Cruise Control Problems of Dodge Journey - part 2

1) cruise control not working and only works when it wants or refuses to turn off this happens sitting still, driving or even if I turn off and on the car for reset it still does not work. The web shows a recall but the Dodge dealership said no recall? this has been on going since we purchased the car and has been in the shop numerous times to get repaired and still not repaired. 2) wheels shake while applying the brakes I have replaced the rotters and brakes and it still does it I see a recall on this also but Dodge says no recall? airbag deployment without cause the internet says recall and the Dodge house says no recall? this Dodge Journey has many problems and should be fixed by the company by recalls. They did not fix the 2010 and they found them selves in a lawsuit, maybe that is what it is going to take on the 2011 also.

"the car loses power unexpectedly while driving at various different speeds or sometimes just won't start after driving but if u wait twenty minutes it might just decide to restart, the ac sometimes will only blow out very hot heat, the cruise control won't turn off and has accelerated from being set at 55 to 75 on its own without being able to turn off, it has went into limp mode at several different speeds and in 2018 wouldn't turn off from in the run position in a result of a completely drained battery and was told engine needed to be replaced which I had replaced, the catalytic converter completely disconnected from the front which I also had replaced, wheel bearings bad costing numerous tire changes since purchasing it in 2013 until someone finally told me in 2020 what was wrong only at the cost of several tires and a wheel alignment, the stability warning light comes on and turns off randomly but if I try to push the button it won't turn it back on or off and the throttle control light comes on and car goes into limp mode drives like this for a day then can go days or months with all warning lights turning off and car runs just fine until it decides to do anyone one of these problems! I have told the dealership that the vehicle has a malfunctioning computer since purchasing it in 2013! the vehicle is unsafe lemon! it has caused me anxiety, and repeated traumatic events of almost getting into an accident or being left stranded for hours! I go into a store and I panic never knowing if the vehicle will start or decide to act possessed!" I recently went to a Dodge dealership to get the safety recalls done on the vehicle and Dodge has informed me they will not do the recalls because I have replaced the engine! the safety recalls must be done and if they can't do it then they need to provide me w a new vehicle free of charge or give me the money back I paid!.

I was driving at 830pm and had at least 120 miles on the same road and set the cruise control to 68mph, the legal speed was 65mph and there was light traffic. As my car approached a small hilly incline, it failed to maintain the 68mph, dropping to 60mph, and then upon reaching "the top" it accelerated rapidly reaching high rpms roughly 5500 6000 and over compensating to as much as 77 before slowing down to the preset speed. After doing this 3 more times, I pulled over turned off the car and started it up, hoping it may just be a quick fix. It once again did it and I refrained from using the cruise control for the remainder of my trip. On my way back, I once again tried the cruise control again and saw the same results. Upon returning home I called my dealer and they told me they would look at it at my next appointment which was 10 days later. 2 days prior to me bringing in the car, I tried it for a third time, this time set at 45mph, same as legal speed limit, while continuing up from a parkway onto a bridge entrance, the car did it again and nearly sent me flying into the back of a truck but I was able to break fast enough to slow down and do a minor swerve within my lane to avoid it. This was immediately followed by a low engine coolant warning and I pulled over as soon as possible. The coolant reservoir was well above the minimum level, however had orange coolant on top of it. I cleaned up what I could and did below speed limit home. This was my second issue with the coolant warning, at 1150 miles I brought it in and the dealer found no codes that it even occurred and therefore did not fix a thing. Upon dropping off my vehicle, they did not seem at all concerned and thought I was making it up. I do not feel safe in my own car.

The manufacturer was not notified of the issue. The failure mileage was 33,000 and the current mileage was 36,600.

The cruise control on my 2010 Dodge Journey surges / jerks / and rpm increases considerably when engaged and going downhill. On flat surfaces it seems to work correctly , however there has been two occasions, just recently, when my wife was operating the vehicle to and from work at mississippi state university, that has us alarmed. The distance is approximately 30 miles one way and there are only 3 short downgrades that this occurred on. This problem does seem to be increasing over the last few weeks. Thank you for any consideration pertaining to this problem. I have replied about this problem and apparently there are others with this same problem that has been classified as "no fix". If I could I would return this vehicle to the Dodge dealer because there has been nothing but problems with this vehicle. This has now become ,yet another separate problem, with the possibility of endangering our lives. I personally will not purchase another Chrysler product.

I own a 2010 Dodge Journey. Whenever the cruise control is engaged and the car's speed increases to a speed of approximately five miles per hour over the cruise control setting, when you are traveling downhill, for example, the car will violently downshift and the engine's rpms will rise to over 5000 rpms unless you disengage the cruise control. The downshift is violent and could result is a loss of control if you are on a less than a clear, dry road surface. The car was taken to the dealership and we were told that the issue was known but no fix was available. I was told not to use the cruise control unless there were dry driving conditions. My concern is that there may be hidden damage done to the car due to the violent nature of the shifting and I may lose control, even on dry surfaces as the shifting is surprising and violent.

The contact owns a 2010 Dodge Journey sxt. While the contact was driving approximately between 50-55 mph with the cruise control activated, the rpms increased up to 400 rpms excessively. The transmission also began to shift into a lower gear. When the cruise control was deactivated the vehicle performed normally. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where they were unable to duplicate the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 500.

I am sending via u. S. Mail a copy of letter and service department record for problem with cruise control on my a 2010 Dodge Journey that I purchased three months ago. At this time according to the dealer there is "no fix" for this problem and I am concerned that the malfunction could lead to injury to myself or others. A detailed letter is in the mail and should arrive at your facility later this week. There was a problem with the cruise control while driving down an incline. The transmission would downshift and the engine revved with the rpm's rising to 2500-4000 and would probably go higher if the consumer did not disengage the cruise control and step on the brake to get the rpm's down and the engine under control. The vehicle sounded as though it was in neutral . The consumer was advised to not use the cruise control on hilly areas. Updated 04/12/10.
