Dodge Journey steering noise problems

Filed Jun 7, 2021 · MD

1- My steering started making a noise when I would make a right turn. I took it to the dealer service and they informed me that the metal battery holder completely rusted away and the battery dropped down onto the inner wheel well and when I made a turn it would hit the tire and steering arm. When this started I had not driven the car after that because I felt unsafe. So I called Chrysler Customer Service and ask them to refund my money for the repair ($700+} since I Told them of possibly be injured or killed if the steering locked up while driving. They gave me a case number and said they would review it. They denied the request and blew me off with " it's out of warranty". I said I knew that and you were not concerned with my family's safety. So I need your help to recalling all Journeys which could happen to them. 2- The lugs nuts on dodges are covered in a casing and after a few years they separate from the nut. This is a big problem because the lug wrench not longer fits and I had to buy a MM deep socket to fit that nut when I would have fix a flat tire. You should review that too.

Randomly my car will start just fine one day then the next it will fail to start sometimes on the same day. I have actually been stuck somewhere because my car has failed to start. It just makes a clicking noise when turning the key to start the car. I usually have to wait a while for it to finally start. This happens randomly when parked for short periods or long periods. I notice when it's hot and humid is when I usually have the problem more. I recently changed my starter and it's still giving me the issue. Also have changed and had the battery replaced and still the same issue and again just happens randomly.

This vehicle has electrical issues. The doors lock automatically when the tailgate is opened. The radio and climate control come on by themselves even after turning it off multiple times. The steering makes a whining noise especially when you are turning to the left. The awd and traction control is off and the service awd light comes on. The cruise control stopped working when there was a loud "thump" in the rear end and all the traction and awd dashboard lights came on. All these problems are evident and occur while driving.

My 2010 dodge journey is leaking power steering fluid, will not hold power steering fluid, making loud grinding noises wen I turn, accelerate etc. This is a recall and this VIN should be included in that recall. I am so disappointed with chrysler dodge because this is a common issue. If need be I will file any kind of suit necessary! There are many others with the exact problem exact model and year, it's not a coincidence

The heater works great on the driverside and blows cold on the passenger side no matter what you do.autostart doesn't work when it's cold out, thought that was the point of it but guess not.makes a really loud winding noise when I starting it,also goes into gears hard most of the time. Got the hard to find 225/55/19 tires on it and my brakes make a lot of noises. My front end makes a bunch of popping and grinding when turning left or right going forward or backwards, heatsheild is falling off around the driveshaft. Service all wheel drive light comes on often, the park assist stopped working ,taillights flickering often, one of my fobs works when it wants to even with a new battery.driver seat is also starting to act up to having to wiggle the switch around to make it work. No one wants to fix the problems with my journey rt making me regret getting this SUV I was practically forced into buying/trading it and when I went to the place of purchase a few days after getting was promised these issues fixed and I'm still waiting will not put my children in this car going to get rid of this nightmare soon as I get the chance since this so called 4star safety raiting is bs don't feel safe at all

Driver side front window/locks/mirror controls don't work. Rear window controls do work on driver side. Locks and passenger window controls work on passenger side. All is exactly as in safety recall k07-front door wiring harness (stopped with model year 2009) so why is my exact problem (2010) shared by so many other 2010s on the internet, too? I am frustrated. Mechanic cannot find problem. Considering buying a new master switch for driver door-others say replacing it didn't work! It's a known problem-symptoms exact and to the "t"...recall window cutoff too soon!!! Was notified of ignition/key fobick recall, thankfully! Car occasionally almost dies, chugs, and keeps running. Car starts and runs great-intermittent almost dying thing always out of the blue! Not notified about high pressure power steering hose leaking problem-just paid to have that replaced. Power steering makes terrible noise when turned to right. Suspension rattles like a box of bones! What next? I'm getting the sense that this vehicle isn't safe to drive (esp. W/my son in the car)! Diagnostics and repair bills and quotes really starting to stack up-the more I look into this 2010 dodge journey regarding my problems, seeing so many others with same exact problems-really surprised that the recall list isn't more than it is! How many people have to live through the same poor quality issues before the manufacturer takes care of these sometimes seemingly pandemic problems??? Started before 116,000 miles - now 120,115 miles.
