Headlight on passenger side does not work on high or low beams. It started not coming on the next morning after they where working fine 6 hours earlier and I've had everything checked and can't seem to find nothing wrong except them not working. I even replace the bulbs and they still didn't work and nothing was wrong with the old bulbs though the mechanic did not find nothing wrong I think it's the plug-in that you plug the light into.

Recall R03/NHTSA 14V-373: My dealer can not make this repair as it claims insufficient parts and a large back log of cars needing this recall. The dealer claims it receives repair kits on a 1 for 1 basis, getting only a few kits at a time. I have attempted this recall repair three times, each time being turned away due to no kit on hand. The vehicle has had a number of ignition module failures while driving, and a previous recall kit (L25) was installed.

I was driving on highway 29 going to columbia md in a heavy rainstorm and my electric system in my truck shut off, I could see because the everything that needed power just stopped working in the middle of the highway. The car was still running but the computer system had shut off and I had a car full of kids. This scared us so bad, luckily I was able to ease to the side of the road where I turned that car off and back on to check if the electric system would come on. It did but as we got off the exit it cut off again.

Bought 2010 Dodge Journey (used) from tom wood Ford dealership. I have made 3 payments. The vehicle would not start leaving me stranded in a parking lot. I tried to jump it without success. When I turned the key to jump it, white smoke came from the engine compartment and there was a strong odor of melting plastic. I grabbed my kid and belongings and fled the vehicle. I had it towed to shop. They replaced the battery and sent me on my way. The next day it started rough. I drove it approximately 2 miles to a gas station. It would not restart. Had it towed back to shop for further evaluation. All lights, radio, power windows, etc. Are functioning, starter makes clicking sound, alternator checked out ok, new battery installed, but it will not start. Mileage is 81,759.

The horn beeps randomly. It seems to happen more right before a thunderstorm hits or when a storm is in the area. Also the car sometimes won't start. The starting problem has been an on going problem since the first year of owner ship. I'm the original owner and have had the car in for all of the recalls including the fob replacement. I feel this car is a lemon and wish I had never purchased it. My Plymouth Voyager was a very dependable car and I was expecting the same from the Journey but that has not been the case with this car.

Takata recall when slowing down to a stop light the car locked the steering and breaks. The traction control light came on. I was unable to come to a complete stop and ended up going halfway through the light. I turned the car off then back on. It was fine. About a month later the same thing happened as we were driving on the highway. We had no control over the steering or breaks. I contacted the dealer and they said there was no open recall so they would not fix it for free. I just bought the car two months ago.

"takata recall" on 4/06/2016, my keypad would not lock my doors. On 04/09/2016, it began to work again. After starting my engine and driving my car for 1 minute, my car stalled on me. I proceeded to start my vehicle again, only for it to shut down for the second time. After my vehicle immediately shut down, everything went completely out. I could not let my windowa down, doors would not lock nor unlock radio will not play. Windshield wipers would not work. When I attempted to jump start my vehicle with a boost, smoke begin to appear from under the hood near the battery posts. I contacted a Dodge dealership in my area and are currently waiting on the diagnostic results. I will be visiting the NHTSA site today to provide you with an update.
