2009 Dodge Journey AWD Problems

TAKARA RECALL: WHEN LEAVING WORK I STARTED MY CAR AND BEGAN TO BACK OUT OF THE PARKING LOT WHEN I WENT TO PUSH ON MY BRAKES TO STOP MY CAR MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AS IF I HAD NOTHING BUT AIR. I CALLED AND HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A LOCAL SHOP 4 DIFFERENT MASTER CYLINDERS PUT ON THE CAR TWO NEW CALIPERS ON THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT AND BACK REPLACED ALONG WITH A NEW ABS MODULE AND BRAKE LINE HOSE ON THE FRONT LEFT SIDE 2500.00 LATER AND I STILL HAVE NO FRONT LEFT BRAKES!!!! COMPLETE NIGHTMARE AND IT IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE NOT ONE PERSON CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS OH I SHALL ADD WE ALSO REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS!

MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS MALFUNCTION FROM INTERIOR LIGHTS AIR CONDITIONER BLEND DOOR HEADLIGHT INDICATOR SWITCH AND WINDOW SWITCH. CAR HAS HAD SEVERAL CALIPERS FAIL WITHIN OWNING THE USED CAR IN LESS THEN 2 YEARS. LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING. FUEL INDICATOR MALFUNCTIONS. ALL ELECTRICAL ISSUES STARTED AT THE SAME TIME. RADIO AND INTERIOR SCREEN MALFUNCTION. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR. THE KEY FOR WILL SET OFF ALARM WHEN HITTING UNLOCK.

TRANSFER CASE IS GOING OUT, AND VEHICLE WILL STALL AND NOT START AGAIN FOR A WHILE. VEHICLE WOULD NOT EVEN BACKUP, HAD TO CALL A TOLL TRUCK.

HORN HONKS RANDOMLY BY ITSELF. PARKED, MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, OR DRIVING THIS IS DANGEROUS DISTRACTING FOR ME AND OTHER DRIVERS. SCARY STARTLES ME AND FREAKS MY NEIGHBORS OUT! DRAINING MY BATTERY TOO. ALSO A CLICKING SOUND WHEN NOTHING ON. I GOOGLED IT AND WAS SHOCKED TO FIND HUNDREDS OF OTHERS COMPLAINTS. I CALLED CRYSLER THEY SAID TO MAKE A COMPLAINT HERE AND IF ENOUGH COMPLAINTS A RECALL WILL BE ISSUED. I SURE HOPE NO ONE GETS HURT OR DIES WAITING FOR THE MANUFACTURER TO CORRECT THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THEY CLEARLY KNOW ABOUT BUT WILL NOT ADDRESS UNLESS THEY ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO. WHAT A SHAME CONSUMERS PAY GOOD MONEY FOR SUCH POOR SERVICE. I KNEW I SHOULD HAVE STAYED WITH A GMC!

TRANSFER CASE IS GOING OUT, AND VEHICLE WILL STALL AND NOT START AGAIN FOR A WHILE. VEHICLE WOULD NOT EVEN BACKUP, HAD TO CALL A TOLL TRUCK.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, THE HORN BLOWS LIKE YOU ARE HOLDING THE HORRN DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES N TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY. IT ALSO HAS HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. WHILE WE WERE SLEEPING. WE THOUGHT SOMEONE WAS STEALING IT. AT LEAST 4 TIMES IT WENT OFF. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP IN OCT. 2017 THEY TOOK OUT THE HORN FUSES. BECAUSE IT BLOWED ALL NIGHT AND IT KILLED THE BATTERY. THEY CALLED IT THE GHOST HORN. SO I'M DRIVING AROUND NOW IN THIS VEHICLE WITHOUT A HORN.

