general problems of the 2016 Dodge Journey - part 2

Driving the car on the highway, it started to slow down; the vehicle stopped and did not move. My children and I scared but thank god help came. The lights on the car turned on, indicating something was wrong. I couldn't read the sign or understand what went wrong. The car will not stay on. It shut off, and the code indicated the cylinder is not working. I reported it and towed the Dodge dealership vehicle because the representative said it would be covered because it's a recall. My car is still at the dealership. More than two months and no one can tell me why the car won't work.

Tl- the contact owns a 2016 Dodge Journey. The contact stated that while driving the check engine light had illuminated and eventually went off. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer larry h. Miller Dodge located at 1800 w 104th Ave, denver, CO 80234 who diagnosed that the exhaust manifold had cracked due to a faulty cataliytic converter. The vehicle was not yet repaired. Also while operating the vehicle several lights located in the rear liftgate would not illuminate or was very dem due to an electrical short in the tail gate wire harness. The lighting affected by the failure included the brake lights, tag lights and signal lights. The failure was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failures but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 103,000. Jft.

When driving, at any speed or upon acceleration, the engine suddenly loses power and goes to 1500rpm(approx. ) with a traction control light and battery charging light ( car swerving light and red lightning bolt light) illuminated. At highway speeds this is very hazardous, on the street its very frustrating. When vehicle is brought to a stop and completely shutdown, thereby resetting the ecm, the vehicle starts normally and drives normally( sometimes!) on other occasions after being put into gear and proceeding the same thing occurs and engine will not rev over 1500-1800 rpms and so long as you are not going up a hill will shift normally to get to about 40 mph tops, on a hill however speed will drop to about 15-20 depending on the hill I guess. This happened on 8-15-20 and car reset and drove normally after that with no issues but the following morning as I left home for work it occurred 2 blocks away from home and after resetting car via shutting it down several times the issue would not "self cure". Hopefully, as this is Sunday at 5 am when the mechanic troubleshoots it displays the same behavior and I will update this post.

Engine keeps losing power and dying. Cruise control reves engine to high up and down for now reason on a straight stretch of street when yourturn to the left to sharp the engine dies.

Tl the contact owns a 2016 Dodge Journey. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle shuddered, failed to accelerate and stalled with an unknown warning light flashing. The vehicle was towed to poway Chrysler Jeep Dodge ram (13811 poway rd, poway, CA 92064), to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign number: 18v332000 (electrical system, vehicle speed control). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 66,000.

This has been happening for about a month now. While driving my dash board lights go on then off,my radio will turn up by itself, my heat/ ac wont come on. I will have to shut my car off and then back on. For it to work. And it makes my car to jerk and now today. Feb. 26 2020. My wipers go out as well on the highway in a down pour. Again I had to pull over turn my car off wait about 5 mins and then start my car again. I had to do this about 5 time during my hour 1/2 drive.

The vehicle is jerking and the radio is changing channels on it s own. The engine is making a sound, that sounds like it's about to give out. The vehicle haves less than 40000 miles on it. The traction control light came on while I was driving straight on dry pavement.

While driving the driver's seat belt keeps coming off. The a/c keeps turning on randomly when I turn it off.

Vehicle was stationary and remote started for about 5 minutes. �we loaded up our children in the car and started smelling a strong plastic/rubber burning smell that stings in the throat. �the smell was coming out of the heat vents, could be smelled outside the car and under the hood. �we shut off the vehicle and I looked for the source of the burning, but didn't immediately find it. �after some time we restarted and waited about 5 minutes and it came back again. �this time I located a glowing red chassis ground strap wire that was burning off the coating. �the car was towed to my house for inspection during daylight hours. �I noticed that the method of attachment of the sheet metal clip to the motor mount seems dubious as this type of connection may cause high electrical resistance and lead to heat build-up. �fortunately this happened when the vehicle was parked and we were waiting on warm-up. �had my wife just driven off the smoke smell would have been a distraction and could lead to increased crash risk. �also when the wire finally burned and disconnected the circuit, the vehicle could have stalled in an very dangerous situation and lead to a crash. � �.

Drivers side window switch would not work every once in a while. Then started making clicking noise and not working. Will not control any windows and no windows will go up or down. I have spent alot of money replacing parts and nothing is fixing the problem and when I look online for advice I read about this being a common problem with Dodge Journey and also read that this problem has led to electrical fire in some vehicles. Why has this problem not been fixed and whatever part recalled.

Tl the contact owns a 2016 Dodge Journey. While driving approximately 35 mph, the check engine warning indicator illuminated and the speedometer started to fluctuate. The battery warning indicator also illuminated and the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to restart the vehicle but was concerned that the failure would recur. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed or repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 84,866.

2016 Dodge Journey power shuts off while driving on a city street. Replaced once already and same code came crankshaft. This will be the second time replacing it in under six months.

