While driving the horn started honking on it's own. Stopped for a few hours then started blaring on it's own while car was parked and off for a solid hour. Had to disconnect the battery to get it to stop until I can find the fuses. Remove the fuses for a while and it stops. Replace fuses and it starts doing it again. Battery went dead because of not being able to hear the alarm going off when the door handle was pulled while car was locked.
Win control module for keyless entry issue- I looked up the issue on google and their have been mamy report of win control module going out on dodge journey out of the blue. I purchased my car new in 2011 and with no warning stop working to the point I can even start my car because the antitheft light keeps activating due to the computer module.
My journey shuts off while driving. I will be driving and then vehicle will just shut off and I lose brakes and power steering. But vehicle will start back up.
When trying to start the vehicle, it will not start . It just clicks and the lights a and everything else works, it just will not turn over and start
The horn blows on its own at any time. It does not matter if I am driving or if the car is turned off. It does this at all hours of the day/night. Pushing the car alarm button or panic button does not stop it from blowing. I have my local mechanic check and he states the wiring is fine so the problem must be coming from the steering column area where you push to blow the horn. The only way to make it stop was to remove the two fuses for the horn.
Takata recall I am making a complaint on my 2010 dodge journey my horn goes off several times a day for no apparent reason it's been doing this for a few months. I also had to replace 2 actuators within 6 months and now its making the same clicking noise as before. These cars need to be recalled.
The electrical system will shut completely down while driving the car. The wind shield wipers will come on by itself, you will not be able to turn them off. The cooling and heating system will shut down. During this time, you cannot use your power windows. Every warning will come on. This car is a nightmare.
Remote starter doesn't work keypad will not open doors alarm keeps going off when opening doors when opening doors anytime
Alarm keeps going off
Ignition module went out in driveway. Would turn the car to off, take the key out, but the car would continue to run. You can drive the car without the key in the ignition. Took it to the dealership, they had to replace the ignition module and replace two of my car keys. Drove the car to the dealership without the key in the ignition.
Car was driven 180 miles,then turned off for 30 minutes, attempted to restart car. Power went to the gauges, but engine did not turn over (no starting noise). Jump starting the battery did not work. Engine turned over after turning the fob key a 7th time. Dealership replaced battery, alternator, and starter. Problem still occurring when vehicle is stationary - it's an apparent random ability to start engine. Mechanic is stumped. Internet comments state that chrysler-brand cars have apparently been dogged with power module failures for years, which can cause airbag non-deployment, fires, stalling, unintended acceleration, headlamp problems, and damage to other components. In particular, 2007 to 2014 model year cars are said to be affected. A california lawsuit succeeded in obtaining reimbursement for tipm (fuse box) replacements, diagnosis, rental car expenses, and unnecessary repairs done to fix a non-start or stall condition as a result of a vehicle's tipm fuel pump relay failure. Oddly enough, before the non-start problem occurred the vehicle's horn would engage while the car was parked (and not accidentally turned on via wireless fob). Mechanic could not find reason for that, either.
The car will not start sometimes, with no reasoning behind it. Battery and alternator have both been tested as good in 3 different locations. I can turn it and it will make one click but not turn over and start. However, all the lights works, I can use power locks, radio, lights, charge port but yet the car will not turn over and start. I've read online to put the car in neutral when this happens and it will start. I have not tried it yet because it has not happened since I got it tested. Each time it will usually start on it's on after turn the key on and off several times. Also, the starter has been tested and is in good condition. All reasoning anyone can give me is an electrical defect. It has been happening for the last 2 months and getting more frequent.
The horn just randomly sounds off without any warning or the car is on. It does it all night long. It will beep while driving, in park, turned off, or on. Not justification reason as to why. Had to remove fuses to shut it off. It started sunday, june 23rd and has continued daily up until removing fuses this morning.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 dodge journey. The contact stated that the horn was sounding off intermittently. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified and did not assist. The dealer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.
Intermittent problems with the car starting, lights will flicker and car will make clicking noise after the initial flicker. The car could take anywhere from a few minutes to 1 or 2 hours to start. While driving the car will start to shake and then shut off when slowing down or coming to a stop (red light or stop sign). The car sometimes won't start up or will immediately shut off again while in the middle of a city street. This is a safety hazard because we have toddler and soon to be newborn who will almost always be in the car.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 dodge journey. The contact stated that after the vehicle had been running/driven for a while, it would not restart after it was parked.

