I had purchased the vehicle in early April of 2024 from drive time in langhorne PA. I've had mechanical / engine issues since then.

My vehicle stopped working all together. It only has 45 thousand miles on it. The dealer found that the abs module shorted out and caused the whole car to loose communication. The dealer informed me that the replacement part was under review by Chrysler engineers and production has stopped so there is no replacement for this part and so I contacted Chrysler and was told that they don't have an estimated time for new part production. This issue is not only a financial concern but also a safety as my vehicle has no abs, lights and will not run and drive. I have a car that I cant even repair because of lack of part production so now I'm out financially as well with no idea on how long it will take to get repaired.

So on 7/1/24 our vehicle started overheating some. And then we had the check engine light to come on along with another light that looks like a lightning bolt inside an inside out parenthesis. So I research the symbol and it came back as an issue with the electric throttle control which is also means there is a problem with the electric parking brake. And then a mesage came on that said oil temp high speed may be limited. And then it started smoking really bad under the hood. So I researched some more and found out back in 2018 there was a recall on the same issue that was completed on September 23rd 2018.

Electronic stability control (esc), service brakes, hydraulic the light for the stability control came on and my brakes chatter feels like there's bumps on the disc . Its pulling to the right , . . Also my door locks have failed . First it started with my rear windshield wiper running with the switch off ,than my reverse lights and now the locks . The back door does not lock at all and the door locks work sometimes . The electronics on my car is failing @ 120,000 it started . Its now at 150,000 tried everything still wont work.

The back up camera does not display an image. It will only show black, with a camera slashed out symbol.

Pull over police officer stated said lights are to dim to be driving at night told me I need to have my lights checked out. While driving about 60- 62 mph the vehicle just shut down without warning trying push the accelerator it would not go no further stuck on interstate with emergency blinkers if could of cause bad accident or someone could of hit me without warning. Dodge Journey I need some assistance with my vehicle opposite site interstate.

In the midst of driving the red electric lightning bolt signal started flashing, seconds later the non-slippery signal came on and then the car started shaking/rattling. The gas pedal became hard to press and my car started slowing down in the middle of the street, forcing me to put the car in park in the middle of the street with my hazard lights on and turning the car off.

Today while driving on the highway at about 60mph my vehicle lost power causing the car to surge forward. I was unable to steer or brake for several seconds. The gauges completely dropped. It was as if someone had shut the vehicle completely off. The vehicle then restarted on its own. I was nearly rear ended by a semi and am terrified of driving this vehicle anywhere. I did a google search and came across numerous complaints of this happening. No warning lights prior to it happening or afterwards. We have had no issues with this vehicle until this point. It has approximately 90k miles on it.

I backed out of a parking spot at work and the backup camera was working fine. A little over an hour later I was backing out of the driveway and the backup camera display had rotated 180 degrees and was upside down. It has been upside down since.

No warning. Car caught on fire due to electrical issues in the back lighter port.

I believe the 2016 Dodge Journeys should be included in the 15v675000 recall. My passenger side floorboard was wet, mechanic changed filter but water can still be heard sloshing in the car. Since then, emergency brake, and check engine light will randomly turn on while I’m driving. The “service awd” and “service park assist system” notice will turn on when I start my car. Now, the car is not registering as parked. I can’t turn the car on and it goes into a security mode because I get a “car not in park” notice. I have had the car serviced and checked multiple times and no codes come up. I have the brakes checked when the light abs light flashes, no issues can be found.

When trying to start the car in the past every now in then I would get a one click and no start I tried to shift into neutral and nothing the same , I played with the button by turning g off and back on a few time and it would start and it started to get harder to get it to start and now it will only click and no start , I replaced the battery and starter was checked out and is good all battery ends are new and new battery cables , I know google is no auto mechanic but the post I have read there is a lot of Dodge Journeys that has this issue when I called Dodge I was told to bring it in and I will be charged , also about every 4th time I hit the door locks from the door as soon as the door shuts the horn beeps 3 times and all the doors unlock , need help please from what I am understanding it's something to do with the anti theft or the neutral safety switch inside the transmission ,.

I purchased my 2020 in April of 2021 brand new. When I’m driving my SUV, it will stall and not pick up speed, but my rpm still rise. Both of my front headlights fog all the time and have been replaced multiple times. The fog makes the lightbulbs blow and they have been replaced multiple times. The back up camera is turns upside down stops working when it wants to goes black and also has a green light. It was replaced by the dealership and started doing the same things again after one month. There is also an issue with my radio. It works when it once the volume stops working when he wants and the bluetooth works when he wants it has also been replaced by the dealership and now they won’t replace it again because it has been replaced.

