I purchased a 2013 dodge journey approximately 8 months ago. Before I bought it I asked the salesperson if the front end was out of alignment, as it pulled to the right. He told me everything was checked, and it was in excellent condition. He told me the reason it pulled to the right is that the roads were made with a slight slant for water to run off. It continued to pull, although it was drivable. When the snow fell, Oct. 2021, and the roads were packed with snow and ice I could barely keep the vehicle on the road. It kept wanting to swerve off the road to the right. I had to drive 20 miles an hour to and from work on bad roads. There were times I had to stop as I felt little to no control. I had never had anything like this happen to me. I called Iron Trail Motors in Virginia, MN (where I purchased it) and explained what was happening. The person I spoke to said their car was slipping back and forth, also. She said she had an SUV and they aren't easy to control in the winter. I've had to replace 3 different wheel bearings in that time. I was just in the shop last week. They told me the reason the wheel bearings were going is the LR and RR upper and lower control arms were bad. Lateral links. They must have been bad when I bought the vehicle, along with many other repairs. The work they need to do is $1200 -$1700. I was informed driving with a bad control arm is dangerous. To start, a control arm is a hinged suspension link situated between the chassis and the suspension upright or hub that attaches to the wheel. If something is wrong with the control arm, the following can happen: Your steering will be unpredictable and hard to control Your vehicle may pull to one side, even when you are holding the steering wheel straight It still needs to be repaired.

My 1010 dodge journey horn intermittently honks non-stop. No pattern to the honking. Does it when engine is off, on, or when driving. Chrysler/dodge dealership had car from 8 am to 5:30 pm. Removed steering wheel, rerouted wome wires. Envoice said said 'referred to star case s150800292. Checked key fobs, one tested good, the other was intermittent at times'. They found no problem. Said for he to advise them if it happens again. Paid $116.13 for diagnosis, but found no problem as to why horn would honk randomly. Drove home, parked car in garage, no honking. Next morning went into garage & horn started blasting on & off intermittently. Had to pull left & right horn relays (once again) from fuse box. Still no answers, still no horn. With road rage the way it is today, I find this to be a major safety issue, that should have been addressed years ago. I've found many frustrated 2010 dodge journey owners on a dodge forum, with same problem, and no answers. Paying a lot of money to dodge dealers, with no results or answers.

On 6/4/2018 I picked up my vehicle from the service department at my local dealership after taking it in for the ABS and traction control lights being on and loss of power. The dealership advised they did an update on the power control model and fixed a wheel speed sensor. While on the freeway about 9 miles away from the dealership the lights (ABS and traction control) came back on and the rpms went up. The vehicle was in cruise control and the vehicle had a 5mph loss in speed but went back up to 65mph with the raise in rpms. While going to exit the freeway and applying the brakes the cruise control would not disengage. I immediately placed the vehicle in neutral and turned the engine off and pulled to the right hand shoulde allowing the vehicle to coast to a stop.. After pulled over I applied the brake and placed the vehicle in park and turned the vehicle back on. The ABS and traction control lights remained illuminated. I called the dealership and was advised to bring the vehicle back and I advised I would bring it back in the morning and would not use the cruise control. This is now the second time the vehicle will be going to the dealership for the same issues which include the ABS and traction control lights being illuminated with the traction control and ABS not working, loss of power and high rpms and bluetooth not working (not a major concern). This is the first time the cruise control has failed to disengage and only my fourth time using cruise control as it is a new vehicle and I don't use it much on the freeway.

Over the last 3 years I have had an excessive amount of work done on my brakes. On the front wheels, both have had 3 new sets of rotors, 2 of which had to be resurfaced, 3 sets of brake pads, 2 new calipers for the left and 1 for the right, 1 brake hose and 1 hub bearing for the left. The rear tires have had a new set of rotors, which were resurfaced today, and a new hub bearing on the rear left. The vehicle has never been wrecked, and I can confidently say my driving is not the cause of this issue. When the brakes have gone bad, I hear a squeal, there is vibration in the wheel and the brake pedal, and the car would pull to the left or the right, depending on which caliper needed to be replaced. This is a serious safety hazard that needs to be addressed on a much higher level than on the consumer's dime.

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.

I bought this car on november 2013. After first/second week of use I realized that when driving the car was pulling to the right. I went to the dealership and tried to make an alignment without success. Then the problem came back and went to dealership (like 5 times) and they said that were the tires (20,000 miles on that moment). So, several weeks after tire replacement the car pulling came back and now with 40k+ miles on odometer the problem persist. Actually I will buy 4 more tires for second time and the car is aligned. I measured the chasis but was ok with no bents or damage but I tried to measure the wheelbase of the car (from center to center of the wheels on left and right side). Surprisingly the left side measures 115 inches and the right side measures 114 inches (here is the problem). Actually I'm asking for car replacement in a court case. Ps - during the first month of use, I tested a 9miles vehicle (same brand, same configuration) and has the same problem and the dealership did nothing. Updated 12/13/2017
