Shortly after beginning to drive the car, the traction control light comes on, the steering tightens up and the brakes freeze up. This happens on completely dry roads. This happened 2 times within 1 mile of each time. The first time I almost went through an intersection because I couldn't get stopped, and the second time I almost rear ended a car. I had both of my children who are 7 and 10 in the vehicle. This is not the first time this issue has happened. It happened 6 months ago, and my mechanic said the code was a faulty tpm which was replaced. It then happened a month ago, and the most recent time which was last week. I've been researching this issue and it seems that the dodge journey has had this issue, among others. It seems as if this vehicle needs a complete recall. Somebody is going to end up seriously injured or dead. I still owe $10k on my vehicle and cannot afford to buy another and pay this loan. I need to get rid of this vehicle and dodge needs to take responsibility.

The power steering hose keeps ruptureing when you first start it up
As I was driving I tired to turn the wheel to go around a small curve on a city street and it wouldn't turn. I could feel the car staring to die. As I put the car in park to turn the ignition off the break pedal would not work. I was able to turn the car off and restart without any issues. Later my horn started honking on its own. And continues to honk randomly. Also the alarm randomly went off once yesterday. Today it has randomly honked all afternoon.
Car will not start at times. Cant put it in gear at times. Eap light comes on without any issues. Seems all electrically issues must repair brake and turn signal lights every other month
Uncontrollable constant horn honking while the vehicle is driving, while on or off, also key fob does not start or stop the noise. Been to the dealership non stop since getting the vehicle as well as a few other shops and no one has been able to completely fix the issue it has continued to return. Every trip to the dealer they have told me the vehicle is fine, erase any sensors that appear on the dash, and send me home until the problems continue to happen. Removed the fuse to silence the horn noise but has continued to drain the new battery. Have had no luck with the vehicle and now I cannot drive it because it keeps dying. There is a lot wrong with this vehicle.
I started my 2010 dodge journey and was driving down the interstate. I began to go around a sharp curve and realized I had lost all power steering. This almost resulted in a crash into another vehicle and then almost a barricade. Thankfully I was able to somewhat gain control of the vehicle. My wife and 10 month old baby were also in the vehicle. I later learned that the power steering return line had ruptured. I would consider this a isolated incident and not a vehicle problem if there wasn't already a recall for other dodge journeys with the exact same 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.
Car turns off while driving and traction control light goes on.

Car continuously honks on its own. While driving and while off
My 2010 dodge journey is leaking power steering fluid, will not hold power steering fluid, making loud grinding noises wen I turn, accelerate etc. This is a recall and this VIN should be included in that recall. I am so disappointed with chrysler dodge because this is a common issue. If need be I will file any kind of suit necessary! There are many others with the exact problem exact model and year, it's not a coincidence
Just purchased 2010 journey with 102,000 miles. 3rd day of ownership, vehicle stalled 6 times in a 15 minute drive. Stalled while slowing to stop and while accelerating. No warning liguys, just lost power steering and realized it stalled. 6 times in 15 minutes. Engine code says o2 sensor failure
Power steering went out on the freeway
Purchased my 2010 journey march 2017. A week after purchase constant shake in steering wheel, brakes and rotors changed already, constant battle with getting it started, will click and radio, lights , and all work. Sometimes 5 minutes sometimes an hour before it will start. Battery tester, alt, and starter checked. All clear, then to add to ask if that it all of the sudden starts over heating about 10 minutes up the road. Replace the thermostat, flush the lines and it stop over heats. I can not afford to fix any of this at the same time! I have 4 kids I need my vehicle fixed and safe for the road asap.
The autos horn will activate unintentionally causing safety concern of troubling other drivers the car can be in motion or stationary at the time
The power steering on this vehicle does not work properly at lower speeds. Power steering suffers from a lack of power causing the steering wheel to become hard to move and undrivable. The vehicle was taken to a shop and told that the dealer has a recall for this exact issue, s08. The recall is for the hydraulic power assist hose, piping, and connections. The dealer states that the recall does not appear for the VIN. The manufacturer states that even though this model year and engine size do have this recall because it does not have an engine block heater it does not qualify. The engine block heater has nothing to do with the power steering of this vehicle. I believe this vehicle should be covered by the s08 recall that other vehicles of this year and model and engine size are covered by.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 dodge journey. While driving 50 MPH, the steering wheel seized while making a turn. The vehicle had been drained of the steering fluid. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where the vehicle was diagnosed, but not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The VIN was unknown.

Parked vehicle to attend a 2 hour school function. It was approx. -20 degrees outside in the evening. When I went to drive the vehicle home the power steering was gone. It was very difficult to drive to get the 3 miles home. Once we were home we could smell power steering fluid burning from the engine. We parked the vehicle, opened the hood and there was power steering fluid on top the engine as well as sprayed underneeth the hood. There was a recall for this issue on the dodge journey starting in may 2016. Chrysler recall # s08. I checked my vehicle's VIN with your website. It came back as not being included in the recall. I highly recommend this being looked into as my vehicle displayed the exact issues on the recall.
Car engine stalls when braking, slowing down and also stopping at stop signs. Randomly occurs often
Takata recall when slowing down to a stop light the car locked the steering and breaks. The traction control light came on. I was unable to come to a complete stop and ended up going halfway through the light. I turned the car off then back on. It was fine. About a month later the same thing happened as we were driving on the highway. We had no control over the steering or breaks. I contacted the dealer and they said there was no open recall so they would not fix it for free. I just bought the car two months ago.
Driver side front window/locks/mirror controls don't work. Rear window controls do work on driver side. Locks and passenger window controls work on passenger side. All is exactly as in safety recall k07-front door wiring harness (stopped with model year 2009) so why is my exact problem (2010) shared by so many other 2010s on the internet, too? I am frustrated. Mechanic cannot find problem. Considering buying a new master switch for driver door-others say replacing it didn't work! It's a known problem-symptoms exact and to the "t"...recall window cutoff too soon!!! Was notified of ignition/key fobick recall, thankfully! Car occasionally almost dies, chugs, and keeps running. Car starts and runs great-intermittent almost dying thing always out of the blue! Not notified about high pressure power steering hose leaking problem-just paid to have that replaced. Power steering makes terrible noise when turned to right. Suspension rattles like a box of bones! What next? I'm getting the sense that this vehicle isn't safe to drive (esp. W/my son in the car)! Diagnostics and repair bills and quotes really starting to stack up-the more I look into this 2010 dodge journey regarding my problems, seeing so many others with same exact problems-really surprised that the recall list isn't more than it is! How many people have to live through the same poor quality issues before the manufacturer takes care of these sometimes seemingly pandemic problems??? Started before 116,000 miles - now 120,115 miles.
