viscous unit for AWD dodge journeys has been failing causing a clunking and chunking noise. Causing the car jerk on takeoff or on turns. From what others been having issues with is the same thing. Causing a risk of a crash of the rear differential cracking and breaking free from the car. I had to replace the Rear Axle Bdorc/Viscous Unit on my car already, again from what I read from other owners, they have been having the same issue. and some are worse than others. I fear that it may cause danger to the occupants inside the car and around.

Hi, my dodge Journey 2014 has been experiencing steering issues(stiff and hard to turn) when driving at lower speeds. I know that same Dodge Journey model and year has had a lot of recalls for that. Please verify and let me know what's the process to get this steering issue fixed under recall as this is increased risk of a crash.

When trying to start the car in the past every now in then I would get a one click and no start I tried to shift into neutral and nothing the same , I played with the button by turning g off and back on a few time and it would start and it started to get harder to get it to start and now it will only click and no start , I replaced the battery and starter was checked out and is good all battery ends are new and new battery cables , I know Google is no auto mechanic but the post I have read there is a lot of dodge journeys that has this issue when I called dodge I was told to bring it in and I will be charged , also about every 4th time I hit the door locks from the door as soon as the door shuts the horn beeps 3 times and all the doors unlock , need help please from what I am understanding it's something to do with the anti theft or the neutral safety switch inside the transmission ,

The vehicle started vibrating and making noise Brought it to a mechanic and was told the transfer case was broke due to the bolts backing out, something they've never seen before I had it towed to dealership because this happened 4 years ago under warranty Now dodge said it's not covered even though it was already replaced

I bought this car used but it only had 26340 on it and now it is almost to 30000. When driving it sounds as though the motor is knocking, but the oil is fine when checked on. It seems to have difficulty changing gears, sometimes way to fast and it whines other times it struggles to shift gears. Rpms are not steady they are bouncing around high love. When it does get to speed it feels as though the brakes are being appflied. At times the motorwhines because, the gear is to low it starts to get loud and become very hesitant when shifting to the higher gears. Sometimes it feels like the motor or something is going to come offf. There is a bunch of rattling going on . When I do park and turn it off, shortly after it sounds as if there is something running around inside the motor area. I was told it runs great and haven't even put 3000 miles on it. I think it's going to blow up or just die

The contact owns a 2014 Dodge Journey. The contact stated while driving approximately 25 MPH, he became aware that the oil pressure gauge was fluctuating and then the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the oil pressure and engine stall failure had started as an intermittent failure but had become a daily failure. The contact had driven the vehicle to an independent mechanic who diagnosed and determined that the transmission pump and transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The contact researched online and related the failure to the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 16V461000 (Power Train).

While driving from from grand rapids and arriving to michigan city, indiana, I hear a noise that mimicked that of a flat tire. I immediately made a right turn into the parking lot to check each one of my tires, but none of them were low or completely deflated. I drove up a bit to park my vehicle, so I could further investigate and it stalled. When I got out of the vehicle, I smelled a light burning smell coming from underneath tbe vehicle and I just let it sit, while calling my insurance company's roadside assistance to obtain support. I had the vehicle towed back to grand rapids costing me $401 because my insurance only paid up to 15 miles for towing and this drive was approximately a 125 mile drive. Due to covid, I had to pay out of pocket for a ride back to grand rapids as well. I had the vehicle towed to the dealership where I purchased the car back in april 2015 and after the delearship checked to diagnose the vehicle, I received a phone call saying it was my all wheel drive powertrain unit/system and it had busted and was leaking fluid. The quote that the gentleman gave was a whopping $2200 and some change. I really thought I remembered purchasing a powertrain warranty, but is there a way to find out for sure if I did? I would appreciate more guidance on this situation because I am out of thousands of dollars and would love to have some financial assistance, if possible. Also, I wanted to initiate a recall for this because if I had been still on the highway driving, this could have turned out way different and I would hate to hear that others may not be as blessed as I was. I do not have my invoice yet because they are working on fixing my car still. I will save it once I do, if needed. Thank you in advance for investigating this safety concern and have a great day!

While driving on a highway going straight at 60 MPH my vehicle shuts off. We then have to stop the vehicle to restart it. This has been happening about 1x a week for about a month. There are no codes and all engine information reads fine.

There is a u67 by fca recall on my 2014 dodge journey which I was not notified by the dealer! I found out about the recall after paying to have the catalytic converter replaced mysel! However my car decided to go into a limp mode which it has done since I purchased the vehicle in 2013 but this time it is staying in limp mode so I researched recalls, there is also t47 and u49 when I towed my vehicle to the dealer they informed me the converter I had put on does not meet standards and they were going to replace it again and also do the other two recalls as well and then they informed me they could not do the u49 or u67 because the vehicle does not have the original engine! They told me and gave me documentation that the only recall done was t47 however they reported to fca that the u67 was complete when in fact it has not been completed! The vehicle is stuck in limp mode because it needs the PCM flashed and they will not do the recall u67 or u49 on my vehicle and sent me away to drive the vehicle 89 miles home in limp mode! This vehicle had had a PCM issue since I bought it in 2013 causing a number of unsafe malfunctions I mentioned in complaint # 11337435 and 11337440! This vehicle needs to be taken off the road and a new vehicle given to me free of charge or money back! Fca needs to know u67 has not been completed on my vehicle,
