The car will not start
Car will not turn on. One day it urns on fine next day wont turn on.
Car occasionally doesn't stay in high gear at highway speeds. Need to pull over and turn car off to get it to shift to high gear again. The automatic transmission also doesn't hold itself on hills at a light. It rolls backward unless I hold the break. Air diverter box behind glove box bangs even when the car is off.
'takata recall' when driving this 2010 dodge journey I honestly do not feel safe nor I think it's safe for my kids . Having the car just die out of no where, and then some mornings it won't start up for no reason , is really disappointing. When your a single mom and you work day and and night , to buy a new car , you would think it would benefit the family. Sadly it just brings more problems that I can't afford to fix.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 dodge journey awd. While driving approximately 60 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning and lost steering ability. The contact stopped and restarted the vehicle, and then drove to her destination. The contact also stated that the failure occurred again on october 18, 2018. The vehicle was not taken to an independent mechanic or dealer for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 156,000.
When driving will hit any kind of bump & engine shuts off.. This started out happening occassionally, now happens nearly every time you drive it. Also when restart it revs like holding foot down on accelerator even though foot not touching accelerator.
When driving, both at low neighborhood speed and at highway speed, the engine stalls, lights and radio stay on, steering wheel locks and brakes lock. It has happened several times intermittently and unpredictably. I didn't become scared until it happened when I was on a highway going 60mph and almost wrecked trying to safely exit (date indicated below). The car is now in my driveway because I am afraid to drive it. A mechanic said it was related to a previously-issued safety recall but when I called a dealer to make an appointment for the recall repair, I was told that my vehicle was not included in the recall, despite the glaring similarity. I have not received a recall notice and, as stated, dealerships will not repair my vehicle for free.
Vehicle turns off while driving. Unable to steer or brake.
Unsafe conditions in all the issues written 6/20/16 5/13 40,000 miles - now 81,000 miles ignition switch - issues, the key fob will not come out of the ignition switch. The entire electrical system shuts down.....doors, windows, anything electric does not work. The door locks don't unlock the car remains locked and passengers are not able to get out of the car for a random period of time. This has happened on 3 occasions. Horn blowing without pushing the horn, while the car is in motion and/or parked. Stormy weather ironically increases the chance of random horn blowing. Very unsafe. Began march 2015, approx. 65,000 miles. The dealer and dodge 800 853-1403 say that the cars VIN # is not one that has had a recall. On this site, over 700,000 dodge vehicles have had a recall with electrical issues. Paid approximately $900 in labor and parts (see invoice from huffines dealer), 2 batteries in 2 years, 3/2015 $200.00, 6/20/16, $238.00
