For the past 2 years my car horn honks whenever it wants to, in traffic or parked in garage. Other drivers think I am honking at them (so far neither my wife nor I haven't encountered a disgruntled driver). Dodge dealership doesn't recognize this as an safety issue.

When inserting the key fob in the ignition sometimes, the car makes a clicking sound & won't start. To get the car to start when this occurs, you have to put the car in neutral, put your foot on the brake & turn the key fob & it finally starts - ridiculous. The key fob was replaced when we received the recall notice.awhile ago. Recall notice #11v‑139. This issue is very annoying & needs to be rectified.
Periodically honking at driver in garage or on road. Updated system software with dealership and stopped for a few months. Car refused to turn over until connected to another vehicle to jump start, check engine light is on, horn started honking again.
My 2010 dodge journey's horn started to go off and stayed on for several minutes. This happens at any time, driving or parked with no one in it.

Car has an intermittent start. Would shut off as driving at times and would not start until next day.
Windshield wipers come on and off as they please. Lights go on and off whenever. Car will not turn over as it sees fit. Everything electrical has gone haywire

The vehicles battery drains overnight with nothing left on. The horn goes off on its own weather the vehicles is in motion or parked. The vehicles cut off in the middle of the freeway and mechanic guy can not find anything wrong. I have seen many complaints from customers with same problem on other platforms online.
Tamara recall- my horn randomly honks while I'm driving, sitting at a red light, and while it's parked. The beep will last as long as 5-10 seconds. All times of the day. Yesterday 2/15/19 replaced thepart# p/n 4692305ai power module inv# 11491 and it still honks randomly today 2/16/19. It's very dangerous now days and I live in the city. This has happened numerous times in the last month a before the repair. And numerous times 6 months ago. Then I went to a dealership and had my remote tested it was fine. The honking happened a few more times then stopped until a month ago.today 2/16/19 is the start of the third series of this problem.
Cars horn starts beeping whenever it wants. Traction control goes off whenever it wants keeping us from getting car in drive. Lost power to everything when driving down highway. Return line of power steering pump has ruptured 6 times in the last year. It just did it again 1-20-2019. The last rupture wasted the pump.

Passenger side heat does not work. Only blows out cold air in all vents, defrost, front and feet. Causes windows to fog up and bad visibility and also does not keep you warm. Also at times it will not allow you to change the heat controls such as from defrost to front or feet. Happens no matter if car is parked or driving. The colder out is is the worse the problem. Huge safety issue living in minnesota. Also serched google and there were 100's of the same complaints in dodge journeys all different years.
2010 dodge journey - won't start - electrical issues - battery is good but won't crank - tried different key - lot's of problems with these cars
Horn randomly goes off while sitting and driving. Doesn't matter if the car is running or not! Creates a major distraction for everyone on the road and could result in accidents and/or road rage incidents while at a traffic light or stop sign!
As a dodge owner I been having problems with the ignition or the ignition key. The car does not start immediately like you would expect it in a normal way to get it to start. Starts when it feels like it. There have been times that I have to wait for more than an hour or get a jump star form a good samaritan, but it will not respond with a jump either. It has been frustrated for the last 2 years. I took it back to the place I bought it from and it was an in and out of the shop for about a couple months and the problems was never resolved. Now days it just dies and I have to jump start it and works for a day, then stops again...... It is soooo frustrated. For the last couple month my car has been in and out of the shop and the problem is the same. Some told me recently to check for any recalls.

Car turns off while driving and traction control light goes on. Steering and breaks do not work when this happens creating an emergency situation for driver and passengers as well as the public as crash is very possible. Car will not start immediately upon attempting to restart. If it does start, within 5 minutes the car will shut down again mid drive. Car fails to accelerate above 1500 rpms right before car shuts off. .
Dash makes clicking noises, the horn goes off by itself, I could be driving or just sitting still, this has been going on for about 2 years, took it in twice to have it checked, they all are confused as why this is happening
The alarm system goes off by itself. Even when I am driving
The car will not start half the time I've taken it to the dealership and they can't find the problem I go to the store and get in my car and the anti theft light will be on and it will not crank the internet is flooded with the same problem from thousands of owners and it's still not fixed I'm tired of being stranded when I still owe 8000 on my car
November 20, 2018 \ horn for my 2010 dodge journey se has been going off by itself repeatedly over the past 2 years. Happens without warning and at all times of the day and night goes off while parked in my driveway and while going down main streets and highways. Length of time it goes off varies. This has drained my battery and has on occasion, has completely disabled my horn. Local dodge dealer, interstate dodge, west monroe, la, said they found no problem with the horn when I took it in for service. However, it still goes off without notice. Most recently today, 11\20\2018. It finally stopped when I turned the ignition to "acc". Am seriously concerned the entire electrical system of my 2010 dodge journey se is at risk. This car could "die" on me in traffic.
I was picking up my kids from school and my horn kept going off. It went of all the way home I had to disconnect the battery because it wouldn't stop. Even after it was turned off and parked.
I've had my truck two years and I have replaced the starter 5 times. I just replaced it on 11-11-18. Today is 11-17-18 and its going out again. I've heard that all the 2009 and 2010 are having the same problems. And the repair shops don't know whats gping on.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 dodge journey. While driving at any speed, the horn would sound without warning. The contact removed the fuse, but the failure recurred once the fuse was re-installed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who informed the contact to call the federal safety agency. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact to call the dealer. The dealer was not called. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 79,000.
While driving the horn on the vehicle blows for no apparent reason. We removed the horn fuses and it did stop, but once put back in the horn blows continuously while driving.
My dodge journey will leave me stranded, in what it seems, the most inconvenient times. This issue will happen at least twice a week now. I will turn the ignition and tried to start the car, but all I'll get is a "click" sound. Sometimes putting the car in neutral works, most of the time doesn't. Sometimes I can't even get the car out of park, even when the key is inserted and moved to start. What it seems to work almost everytime is to wait it out. It's a huge waste of time, but I've waited anywhere from 18 minutes up to 1 hour and 34 minutes. I've taken the SUV on multiple occasions to the dealership and spend more than $2,000 in apparent fixes that doesn't do anything. I've done recalls for the ignition and the wire harness, as well as replacing the battery (twice), starter (three times) and the neutral safety position switch (once). Called dodge on multiple occasions, but their response is that they don't know what's causing this problem and that apparently there's not enough complaints about this issue. This is the vehicle my wife uses to go to work and take the kids around. I've read that some people, their vehicles, just stopped working in the middle of the street while they were driving. Super unsafe and dodge doesn't want to take responsibility for their malfunction.
Key can be turned off, and out, but will not kill the engine, or lights. Ignition switch module replacement through dealer, and reprogramming is the only way to fix it. Seen a recall for this problem but dealer tells me my car is not on the list. I turn my car off pull the key out, and I am still able to drive my car as if the key was in it.