The car will be driving and just completely shut off in traffic power steering locks up. You can’t get the car into park. The windshield wipers go crazy the screen goes black. It starts doing clicking sounds I had to have the firemen come and get me out of the road my car stopped since the second time this is so dangerous, they cannot figure out what’s wrong with it I replaced the battery @ the dealership, I’ve replaced the alternator at aamco. I bought this car in 2016 new off the lot. I’ve had many problems with the electrical. This is just the worst . My radio turns on and off at will . My driver side window will not roll down unless it’s below 30° outside which is super strange, and my air conditioning turns itself on turns itself off, but this was the scariest this is happened before last year and I had aamco look at the transmission. They said that the transmission had a lot of metal in it that they have seen a lot in these Dodges but they cleaned it out for me and it was fine, but this is the same thing that was happening and this is not a transmission thing this is a power thing it just loses power completely. My car only has 100,000 miles on it I’ve taken care of my car I’m the only owner. All those miles are highway miles from visiting family. I never drive my car anywhere further and then in my neighborhood which is a . 5 radius and I work from home so I rarely drive my car so 100,000 miles it isn’t a high number for a car that’s taken care of that isn’t driven often.

Component malfunction: abs control module (module is part of the electronic stability program and traction control system). Available for inspection: upon request. Safety risk: random locking of front abs system at speeds of 20mph or less (great concern for event happening at a greater speed ). Vehicle manufacturer: admits known risk and problem w/ the abs control module and traction control system and is researching problem-matic modules, but will they not issue a recall. Part is not available . Warning lamps were after the first event (3-13-24): esp and traction control. Videos are difficult to catch do to the random nature of the problem.

The actuator for cabin air engages when vehicle is completely off. This is due to a short in the electrical system, causing the actuator to function when power is directly applied. This could cause the electrical system to overheat and cause a fire.

I am currently having an issue where my climate control turns itself on even after I turn it off. Just recently my dual control for the climate would switch back to single even after selecting to have it dual. At this moment my air/heat is always on and I really have no need to keep the windows down unless it gets too warm and I need to let cooler air in.

Faulty keyless ignition node.

It started with third brake light out, then,tail wipers intermittenly work, then camera not working- had to have someone watch the back of car to see also right inside light out and tailgate wont lock with rest of doors after looking on youtube this has been going on since 2012.

Abs, brake, and traction light coming on coded c2200-49 told there was a recall and when I called the dealership they said it wasn't for my vehicle but they couldn't even order the part because they're having to replace them on so many and they are not in stock anywhere until after April 15th. If this has been an issue with other vehicles and is currently an issue with mine why is it not under the recall??? 2012 Dodge Journey sxt.

Won't start. Multiple repairs and it still happens. Online forums say it's common on 2009-2017 year models.

I will be driving the vehicle and it will go completely dark, no electrical function, shuts right off in the middle of traffic. After a period of time, everything will power back up. This happens randomly and is very dangerous. I took the car to the dealer and initially, they said it was the battery. I replaced the battery and just as I got in the car at the dealer, the car went dark again. This time they were able to see that it is still happening and so far they have not been able to find the cause. I've read online about at least 3 other people having the same issue with no solution found to date. Currently the vehicle is at courtesy Chrysler in tampa, FL.

The driver side window randomly stops working. The motor and the switches have been tested and are functioning correctly. There is no known cause at this time.

Unknown and my air bag light keeps coming on even though we have gotten the coolant fixed and a new/used engine put in the car, we replaced and got a new battery and new alternator in it to and the oil has gotten changed in it.

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.

Backup camera works when it wants to. Most times it's upside down, or staticky. Dealership says the only fix is to replace it, but we can't afford that. It's a safety hazard.

Under heavy braking conditions the vehicles abs system did not engage and the vehicle slid losing control. There was a safety recall r61 which was documented as completed 20 may 2016, but inspection of the abs ground wire shows it in its original position when compared to page 18 of the recall instruction. There has been no work on the abs module since the recall.

The car lost power and wouldn't speed up. Could have been rear ended. We had the abs light come on,the traction control light on, the air bag light on and a few more I didn't recognize they came on and went out so fast. Had to pull over and restart the car.

The contact owned a 2017 Dodge Journey. The contact stated that while driving at 70 mph, the instrument panel began to behave erratically, after which the vehicle inadvertently lost all motive power, prompting her to attempt to quickly veer to the shoulder of the roadway. As a result, the contact was side swiped by another vehicle on the driver's side. The air bags did not deploy. All warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard and deemed a total loss by the contact's insurance provider. A police report was filed, and injuries were reported. The contact transported herself to an area hospital and was treated for a nondescript injury to her right shoulder. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA campaign number: 18v332000 (electrical system, vehicle speed control), and the VIN was included, and parts were available. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 173,000.

Suddenly brown smoke came out when I started a car and tried to roll down the window. My husband pulled out the controller which seems to be the cause of the smoke from the wire.

The car will turn systems of the car off and own without anyone touching anything windows rolling up on their, traction turning off, and climate controls and a/c coming on by itself. I contacted stellantis last year about this vehicle and received no substantial resolution. This exact thing happened when I owned a 2014 Dodge Journey and I submitted the same complaint. I have taken video of this occurrence, there is no way to demonstrate issue via still photo.
