general problems of the 2015 Dodge Journey

I was driving to work and after about 15 minutes of driving at around 45 miles an hour my car stopped accelerating when I pushed on the gas. Shortly after that my wheel locked and the power steering went out. Once I got myself on the side of the road the car would not turn off and I had trouble putting it in park. After a few minutes I was able to turn the car off and they called a tow truck to take me to a mechanic. The tow truck driver was able to restart the car and get the car in neutral to tow it to a mechanic.

Electronic stability control (esc), service brakes, hydraulic the light for the stability control came on and my brakes chatter feels like there's bumps on the disc . Its pulling to the right , . . Also my door locks have failed . First it started with my rear windshield wiper running with the switch off ,than my reverse lights and now the locks . The back door does not lock at all and the door locks work sometimes . The electronics on my car is failing @ 120,000 it started . Its now at 150,000 tried everything still wont work.

The car will be driving and just completely shut off in traffic power steering locks up. You can’t get the car into park. The windshield wipers go crazy the screen goes black. It starts doing clicking sounds I had to have the firemen come and get me out of the road my car stopped since the second time this is so dangerous, they cannot figure out what’s wrong with it I replaced the battery @ the dealership, I’ve replaced the alternator at aamco. I bought this car in 2016 new off the lot. I’ve had many problems with the electrical. This is just the worst . My radio turns on and off at will . My driver side window will not roll down unless it’s below 30° outside which is super strange, and my air conditioning turns itself on turns itself off, but this was the scariest this is happened before last year and I had aamco look at the transmission. They said that the transmission had a lot of metal in it that they have seen a lot in these Dodges but they cleaned it out for me and it was fine, but this is the same thing that was happening and this is not a transmission thing this is a power thing it just loses power completely. My car only has 100,000 miles on it I’ve taken care of my car I’m the only owner. All those miles are highway miles from visiting family. I never drive my car anywhere further and then in my neighborhood which is a . 5 radius and I work from home so I rarely drive my car so 100,000 miles it isn’t a high number for a car that’s taken care of that isn’t driven often.

Since purchasing this vehicle we have had catalytic converter issues that have persisted even after having the dealer "fix" the issue. We have also had abs/traction control module issues. This is the 2nd identical vehicle owned with the exact same problems.

The abs system got wet and shorted out the electrical system. It seems it may have been a recall earlier that was done but obviously it has failed again. Was driving and all lights and beepers went off. My abscandvtraction control and brake sensor and cruise control and park assist and engine and brake lights are all on and it now won’t start easy. It’s a mess and at the dealer who says they won’t help fix it.

The acceleration stopped, the lightening light, traction light and skid light all came on and would not accelerate. Car was on but no gas pedal in the middle of the highway. Oil was changed a week before and no leaks on ground but oil is low. It is very dangerous as it has done this several times over the last month and has caused me to almost be in several wrecks because speed drops and cars almost rear end me. Have replaced the crankshaft position sensor twice no in a month.

Looking back the issue started about one month prior to warning lights came on when I had to brake quickly, but not really "slamming" on the brakes and they seemed to "lock-up". Luckily I had plenty of room between myself and the car in front of me. It never happened again so I thought it was a fluke. Thirty days or so later, I started the engine and everything was fine but after about 20 feet down the road, the brake, abs, and traction lights all came on. Went back home, turned off the engine, went inside to ask husband to come look and when he turned engine back on and he tried driving it around the corner but the lights did not come back on. The issue continued with the lights going on and go off, when they are on the cruise control is inoperable. We took it to autozone to see if we could find out what might be going on and we were told that we would need to take it to a Dodge dealership. It took several weeks for them to fit us in, but when they took in we were told it was an internal short in the abs module and would need to be replaced. We were also told that it would be 3 months before they could even order it. While we have been waiting to safely use our vehicle I have been researching and found that there is a recall on other 2015 Dodge Journeys (r61) for issue with the abs module for just the reason we are having to replace ours. In checking our VIN, it states that our vehicle is not covered under the recall, but not only am I questioning that should it be and there might be many other vehicles on the road with the issue and they won't know it until it is too late since ours had a scary event prior to warning lights ever coming on. I also do not think we should have to pay over $1,000 for an issue covered under a recall.

Started the car, the check engine light was on and the traction control light was on. Check engine light code said lost communication with steering sensor. The windshield wipers were at full speed and could not be turned off. All controls on the steering wheel were not working. I lost the use of my blinker and horn. Making my car unsafe to drive. It happens at random times and I’m not able to use my remote start.

This vehicle constantly shakes at about the 50 mph. Engine light starts to come on and there is a hesitation to accelerate. This is extremely dangerous and I read several others issues with the misfire. Something needs to be done before others are hurts. . . Very serious issue.

There is a recall on 2015 Dodge Journeys for the wiring on the abs system that causes the wires to get corroded and the abs not working. I have recently had the issue described in the recall yet my vehicle does not qualify for the recall and my local Dodge repair center want me to pay 1800. 00 to repair something that should be fixed under the recall and now I have a vehicle that I can not drive or I risk having an accident.

Power surging or fuel surging during accelerating. When I try to get up to speed it is like it cuts out on fuel and surges.

Horn and buttons on steering wheel do not work so guessing that the airbag isn’t going to deploy either.

2015 Dodge Journey. Lights for awd, abs and stability control system come on with no notice as I enter a major intersection. Loss of power no acceleration. The vehicle finally started to move. The. Warning lights went off. Contacting dealer for repair.

The 2015 Dodge Journey r/t awd. I purchased this SUV 2 years ago and now while the vehicle is in drive and in motion on streets and highways the second it touches 20 mph and up it is making this" revving noise" as if it is in another gear and it's only in drive! this SUV is not that old to have such issues happening now. Its not right when the consumer is spending their money for a SUV that is giving them issues so early into the purchase. Dodge needs to recall this vehicle!! and anyone even thinking of purchasing this SUV. Honestly don't. . . Run out of any dealership selling this 2015 Dodge Journey r/t awd SUV! the only Journey you will take will be back to the dealership with issues!.

Today 18-Jul-18 absolutely no lights or power to the vehicle. I have tried jumps and car is still inoperable. It gets so hot in here that the interior surfaces are melting and chipping off.

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.

While driving on busy intersection vehicle just shut off on its own. Steering wheel locked therefore I had no control. Almost crashed into another vehicle and median. Had to wait for it to come to a complete stop on the middle of intersection to be able to restart it.
