The air bag warning light is on. Have to take it to a dealer to find out what's wrong. Also the oil filter manifold cracked and leaked oil. Had to get it replaced.

Bought the 2013 Dodge Journey brand new on March 2013. My Journey only has less than 21,000 miles on it and yet the v6 misfires causing the gas to fill the (all the way to the muffler) back and front (engine) of the vehicle, I found this out when I turn on my car Saturday morning, the car started shaking and I could smell the gas fumes filling up the inside if the car. I drop it off to the repair shop and I was told, I was lucky that it didn't caught on fire.

My engine light came on about a year ago. The light came on while I was driving on a city street. I have taken it to 3 mechanics, replaced the exhaust manifold 2 times and the light keeps coming back on. There's a recall on vehicles for 2011, but not for 2009. Per alex at the Dodge dealership, they don't know what's wrong.

When driving, engine light consistently came on. Had vehicle repeatedly checked. It was determined manifolds were sticking. Had manifold module replaced. This solved the problem for approximately 3 months. Manifolds were again checked to ensure they were operating properly. They were and still are. However, engine light remains on indicating otherwise. Mechanic said it is a common "fluke" in the Chrysler vehicles.
A plastic piece hold two male hoses together melted from the heat of the engine's manifold causing the engine to reach possible damaging temperature due to the loss of coolant. The vehicle was being driven on the highway and street before the vehicle started to steam from coolant loss onto the manifold. The plastic piece that melted was enough to cause a small fire on the manifold.
This 2010 Dodge Journey sxt which was delivered to me on 18 March 2010. On 19 July 2010 I had to take this vehicle to tucson Dodge when the check engine came on and the vehicle commenced to shudder. Examination by the service department found that the # 1 cylinder was misfiring and the intake and exhaust valves were not sealing properly. Also, the lower intake manifold plug was seeping coolant. The expansion coolant tank was leaking at the seam. These problems necessitated the replacement of the entire right cylinder head assembly and lower intake manifold,and expansion coolant tank. After repair and return of the vehicle to me, 26 July 2012 , upon starting the vehicle a distinct clicking noise was heard . Which I reported to the service department who were quite dismissive about it . On or about 27 August I returned to the dealership the clicking was getting louder and the vehicle was shuddering again. This necessitated a second engine repair. "the rocker arms are walking due to worn blocks and rockers". Ergo the left and right bank rocker arms/shafts/tappets had to be replaced. Chrysler has failed. Neglected and refused to replace the engine in its entirety despite my demand that they do because of repeated documented defects therewith. This engine should not have been broken down and repaired. Evidence the second engine parts failure. Also, why should the blocks be worn at 32k miles? I am thinking that they were worn when they were put in at the factory and an inspector missed this if in fact they were even inspected at assembly. I have absolutely no confidence in the roadworthiness of this vehicle. This engine presents a serious threat to the safety and wellbeing of me and/or my wife and grandchildren while we are out in the vehicle. I am concerned that the engine next will seize or shut down putting me or them in harms way without warning. ## VIN passed ## Dodge Journey sxt 2010 ##.
