My 2009 dodge journey vehicle is possessed as it sometimes leaves us stranded after running out on a short errand, so after stopping and parking the vehicle for short period of time then it will not start. We've tried to electrically jump the battery but this has no effect. It seems if you give it some time, perhaps to cool off like 30 minutes the car will start again. We've replaced the battery three (3) times in the past 18 months but the problem continues. The electrical power windows will not open but then they do. The fobix key's keyless entry does not work sometimes, the parking lights are found on when everything is off. The wireless ignition node and it's matching fobix keys have been replaced three time to no avail.

A lot of electrical issues with my jorney, no injuries so far but now am afraid to drive my car very far distances. My electric door locks do not always work and they clatter we have replaced 3 door actuators and the passenger door is now acting up again and one of the windows don't work anymore, I try to start my car and it just clicks and nothing happens, I usually sit there a mintue and try again still nothing so I wiggle the gear shifter and it starts! My drive train started leaking and when we called the dealer they said that it no longer was covered because 5 years start when you take possession of the car so we where a couple months past so we had to pay 450.00 to have the seals replaced. We took the car in for the required 75,000 mile check and they said everything was fine. We have 81,000 miles all hwy miles on our journey and it is due for tires this will be our 4th set. All the paint is peeling off the mirrors and front bumper. I have leather seats and the driver seat is splitting. We have taken very good care of our journey, serviced it regularly and was so happy to have our bank loan paid off but now with all the recall for ignition and the other problems we've had I now want to get rid of it, I need to contact the dealer for the xurrent ignition recall but the closest dealer I'd great falls mt and we have had bad service from them. I will not buy another dodge

2009 dodge journey has a recall ( l25) on the win module detent ring , this vehicle was sold to me by a dealership in 2012 with nothing showing on the car fax of this recall. The recall cause the key to slip from the ignition and completely shutting the car down while moving. The key inadvertently moves and the engine shut down , depowering the air bags, power steering and power braking. When initially calling in the complaint , chrysler/ dodge explained that there is no fix or part yet available. I further explained as a single mother this was a huge safety hazard , because in multiple occasions I have been on a freeway or street and almost rolled into another car , rolling down backwards on a freeway ramp unable to brake or telephone pole. Dodge/chrysler stated I would just have to wait or take it to a dealership for a temporary fix.( this same temporary fix is noted in the dodge dealer system not to put in the newer year parts into an older model car ) after calling and going up to their recommended dealerships for dodge the service department states they have their hands tied because there is still no part available for the year of my car. They also stated I would have to pay out of pocket almost 700 dollars for a temp fix using a newer model car that may or may not fix it . I am completely terrified to drive my car that I have to continue to pay on and dodge/chrysler is completely brushing off the issue. God forbid if we are harmed or eventually in an accident waiting 3 years later for a repair for this vehicle part.
Safety recall on chrysler. Upon starting your vehicle the frequency operated button ignition key (fobik), may not fully seat in the "on" position. *mw the consumer was informed the part was not available.
I just bought this car in july 2014 used with 56,000 miles on it. And I already had it in the shop just in the beginning of august because there was a knocking noise coming from the engine. It sounded like a normal "morning knock" but it was always there and when you drove it sounded worse. I have not started my car all day today, then when I went to go somewhere I tried to start my car and it just gave me tick noises it would not turn over. I know the battery wasn't dead because the car door was open and there was the ding noises and the lights were all on in the car when the doors were open. Now I have gotten the vehicle to turn over, but with a 1 year old I am terrified to drive my almost new car! I need something fixed.
My vehicle will turn off as I am driving and sometimes the car will not start, it will click and only after me switching my gear into neutral and starting the car again will it start. I have literally seen and heard a click the key switching to the "accessory" position, then the engine shuts off.
I am trying to get enforcement on an already released recall. This I my daughters vehicle, recalled due to faulty key and ignition. Hers has the issue and when she tried to get the remedy she was informed they can not fix the problem due to lack of parts and that they have no intentions of producing the parts needed. Also they would fix a 2010 but the 2009 is a bigger issue and not easily solved. Her recall is l25/the federal safety agency 14v‑373.
There is a recall on the care preventing it from starting or the car can suddenly stop and crash. I need the parts, and chrysler has no idea when the parts will be received. I asked for a rental in the meantime as to stop driving my car because I do not want to continue to get stranded with myself and children. They cannot give me a time frame and I need to get to work and drive safely. Updated 12/17/14.
