vehicle is totaled. There is a recall r32 starting in 2011 for this model. My engine although made in 2010 is the same engine in the recall. 2. 4 liter 4 cylinder.

I have been stranded in this vehicle to many times to count. Mostly I had to get a jump to get it back home or keep it running until I returned home. Within the last 30 days I have installed a new alternator and starter. Walmart has installed 4 new batteries due to it being under warranty. So as of today I can't start my car. All the interior lights come on and radio but won't turn over. I tried to get a jump 3 times but still nothing. I am disabled and can't get on public transportation or barely walk up stairs. I'm at zero income and awaiting approval from ssi. So I need someone to assist with this nightmare please. I honestly don't know what else to do.

There is a lighting bolt that repeatedly pops up on dashboard and the car cuts off immediately in mid drive !! I have been to the dealership spent $3200 plus and it just keeps coming back on . Also all the lights flicker on and off while driving or when you hit the turning signals this is ridiculous!! it’s 2022, these issues should had been recalled !!! this is horrible and unsafe especially when driving with children!.

Drove to the park, parked the car. Went for a walk, came back 20 minutes later, car would not start. Turn the key, no sound, all dash light come one, car will not crank, no sound at all. Towed the car to my house, and charged battery for a full day. Car same issue, will not crank, no noise. I turn the key to on, press on the brake and move to neutral, and car still no start. I use the remote starter, and car just clicks a few times and does not start. Basically turning the key to start, lights come on as usual, then no noise no crank no start. This is third day of trying to start this car, never had issues with it for over a year, and never with starting car. No warnings at all, no lights on to show anything bad before this, and no warning after it happened, scanner show no faulty codes detected. From the park waited to be towed and got home after 10 pm, safety, it got dark, it rained and unreliable to just not start.

Vehicle loses power while driving. Sometimes it will not start being stranded with kids as this vehicle was produced as a family car. Had battery, alternator, starter replaced. Have read numerous reports from google about vehicle not starting due to safety security features, problems with the fuse box, needing a yellow wire grounded that is located under the hood, and so on. If this is a know issue with these vehicles for over 10yrs why has it not been recalled to be fixed. As I drive the vehicle on the freeway with my kids in it endaragering our lives and the many others who are on the road with me and the countless other Dodge Journey drivers. Fix this issue. Make Dodge accountable for their mistake as they know what they did.

The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 86,000.

While driving car just turns off for no reason. When pushing the remote start button window roll down. Heated seats will not come on but for a second or two. This has happened several times.

Hot oil light car was moving the hot oil light came on car would start for two hours in parking lot power train module had to be replace.

I was at a stoplight waiting for my right of way the light turns green I push on the gas and it goes to the center of the lights and loses power then shuts off. I try to start but it just starts clicking with a red lightning bolt on the dash I tr to move in n and it wouldn't let me till after like 5 times. . . Finally after almost being hit from behind the opposite side turns green and im having to push the car by myself with 4 kids under 4. Till this day its unknown sitting in my drive way, and ever since it has happen it won't start anymore. Never had any problems till that day always been well maintained. And it seems like I drains every battery. Also a family member has the same car and the same problem has happen to them also.

Car randomly will not crank wait a while then finally starts seems to happen more if the car has been off for a short period vs a longer period. I have replaced neutral safety switch, ground cable, tipm, ecm, key fob still no crank randomly.

The 2010 Dodge Journey will randomly start honking, even when driving or sitting in traffic. It may be a long honk or several short beeps. After parking it will not start, there is power going to the vehicle, it just won't start. Have had battery changed, starter checked and alternator checked. . . All in good condition. It seems to have the mechanics stumped as to what to do in order to correct these problems. It has been ongoing for some time now, and after researching other 2010 Dodge Journey problems, it seems that this issue with honking and not starting is a huge issue. There are videos all over youtube and comments in car forums talking about the same problems and Dodge mechanics have no clue as to what to do, while the Dodge company simply does not care that these cars not as reliable as they should be.

The vehicle turns off while driving even on the highway. Very dangerous other vehicles have a recall on this issue just not my VIN. The engine has had a knock on it even after being serviced.

The car will not start.

Vehicle randomly will not start. Brakes go stiff. All lights radio etc works, car just refuses to start (it is not even attempting to start) after a few hours car will start.

I have had intermittent starting problems, I put the fob in , turn the key , the dash lights come on , there is a click , but it will not turn over. I can wait from a few minutes to a couple of days before it works again. There is no set pattern and we have had everything checked. It left us in parking lots at work before while it wont start, causing us to be late picking kids up from school and even at the store. Looking online many people are having the same problem. If there is this many out there why is there not something being done about it?.

Car will not turn on. One day it urns on fine next day wont turn on.

Driving along and cut off. No breaks and no steering with my children in the vehicle on the interstate. This issue happened on more than two occasions.

2010 Dodge Journey - won't start - electrical issues - battery is good but won't crank - tried different key - lot's of problems with these cars.

Car occasionally doesn't stay in high gear at highway speeds. Need to pull over and turn car off to get it to shift to high gear again. The automatic transmission also doesn't hold itself on hills at a light. It rolls backward unless I hold the break. Air diverter box behind glove box bangs even when the car is off.

�takata recall� when I put my key in and try to turn over my vehicle it will not start. It appears that the ignition switch is malfunctioning . And I've been stuck on the side of the road with two kids and it's been happening for months and now I'm stuck on the side of the road, because normally it would turn over after a few tries but now it won't turn at all.

I love Dodge but at this point I'm ready to stop buying Dodge.

Air bag light is on car electrical system malfunctions engine starts when it wants to. I've already replaced the battery and starter.

I have a 2010 Dodge Journey bought it a week ago with 108k miles after I brought it home horn would go off by itself had to pull the fuses out to get it to stop and now recently when trying to accelerate the rpm will go to 5000 at a speed of 40 mph and won't shift and it will cost me a fortune to get it diagnosed and repaired.

1st thing was the horn, randomly honking at all hours of the day of night. It had stopped. . . . For now. . . . But now my car is not starting. For some reason it won't turn over, I can turn key to let it do it's emission test before starting then turning key to start, it just clicks and doesn't start. Car has done it at grocery store, daycare, work, even shut off by itself while stopped at a red light.

Vehicle turns off while driving. Unable to steer or brake.

Esp, bas, & traction lights on can't take out of park. Dealership replaced tipm ($1200) next morning lights come back on & once stopped, can't take out of park. When starting vehicle, I have to hurry & put in reverse before all dials are registering & safe to drive, otherwise esp, bas. & traction lights will be on & I'm not able to take out of park.

Purchased my 2010 Journey March 2017. A week after purchase constant shake in steering wheel, brakes and rotors changed already, constant battle with getting it started, will click and radio, lights , and all work. Sometimes 5 minutes sometimes an hour before it will start. Battery tester, alt, and starter checked. All clear, then to add to ask if that it all of the sudden starts over heating about 10 minutes up the road. Replace the thermostat, flush the lines and it stop over heats. I can not afford to fix any of this at the same time! I have 4 kids I need my vehicle fixed and safe for the road ASAP.
