Intermittent problems with the car starting, lights will flicker and car will make clicking noise after the initial flicker. The car could take anywhere from a few minutes to 1 or 2 hours to start. While driving the car will start to shake and then shut off when slowing down or coming to a stop (red light or stop sign). The car sometimes won't start up or will immediately shut off again while in the middle of a city street. This is a safety hazard because we have toddler and soon to be newborn who will almost always be in the car.

Tapping noise under hood. Took to 3 different mechanics and each one told me this is a default with the manufacturer. Had oil change done and tappung noise still continues. The mechanics stated that the nosie is coming from the top and cost between $600-$3500 to have repaired. This happens all the tome when vehicle is running or idle.

Vehicle intermittently won't start at any given time when turning the ignition on it will just click. It may start up after 10 min 2hrs maybe not until the next day. My wife and I have been going through this since we brought this 2009 Dodge Journey new. We took it back to the dealer troy motor mall they could not pinpoint the problem and they charged us. Same problem later nothing changed. Did not start recently first week in October aaa tow truck came and the driver heard the clicking sound and indicated that it was the starter. I took the car in for repair that next week and had the starter replaced and in a few days it was not starting again. I went to the Dodge dealer today and I explained to them what I had been going through all of this time and he still indicated that it would be a $100. 00 to diagnose the problem. I looked up this issue on carcomplaints. Com and a person with the same issue indicated that their mechanic found it to be a faulty range sensor attached to the transmission complaint #143 under 2009 Dodge Journey won't turn over, engine won't start. There were quite a few other complaints concerning this same issue that's why it's hard for me to understand why there is no recall concerning this matter. When ever I get it fixed I'd like to be reimbursed by Chrysler Dodge.

The horn/alarm will sound randomly and for no apparent reason, often going down the road or in the middle of the night. The keyfob will lodge in and the entire electrical system is "dead". Replaced battery thinking it was battery issue. Entire electrical system is "dead" every few days. There is a strange drag/click sound when turning wheel. Many other electrical issues that are bizarre and completely random. At times you have to start, kill, restart engine and finally will go in gear. I keep checking for recalls as this appears, through multiple posts I have read, to be an issue with this year model. I can't afford to keep taking to dealerships for issues that clearly are related to the manufacturing of the vehicle.

The vehicle would'nt start was just making a clicking sound. Had it towed to the dealer and they said it was the battery . Replaced the battery drove home a week later same thing happend vechile wouldnt start had it towed back to the dealer where is resides now they stated its the tipm module they wanted $1,500 for the parts and labor I just bought this vechile from them in July 2014. They also stated they did'nt know when the part would come in since its on back order.

Vehicle started to have a clicking noise a month prior to failure. After a cold snap, the engine began running very roughly at start. Diagnostics show that the #2 cylinder is failing, and leading to weak air intake in cylinders #4 and #6. My research has indicated that Dodge is aware of thousands of complaints of a cylinder head failure in the engine in this model of car. These failures have lead to a nationwide shortage of the parts to fix the problem, I am currently 379th on a list requesting the parts to fix this problem. Dodge seems to be knowingly aware of a major design flaw and is offering no help to people like myself that are outside of warranty coverage.

I noticed over the weekend that the car started making a weird ticking noise. Also when put into reverse it seemed like it wanted to stall sometimes. I was driving to work and it started to buck and sputter. I was able to get it pulled over and there was smoke coming from under the hood. I had it towed to a garage where it was diagnosed with a cracked transfer case which came with a $2400 estimate! after doing a little research it sounds like this is a typical problem with this model and year and found many accounts on Dodgejourneyforum. Com. Sounds like a recall needs to happen before someone gets hurt if it hasn't happened already!.

My first complaint is that if my husband or myself accidentally hit the ignition switch while the car is in motion the car will shut off. In addition if this happens before we start driving the car will shut off and the dash board, the center console and the ac will all shut off. I have informed Dodge of this problem twice and have not gotten any correspondance in return. During the second call I was informed that if I did not have a recall notice sent to me that my car is not apart of any active recalls and therefore they cannot do anything for me. Secondally, just recently on 10/16/2014 while I was trying to take my 7 year old son to the er, my car would not start. I thought it could be the battery, but the lights and everything else was working. After several attempts and after me tapping the ignition switch the car finally started. Everything in the car comes on however, the car makes a clicking noise and does nothing else. A week later it did the same exact thing on 10/22/14. I looked online and all behold there are several complaints going back to 2009 there are also youtube videos. My question is why is Dodge not being held responsible for there negligence, cleary there is a known issue. What tragedy has to happen before Dodge does something to resolves these issues for their customers. I would also like to add that the Dodge Journey is by far the worst car that Dodge has ever produced!.

