I brought my 2010 dodge journey in 2012, about a year later, the care started to stall when on starting. Naturally, we thought is was the battery, so went to the dodge dealer and they agreed. Two week later, the care would not start after my sons baseball came. Someone gave me a jump, so I thought that I got a bad battery. Towed car to shop and I was told that the starter was bad. So approximately. $250.00 later I have a new battery. The care continues to not start. The dodge journey is the most unreliable car I have every had. It is now sitting in my garage, because I was driving and the car ran hot and will not go more than 30 miles per hour. I have a car not and cannot afford to get fixed. I am told that something may be wrong with the transmission, but only dealer can work on this since the transmission is buried under everything. I am frustrated and broke and still having to pay a care note!

First had a problem with car shutting down and would not start so I bought a battery,because it kept draining then starter made noise had to replace it , then my car started over heating so I was told it was the reservoir so I bought one , now my transmission slips in reverse. I'm still having problems with shut downs no starting, everything is acting up all over again.

Driving on the i95 south going 55 MPH a red light came on and then car starting down. The electrical lights on the dash board came on and the car started moving over to the side and I finally stopped the car at the beginning of the off ramp at exit 15.

On march 18, 2007 while being driven on a secondary road, our 2010 dodge journey, class 1b3h80100, began having some sort of electrical problem, dashboard warning lights came on, interior light started going off and on, and then the vehicle cut off entirely. In addition, the brakes don't seem to be functioning correctly. The vehicle was taken to the dealer with 3 separate recall/warranty notices found which appear to cover brakes, dashboard lights and most importantly, the starter issue. The dealer stated they were aware of only 1 recall. They indicated that since it was near closing time, they could not address the issues until monday. My daughter and her 2 infants use this car. When I purchased it, the dealer mentioned it had been 'returned' and had very low mileage. When asked why it was returned, they stated that the previous owner bought many vehicles from them, and just needed something different. The potential danger of an accident resulting from the vehicle shutting off while in motion needs to be addressed so that no one is seriously injured. Thank you.
