My car has an intermittent problem with starting. I have only had this vehicle for 6 weeks and it has failed to start on many different occassions. I have had it towed to the dealership two separate times and they tell me they don't know what's wrong with it. I figured out that when my car won't start, while in park, I can turn the key to the on position and move the shifter into neutral. It starts at this point. Each time that my vehicle has failed to start, it has been in park in my driveway, on a slight incline.

Car will not start, only clicks. Sounds come from the stereo. This has been an intermittent problem for about 5 years (I bought the car new in December 2009). I have replaced the battery twice. This problem has gotten worse, as it happened yesterday and again today. It jumps easily.

Car will not start at times, have to let sit for about an hour before it will start. Have been having issue for months. Changed battery but that has not helped. I have power to the car but the engine will not turn over. Sensor in steering wheel for airbag is also loose, light comes on and off.

Came out from the store and tried to start my car and it wouldn't start. The engine won't even crank. It is apparently a known issue that the manufacturer refuses to do a recall for.

I have a 2015 Dodge Journey that has had major problems with it. Before the car was even a year old it was taking into the shop for transmission problems. The car completely shut off on me while driving in the middle of a busy intersection while I was turning left. The car would not restart and had to be towed to the dealership. At that point, the service was escalated to a higher department and a high level repair person was brought in. Less than 15,000 miles later, the car began heavily shaking every time it was driven. The find was that there was a missing bolt in the tie rod. The service man said there was no reasonable excuse that could explain how this would even occur. Today, the car is in the shop for the second time in three days. Initially for the batter light coming on while driving. I was told there was a loose wire and some corrosion on the batter but that it was repaired. Less than 24 hours later then light came on again while driving this time with the warning on the panel that read battery saving mode. I immediately returned the car to the shop. Waited all day yesterday only to be given the same explanation that was previously given. Upon further probing I discover the car had never even been re inspected. The car continues to be in the shop has has been undrivable for 4 days now. I have a 6 year old sone who is transported in the vehicle daily. I'm beginning to fear for his safety in the car given its history and will no longer place him in harms way by driving in this car. The unbelievable serious problems that have occurred with this vehicle are alarming. Especially, given the fact that there is no clear explanation as to why the issues are arising. These are not normal wear and tear complications. These are serious manufacturing issues.

After buying the car from the dealer we drove home and stopped to get gas. The car would not start. Finally after locking and unlocking the doors it started. Since then every day I drive it I continually have issues with it starting. Once while driving down the road it shut off and stopped. Almost caused an accident. Now I can not even get it started. I have a baby and rhought this would be a perfect vechile. I can nit trust it for the safety of my child and myself. I can not be stranded in the arkansas heat with a vechile that repeatedly has issues with starting or keep running while driving. I have had it checked and no one xan find an issue with the car. Very concerned with safety of car. Very disappointed.

An unknown issue is completely draining the battery. Thus, rendering the truck inoperable. The auto door locks would not work and the vehicle would not start. The first occurrence took place roughly two months ago. The service department at darcars temple hills, MD, tried to convince me that I left my truck running. This time, same exact issue took place.

On several occasions, my Journey has just shut down while in motion. This has happened to me and my husband. Lights go off, engine will not start, cannot push the brake to initialize startup. Online I have found many others with the same problem. Some believe that it is related to the key fab. The electronics key is not being recognized and shutting down the car. I took it to Dodge dealer and of course they could not duplicate problem or get a code. However, the danger of this is unacceptable!! I have two boys under the age of four! will a death have to occur to investigate this!?.

My Journey doesn't want to start. According to the mechanic it's the module that doesn't read the key. We had our family vacation in baja California and we were stranded there because my 2012 Dodge Journey wouldn't start.

On July 22, 2017, I tried to start my car and it wouldn't start. I called a tow truck company and they tried to charge the vehicle to no avail. They towed the vehicle to kendall Dodge Chrysler and Jeep. The vehicle sat at the dealer for over 8 days. When I received the vehicle back it still had electrical issue. I took the vehicle back in and they repaired the electrical issues again. In February of this year the while I was driving with my four kids in the car (2 of which are under the age of 3) the antilock brake light turned on and the car stopped on its own. After accelerator was tough to touch. I took the car to the dealer and they told me the car was no longer under warranty and I will have to pay for the repairs. I called Dodge directly and they called the dealer and the told them to repair the car. The dealer still gave me a hard time and would not give me a rental car. They made me call Dodge again and have them authorize a rental. The car is now giving me electrical issues again along with the antilock brake light turning on sporadically and when I called Dodge directly they told me they are going to send a tech to check the vehicle out. If they can recreate the problem then I would have to wait for the problem to happen again. I can not wait for the antilock brakes to lock up again with my kids in the car. The vehicle clearly has a recurring electrical issue that can not be fixed. This vehicle is a danger to me and my family it is a time bomb waiting to explode with the antilock brake locking up while I'm driving or even parked in my driveway. I contacted Dodge and expressed my issues with this car being a lemon and they want me to continue to try to fix the problem and continue to endanger my life and my kids life.

My 2009 Dodge Journey will not shut off when you take the key out. The windows will not go up and down. I brought into a Dodge dealership and had the recall on the ignition switch and the wiring harness in the driver door replaced. My car still will not shut off and windows still don't work but now won't go into gear after dealer repaired. I took it to a second dealer and now after 3 week they are saying I need a tipm for $1700. But they don't know if that will fix the problem? plus now the car will not start. My car is in worse shape then when I brought it into the dealership to repair? I called the corporate office and they are not willing to do anything.

I have had several incidents with this vehicle. On two different occasions as I was driving, as I began to brake, I lost all power and on two other occasions the vehicle wouldn't start and I had to call to get a jump, but was told my battery is good both times. The last incident happened on 4/23/2017 at 8:30 pm est. I got in to start it, but it wouldn't start and I called a service tech, who came out to jump start it, only to tell me that my battery is fine and that according to his equipment working properly. He was unable to start the car; however, I started it without incident this morning, but who knows how long before it wont star or just stops running as I'm driving and I lose lights, brakes, etc.

Now my gear shift does not want to shift into gear, start the car up the cas traction light is on and the gear will be stuck.
