1 Adaptive Cruise Control problem of the 2015 Dodge Journey

Failure Date: 11/25/2025

My abs, traction control light, and brake light are on on the dash. When I tried to use cruise control the other day it wouldn't turn off. Now it's not working at all and the brakes locked up in the rain the other day and as soon as it dried up outside the issue went away. But now the brake module under the hood seems to be leaking and my oil cooler on top of the engine.

5 Adaptive Cruise Control problem of the 2020 Dodge Journey

Failure Date: 07/04/2024

In July of 2024 I had to brake to avoid striking a deer. My abs and traction control light came on in the dash, and my cruise control stopped working. I took the vehicle to the dealership and they said the hcu and abs modules were bad, but the abs module was no longer made by Chrysler, and it wasn't available aftermarket. I contacted stelantis and they said the abs module was under "engineering review" and not available. I received an email in September indicating the part was now available and it was being shipped to my dealership. I never heard back from the dealership, and I called them back on December 17th. The parts manager said his computer indicated again that the part was unavailable and it had been discontinued on October 14th, 2024. He sent me a screenshot of the order screen showing the part was discontinued which I've attached below. I recontacted stelantis on December 23rd and they started another case (case #[xxx]) and a case manager would call me back within one working day. I called stelantis back on January 3rd and spoke with "edward" who said my case was never assigned and he was going to "expedite" the case (as every other person I had spoken to previously said) and that a case manager would contact me within one working day. As of now, I have not heard back. My abs brakes and traction control (federally mandated safety equipment since 1998) are inoperable and according to stelantis, the abs module is no longer made and there are no aftermarket replacements. My cruise control does not work either and I don't know if any of the other safety features are affected. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

7 Adaptive Cruise Control problem of the 2015 Dodge Journey

Failure Date: 01/15/2024

My traction control light, abs sensor light and brake indicator dash are on. My cruise control does not work. My mechanic says that it is the abs control module. There is a recall for this part, but not for my VIN number. The horn fuse had to be removed because the alarm would not stop going off, even when the alarm was not set. This is also associated with the ecm.

Failure Date: 08/14/2022

09 Dodge Journey 3. 5l v6 issues started the day after I bought the vehicle!! will cut off while driving, stall and cut off at stop lights, stop signs. Way too much heat coming from motor, ac compressor making allot of noise. Overheating issues, brake light switch issue. Cruise control malfunction, driver’s window switch and window not working. Rear tv stopped working after a snow storm, rear ac/ heater not blowing at all, cars won’t shift out of park at all. Headlights stopped working. All lights flashed on and off while driving down the freeway at 80mph, now it’s saying gas cap on dash, while driving to a job the timing belt broke after being replaced 2 months earlier, water pump is leaking after being replaced 2 months ago. Water soaking the passenger and backseat floorboards and I can’t figure out why. This is honestly the worst vehicle I’ve ever bought and I regret buying it at all every day. This vehicle should be outlawed and against the law to sell to anyone.

15 Adaptive Cruise Control problem of the 2016 Dodge Journey

Failure Date: 12/01/2020

Front blowers blow hot air when a/c is turned on, defrost won’t work in winter, the backup camera keeps going black and glitching when in reverse, my abs, traction control, and awd service keeps coming on, I have changed both front wheel sensors, wheel-barrings, brakes, and all new tires. It helped for a month no lights on and it drove amazing no issues and one day it started again and when I try to accelerate you can feel it not want to go, I hear a grind noise and then the car will jump super hard then the awd service will kick on and traction control turns off and it will drive fine again. I have 3 kids and do not feel safe anymore driving my car! im shocked there isn’t a recall on any of these issues considering there have and still are a lot of complaints on the same issues I’m having. Also cruise control won’t work. I seen it was recalled but previous owner had taken it in and got it replaced but it definitely is bad again. I know these issues can not be good on my car’s transmission or engine! please help me! I’ve filed a complaint before and heard from no one.
