Had been intermittently seeing white smoke come from under the hood or front undercarriage of vehicle. No cause visible to the eye was found. On date in question, engine area caught fire while driving at a low rate of speed. Vehicle towed to collision shop where it was determined that transfer case/ pua unit was "bad" and cracked. No collision or external damage caused it. Part simply cracked for an unknown reason according to chrysler collision/body shop. Damage not covered by auto insurance because it was spontaneous. Front end of vehicle pulls, ignition stalls, electrical problems, brakes (pads, rotors & often calipers) & tires must be replaced every 4-6 months. Upon regular maintenance inspection there is no sign of problems with brakes & tires but full replacement is usually required within several weeks of inspection.

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!

I have a 2009 dodge journey sxt awd. I have had several issues since I purchased this vehicle in oct 2008. The issues were brake/caliper failure, water leak, wiring harness, ignition failure etc(the list goes on). Recently on july 10-13 2011 my vehicle would automatically stall when coming to a complete stop or ideal brakin. I brought my vehicle in to my local dealership to find out reason for stalling. The stated it was due to the transmission wire being fried and it was going to cost me $227 to replace wire. I immediately contacted chrysler and placed a case in regards to my concern as I felt this was a warranty/safety issue. I also, inquired about the buy back program as every 3k to 6k miles something goes wrong with my vehicle that is never minor. I was without a vehicle for 3 days due to the negligence and follow-up between chrysler case manager and dealership's service manager. I had no transportation leaving myself and child stranded. Therefore, due to no response I contacted the dealership to have it fixed & paid for it as I needed my vehicle back. That same day I get a call from the case manager stating they are unable to compensate me due to vehicle already being repaired/picked up. I was so disgusted and upset at the fact the disregarded my concern and could care less.
