Filed Jul 3, 2023 · Transmission · 126,000 miles · SC

The contact owns a 2016 Dodge Journey. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, she heard a grinding sound coming from the vehicle and the vehicle started to jerk. The contact veered off the roadway and turned off and restarted the vehicle. The contact then stated while driving at slow speeds, the vehicle started to jerk and decelerated while the accelerator pedal was being depressed. The check engine warning light illuminated. The contact pulled off the roadway. The vehicle was towed to the residence and was inspected by an independent mechanic who retrieved DTC codes for transmission failure. The vehicle was then towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the transmission failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 126,000.

My abs, traction control, and my AWD service light all have been on making my car jump before I can accelerate and it then drives fine but today it would not allow me to go over 15MPH and all I could hear was grinding noises! This was the first time that has happened, I’ve replaced the wheel sensors, bearings, and all new tires it turned off for a couple months but now is back on! This is a huge hazard, I have 3 kids that were with me when the new incident happened and had to put my hazards on to make it into a gas station parking lot, this needs a recall on all senors, abs, cruise control, electrical, transmission. List goes on. What is it going to take for them to see many people have been complaining of the same issues at hand?? Is it going to take a serious or critical accident?? It should not have to get that far, I’ve complained a couple years ago and no one ever contacted about these issues. I just want my car safe for my kids! Please I beg of you to do something about these issues!

Front blowers blow hot air when A/C is turned on, defrost won’t work in winter, the backup camera keeps going black and glitching when in reverse, my abs, traction control, and AWD service keeps coming on, I have changed both front wheel sensors, wheel-barrings, brakes, and all new tires. It helped for a month no lights on and it drove amazing no issues and one day it started again and when I try to accelerate you can feel it not want to go, I hear a grind noise and then the car will jump super hard then the AWD service will kick on and traction control turns off and it will drive fine again. I have 3 kids and do not feel safe anymore driving my car! Im shocked there isn’t a recall on any of these issues considering there have and still are a lot of complaints on the same issues I’m having. Also cruise control won’t work. I seen it was recalled but previous owner had taken it in and got it replaced but it definitely is bad again. I know these issues can not be good on my car’s transmission or engine! Please help me! I’ve filed a complaint before and heard from no one.

Been having serious intermittent issues with my brakes. My traction control light and ABS lights would come on simultaneously and then brakes start to make a grinding noise as well as pedal starts to shake. Brought it into dealership on 10/6/19 as it was throwing a code for a wheel speed sensor. Had them replace that along with a full brake system check only for it to start having same issues 2 weeks later. I've read online of many other customers having the exact same issue only for dodge to slap a bandaid on it. I have 3 kids and do not feel safe driving them anywhere as it is a serious safety concern.

"sometimes" the ABS and traction control light turn on. I hear a ticking noise for a few seconds.. If I push on the breaks I can hear a grinding noise. The lights always turn off after a minute or two and the grinding noise only happens when both the ABS and tracking lights are on.

5-10-18 had to bring my vehicle in for a new tire and prior to the tire, the ABS light would intermittently pop on and off. This would happen mostly after I started the vehicle and after backing up and traveling a few feet, it would sound and feel like it would catch and grind, then release after traveling about a mile, it would go off. When I brought it in to get the tire replaced, I asked them to look at it, they said the ABS light was coming on because the battery was faulty and they replaced the battery. (I think maybe they just reset something) I asked them to give me an itemized list of parts changed for the work, and I never received it. I only received the invoice for the tire. Now.... Rear ended in dec 27, 2018 - between the accident and time it took holidays/insurance to get me an appointment with dealer, the ABS light started to pop on again and the radio screen grayed out and came back on(so far that has only happened once). My husband let them know to check that as well because there was impact damage on the left front bumper and dealer only repaired the damages reported by adjuster and didn't address the ABS/radio issue. So..... Now what? Feel like they just put a band aid on it until the warranty ran out and then again after damage sustained in an accident that was not my fault.

The truck has always shifted hard since I purchased it january 2016 but I figured it would just work its way out since it was brand new. Friday july 21st 2017 I was driving and started hearing a very loud grinding type of noise coming from the engine and I was just trying to make it home asap. All of a sudden while I was driving (25 MPH) I was slowing down and when I took my foot off the brake and went to accelerate again there was nothing there like no power at all just rpms going higher. I pulled over put the truck in park and back into drive and it wouldn't move anywhere at all. I turned the truck off and quickly put it in drive so I had some momentum and after 1st gear it did the same exact thing. I was 10 miles away from my house and had to repeat this process for over an hour just to make it to my driveway. The next morning I repeated the process in order to get it to the closest dodge dealership which I did safely. Now my truck has 53,500 miles on it and the dealership stated the transmission is blown. Great real great a brand new car and a blown transmission? It's ridiculous especially when dodge will not do loaner vehicles leaving me now paying hundreds of dollars out of pocket for a rental and still paying ny payments on top of this all. Something needs to be done to help people like me who are inconvenienced in these situations. I own my own business and drive 150+ miles a day I need a car and no one cares. I'm so furious and upset its not funny

Brakes started to squeak and grind. The front was replaced after 3 visits to the dealership. The truck is delayed when accelerating and slips when accelerating in drive. This issue has not been fixed for the propulsion. This happens in motion on city streets and highway. The lights flicker when in park.
