general problems of the 2017 Dodge Journey

Catalytic converters on these models are failing too. There are recalls on the other 2017 Dodge Journeys, please add this model too them ASAP its dangerous and we use this to transport kids. Thank you photos of failing codes available upon request.

My check light came on and when I check the code which was a p0420, catalyst system efficiency below threshold (bank 1). Emissions recall u67: catalytic converter efficiency. This was part of the recall. Therefore it doesn’t meet the CA emissions standard. It is causing my vehicle to slightly overheat at standstill. It’s hasn’t been inspected yet and it has been over a month since this started happening to the vehicle.

My family has two Dodge Journeys both 2017s. The catalytic converter code keeps popping on our cars. Other years of Dodge Journeys and other Dodge vehicles have had recalls for those but not ours. Seems suspect to me that we would have two Dodge Journeys that are popping for the same codes, and this seems to be a issue in other Dodge Journey years previously.

My wife and I each have a 2017 Dodge Journey. Both of our vehicles have now shown codes for catalytic converter issues. Previous years of Dodge Journeys have been recalled for similar issues, but not ours at least not yet. I don't think it's right that we should have to repair on two cars the exact same issue that is reported for other Journey years.

The contact owns a 2017 Dodge Journey. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, several unknown warning lights were flashing on the instrument panel. The contact stated that after receiving an oil change, the engine oil was low within a week. The vehicle was initially taken to an independent mechanic where the oil level was topped off, and the contact was informed that the engine oil cooler needed to be replaced. The vehicle was taken to a dealer and the contact was informed that oil was leaking onto top of the transmission and that the engine oil cooler needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 74,000.

Didn’t get into accident but a couple months ago my car wouldn’t start , wouldn’t try to the lights wouldn’t come on nothing. Someone cleaned battery terminal it started . Now randomly sometimes it won’t start it will try but won’t so I put it neutral and barley push it toward put it back in park then it will start .

I am so not happy with jacob conlon who works at Mitsubishi in la porte. I realized that he was playing with me all the time and that he never repaired my SUV until I found out from danny who works at Dodge.  I dropped it off at service and picked it up more than 5 times  because jacob never repair it .

The contact owns a 2017 Dodge Journey. The contact stated that while driving at 70 mph, the instrument cluster was flickering, and the vehicle stopped. The contact pulled over and noticed smoke. The contact opened the hood and detected a fire. The contact extinguished the fire with some water he had. There were two unknown warning lights illuminated. There were no reported injuries, a police report, or an air bag deployment. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 44,000. The VIN was not available.

The vehicle shuts off while driving. It has occurred 6 times over the course of a year. It results in a total loss of power, steering, brakes creating a very unsafe scenario. It has happened 5 times while doing above 35 mph and in one case above 50 mph and resulting in one missed stop sign. This creates a tremendous level of anxiety. I have taken it in on four occasions to reputable repair facilities christian brothers automotive for repair three times soon to be four times and carmax once. Three times I was turned away with no help only inspection fees. The fourth time christian brothers replaced cam shaft sensors only to have another incident while driving 40mph down the road. Thankfully I was able to stop safely and now I have another appointment scheduled for service. I feel like there is a safety miss on this vehicle.

I bought my 2017 Dodge Journey in September 2021, as I was driving home I noticed an issue with acceleration. I would have my foot on the throttle and the vehicle would seemingly convulse, like accelerate then bow down and repeat. I brought it back to the dealership and they kept it for a week and returned my vehicle stating they couldn't figure out the issue. To this day it still does the same thing! its so dangerous especially when pulling out from a stop sign or a highway into flowing traffic. Sometimes my car will accelerate great! mostly its slow and harsh when im on the throttle. Only stops when I release the gas petal or floor it. . . Not safe the dealership.

My engine light came on my vehicle and the dealership says it’s a catalytic converter problem and I need a new one. That part apparently is recalled on other vehicles but not on mine for the year 2017. But other vehicles are having issues with that part as well and the dealership says the manufacturer should pay for it since it’s recalled but the manufacturer told me no due to not being in a certain year. I have kids and need my car.

The vehicle wouldn’t start, just kept idolizing. After trying for 10 minutes then getting a new key battery, the vehicle started then engine light was on. A code for crankshaft was on. But then check engine light went off by time I was home. Car broke down in middle of road. Wheel and breaks locked up which was very unsafe with my kids in car and I was unable to move it till tow truck came. Vehicle started working once it was at the auto repair shop. So we had him change the fuel pump because nothing else would show was wrong with the vehicle. Then 5 days later it broke down again. It is now back at the auto repair with no code showing.