While driving to work the engine started making a clunking noise I stopped and checked under the hood the oil was very low it was not ready for an oil change yet and no lights came on I parked it and called to have it towed, the dealer says it is not covered under the factory warranty because it does not transfer from the original owner I bought it used, there is absolutely no reason for this to happen on a newer lower mileage car and to not have Chrysler stand behind it is unheard of. I have completed all required maintenance on a timely basis.

I have had 2010 Dodge Journey since may 2012 and needed to take car to dealerlship for atleast 4 different issues. However, the problem that occured on February 28, 2013 has me bewildered and very uneasy about driving with my family and ever ever purchasing a Dodge or Chrysler vehicle again-and the u. S. A. Wants us to buy and support american made products. On 02/28/12, I was rushing to get my son to a meeting and when we got out of car, locked the door and went in building. When we returned, put the key in ignition and just clicking noise with everything working except for the car cranking. I waited about 30 minutes and then tried to crank but no such luck. It was late in the evening, and here I am with my babies in the car, on a school night, and trying to call a tow. My cousin did come out, we attempted jumper cables and then went to get gas and it started. I went to the gas station to fill up just in case, ignition still on and the car cuts off and doesnt restart. I contacted a tow again and an hour and half later when tow arrived; it cranked for the tow driver. Once I got home and parked, the car would not start again. When my husband got home about 4hours later, it still would not crank. On 3/1/13 attempted to take kids to school and car would not start. It did finally crank after it was too late and we took to a licensed mechanic to complete a diagnostic. He kept all day testing and to no avail, no codes or problems appeared. It did crank but I'm very fearful of driving the car now with my family. I contacted several Dodge dealerships, Dodge customer service, and Dodge techauthority and no one seemed to know or have heard of the problem im having.

I purchased a 2010 Dodge Journey (used) in September, 2010. My problem first occurred in may, 2011. I went out to my car leaving work, and it would not start. Lights/horn/locks/radio all worked, but all I got when I turned the key was a clicking sound. At first thought, I figured the battery may have died and needed a jump-start. But this did not work. After trying for 1. 5 hours, I finally had the vehicle towed to a dealership. As soon as the vehicle was released from the tow truck, it cranked right up. I had the dealer run a full diagnostic check on it, since it was there and problem had occurred. But they found nothing wrong. I drove the car home, and the problem began to occur more frequently. It has occurred at least twice a week, with wait times varying. Sometimes it'll start after 5 minutes. Other times, I have waited 2-3 hours without it starting, and have been forced to have the vehicle towed. Over the past year I have driven (or towed) this vehicle back to my local Dodge dealership a 10 times! the most recent visit was on 7/29/12, when I paid to have the win module and key fob replaced, and it still doesn't work. I have been given several reasons for the problem, all of which they have supposedly fixed (either at the expense of my extended warranty or at my own expense). Other times, I have simply been told there is nothing they can do because they cannot duplicate the problem when they have it. I have filed 2 separate complaints with Chrysler corporation, but no help. I no longer feel safe driving this vehicle. I transport my 3 grandchildren on a daily basis (two 4-month old twins, born prematurely). I live in TX, where temperatures reach as high as 110+. I am very afraid of having my grandchildren in the car with me, and the car will not start for 2-3 hours, forcing us to wait in the 100+ temperatures to see if the car will decide to work. Please help!!!.

I bought my car December of 2010 and since owning it has been nothing but issues. I did have some things fixed right after purchase and others they said they saw no issue. My vehicle keeps loosing coolant and was overheating which not burnt my reservoir, my car doesn't always start which has happened since I purchased, door lock doesn't work on driver door, and horn was sounding while driving and alarm was constantly going off until I removed fuse, and fuse box always has a clicking noise. I am not the only one with issues with this vehicle I have seen manau with similar issues and they are all extremely dangerous especially with children in the car. Also my car made a terrible growling noise and I had transmission replaced. Please help get these investigated it's terrible. Never again will I purchase a Dodge or advise anyone to do so. Would be a great car if it didn't always have these issues. Just want problems addressed for all owners so they can enjoy a car they bought with their families.