CAR TRANSFER CASE SPLIT IN HALF GOING DOWN HIGHWAY CALIPERS FROZE UP

TRANSFER CASE IS GOING OUT, AND VEHICLE WILL STALL AND NOT START AGAIN FOR A WHILE. VEHICLE WOULD NOT EVEN BACKUP, HAD TO CALL A TOLL TRUCK.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM PROBLEMS. *BF THE CONSUMER STATED TPMS WAS CORRODED. UPDATED 09/26/2017*JS

LOW TIRE INDICATOR AS SOON AS I STARTED MY CAR. THEN THE CHANGE OIL INDICATOR FLASHED. I HAD JUST HAD AN OIL CHANGE AND ALL TIRES HAVE ACCURATE PRESSURE. SOMETIMES MY CAR WON'T START WHEN I TURN THE KEY BUT THE LIGHTS AND RADIO WILL WORK. THE SHIFTER PANEL GETS HOT SOMETIMES. THE WIPERS WILL MOVE UP A COUPLE OF INCHES WHEN I USE MY UNLOCK BUTTON ON MY KEY. MY DASH LIGHTS WILL FADE AND THEN COME BACK TO THE BRIGHTNESS I HAVE IT SET AT JUST RANDOMLY WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STARTED, DRIVING OR SITTING STILL. SOUNDS LIKE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. LOTS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THINGS OCCURRING, YET NO RECALLS AND THINGS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

RECIEVED A PETTER IN MAIL ABOUT A RECALL FOR MY CAR. THERE WAS AN ERROR IN THE POWER SUPPLY UNIT THAT COULD EITHER MAKE THE AIRBAG DEPLOY RANDOMLY WOTHOUT WARNING OR PREVENT IT FROM OPENING AT ALL IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT CALLED DEALERSHIP IN REFERENCE TO RECALL, WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART NESSESARY AND DID NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WOULD HAVE THE PART AND TO CALL BACK NEXT WEEK CALLED BACK NEXT WEEK AND WAS TOLD TO LEAVE A MESSSAGE THAT WOULD BE RETURNED, IT NEVER WAS. WENT IN PERSON AND WAS TOLD THEY HAD NO RECORD OF ME CALLING AND THEY STILL DID NOT HAVE THE PART.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2009 DODGE JOURNEY AWD. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE DRIVER RAN OVER A 4 INCH DEEP POTHOLE AND THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. THE DRIVER CRASHED INTO A TELEPHONE POLE. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED NECK AND BACK INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V047000 (AIR BAGS). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 79,000. UPDATED 02/21/17*LJ *CN

MY DODGE JOURNEY WILL NOT ALWAYS START IT WILL JUST CLICK THEN AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS IT WILL START. MY DRIVERS SIDE DOOR THE POWER WINDOW DOES NOT WORK IT JUST STOPPED WORKING. NOW MY GEAR SHIFT DOES NOT WANT TO SHIFT INTO GEAR, START THE CAR UP THE CAS TRACTION LIGHT IS ON AND THE GEAR WILL BE STUCK. SO I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF SEVERAL TIMES THEN I AM ABLE TO MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT. IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING TO GET IN YOUR CAR AND YOU CANNOT EITHER START IT OR IT JUST DO NOT MOVE .

TIRES WORE DOWN AT AN ALARMING RATE AT JUST UNDER 100 MILES AND BRAKE PADS ALSO. DOESN'T START AT SOME TIMES..JUST A CLICK...TURNS OFF FOR NO REASON...WHEN IN PARK IT ACTS LIKE IT WANTS TO MOVE FORWARD ...CANNOT KEEP AN ALIGNMENT

I HAD TO HAVE TRANSMISSION REPLACED WHICH I FILED A COMPLAINT ALREADY AND SINCE THAT THE ESP , ALL WHEEL DRIVE, SKIDDING AND ANOTHER LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND OFF AND MY BRAKES ONLY WORK HALF THE TIME AND NOW MY DRIVER WINDOW WONT GO UP OR DOWN OR MIRROR WORK AND TODAY MY CAR WONT START. MY HUSBAND CHECKED FUSES THEY ARE GOOD BUT HAVE NO POWER TO OVER HALF OF THEM. I CALLED TATE DODGE THEY WANT ANOTHER 1102.00 JUST FOR ME TO BUT THE TIPM PART AND DO THE WORK MYSELF. I CANT BREAK A FUSE BOX AND DO NOT FEEL THIS IS FAIR AND UNLESS I REPLACE THEN MY CAR DONT WORK NOW.