The contact towed the vehicle to an independent mechanic and was informed the engine was needing to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was towed back to her residence. The contact called the local dealer and made them aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact also informed the air bag on the front passenger headrest deployed independently. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 122,000.

I took my car in for an engine knocking noise and was told that my motor needs to be replace. I was told that they have recalled all the other motors that were made during this time period but mine is not part of the recall. They have attempted it is a known issue with the cylinder that were put in the 2. 4 l motors but will not help me in fixing the issue because they don't have my motor on recall. My is the e5 and the motors that they have recalled are the e4 and e6 motors that were put into the jeeps and the Chrysler but they have not recalled the Dodges motors.

It shows a recall 18v-332 u49 on 5/17/18 I purchased this car 1/17/20 it does not appear this work was completed I am still having this problem (ecm) can someone please help.

Catalytic converter. Emissions. 2011-2016 Dodge Journey were recalled.

Several lights came on the dashboard including the electronic traction control and the electronic throttle control causing the vehicle to completely stole on the freeway with no power and could only go 25 mph. This along with repeatedly accelerating as I was trying to stop caused nearly an accident .

Rocker arms are loose needing replaced. Transmission is almost locked up.

While I was driving on the freeway, a red battery image displayed on the menu center screen. Next day had it checked, was told all was fine,everything check out. . A week later was on freewayagain,headlights flicked, radio went dead(display &sound) twice, engine bogged down briefly. Car is in shop now. . Two days. And no accurate diagnosis. . This is obviously a well-documented problem with this model of vehicle. . Has this caused death? will it lead to death, yes, is there help for the consumers?? I'm aware of numerous electronical problems with these and other Dodge vehicles. As I have owned one in the past with a similar problem. That cost me thousands , and could not be fixed, even by a tech from corporate out of state. . Now with my current situation how can I be confident on the road? also why, when the dealership know(for a fact) their vehicles have these issues. They charge a $180. 00 diagnostic fee, that can not be applied to repair. . Unfair and criminal to put vehicles on the road they know are faulty. . Faulty as in electronic issues that no one can pinpoint. . And it appears that if they throw enough parts at it, maybe that will work. . . These issues must stop!!.

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.

I was driving on briarcliff rd and my car cut off while it was on (run) it was in motion. Everything locked. The brakes, gas the steering wheel. I sat there I almost was hit. I kept trying to press the gas and brakes but it wouldn't push down. I could not believe it I was scared and panicked. I then cut the car off and it cut on I immediately started driving toward home.

Tl-the contact owns a 2017dodge Journey crossroad (fwd). The contact stated that while approached an intersection stop sign, while making a left hand turn the check engine, traction control warning light illuminated. The contact managed to veer to the shoulder of the road put the car in park turn the vehicle off and back on which resume back to normal. The vehicle was taken to the dealer woody folsom Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram 1859 golden isles w, baxley, GA 31513 (888) 283-8230 where it was diagnosed tcm and pcm needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. However, the failure recurred intermittently. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The contact mentioned NHTSA campaign number: 18v332000 (electrical system, vehicle speed control) as a possible solution to the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 35,000. Ck.

Engine light appeared on the dash and I immediately noticed that the car was hesitating and felt as it was losing power while accelerating. I then took it into an auto repair shop and was informed that my catalytic converter needed to be replaced and was over $800 in repairs. While researching online, I came across a recall for the same exact issue on the 2011-2016 series of the Dodge Journeys. I feel as if the 2017 series should be included as well.

While driving at aprox 25 mph on a slight bend in the road and slightly accelerating, I realized my engine had died when it stopped accelerating. Electrical was still working, but the engine had shut off. I was able to coast to the side of the road, turn on my hazards, and put the vehicle in park. I waited about 20 seconds, then attempted to turn the engine back on. The engine started with no trouble and with no further incidence.

While driving on a highway the speed of traffic was increasing but after stepping on the accelerator several times I discovered the vehicle was not responding. The engine had died with no warning lights displayed. I lost power steering and power brakes. Once I got the vehicle stopped I put it in park, stepped on the brake and pushed the ignition button and the vehicle started. The vehicle is about six months old with around 10,000 miles. The next morning we took it straight to the dealership but because there were no warning lights or codes displayed they said there was nothing they could do.

Tl the contact owns a 2017 Dodge Journey. While driving 80 mph, the vehicle decelerated and almost crashed in the middle of rush hour traffic. The vehicle came to a stop and lost power twelve times. Also, the check engine indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to walker jones Jeep, Dodge, ram (2730 memorial dr, waycross, GA 31503, (912) 584-1166) where the vehicle was diagnosed, but the codes could not be read. The vehicle was repaired over three times, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was not repaired again. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The failure mileage was 32,543.

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.
