I was I side and my horn honked at least 15 times by itself. I knew it wasn't my keys because my key fob had been disconnected from my car.

Shortly after beginning to drive the car, the traction control light comes on, the steering tightens up and the brakes freeze up. This happens on completely dry roads. This happened 2 times within 1 mile of each time. The first time I almost went through an intersection because I couldn't get stopped, and the second time I almost rear ended a car. I had both of my children who are 7 and 10 in the vehicle. This is not the first time this issue has happened. It happened 6 months ago, and my mechanic said the code was a faulty tpm which was replaced. It then happened a month ago, and the most recent time which was last week. I've been researching this issue and it seems that the Dodge Journey has had this issue, among others. It seems as if this vehicle needs a complete recall. Somebody is going to end up seriously injured or dead. I still owe $10k on my vehicle and cannot afford to buy another and pay this loan. I need to get rid of this vehicle and Dodge needs to take responsibility.

As I was driving I tired to turn the wheel to go around a small curve on a city street and it wouldn't turn. I could feel the car staring to die. As I put the car in park to turn the ignition off the break pedal would not work. I was able to turn the car off and restart without any issues. Later my horn started honking on its own. And continues to honk randomly. Also the alarm randomly went off once yesterday. Today it has randomly honked all afternoon.

Car will not start at times. Cant put it in gear at times. Eap light comes on without any issues. Seems all electrically issues must repair brake and turn signal lights every other month.

Recall notice - #s08 - we never received a notice for this recall.

Was leaving work and lost steering. Upon checking realized there was no power steering fluid in car. I added power steering fluid and started car it immediately started running out of the car just inside and behind the right front tire. Upon further inspection I discovered the rubber line had simply slid off of the hard line. It slid right back on. The factory "spring" clamp can be compressed with my fingers. I took it off and replaced with a worm gear clamp to insure that it stays on. This could have been a real danger if it had happened at highway speed. I am attaching a picture of original clamp.

Car turns off while driving and traction control light goes on. Steering and breaks do not work when this happens creating an emergency situation for driver and passengers as well as the public as crash is very possible. Car will not start immediately upon attempting to restart. If it does start, within 5 minutes the car will shut down again mid drive. Car fails to accelerate above 1500 rpms right before car shuts off. .

For the fourth time now I have had to have my vehicle in to have the power steering hose replaced!!!! and of course, I am am being told this vehicle does not have a factory block heater installed so it is not covered under the recall. I have never been so disappointed by a company in all my life!!!! each time this has happened it has caused a huge inconvenience for me and my family. The first time the vehicle was parked at a school funstion. Started it, let it run for about 5 min and when I accelerated to leave my power steering was gone. Second time, I was parked, went to start it and went to leave. Again, no power steering. Third time I was parked in a lot for shopping. I started it, went to leave and no power steering. The fourth time the vehicle was parked in my garage. I started it remotely. When I went to back out of the garage there was no power steering. In the middle of winter no less!!!! I was left onthe side of road with my two kids last Friday when the temperature here in mn was -20. Are you kidding me?!?! all of these occurrences have happened int he dead of winter. Not to mention the hundreds of dollars I have to keep on paying to have this fixed. This is a known issue with this year make and model, but I can't be compensated under the recall because it doesn't have a block heater?. A block heater has nothing to do with power steering hoses blowing off on start up in winter. I really need help as I am single mom with two kids and connot afford to continue taking time off from work to take my vehicle in for this problem. Any help or information you may be able to provide is greatyl appreciated!!.

This car is six years old and I have now had to replace brake pads and rotors three times. Each time the technician indicates that there is minimal brake pad left and the rotors are rusted, pitted and overheated. They recommend in each case that the the repair is a safety concern. What I have read online from other Journey owners is that the brakes are woefully inadequate for the vehicle size and weight. It is time that Chrysler repair this once and for all.

When driving, both at low neighborhood speed and at highway speed, the engine stalls, lights and radio stay on, steering wheel locks and brakes lock. It has happened several times intermittently and unpredictably. I didn't become scared until it happened when I was on a highway going 60mph and almost wrecked trying to safely exit (date indicated below). The car is now in my driveway because I am afraid to drive it. A mechanic said it was related to a previously-issued safety recall but when I called a dealer to make an appointment for the recall repair, I was told that my vehicle was not included in the recall, despite the glaring similarity. I have not received a recall notice and, as stated, dealerships will not repair my vehicle for free.

Tl- the contact owns a 2010 Dodge Journey. The contact stated that while driving about 50 mph, (and sometimes at a stop) the vehicle shut off without warning indicators. The gear was shifted to neutral, to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the uftring Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram dealer (309-382-1000, located at 140 radio city dr, pekin, IL 61554) where it was stated that there was no recall. The technician diagnosed that the power steering coolant needed be ordered. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and did not help, stating that there was no recall. The contact was referred to the NHTSA. The failure mileage was approximately 110,000. Fe.

The power steering on this vehicle does not work properly at lower speeds. Power steering suffers from a lack of power causing the steering wheel to become hard to move and undrivable. The vehicle was taken to a shop and told that the dealer has a recall for this exact issue, s08. The recall is for the hydraulic power assist hose, piping, and connections. The dealer states that the recall does not appear for the VIN. The manufacturer states that even though this model year and engine size do have this recall because it does not have an engine block heater it does not qualify. The engine block heater has nothing to do with the power steering of this vehicle. I believe this vehicle should be covered by the s08 recall that other vehicles of this year and model and engine size are covered by.

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.

The autos horn will activate unintentionally causing safety concern of troubling other drivers the car can be in motion or stationary at the time.

Parked vehicle to attend a 2 hour school function. It was approx. -20 degrees outside in the evening. When I went to drive the vehicle home the power steering was gone. It was very difficult to drive to get the 3 miles home. Once we were home we could smell power steering fluid burning from the engine. We parked the vehicle, opened the hood and there was power steering fluid on top the engine as well as sprayed underneeth the hood. There was a recall for this issue on the Dodge Journey starting in may 2016. Chrysler recall # s08. I checked my vehicle's VIN with your website. It came back as not being included in the recall. I highly recommend this being looked into as my vehicle displayed the exact issues on the recall.

Power steering makes a whinning sound when starting the SUV. The airbag light will not turn off and the engine light is on due to electrical issues. My ignition also slips while driving.
