The transmission will shift from park into drive with a loud clang and jerk. This occurs when you pull up and stop, turn motor off, restart and put into drive. Then at other times hesitates to shift. Brakes will push themselves down with no pressure given by driver. Front end on uneven patches of roadway will thump as thought it is loose and wobble.

The brakes shake bad when slowing from 40 MPH or higher note front rotors and pads were replaced at 21956 miles after two times in the shop at a cost of 50.00 but I am having the same problem with the rear brakes when the car is stopped fast rear brakes shake chrysler will not warranty. The transmission hits very hard about 50% of the time when shifting into drive from any other stick position this is causing transmission damage chrysler is aware of the problem the dealer shop mark dodge showed me an email they got back from chrysler after the shop foreman noted this defect was happening and contacted chrysler about what to do. The response from chrysler was " [xxx] this has been noted in several prior cases . At this time it is considered characteristic- [xxx] " so a transmission banging into gear is characteristic. This is the first time I have had a vehicle do this in 40yrs of driving. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
1) I had the front brakes replaces after owning the care 7 days. The dealer replaced the front rodars and brake pads. Six weeks later I complained of the metal to metal sound from the rear brakes, but the dealer told me, "you can keep driving the car, it's ok for now". Now the brakes are totally gone and the front brakes are causing the car to shake when you slow down...again!! 2) the car doesn't always start. You have to crank the key 4-5 times before it will start. This seems to be in intermittent problem. 3) the transmission jerks into gear. 4) the plastic in the wheel well coming off.

Dec. 29th 2010. I have a 2010 dodge journey r/t. It is not even a year old. It has taken me several times to turn the car on each time I get in the car. It stalls while I am driving. The lights on the dash and nav flash on and off for some crazy reason. The alignment is and has always been off. The car moves toward the right. The steering wheel shakes when I slow down. Now the brakes are making noises. I have taken it to two dealerships to be serviced numerous times and they can not find anything wrong. The dealership where I bought it has left my car on empty(the gas) after it has been serviced. The dealership contacted dodge(that is what the service manager said) over a month ago, and stated that they were waiting on a part to put a device on my car to figure out what is wrong. I have called twice and the service department & they will not call me back. So I guess I have to drive around a car that is dangerous and dodge is doing nothing. I do not accept this!!!! Something needs to be done. If the service dept. Won't call me what am I to do. And the warning screen for the nav. Doesn't come up when I turn the car on. So I guess dodge can risk that liability too. I guess it will take someone being injured to get their attention.
I bought a 2010 dodge journey and have had many issue. First the alignment has always gone towards the right and has been in the shop twice and they said it was fine. I have always had problems with the nav and computer music system. The newest and worst issue is in less than 2 weeks has stopped while I was driving. I took it in the first time and the service said they rebooted the computer and it was fine. Few days later I was going 40 down the road and the car shut off again. Both times the car is in drive and the key is in. It is now back in the shop and I am afraid the airbags are not going to work. I am afraid that I will be hit and injured. I have 4 year old twin boys. Dodge/chrysler is not helpful at all. I am afraid to drive the car. It is back in the shop and for a car less than a year old, I feel it should work. I don't know what to do.
