2010 Dodge Journey visibility problems

Filed Apr 17, 2021 · Electrical, Lights · 15,800 miles · OR

On our way to the coast my headlight went out completely and had to use only to day lights and fog light no headlight would come on they would only flicker. I was still a hour from the coast and 3 hours from home in the middle of the night. The horn goes off randomly and is annoying same with the wind shield wipers. They go at random and are not needed.the horn is when I am stationary. The wipers go at anytime moving or stopped. The car acts possessed. I am scared to drive at night due to the headlights functionality I had my nephew with me when I had the headlights stop working and I will not put him in danger again. This needs fixed.

First major problem is car starts when it feels like it, had to replace starter ($520) in the first week that I owned the vehicle after getting a jump several times I purchased I jump kit ($125)in case it wouldnt start and there were no other cars around then the jump kit wouldnt even work. So I had to have the car towed ($130) and the starter replaced. If I shut the car off and try to start it again 10 mins later it wont start but if you wait about an hour, it will start. This still happens after having the starter replaced so I have to keep the car running or risk being stranded for an hour or so. Second problem, about a month after buying the vehicle I was on the highway and was using the cruise control, was going down a hill and the rpms went all the way up into the red and high as it could then went down to zero and the engine completly stalled while on the highway. Since then I haven't used the cruise control. Thirdly, the passanger side has zero heat. The defroster, the heat vents on the dash and the heat vents at the feet all blow out cold air. Fourth problem, the horn would honk randomly, while driving or parked. 5th problem the key fob does what it wants when it wants. Came out of the mall and my alarm was going off (just the lights I had to remove the horn fuses because of the honking issue) and could not turn the alarm off or unlock the doors with the fob, had to use the actual key from inside the fob to get in the car and then start it, shut if off then I was able to shut off the alarm. 6th problem the car will randomly unlock when I'm not even holding the key fob and the front windows will roll down half way. This car has been nothing but issues since I bought it dodge needs to have a recall for this vehicle there are so many safety issues! Bought this car because I wanted a safe vehicle for my family and this car had been anything but!

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.

The key fob was the first thing I noticed,it wouldn't lock/unlock the car, hanged the battery,nothing changed. Months later I cannot lock/unlock with the key fob or on the door panel.the car stays unlocked all the time (not good) also the back wiper no longer works..now, the horn...the horn does not stop honking!!! Doesn't matter if you're driving or the car is off an parked..... Also unsafe. I had to disconnect it and been without for over a yr. I've contacted dodge..seems to be the same story I see online,they are surprised and never heard of anyone having an issue🤔🤔 seems fishy. And let's not forget the engine,it sometimes starts ..sometimes I have to wait for it to kick in. I used to not even be able to turn it on at all and have to shift it in diff. Gears to get it to go. I am hoping someone can help.im fed up with dodge.

I was out of town parked at a store would not start. As I was waiting on someone to come help me then 30 mins or so later my car started up. My boys and I cut our vacation short because its very unsafe having your car not start in a place you know no one. We've changed the battery. The next month I was getting gas and it wouldn't start again. I had a person jump me and took it to get checked out and they found nothing wrong with the car. So a month and a half the car did it again I was at the mall and it wouldn't start. This is a horrible feeling not knowing when or if your car is going to start or not. We can't drive out of town in it because the uncertainty if it's going to start or not. Which it is unfair to my boys when we at least do something on summer break or fall break or even winter break and we can't even go outside of our city.

No heat from passenger side vents on any setting, whether driving or stationary. As a result, defrost performance does not meet fmvss 103. Flushed heater core and a lot of debris came out and heat worked on both sides. Numerous similar cases have been reported online. Attached image is of sediment that came out during flush.

Intermittent non-function of power windows, interior dome lights and dash lights cannot be activated or controlled with steering column controls, rear wiper washer motor activates when rear wiper is turned on, but turns off when the controls are advanced to the spray function. Keyless unlock intermittently non-functional. Took vehicle to dealership and was diagnosed as a faulty totally integrated power module (timp). Unfortunately the journey was omitted from the timp recall campaign leaving the customer on the hook for the repairs. This vehicle should be added to the recall list as it poses a safety risk of lack of wipers and other possible safety issues while driving.

I was driving on highway 29 going to columbia md in a heavy rainstorm and my electric system in my truck shut off, I could see because the everything that needed power just stopped working in the middle of the highway. The car was still running but the computer system had shut off and I had a car full of kids. This scared us so bad , luckily I was able to ease to the side of the road where I turned that car off and back on to check if the electric system would come on. It did but as we got off the exit it cut off again.
