First it was all the lights on my dashboard would stay on. My usb and charging ports would go out. Every once in while my digital speedometer would randomly start doubling my speed. I took it in to the dealership. They apparently replaced the part needed. That seemed to fix that problem at least for now. But now the speedometer here and there will act up again. When it does , it's almost as if the engine is working against me to go. It feels like it tries to stop me when I am pressing the gas to go. It does not do this all the time. But it is more frequent than usual. We just purchased this vehicle a little less than two years ago. It started off with minor things , but now seems to be turning for the worse. I am concerned of it go out all together completely. Dealership we went to made it seem like it was nothing. But being a daily driving I know otherwise.
500 miles out of 36,000 mile warranty the airbag light came on. When checked by a mechanic it had the following error code, b1c29, left side seat thorax squib 1 circuit open. Chrysler is refusing to repair as a safety issue. The light first appeared intermittently upon ignition but now remains on whenever the car is started and running.
Air bag light comes on and stays on for a few days. After a few days the light doesn't come on and it then it come back on. When it does light up it dings. The a/c automatically turns on after I turn it off and the touchscreen starts to flicker when that happens. This has been occurring since 2/18/2020.
The airbag light continues to come on while driving or once the car is started. It will stay on for a few days and then go off. When it comes on while the car is driving it will ding and stay on for days. The air conditioner/ heater jumps on and off while driving. It will be off and automatically jump on. I will turn it off and then it will jump on again. These issues were "fixed" by a Dodge dealership in may and are still reoccurring.
My 2017 Dodge Journey keeps going through batteries. 1st one at April 2018. 2nd one Jan 2020. Dealership just keeps put batteries in . Not fixing problem. On Dodge forum other people are having same problems.
After 65,500 miles, my two year old Dodge Journey has a catastrophic failure. The hydraulic pump blew and caused complete damage to the transmission costing me $3500 to get the complete transmission rebuilt. It's ridiculous this is happening to a 2 year old car with only 65k miles on it.
There have been several occasions where my headlights and tail lights have went out while I was driving and I got pulled over the other night for no headlights or tail lights for it being a hazard. I work night shifts and I need my headlights and tail lights unless I am in a dimly light area and I dont know of they are on or not and I dont get no warning of when they are off. That is why im filing this complaint.
My wife went to start the Journey, car won't start brakes won't press down all I hear is clicking sound like the car wants to start but won�t, look for help online what I get is that it's a security issue that has the car locked tried to over ride by disconnecting the positive cable to reset but nothing, I understand that this is a common problem with Dodge vehicles.
There bag light has come on at about 35,000 miles and has not went off. The a/c and heat keeps coming on whenever it wants no matter how many times I turn it off I have went up to Dodge multiple times and nothing has happened as I am over the 30,000 miles and to be charged 200 just to see what the problem is and then charge me even to fix it is ridiculous. The airbag light came on while I was driving and I pulled over and turned the car and turned it back on and it was still on.
Tl the contact owns a 2017 Dodge Journey. While driving 30 mph, the steering seized without warning. The brake pedal was depressed, but the vehicle failed to respond and stalled. The contact was able to restart the vehicle after several attempts. The vehicle was taken to earnhardt Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram (located at 1521 e drivers way, gilbert, az 85297, (480) 926-4000) where it was diagnosed that the map sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred several times. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 41,000.
My air keeps coming back on , not matter how many times that I turn it off. It comes back on by itself. The transmission slips and jerks on the back roads, highway and interstate. My husband has called jim cogdill Dodge and keeps getting the run around about the situations. The air is an electrical issue which can cause a fire if left like it is. I was told by the salesman that he would get back to me in a couple of days. That is not professional and is very dangerous for everyone in my vehicle.
I had my Journey parked in the driveway, grabbed my purse and my daughter and, headed out to run errands. I drove to my destination, turned off the car and went to lock it from the outside door handle. There were no beeps and the doors wouldn't lock. I checked my purse and the entire inside of the car, no key fobs were found. I got in the car and it started up again. Afraid to leave the car in the parking lot, I called my husband who confirmed that both my set of car keys and his set of car keys were at home on the key hook. I'm extremely puzzled as to how my car started without the key fob, let me drive it without warning me there was no key fob in the car, and then let me restart it several times without the key fob. We just purchased this car used a month ago, and the sales person gave us both key fobs. I tore the car apart, glove box, center console under seats, everywhere and no other key fob has been found. My husband brought me my car keys and I stood 20 feet away and the car still started without the fob in the car.
The steering locks up like it's power steering but it's not I lose all control of acceleration the only way to regain control is to put the car in park turn it off turn it back on sometimes it doesn't want to start right back up this has happened four times while my kids are in the car and while in motion and the dealership can't find anything wrong with it all they do is update the computer.
Went to get in car didn't open, had to use the key, tried to start the car it didn't ,had to use the key, put the car in reverse as we were backing up and all of the sudden the car went forward and ran into a concrete pillar in a parking garage, the car was parked.

Vehicle makes a ticking noise while playing the radio and or driving on the freeway and going over 60 mph. There is also loud banging noise on the driver side passenger seat as if air or something is hitting the vehicle. Tired don't hold pressure and driving at times seems uneven or off track as well.
This is the second Dodge Journey now that I have owned and both of them have electrical problems with the back tail lights as well as the rear windshield wipers left tail light and both of my vehicles. Also with my second Dodge Journey with both of the cars I have transmission problems as well and I also have airbag warning always going off of my card when I make turns. So what the transmission it spiders as you are driving I have taken it to a dealership and it said that there is three recalls but for some reason on your website it shows no recalls also what the windshield wipers in the rear only I put it at my car in reverse and all sudden they turn on by themselves and they'll stay on and don't want to turn off until it feels like turning off but my left tail light does not work at all I've had the vehicle now for two years and I've had to switch about 12 lights and now to where none will not work at all and for the airbag warning system no one will be sitting in my passenger seat and when I'm making a turn all of sudden my airbag alarm will be going off.
This was a rental car from avis. While driving at approx 70mph with the cruise control engaged, the windshield wipers came on by themselves, all dial instruments went to zero and all the electronic alerts (oil, over heat, tire pressure, etc) annunciated. The throttle remained locked at the cruise setting and would not disengage with activation of the brakes or cruise control button. I was able to over power the engine with the brakes and get the car to the side of the road. It was still running at an engine speed to support 70mph and fighting the brakes. The push to start/stop engine control would not work. I eventually got the car into just rap and then park. At this time, it would not turn over. A weaker person would most certainly been involved in a bad accident. I was concerned the car would catch on fire as the brakes smoked significantly. Tom kraft 316-573-8830.

The contact stated that there was a progressing failure with there being a delay when the push to star function was used, air in the brakes when the brake pedal had been applied and the cruise control failed to function to the contact stopped using the feature. Months later, the contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 18v332000 (electrical system, vehicle speed control) and the dealer goldy Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram (187 kinetic dr, huntington, wv 25701) indicated that they would schedule an appointment for the recall repair June 27th. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was waiting to determine if they may provide further testing and diagnosis recommendations to the dealer in addition to the recall repair. The approximate failure mileage was not available. Dyd.