My car is completely locking up. We were leaving for the day, I put my toddler in his car seat, got into the car and shut and locked the doors. I put the key in and started it, but nothing. Then none of the lights would work, the key was stuck in the ignition, and the doors would not unlock. I had to climb into the backseat and unlock the door by hand to get us out. We took the battery out and up to get tested, and it tested fine. After hooking the battery back up, we were able to get the car on. Next day same thing happened and I got stranded out and had to call for help. I have had the alternator replaced in 2016. After calling a shop to get it in to get it looked at, I was told that the ignition switch is a known issue in these cars and it sounded exactly how I was describing the problem. I was advised to check for a recall on my specific car, but there is not one. But after doing some research I did learn that chrysler did issue a recall on 2009-2010 dodge journeys for this specific issue. Why was my car not recalled if it falls into that category?

1st for no reason the horn goes off, I had to pull the fusees so I can keep my neighbors I'm driving around with no horn at this time. 2nd heater core was only heating one side of the car, 3rd passenger seat belt locks up the moment car starts.
Air bag light is on car electrical system malfunctions engine starts when it wants to. I've already replaced the battery and starter
Vehicle randomly will not start. Brakes go stiff. All lights radio etc works, car just refuses to start (it is not even attempting to start) after a few hours car will start

Been in two shops 2000$ worth of looking for the cause and its still unknown. It does drive if it starts no lights on. New battery alternator is ok surpertine belt and pully system is fine...currently at l v auto on west mosel road in parchment mi
2010 dodge journey with 20k miles, horn goes off randomly, sitting in garage or driveway, idle, not running. Key fobs are on the kitchen counter. Horn beeps 1 - 3 times, not steady or uniform. I've had it at the dealership 5x, they can't find anything wrong and of course it doesn't happen there. They've replaced the wiring harness from door to dash on drivers side and put a heat shrink tube on a wire + diagnostics for $1,000. I find similar complaints on the web but no resolutions. The dodge "star" team and their customer care line have not been able to help at all. (zeigler dodge in downers grove, il.)
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 dodge journey. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to crank. The driver had to shift the gear into neutral to start the vehicle, which did not always work. Mitchell automotive (1522 us-45 alt, west point, ms 39773, (662) 494-4344) was notified and diagnosed that the neutral safety switch/neutral range sensor failed to function. An independent mechanic was contacted for further diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 11v139000 (electrical system). The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and did not assist. The failure mileage was not available.
My vehicle was parked outside my home and the horn started blowing all by itself. This continued no matter what I tried (pressing the key fob buttons, pressing the horn manually, and starting the vehicle). We finally had to take the fuse out to get it to stop. The horn blew so much the neighbors called the police thinking that something was wrong.
My 2010 dodge journey started recently its not starting when I turn the key it just goes click. After a while it might start or if I put the car in neutral it might start. The horn also goes off on it's on from time to time . The vehicle was stationary the times it wouldn't start but it was both stationary and moving in traffic when horn went off.
This vehicle has had multiple issues. Starter sounds like it's sticking at start of engine this has always been a problem since we got the vehicle. In 2018 I had to replace the battery and the alternator because the car would shut off while driving, at one point with my 5yr old daughter exiting the freeway(a very scary and extremely unsafe experience) replaced water pump and top front hose after I found puddle of fluid from coolant tank. Other work done ,replaced cv joints, loud clicking when sharp turns were made and shocks and struts replaced. Then all of a sudden the car shuts off while driving as it did before alternator was fixed. Now I'm experiencing more electrical issues lights turning on and off on their own, AC will blow air some times and other times no air at all. The traction light comes on and car will not go over 20-30 MPH. Gas will not rev up. Going to get car towed to the mechanic today to diagnose . Seems to be a lot of people experiencing similar issues with this vehicle model. Something needs to be done, will be calling chrysler and dodge dealership.