Tl the contact owns a 2016 Dodge Journey. While driving 40 mph, the battery warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the battery was low and needed to be replaced. The contact replaced the battery. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The failure mileage was 52,000. The VIN was invalid.

Power distribution center went out in vehicle and repaired for the second time. I dont trust the vehicle. Stalled on the highway, with children in the car. This was very scary and dangerous. This vehicle had a recall that triggered alot of issues with the truck, to be quiet honest when it gets fixed I don't feel safe driving the vehicle.

The drivers side master panel will not allow the windows to roll down. There is a clicking noise when trying to roll down, and a humming noise when trying to roll up. None of the window switches on any of the windows will work now. The lock/ unlock buttons and the rear view mirrors still work. I stopped at a drive through pharmacy window and it would not roll down. It worked yesterday and will not today. Nothing traumatic (spills, etc. ) happened between now and then.

Vehicle stalls randomly. Mostly at low speeds or slowing down.

My car has been making a weird noise and they always say they dot hear it. The electrical components go on and off, lights , air conditioner, fan, ,vent, radio etc. I am nervous about driving.

With less than 16000 miles have had battery drain down on 3 occasions, in one occasion less than 16 hours parked in a heated garage. Battery discharged to the the point once ignition to start is pressed, lights flicker, clicking sound form engine compartment, wont even stop this action by turning ignition off. Check of battery voltage was 5. 6 volts, battery replaced on first occasion by dealer, both other times, dealer charged battery and no apparent codes tripped. Unable to locate problem. No lights etc were left on on either failure, parked in heated garage, driven for over 30 miles each time. Something is putting a severe drain on the battery is a short time.

Takata recall for a 2016 Dodge Journey. My Dodge Journey is experiencing multiply issues that may be deemed as electrical issues. The first issue is the cruise control is still malfunctioning from a previous recall under recall number 18u49182. Whether cruise control is off or on the vehicle still maintains it's same speed. The second issue with my vehicle is also the vehicle constantly veers off the road. I almost crashed on the expressway because of this issue. This issue pose a safety issue because it can cause an accident. The third issue with this 2016 Dodge is the tire pressure systems seems to be faulty. I have been experiencing a issue with this for a month now. When I put air into the tires all of the tires pressure psi are the same then within five minutes all the tire psi are different by substantial digits. One tire could be 39 when you begin and five minutes later it could display 34 psi. The vehicle is always imbalanced causing it to rock.

I have a 2016 Dodge Journey about a month ago ran over a large rain puddle while turning in to get some gas. Filled up and as I'm driving off abs, brake, and the swerving car signal kept coming on. My fuel gauge reader went all the way down to empty and the speedometer would go up and down random times while driving. Couple days later we had took it in to get checked out was told my fuel sensor went out and needed to get a new fuel pump because the sensor was inside of it. Had it fixed after waiting two days from our car guy drove it off the repair shop and not even hours later the same issue. Was told I had warranty on fuel pump purchased from dealership and they would replace it again. I took it to dealership and was told needed a new fuel pump and they were going to charge me 135 per error code and then would tell me what additionally needed to be fixed and that I would have to leave the car for up to a week. The car was just purchased in Aug 2018 and it has under 54k miles on it. While driving the car at any given time all the lights continue to come on. The car stopped on me in the middle of the highway. It gave out on me in the center highway and I had to wait for emergency serveces to assist me it took 2 hours and this was at 7 am in the morning on 610/10 freeway in houston, TX the car has given out on me twice now and ive replaced the battery twice. Whatever is the issue continues to kill the battery power and I can't find any mechanic including the dealership to fix what the problem is, but they want to charge me for randomn work that does nothing to fix the issue.

The issues started after the recall for the speed control computer flash was done, about 2 weeks after I noticed that my rear wiper would only turn on when the car was in reverse. If I would put the rear wiper switch in the on position nothing would happen. So in order to stop the rear wiper from moving while in reverse, I have to leave the switch on the on position, my rear wiper also moves when I unlock my car. . Following that my reverse lights do not come on. Then my left tail gate light does not come on when lights are turned on but it does come on when I unlocked the car. When I open the rear hatch door none of the interior lights turn on. So I am forced to open another door if I want the lights to turn on. Also when I go to reverse my back up camera screen goes black and also starts to glitch. This happens occasionally.

Several months after having new tires put on my SUV, I noticed the service awd, traction control, and abs lights were on continuously on my panel when in motion and upon learning the ignition button. Sometimes they'd go off either moving or stationary but then as 2 months passed, they'd remain on at all times. I wasn't able to engage cruise control when those lights were on. I had 2 near accidents from nearly hitting 2 large deer. I hit my brakes and my tires did but wasn't to grip the road and just felt like they were on ice (in summer) . When they would grip they made a loud noise and then I was able to stop but not without smelling burnt rubber. I have heard from a friend of mine that is a mechanic that he had a feeling it was my abs sensor but didnt have access to a Dodge diagnostic system as he works for a different dealership. Ive heard from different people that this has been a "common" problem recently with Journeys. I paid 97 dollars for a diagnostic forma non-dealer garage and they confirmed it was my right front abs sensor and it was a manufacturer defect. I called the Dodge dealership and I was not informed when I brought it in there for the recall that it was under warranty. I brought my SUV in and the advisor didn't believe it was my sensor until it was replaced. I was informed that the Journeys have been coming in by the dozen over this issue and all over the u. S. That was the only sensor checked and replaced and my warranty is about done. Please investigate have 3 kids with special needs and I don't want accidents for anyone over this issue. My kids nearly lost me last year in a terrible accident. My vehicle was serviced oct. 2018.

