There are 2 different problems I have been dealing with since day one of owning my dodge journey. The first being electrical, my clock runs fast because of the power flow to it. I have 2 power outlets in my car that do not work properly and 1 of them the dealership in florida messed up to fix one of the electrical problems. The second issue is when I accelerate my transmission clicks, I was pretty much told I was crazy by the dealership that they couldn't duplicate the noise and now that I do not have a warranty they are reporting it to me and want me to pay. The last and final issue is my brakes I have had my brake booster replaced and my break master cylinder and I still keep losing my brakes. If I have to slam on my brakes or put any real pressure my brakes go soft and to the floor. Both of these parts were replaced by the dealership and they were just guessing on what was wrong and they didn't correct the problem.

Vehicle never shifts right. Doors sometimes won't unlock leaving me stuck inside. Stranded on side of road after battery saver light came on and ABS light causing my car rpms to fly up to 4 repeatedly and I could barely get off the main road safely befoelre the car stopped running. When I go to turn it back on says my car is not in park which it is. I really hope I'm not dealing with what other people have dealt with with this vehicle. My car is about to hit 70k miles.

Bought the car brand new and have had to do brakes 4 times. Travel with vehicle is mostly local to and from work and school sporting events for the kids. Had to redo them in 6 month period.
The brake pedal goes extremely soft after the anti-lock brake system engages or after braking when driving over a bump/pothole. It can still brake, but I have to press the pedal to the floor, and the car slows down rather than stopping. It will stay soft a while (15-20 min), but I found that if I pump them hard a few times (like while at a red light) it then returns to normal. This has happened many times, mostly recently 2/28/2019. I'm afraid this will happen and result in me having an accident or rear-ending someone.

"electronic stability control and ABS light recall". The lights of the "ABS and ESC" are lighted when we start the engine of the vehicle.
Problem began with brake warning indicator light coming on, seemingly at random. Brakes still seemed to be working normally. Then brakes started failing to catch while driving. Regardless of vehicle speed, 10 MPH or at highway speeds, brake pedal would go almost to floor and you would have to pump it several times to get the brake to engage. Took it in to my local mechanic and found that fluid was leaking into driver's side interior, diagnosed a faulty master cylinder and booster. Took car to dealership. They serviced all outstanding recalls. They replaced master cylinder and booster at a cost of $982 to us. Brakes worked fine for three weeks then problem started happening again but this time brake warning light is not illuminated. Just as before, sometimes the brakes work normally, other times the pedal goes to the floor and you have to pump the brake pedal until it 'catches'. Taking it back in to dealer - this is a dangerous problem, not knowing if the car is going to stop or not. Judging by the number of reports from motorists and mechanics on various websites, this is obviously a known issue with 2013 dodge journey vehicles.
Brakes aren't catching at times almost have several accidents on the highway and city streets when I step on brakes I have to keep pumping them to stop .. Then when I try start car it says key aren't located even while driving
I was driving my car through town(35mph) when it just shut off. I didn't have power steering or brakes. No alert lights come on. I managed to pull into a gas station, put it in park then it restarted after I pushed the button. I did chat with chrysler and they said no recalls or issues showed up for my car. After googling my experience, I found numerous other complaints from people having the same problem. If I had been going faster on the highway or even on our curvy backroads I could have been seriously injured or even killed! I drive my children in this car and I'm scared to death to get back in it. I'm still paying on nb this car and it's a deathtrap!

I applied my brakes and they became spongy then shortly after that the brakes almost would not stop. Vehicle is unsafe to drive. The brakes began to bottom out even when applied while in park. There is no loss of brake fluid in master cylinder. Suspect ABS system. There was a recall to fix ABS failure that the dealer did.
My battery died at year and a half, of 3 year warranty. After going several rounds and up to manager, they replaced the defective battery. I had rcvd info on recall t47, w/airbags and steering wiring issue, so had that taken care of also. I p/u journey, on my way hm the ESC light kept coming on and brakes would lock up, car would pull to the left and alot of rattling under the front end, pulling me into other lane. It was dry, no rain on a straight road. Called had to wait 4 days to take back in, told they forgot to re-initialize ABS system and that the battery being disconnected caused issue, I asked why it didn't happen after 1st battery was replaced, they didn't know. On my way home, the issue was back, took it back to lhmiller dodge, was then told that they need to diagnose, saying it could be clock spring/axle/driveshaft/differential and it will cost several hundreds just to diagnose. I asked if they could replace the initial recalled r16 ESC part and was told that would be at my expense. I was told that they did not open the steering wheel/shaft to have caused the issue w/clock spring during t47 repair. The instructions on replacement show that they would have to open it and be in direct contact w/clock spring. They are wanting to pay for what was not replaced and what they damaged. My car is still having the issue and I think they should replace the ESC part and clock spring at no charge. I don't have money to get a diagnosis and then have to pay additional for repair. The ESC light comes on while I am in park and while driving on straight city roads, it engages and the vehicle starts to slow down like it is going to stall and you cannot apply gas or it pulls more. Before I took it in for the warrantied battery and recall, I had no issues with the vehicle.
Takata recall. Brakes locked up trying to avoid a car coming towards me, lost control and airbags deployed in an accident and smoked and burnt my arm and leg
Driving down a state road and my brakes became spongy. In order to stop I would have to slow down and push my brakes pedal to the floor. The first time it happened I pulled over and shut my car off too call someone. As soon as I started my vehicle again the brakes were fine. Today I decided to pull over again and turn the car off. When I turned it back on I pumped the brakes a few times and it was back to normal. This has happened to me three times so far. I have a newborn and cannot risk brake problems. I checked and my vehicle does not have a recall, however, dodge journeys between 2012 and 2015 have recalls. Mine is a 2013 but no recall. Is this the same issue? And if so, why do I not have a recall on mine?.
