The vehicle occasionally will not start, sometimes if you turn the key and put it in neutral it may start but not anlways. Battery and starter are new. All electrical is good. The issue is an unresolved problems and I have seen several forums with this complaint on the dodge journey. No mechanic can pinpoint what causes this. I've been stuck several times for hours due to the vehicle not starting. It may be some security glitch or something. Dodge needs to recall this and get it fixed.

There was a exhaust smell in the cabin that was repeatedly checked by the dealer and couldn't find the source. Then on the highway while traveling out of town, I heard a loud bang. Pulled over and the car wouldn't start. Got it towed, and the mechanic said the transfer case needed to be replaced for $3000 with only 75,000 miles on it

I was on i95 doing 70 miles an hour and my car stayed in drive and all the sudden started going in reverse. Backing me up on the highway. I had tractor trailers flying all around me. Cars going around me running off shoulder to keep from hitting me. I tried emergency brake to stop. I tried again once I got to 20 it started going in reverse again. They said it was a internal transfault and it grinding metal into my transcooler that will need to also be replaced with the transmission. If its internal and no fault of mine and almost killed me and I do not ever want to drive on a highway again from fear. Why should I have to pay for it. This should be a recall and they should have to fix it. I am very angry and upset and not rich.

While stopped at a stoplight I heard a loud bang that at first, made me think someone had ran into the back of my journey. When I realized that wasn't the case, I stepped on the gas to go, but it didn't, thinking I had knocked it out of gear, I had moved the gearshift into park then into drive and drove to my part time job. After getting off at 7pm, I got on the expressway to go home, once I started going the speed limit 55mph, I heard another bang noise and the truck was loosing speed, so I pulled over and called roadside. After finally getting the vehicle to the dealership they were about to take it out for a test drive and the service tech heard the bang noise. They put on the lift and found that the transfer case had cracked.