While driving on county road I came to sharp curve with an incline. As I entered the curve the power steering stopped working, brakes were very hard to depress and the vehicle came to a stop and would not accelerate, the engine was still running. I was able to shut off the vehicle and turn it back on and it worked as normal.

Tl-the contact owns a 2016 Dodge Journey. The contact received NHTSA campaign number:18v332000 (electrical system, vehicle speed control) the vehicle was taken into the dealer dependable Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram 21415 roscoe blvd, canoga park, CA 91304 (818) 883-9060. For the recall repair, however, the contact now has experienced failures while driving at various speeds, the contact would smell an abnormal (burning). ( no smoke or flames). That also stated when the accelerator pedal is depressed the vehicle water temp overheat (stays on h) stalls on incline hill, the windows intermily seized without warning. The contact would have to turn the vehicle off wait for 10 min and resume back to normal. The dealer was contacted about the failure but no further assistance was taken. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 56,000. Ck.

The rear right side passenger window isn't working. For a while it was rolling up and down slowly, and seemed to be sticking. After a couple of weeks it got worse, we locked the windows and wouldn't allow the kids to roll down their windows. There were 3 times where we thought the window wasn't going to work at all. We were out of state and after rolling the window down it wouldn't go up. We had to park our car overnight two times at our hotel with the window down because it wouldn't go up. Just recently it stopped working all together. My son rolled the window down and had his upper torso (head) leaning out the window. We weren't in motion (parked) and the way his hand was positioned on the window button it pushed it up, it started rolling up and when he noticed he had got squished between the window itself and the upper frame of the door. He realized his hand was pushing on the window button and took his hand off and tried to roll it back down. . . . It wouldn't budge. He started yelling for us and we went and shoved the window down with our hands while trying to use the window button to roll it down, it moved very, very, slowly. We were able to get it all the way down and now it wont go back up. Its been rolled all the way down for 4 days now. Sigh. . . . . . . . . . Currently looking at mechanics to try and fix the problem.

The door locks continue to lock even if the key fob is in the vehicle. This happens especially in the mornings when it is cold.

Tl the contact owns a 2016 Dodge Journey. While driving on an incline at 25 mph, the vehicle lost power and rolled back into a ditch. There were no injuries. There were no warning indicators illuminated prior to the failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (vann underwood Dodge Chrysler Jeep, 501 s madison st, whiteville, nc 28472), but the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure occurred on numerous occasions. The manufacturer was not notified. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 36,300.

This is the second time my car has lost engine power, along with power steering and breaks. I pulled up to a light and stopped to turn right. I was on a busy surface street. As I tried to turn and accelerate I found the power steering was gone and that the car was rolling. All the car electrical I. E. Music , lights were on but the engine was dead. I hit the power button and the car started again. I will take this car into Dodge again but I suspect that they will tell me that they can't find anything wrong with the vehicle and send me home with it. This happened last year also and there has been no resolution.

Car has 20k miles, while driving the abs and traction control lights came on. Dealership discovered that, in addition to the abs and traction control, the airbags were not working. The dealership informed me that water bottles had rolled under the front passenger seat and broken the wires for the airbags. This is a 8 seat family vehicle and can be assumed that children would be in the back seat, therefore spills and/or trash are likely to role under the driver and front passenger seats, yet the wires in question or thin, fragile, and unprotected. Furthermore, I have never received any warning lights that the airbags were not functioning and have no idea how long the airbags have not been functioning. During a google search, I discovered that several older Dodge vehicles have been recalled for similar issue, yet Dodge refuses to acknowledge the design flaw. The wires under the passenger seat supposedly do not affect the abs and traction control, but I believe it is suspect that these issue occurred at the same time (and complaints on other Dodge vehicles have indicated that movement of the seats dislodged the wires and turned off abs and airbags). The dealership wants 300 dollars to fix the wires, but offers no way of preventing the problem from reoccurring. I have also found three safety recalls on this model that neither Dodge or their services providers have never informed me of! I believe this model needs to be closely inspected, as it already has three safety recalls in less than a year (not including this issue). I do not have pictures, but the dealership does.

I loose control of the windows most of the time. I had the main window control switch replaced, and the problem still did not go away, please help.

Headlights keep flickering while driving and park on high beams and low beams.