Recall the federal safety agency 14v‑373 dealer told me they do not have part to do the repair. I contacted dodge/chrysler - answer, we do not have the part and do not know when the part becomes available. The dodge / mopar website for the recall status of the car states "incomplete but repair parts are available".
We purchased this vehicle used at the end of 2013. We had two occurrences fairly spaced apart where the vehicle would not turn itself off after turning the ignition to off and removing the key. With key in hand, standing outside the vehicle, the engine was still running. We took it to a dodge dealership near our home, they hooked it up to try every code and every recall that could possibly have been an answer. They found no answer. We also had the battery replaced about that time. Now here we are september of 2014. Less than a year later, and the problem has become an every day occurrence. The car will not start without a jump, it will not hold its charge either. We have had our starter and alternator checked, which are both fine. Now after jumping the car, we start heading to our destination. The car will not accelerate. It reaches about 25mph and then the rpms continue to climb into the 4s, 5s, 6s, and 7s if I try to go any faster, it just will not shift. Now after patiently driving to our destination at 25mph, the car does not shut off after turning the key off. We must open our hood and pull a fuse to stop our engine. It has gotten so bad to where I cannot transport my 3 year old daughter to the babysitter or make it to either of my jobs. I need an answer and no dealership seems to have one. Please help!
7/10/14car shut off, couldn't steer or use brakes. Etc light came on. Read manual and followed the directions. 7/11/2014vehicle behavior repeated. Towed to dodge dealer to be repaired. Next day same thing happened. Towed to dodge dealer again...etc replaced. 8/3/2014 happened all over again. Car at dodge dealership. Stranded with young kids in car is scary and frustrating enough but to have this happen three times in less than 30 days? Thank god for the extended warranty at least.
Low tire indicator as soon as I started my car. Then the change oil indicator flashed. I had just had an oil change and all tires have accurate pressure. Sometimes my car won't start when I turn the key but the lights and radio will work. The shifter panel gets hot sometimes. The wipers will move up a couple of inches when I use my unlock button on my key. My dash lights will fade and then come back to the brightness I have it set at just randomly while the vehicle is started, driving or sitting still. Sounds like an electrical issue. Lots of other complaints about the same things occurring, yet no recalls and things are not covered under warranty.
Had the car a little over a month and on the way home from work a very loud noise. We had it towed to dealer who stated transfer case has a leak. I had to fight with the warranty company to cover this replacement. Now the electric system is causing my fan, brake lights, and chargersto go on and off..
Bought this car brand new off show room floor in feb of 2009 and only owner....first 6 months of owning it started with serpentine belt, heat shield, gear box, AC coolant, electrical , transmission (4 times) brakes and rotors (5 times), battery issues and not to mention tire replacement all before 50k miles. With this being said you would think I have built a new car by now. Yes l even purchased extended warranty but still pay out of pocket cause guess what "everything is not covered" its a lemon and I am scared for me and my daughter to drive it!!! Every month its something new that I have to fix and replace, can no longer afford it. I was proud to be able to purchase a new car with all the bells and whistles I wanted, but heck I cant afford it. The maintenance cost has wiped out any savings I tried to have. I will have to try and trade it in, however I know I am not going to get what I still owe and its sad I will still be paying for this piece of crap. Really sad when you contact chrysler to make them aware of all the issues and problems they don't even apologize for producing such poor work. Guess it will take many more families to go bankrupt or people getting hurt for them to do something about this car!!
My cars has been acting up lately. Randomly it will not turn on when I turn the key in the ignition even though all the lights, radio, and AC turns on. All's I hear is a click and then it does nothing. Sometime it works fine, but other times I have to try 8-10 times before it will turn over. I am not sure if I will always be so lucky or if one of these times I will be stranded. I took the car in for regular maintenance and they checked the battery and it was okay. Also about a month ago I was driving down the road and the car started automatically locking and unlocking doors. Something is wrong with the electrical.
The car will not start on a random basis. All lights, radio, dash working properly but the car just "clicks" and refuses to crank over. We were able to get the car to the shop where they did a software update and bought a new battery. Exactly one year later, same problems. We've had it into the shop on two occasions in the last two weeks and both times were told nothing was wrong (although they did put a new battery in). Next day car would not start again . Now it is stuck out of town and is being towed to a different dealership for repair.