THE POWER STEERING RETURN HOSE AT THE RACK POSITION BROKE IN BELOW FREEZING CONDITIONS WHEN I FIRST STARTED IT A FEW WEEKS AGO. THE HOSE IS BROKE AND IT'S LEAKING POWER STEERING FLUID AND IT'S HARD TIME STEER THE VEHICLE AT TIMES. OTHER 09 DODHE JOURNEYS HAVE BEEN RECALLED, BUT MINE, SXT AWD WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ACCORDING TO THE VIN NUMBER. I FEEL IT SHOULD BE AND THE HOSE IS STILL CURRENTLY BROKEN. I AM ON A FIXED INCOME AND THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY CHRYSLER INSTEAD OF OUT OF MY POCKET. IT IS HIGHER MILEAGE AND THE MOTOR IS NOT THE ORIGINAL BUT THAT SHOULD NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO ME. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT.

POWER STEERING RETURN LINE RUPTURED ON A -20F MORNING. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND I LOST POWER STEERING. I DIDN'T NOTICE UNTIL I WENT TO TAKE A CORNER. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE THE CORNER BUT CAME CLOSE TO HITTING A SNOW BANK. THE SPEED WAS LOW SO I HAD TIME TO REACT. AFTER THAT I BROUGHT IT TO MY LOCAL DODGE DEALER AND IT WAS REPAIRED. THE TOTAL BILL WAS 383.17. IT'S FUNNY THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR AND MODEL YET MINE ISN'T RECALLED. THE RECALL EXPLAINS WHAT HAPPENS AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPEND TO MY JOURNEY.

I HAVE A 2009 DODGE JOURNEY SXT AWD. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN OCT 2008. THE ISSUES WERE BRAKE/CALIPER FAILURE, WATER LEAK, WIRING HARNESS, IGNITION FAILURE ETC(THE LIST GOES ON). RECENTLY ON JULY 10-13 2011 MY VEHICLE WOULD AUTOMATICALLY STALL WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP OR IDEAL BRAKIN. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT REASON FOR STALLING. THE STATED IT WAS DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION WIRE BEING FRIED AND IT WAS GOING TO COST ME $227 TO REPLACE WIRE. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND PLACED A CASE IN REGARDS TO MY CONCERN AS I FELT THIS WAS A WARRANTY/SAFETY ISSUE. I ALSO, INQUIRED ABOUT THE BUY BACK PROGRAM AS EVERY 3K TO 6K MILES SOMETHING GOES WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE THAT IS NEVER MINOR. I WAS WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR 3 DAYS DUE TO THE NEGLIGENCE AND FOLLOW-UP BETWEEN CHRYSLER CASE MANAGER AND DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE MANAGER. I HAD NO TRANSPORTATION LEAVING MYSELF AND CHILD STRANDED. THEREFORE, DUE TO NO RESPONSE I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT FIXED & PAID FOR IT AS I NEEDED MY VEHICLE BACK. THAT SAME DAY I GET A CALL FROM THE CASE MANAGER STATING THEY ARE UNABLE TO COMPENSATE ME DUE TO VEHICLE ALREADY BEING REPAIRED/PICKED UP. I WAS SO DISGUSTED AND UPSET AT THE FACT THE DISREGARDED MY CONCERN AND COULD CARE LESS. *TT

