Speed is horrible I don't no where to start.
My car has only 91000 miles and there is a click from the transmission and a weird slowing noise have no clue why done all the maintenance one it.
Both catalyst converts went out at the same time and failed my GA emissions test. There is a permanent code. I only had this SUV a year and have already rebuilt the transmission, along with caliber issues. I was told that my VIN didn't match the u67 catalyst emission recall that included my vehicle description, trim, make and model. The recall should have expanded to 3. 6 liters as well, considering the problem is an exact match. I expect Dodge will rectify this emissions problem, considering that GA residents will find this SUV useless in such a strict emission state.
My 2011 Dodge Journey on the driver side heat blows hot on the passage side it blows code. This happen when driving or when it's started to warm up the passage side it blows cold even when the car has been driven from 15 minutes.
I believe that maybe the location of the battery has caused overheating problems that have caused the vehicle not to start. The whole car will turn on (ac, lights, radio) except for the engine and it has left myself and my children stranded in extreme weather conditions. The car intermittently turns on and this has been occurring for one year now. It can take anywhere from 20 minutes to 3 hours before the car turns back on.
Fuel line on the fuel rail blew out heard pop then vehicle caught fire. Was driving smelled gas drove home as fast as possible. Got out of car to see fuel pouring out of driver side of car under hood. Went in house. Got husband he let the car cool down then looked to see where it was coming from heard pop and then flames.
No heat on passenger side of vehicle dealer states heater core plugged needs replacing at over $1000.
The coolant system keep overheating had fix 2 times in 4months at a cost $900. 00 reach time.
Today 8-24-15 my 2011 Dodge Journey shut off as I was driving down a road. There was no prior indication the car all of the sudden would not steer , brake or do anything . The electric was still on but the car completely shut off . I had to use all my strength to maneuver it off the road and wait for it to slow down . My child was in the car . This is the second incident this has happened - 1st being in March 2015. Both have been reported to Chrysler . Both times I have brought to my local mechanic and it was set up for computerized diagnostic testing and both time threw no error codes. My mechanic believes it is an issue with the win module or something that is making the car ignition faulty and turning to accessory mode . It is unsafe to drive and I have contacted Chrysler because they need to stand behind their product . They are unwilling to make it a priority and have not offered a resolution . Just a note , the 2009 and 2010 version of this vehicle have been recalled for same issue . I have set up appt to have it diagnosed by Chrysler service center as they have indicated -however , the only time they could fit me in was a full week away . So now I wait because they feel that my car is safe ? and haven't even offered a rental ?!.
After removing the cartridge style oil filter from the assembly, a spring and broken plastic pieces flew out of the assembly. This occurred around 50,000 miles. Vehicle was covered under certified used car warranty provided by Dodge. Appears to be a common problem and the part has since been updated on new vehicles.
