I went to start my 2009 Dodge Journey and it would only click when I turn the key. The lights on the dash and all accessories work but would not turn over. I've experienced this problem several times and asked the dealer have they had any issues like this and hey said no. I went to start it today and it just clicks, so I wait a couple hours like always and it starts but not now. It continues to click and won't start but after all the complaint don't wont to tow it to he dealer and pay 600 for a temporary fix.

Electrical system failure due to wiring harness melting, radiator cracked because bracket for ac is connected too tight when car is manufactured, battery died prematurely because of failed wires, rotors warped causing car to shake violently when braking. All these problems and others for a car with only 60,000 miles. Have spent over $2000 to date in repairs that numerous people have had related to this vehicle. Based on online complaints and talking to mechanics who have worked on this car no one can believe that the correct electrical recall has taken place. There have been electrical recalls on vehicle, but not for most common failure. No one understands why brake issue has not been recalled and no one understands why the radiators keep failing without a recall. Will it take a serious crash? safety of the consumer is at risk. You pay $20,000 for a car and think it will last awhile. This car has major problems that are consistent from buyer to buyer.

When I bought my car in 2009. I noticed that my brakes squeaked when I stop I took it back to the dealership, I was told that nothing was wrong. Keep complaining all the time, then the vibration started and I needed rotors and brakes. The aftermarket brakes doesn't fit had to replace them with the dealership brakes. Had to replace a two tire sensors. Had to have my rotors resurfaced will need new rotors. Recently the engine coolant overheating light came on. The fan stop working its electrical the mechanic can't figure out why it stop. My car sometimes doesn't start, took it to a mechanic. No reason why. When my air is on it takes the car longer to gain speed on the highway. I contacted the dealership where I purchased it and Dodge. Both were rude and didn't offer any help. I purchased the extended warranty and it didn't cover anything.

The 2009 Dodge Journey has many problems and complaints! mine is like many others first the brake system locked up and cost $300 to repair and now the care will not start or starts when it wants to. I took it to the dealer and they now say it is the key switch (electrical) and will now be a $400 bill out of my pocket. No coverage warranty is up, purchased used and was not told that their was a recall on the care when we purchased it. Dodge knows this car has problems but like normal they will not recall the car and fix their problems, they will however allow the care to be on the road and service them over and over because it makes them money. The claims of Dodge is false, this car is not a quality car and many owners have reported the many problems.

I purchased a 2009 Dodge Journey new in 2008. For the most part did not have any problems with the vehicle until may of 2012. Beginning in May 2012, the car will intermittently not start.

This has occurred at least 12 times in approx. 2 months. It is getting progressively worse with no solution available.

Since replacing the win in Oct. 2010, fob unlock button sets off alarm instead. In the past six months the car has randomly stalled immediately upon starting. In these same six months, the car has stalled randomlly while driving-- various speeds and road conditions. It is scary to drive a car that loses all power for no apparent reason! win module was replaced 6/21/2012-- second replacement in 1-1/2 years. I wonder if ts is a problem with the overall car wiring or the win modules.

Today after a short trip, the engine refused to start. It clicked, but nothing. Everything else worked. Doors locked and unlocked, windows opened and closed, but as for the starter, nothing. This is the 3rd time the car has refused to start first time. Both other times were less than a year ago. The dealer has not yet been contacted, so I don't know what it will do. A federal complaint will be filed and a link to this site will be provided. 45 or 46 similar complaints are far too many for this not to receive serious attention. The following link shows 45 other similar complaints. www.carcomplaints.com/Dodge/Journey/2009/electrical/engine_wont_turn_over.shtml.M

Vehicle will not start or crank. Electrical systems work when door is open, close the door nothing works. Battery has plenty of juice doesn't need jumped. Dash reads "badkey" for a milli second when you insert key fob. Wait an hour or so and the car will start up with no problems. Turn the car off and it will not start again. Dealership wants to replace win module as a "starting point" since their computers can't get code from the car.
