2010 Dodge Journey electrical complaints
Page 3 of 21: complaints 41 to 70 of 600, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Car intermittently does not start. It happens on a daily basis. Replaced starter, battery, alternator, fuses, cleaned all connectors, solenoid , neutral safety switch.. Still has issues. You have to put the car in neutral to get it started. Key fob won't start car, it just clicks. Putting the key in the ignition wont start the car. I've had the car for 3 months and it spent 1 month with the mechanic. Nothing seems to fix this problem and dodge won't help us.
Was driving at approximately 30 miles an hour on a turning road onto a highway and vehicle shut off. Lost all power steering and brakes were hard. Had to immediately get over to the side of the road to avoid traffic coming from the rear as I lost lights as well and may not have been seen as it was dark and the vehicle is black. When pulled over I put the vehicle in park and attempted to restart. After the 2nd time turning the key it started. No check engine lights are present on the car other than a TPMS sensor.
Two times I was driving down the highway and vehicle shut down. I was parked then tried to start an would not start. It has a remote start an starts on its own an windows roll down on their own. When I get near the vehicle with the key fab the lights come on an sometimes without pushing the button on key fab it starts on its own. I have been driving an went to turn in driveway an it shut down. Stopped at stoplight an it shut down. It has always started back up except for one time I had to maneuver the key a certain way in ignition before it would start.
For no reason the car battery discharges the horn sounds by itself

The horn begins to sound on its own and at short and/or long burts and a combination of both while driving or parked all hours of the day. There is no way to stop this. This can cause severe accidents!
My car is shutting off while I'm driving down the road. I almost crashed last night, this is the third time it's happened over the last month. My dad is not allowing me to drive it any longer and I still owe on it so that's not okay. I'm a foster parent to 4 children and our safety is always important but this car is a death trap waiting to happen.
The car will not start ....I can jump it ...get it running but then within 2 hours it is completely dead I have replaced everything and nothing is working from what I have read this is an ongoing issue with the dodge journey and this needs to be fixed by dodge ....this is very very dangerous because it also will stall out while driving in the middle of the road....please please research this and make dodge do something...I have had it at the dealer and they say everything tests out fine with it ....my 16 year old son drives this vehicle and if something happens to him because of the car malfunction I will sue the [xxx]off dodge !!!

The horn keeps going off on its own and I've taken it to the dealership many times and they still haven't fixed it and I've done research and it also has something to do with the airbag deteriorating.
The horn on our 2010 dodge journey just started going off all by itself while my wife was stopped at a light.the driver in front of her proceeded to get out of their vehicle and point their finger and use some foul language towards my wife.to us this is a huge safety issue and upon doing some research our car is not the only one that this has happened to.we contacted fca and their answer was it's out of warranty.really my wife could of been injured or even shot at.please help us get this resolved before it's too late and someone gets hurt or even killed.right now we have to drive around in this car without a horn because I had to take the fuses out and if that isn't a safety issue I don't know what is.this is going to be about a $500.00 fix which we do not have.

