When I look at the message boards for this Dodge make of car there are endless mentions of this problem and something needs to be done about people endlessly spending money to fix a. Problem that Dodge knows is causing these problems. Just bought my son this car and 3 days later the car will not start in the morning. Setting in the driveway at home. Was able to jump the vehicle to get it started only it to not start again when returning from work 6 hours later parked in a parking garage. Drove out there had to jump vehicle again. Bought new battery and replaced car did the same thing 8 hours later, used battery checked good as well as the alternator. Got online and found all of these suggestions to override a safety feature in the car that seemed to work for a lot of people but did not work for us. Please look at all the online complaints for this situation and make Dodge fix this problem, I travel extensively and my wife is sick with cancer and I'm not there nor is she able to help with getting this fixed every 8 hours to 3 days depending on how long it lasts.
I have been having problems with the power windows. There is a clicking sound when attempting to roll the window down. It rolls down sometimes. After that's been going on for a few weeks, my car cut off. I received a jump through my insurance. Today, my car got jumped and cut off twice. The mechanic said it was the alternator. I went online and I found that other people have had the same issues with Dodge, Chrysler, and fiat. Each time my car didn't restart, it was after I parked and came back to it. Today, it's being towed.
Tl the contact owns a 2015 Dodge Journey. The contact stated that the vehicle made an abnormal rattling sound while being operated. Also, the vehicle leaked oil, there was a hole in the transmission, and the check engine warning indicator and brake lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to sierra Chrysler Dodge (1305 mountain Ave, monrovia, CA 91016) where it was diagnosed that a new alternator was needed. The alternator was not repaired; however, the timing belt and oil leak were repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and offered to compensate the contact for the repairs. The failure mileage was 78,000.
While driving down the highway, my alternator went out. The battery light came on and all of the lights started flashing. I managed to exit the freeway and get to a safe point. I am reporting this because I see that there was a recall on 2011 - 2014 models. The very same thing happened to my vehicle.
