I have owned my Dodge Journey since may 2013, and after two years I began to have problems. The vehicle does not pick up and go. At times when the vehicle is in idling mode (like if I am sitting at a traffic light) it acts as if it wants to stop. On other occasions the vehicle acts as if it wants to stop, even if I am in drive or just sitting in park. I recently had a tune and the battery replaced. I am still having the same problem! however, it's even worse now because the vehicle constantly shakes and wants to stop while I am caught up in traffic, which is very dangerous (especially when I have my children and dogs in the vehicle with me). I want this issue resolved. I bring my vehicle in for regular maintenance as required, and when I mentioned the issue to my service advisor at the Dodge dealership where I originally purchased the vehicle, they told me it's because the vehicle is getting old. The most recent incident of the vehicle shaking and wanting to stop occurred yesterday afternoon while I was driving down hwy I-64. Because of all of these issues I am never buying a Dodge again.
Bought the 2013 Dodge Journey brand new on March 2013. My Journey only has less than 21,000 miles on it and yet the v6 misfires causing the gas to fill the (all the way to the muffler) back and front (engine) of the vehicle, I found this out when I turn on my car Saturday morning, the car started shaking and I could smell the gas fumes filling up the inside if the car. I drop it off to the repair shop and I was told, I was lucky that it didn't caught on fire.
