On multiple occasions over the past few years my 2009 dodge journey will not start. There is no warning and it's become a gamble to drive my car and risk getting stranded somewhere. The vehicle will just click when I turn the keyfob and sounds like a dead battery, but all lights, radio, windows etc work fine. I have replaced the battery 3x as suggested by my local dodge dealership but they fail to identify why this is a recurring problem. I have also been waiting for almost a year for repairs related to recalls they are unable to correct since the parts are not available. My vehicle also has a history of the panic alarm going off when pushing the unlock button the keyfob (I've made sure the panic was not hit by accident - this is not operator error). Once the panic alarm is sounding the keyfob becomes useless and won't work. I have to take the key out of the fob, unlock the door using the key, get in put keyfob in car turn car on, turn car back off, take keyfob out of ignition and click the unlock and/or panic buttons to get the alarm to shut off.

After several trys, it will start. Also, airbag warning light came on. Took back to dealer. Dodge dealer had for a week. Finally said its a faulty tipm.

Vehicle randomly will not start. Everything (lights, air, radio) works except it will not start, makes a clicking noise but will not turn over. We have paid dodge over 300 dollars to have this issue fixed but it keeps reoccuring. First time we had to have it towed they said it was a software issue and bad battery. We paid for that and not even a week later I was stranded out of town at night with my children. Dodge had it towed thr next morning and could not identify the issue. We have since had to have it towed 2 other times back to dodge and they have fixed the starter and on the last occasion they said nothing was wrong. Once we had the battery jumped to get it started and it is a brand new battery, however that doesnt always work. We are still dealing with this issue. We received a recall notice in the mail for bad ignition and key issues in may and we still have not been able to get it fixed. We were told by dodge that we would be put on a waiting list for parts and it could be months as there are a lot of people who are having thr same issues and not enough parts are available. Please look into this issue. No, I didn't crash but it is a safety issue when you are stranded far away from home and noone can help you. It is expensive when I end up having to pay 100's of dollars I'm towing. If you google the issue there are multiple complaints of the same issue and dodge keeps saying to everyone that they can not identify the issue.