Car has a no start issue, replaced battery a few times, have to keep a jump pack with me, sometimes the jump pack wont start the car. Had this car in to shop and the just replaced the batter again. Still has a speratic no start problem. Last time was parked on a busy street in front of a cloths shop, went shoppingcane out car would not start. Called tow truck, they tried a jump pack, the tried there pack and mine at the same time, didnt start. Had it towed to my house, $95, bill and the car started right up, no problem after taken off the tow truck.
Vehicle keeps randomly stalling while driving. Vehicle will shut off and I have to turn the ignition off completely then let it sit to restart. Sometimes I have to put vehicle in neutral to get it to start. Had battery, fuel, spark plugs, alternator checked and they are working fine. Random lights keep flickering on the dash. This must be an electrical issue. Please issue a recall!!!! Several other owners with the same make and model have complained about the exact same issue.
I parked like normal then it started hooting randomly, also has an issue with break lights not working randomly found out later its the break switch malfunction, the hooting was also on the highway.
On 06/05 car would not start at big lots store thought battery had died and started immediately after getting jumped which happens often if leaving a light on or door slightly ajar so went to walmart next and left car running to make sure would not need to get jumped afterwards and when I came out of store car was no longer running. A walmart associate came out to jump car for me and after car started it went dead again after a few seconds of started. I went inside and bought a battery in case I needed a new battery however it turned out to not be the case after being at walmart for 3 hours trying to get car to stay on long enough to get out of parking lot I was able to get it home for it to shut off again. I tested it out the following day and only made it to the end if the block and it shut off on me again. I stayed at the end of the street for an hour until my husband was able to get it going long enough to get it back home and has remained there until I get this issue solved. My husband has learned online that lots of other people with the same vehicle have this same issue with this vehicle where one day they can drive around fine and the next the vehicle shuts off as if the battery is dead.
Headlights stopped working on and off while driving. Had to replace $1000 electrical panel. Airbag light will not go off. Ignition switch, acceleration switch, brake switch, and cruise control switch all needing replaced after this was done. Egr valve problems. My car jumps, acceleration problems while driving, brakes less sensitive and having to stop from a distance, cruise control works then stops working while driving. Window switch,motor and wiring replaced on drivers side and works sometimes but mostly doesn't work.
I was driving down the highway and my car stalled completely. I had to coast to the side of the highway and try to restart my car. Also, have issues with battery being drained of all power, had to replace battery. My horn randomly beeps whether driving or not. Alarm system will sound all hours of night, had to pull fuse. Since then the hazard lights randomly blink off and on. The day after the engine stalled on me, now have a check engine light on and code is throwing out its the erg valve system and gasket... These are big issues and need to be repaired. I'm not happy with these issues and dodge needs to do something about it.
Started with random horn blowing. I had to take fuses out of tipm to stop this. About 1 year later the battery died. Rwould not take a jump. Had car towed to a garage and eplaced the battery, it was dead again 3 weeks later. It would not take a jump. Had car towed to a different garage, they said I needed a new battery. The garage managed to jump start the car and I drove it home with many dash lights blinking and the power/engine limping along. This is apparently a widespread problem with the tipm. This should be a recall.
Horn honks randomly 24 hours a day regardless of weather temperature and/or vehicle on or off.
The car engine stalls without warning, power steering locks up and brakes lock up causing all passengers to become a "sitting duck" prone to incoming impacts!
I bought my 2010 dodge journey used. Shortly after buying it I noticed the horn and alarm system would randomly go off on its own while driving down the road, stationary at a stop or while the car was parked and turned off. I, unfortunately, had to eliminate this problem by taking out the fuses for my horm and alarm system. This has caused some safety issues. I have also had another electrical issue that has cost me over a thousand dollars to try to figure out. My car battery would drain overnight. At first I thought it was a bad battery because it was about 2 years after I got my car. I replaced the battery and that helped for about 2 weeks. Then the battery started draining again and had to be jump started every day. I had it hooked up to a diagnostic machine where it was found that my alternator needed changed. Went ahead and did that and still had to jump my car every day. I did this for about 2 months straight not being able to figure out what was wrong. Finally did a little more research and found it could be the fuse box module. Bought one of those and put it in. Also had to buy a new battery due to having to jump start it over and over for 2 months. Costing around $900 for the both. This fixed the problem for a few months but then the battery started draining again. This time I took it to a mechanic. They ran tests and had my car for 4 days. They couldn't figure out for sure what was wrong but thought maybe it was in my instrument cluster. Would cost $600 for the part and $200 for installation. I decided to just pull my main electrical fuse everyday instead and continue on with my crap car. Come to find out 5 months later my friend did some research and found some other people having the exact same problem and it was the radio draining the battery. Sure enough we unhooked my radio completely and I haven't had an issue since!!
Vehicles horn goes off randomly; while driving, stationary, while it's on or off, hot or cold. Relays are in good condition.
I just bought a 2010 dodge journey and I had to take the 2 fusses out bc the horn keeped going off by its self
I went to start my vehicle and upon ignition my headlights turned on and my windshield wipers turned on continuously. My blinkers would not work and my bright lights would not turn on. All fuses are working correctly and everything else on the vehicle works correctly but the windshield wipers will not turn off the headlights will not turn off and the blinkers bright lights back windshield and any other options from the steering wheel stopped working.
While driving down the road my engine shuts off. I have to put car in neutral and restart engine.
For a a few years now I have dealing with horn honking on its own. In the middle of the night, while driving, while parked randomly. I've been trying to solve the issue and nothing works. I read lots of complaint with the same issue on dodgeforum.com but again no solution. On 2/17/20 I nearly had a bad accident because I dont have a horn, I've been taking out the fuse because of the random honking while driving. This has happened to me more than once almost getting into accidents because if horn issue. I commute 2 hours a day for work sometimes more and do not feel safe using car but have no choice. For so many years no solution to problem by dodge.
When turning one day my horn honked by itself. I thought my hand slipped and accidentally honked the horn then a few days later while driving straight I heard it again. It honked twice by itself, causing the person in front of me to slam on their brakes and almost caused a crash. That same day I heard it while the vehicle was off. I was I side and my horn honked at least 15 times by itself. I knew it wasn't my keys because my key fob had been disconnected from my car.
My wife was driving the car and it shut off while driving. The engine and electric system shut off and she could not use the brakes. She had to coast to a parking lot and then it started up again. We have taken it into a mechanic and there is no information on the computer regarding what happened. He cannot diagnose the problem.