2009 SXT AWD DODGE JOURNEY IS A REPLACEMENT FOR THE INITIAL JOURNEY WE PURCHASED WHICH WAS A LEMON. WE PICKED UP THIS CAR 5/2009. IT HAD A STRANGE SMELL, MUCH LIKE PROPANE WHEN THE ENGINE WAS WARM. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY AFTER SEVERAL VISITS. WE GAVE UP. THIS PROBLEM CONTINUED FOR THE LAST YEAR - PROGRESSIVELY THE SMELL WORSENED. ON THURSDAY, 10-28-10 WHILE ON INTERSTATE 270 I NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM MY ENGINE, AND THE PROPANE SMELL WAS ALMOST OVER POWERING. I PHONED THE DEALER AGAIN. THEY SAID TO BRING IN ON MONDAY, 11-1-10. ON THE EVENING OF 10-31-10 I NOTICED DRIPPING COMING FROM THE CAR ON MY GARAGE FLOOR. I WAS ABLE TO PUT A PAN UNDERNEATH AND TAKE TO DEALER MONDAY MORNING. AT THE DEALER 11-1-10, I WAS TOLD THIS FLUID WS "GEAR FLUID." SEVEN HOURS LATER I PHONED DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY HAD TO ORDER A PTU SEAL. PLEASE, PLEASE GOOGLE OR SEARCH YOUR SITE FOR PTU ISSUES ON THIS CAR. THERE HAVE BEEN FIRES CAUSED, ENGINE FAILURES, ETC. EVEN AFTER THE PTU SEAL HAS BEEN REPLACED IT DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. WITHIN A FEW WEEKS IT APPEARS THAT WHEN THIS INITIAL SEAL IS BREACHED, IT DAMAGES THE OTHER SEALS, WHICH IN TURN CAUSES PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND BRAKING SYSTEM. ALSO, NOTEWORTHY, I JUST HAD TO HAVE MY BRAKES AND ROTORS REPLACED AT 18,000 DUE TO THE "TURNING BLUE." AND NOW, AFTER THAT WORK MY STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY, WHICH THE DEALER CAN'T SEEM TO FIGURE OUT WHY. I AM ALSO FILING A COMPLAINT WITH CONSUMER AFFAIRS, THE ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE (MARYLAND) AND MOST LIKELY WILL BE GETTING A LAWYER. THE DODGE JOURNEY IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM FOR OUR ROADS. *TR

12/7/15 TOOK 2009 JOURNEY WITH 58575 MILES TO DODGE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE COMING ON BY THEMSELVES. DEALERSHIP REPLACED 2 WINDSHIELD WIPER SWITCHES COSTING $552.44. DROVE VEHICLE OUT OF SHOP 12/8/15 GOT 1/4 MILE AWAY AND WIPERS TURNED ON BY THEMSELVES IN ADDITION THE LEFT SIGNAL TURNED ON. DROVE BACK TO DODGE PICKED UP LATER AND WAS ADVISED THEY UPDATED TIPM SOFTWARE - NO CHARGE BECAUSE I CALLED DODGE COMPLAINTS. 2/26/16 PROBLEMS STATED AGAIN CURRENTLY HAVE APPOINTMENT TO BRING BACK TO DODGE DEALERSHIP 3/7/16 WILL UPDATE

THIS HAS BEEN THE WORST VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED IT IS A '' LEMON. '' *TR

I WAS ON INTERSTATE 55 GOING NORTH WHEN MY TIRE BLEW OUT CAUSING DAMAGE TO MY CAR. THERE WAS NO WARNING OR ANY OTHER VARIABLEL THAT CAUSED IT IT JUST BLEW OUT WHILE I WS GOING ABOUT 70 MILES AN HOUR. I PURCHASED THIS TIRE A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO BRAND NEW SO I WAS TOLD AT THE PLACE WHERE I PURCHASED IT. I COULD HAVE HURT OR KILLED BUT THANK GOD I DID NOT PANIC. I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK THANK GOD MY WIFE WAS NOT IN IT WHEN IT BLEW OUT.

REAR RATTLING (METAL ON METAL) UNABLE TO LOCATE. HEARD WHEN WINDOWS ARE DOWN AND DRIVING OVER A BUMP. *TR

MY 2009 DODGE JOURNEY VEHICLE IS POSSESSED AS IT SOMETIMES LEAVES US STRANDED AFTER RUNNING OUT ON A SHORT ERRAND, SO AFTER STOPPING AND PARKING THE VEHICLE FOR SHORT PERIOD OF TIME THEN IT WILL NOT START. WE'VE TRIED TO ELECTRICALLY JUMP THE BATTERY BUT THIS HAS NO EFFECT. IT SEEMS IF YOU GIVE IT SOME TIME, PERHAPS TO COOL OFF LIKE 30 MINUTES THE CAR WILL START AGAIN. WE'VE REPLACED THE BATTERY THREE (3) TIMES IN THE PAST 18 MONTHS BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. THE ELECTRICAL POWER WINDOWS WILL NOT OPEN BUT THEN THEY DO. THE FOBIX KEY'S KEYLESS ENTRY DOES NOT WORK SOMETIMES, THE PARKING LIGHTS ARE FOUND ON WHEN EVERYTHING IS OFF. THE WIRELESS IGNITION NODE AND IT'S MATCHING FOBIX KEYS HAVE BEEN REPLACED THREE TIME TO NO AVAIL.

