general problems of the 2015 Dodge Journey - part 2

My head rest deployed while driving down the road and will not go back into place I think the clip that hold it in broke when it deployed. This could have caused an accident or injury had I been leaning against it.

My driver side head rest has deployed for no apparent reason. The car was parked in my driveway.

1. The driver seat belt does not stay locked in. Periodically I would put the seatbelts on and it will unbuckle as if it wasn't secured in. I heard it click. It has happened several times. Luckily I was not moving at the time. 2. I received an tune up at approximately 95k miles. One if the pistons was misfiring. I believe the 6th one was. Brand new parts and was installed by a professional mechanic. There is a knocking noise that will not go away. The belts have been checked. 3. While out of town I was parking and while in reverse it became hard to turn. I later found out that there was no fluid in the powersteering. There was a low fluid indication. . I immediately filled the car up will power steering fluid. Since then it has been harder to turn my wheel. It started off I could not turn right without a struggle. Then it was the left side . The only way to turn is to accelerate and turn. This came out of nowhere. The aggressive progress in the loss if steering ability is troubling especially with smaller children.

Purchased vehicle in April of 2015, transmission pump went out on it in July 2016 while on vacation moving through the entrance gaits at where we were staying. Was fixed under warranty on vacation. Dealership did not even give us a loaner while waiting. The following April 2017, it happened again while driving to work only they had replace entire transmission. Now my vehicle jerks when switching gears and stalls randomly when I come to a stop. I am at 76k miles. This new transmission is still under warrenty since it has not been a year. This car is a lemon!!! I will be getting rid of it soon. I was hoping to keep it after I paid it off, but I don't think it will last for me to see it get paid off! I have also had a seat track fixed and the radio and navigation replaced, as well as the wiring harness for the steering wheel and cruise control. All during warrenty thankfully. Makes me angry because I do not want to start over on a loan and I will not be able to buy at the same interest rate.

My car steering wheel make noise when I turn the steering and was told it's in recall I take to the dealer 3timrs nd they never fixed it.

While my husband was driving home from work on 3/14/17, he stopped to help a fellow officer that was stranded, he got out of the vehicle and was helping the other officer he smelled smoke and looked back and saw that it was our car on fire. The fire occurred in the front drivers side door panel, he was able to drive the vehicle home,after he thought the fire was out. The next day he drove the car to the auto shop,while on the way there the fire restarted,he was able to make it to the body shop. The vehicle sat at the dealer ship for 13 or 14 days before we finally got the okay from Chrysler to fix it. The mecahanical part was fixed, however the sever smell from the smoke,burnt rubber,and plastic was not. We did take the vehicle back,and the dealership did do everything they could to get the smell out, the smell is still there. This is the only vehicle we have. So we have had no choice, but to drive it. My boys both have severe asthma and allergies, so riding in a car with a constant odor of smoke and burnt stuff is extremely unhealthy. My husband has also had a cough from the smoke inhailation that occurred, he is currently coughing stuff up outta his lungs. I have made at least 20-25 phone calls to Chrysler, and have not received one back, we have not even received the report from the fire inspector that they sent. I would really just like to get some answers and know my rights. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

I was rear-ended after coming to a stop on a highway in rush hour traffic. Upon impact, my body lunged forward and the backwards landing on the seat, causing it to recline almost onto the 2nd row seat. When my body went backward, it caused me to unhand the steering wheel. It is unknown what may have caused the seat to recline other than the impact of my body on the seat. I have a police report.