MY TEENAGE DRIVER WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAD COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER, SHE MANAGED TO PULL TO SIDE OF HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE STARTED RIGHT UP AND WE MERGED BACK ON THE HIGHWAY ONLY TO HAVE A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER AGAIN. WE TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WAITED 10 MINUTES. THE CAR STARTED AND WE MADE IT HOME. TWO DAYS LATER WHILE ON A RURAL ROAD THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AGAIN. ALL WIRES AND CONNECTIONS CHECKED OUT TIGHT. WAITING TO HAVE IT TOWED AS DON'T WANT TO RISK AN ACCIDENT. *TR

WE BOUGHT A 2009 DODGE JOURNEY SXT BACK IN MAY 09. IN THE LAST MONTH FEB 2010 ON, THE AUTOMATIC LOCKING/SECURITY MECHANISM FOR THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR HAS FAILED (SCHEDULED TO BE LOOKED IN TWO DAYS) AND TODAY OUR TRANSMISSION/GEARBOX LITERALLY EXPLODED UNDER THE HOOD AT 6,000 MILES. WE WERE DRIVING DOWN A BACK ROAD ON THE WAY TO STORE WHEN A STRING SMELL OF BURNING CAME INTO THE CABIN AND THEN WE HEARD A SEVERE POP AND THEN NOTHING BUT BILLOWING SMOKE. WE HAD OUR TWO YOUNG CHILDREN IN CAR SEATS AND IMMEDIATELY STOPPED THE VEHICLE TO TRY AND GET THEM AWAY FROM THE POSSIBILITY OF THE ENGINE BEING ON FIRE. WE GOT THE KIDS OUT AND I WENT BACK TO SHUT OFF THE CAR ONCE I SAW IT WASN'T FUEL LEAKING. ONCE IT COOLED DOWN AND STOPPED SMOKING I RAISED THE HOOD AND SAW WHAT LOOKED TO BE BURNT TRANSMISSION FLUID AND SMALL METAL FLAKES ALL OVER MY ENGINE AND UNDERSIDEOF THE HOOD. SO IT WAS JUST TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO FIND THE CAUSE. SO NOW I HAVE A CAR WITH A FAULTY SECURITY SYSTEM AND POSSIBLY NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION AND WE ONLY HAVE 6,000 MILES ON THE CAR. STILL WAITING FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO DO THE WORK. ON A SIDE NOTE, WITH ALL OF THESE ISSUES ON A BRAND NEW CAR WE MAY BE EXPLORING LEGAL OPTIONS IF CHRYSLER DOESN'T MAKE THIS RIGHT. *TR

I HAVE A 2009 DODGE JOURNEY R/T WHICH HAS LED COURTESY LAMPS OVER HEAD AND UNDER THE DASH ON BOTH SIDES AS WELL AS A REAR DOME. THE OVERHEAD DOME AND FRONT LED'S ARE CONTROLLED BY OPENING THE DOORS AS MOST COURTESY LAMPS ARE. HOWEVER THE UNDER THE DASH COURTESY LAMPS ARE CONTROLLED WITH THE DASH INSTRUMENTATION LAMPS, THEREFORE WHEN YOU DRIVE WITH THE HEADLAMPS ON, THEY ARE ALSO ON. THIS MAKES DRIVING AT NIGHT VERY DIFFICULT AS THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE IS ILLUMINATED, CAUSING GLARE AND POOR VISIBILITY OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, AS OF FRIDAY 6/26/09 THEY NOW INFORM ME THAT IS THE WAY IT IS MADE AND CAN'T BE CHANGED. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND UNACCEPTABLE. *TR
