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.

Electrical issues: First occurrence: Alarm system kept going off even when the key was in ignition, only way to solve issue was to unhook horn. Second occurrence: Passenger side window will not roll down with power buttons on passenger side, however will roll down from driver side. Although every once in a while it will out of the blue work. Third occurrence: Without pressing on the key fob if anything rubs up against the key fob it unlocks car just lightly brushing skin against it but pressing the unlock will not unlock it. Fourth occurrence windows are rolling down on their own. At least once a day I will look outside and the windows are rolled down half way and its been 22 degree temps outside so I know for a fact they are not being rolled down intentionally, ive witnessed on one occasion them actually rolling down on their own.

While driving, all electrical goes out or flickers. The car will sometimes lose power on acceleration above 20mph regardless if turning, on highway or neighborhood roads. This has happen a few times since last month and thought it was my battery. I exchanged the battery and the issue wasnt resolved.

When trying to start vehicle I just get a click sound near the dash and no start. All light come on but no start. This has been and ongoing issue for two months and would selectively start when it wanted. Now it will not start at all. This has caused my battery to drain. Battery, alternator and starter all test fine. Research points towards the win module but my VIN was not issued in the previous recall.

The contact owns a 2010 Dodge Journey. In 2015, while driving 65 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact managed to pull into a fuel station where the vehicle restarted after a few minutes. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but the technician was unable to duplicate the failure. The contact called an unknown dealer in san juan capistrano, ca and was informed that there was no recall. The failure recurred in 2016 and the vehicle shut off while pulling into the driveway. The dealer was not made aware of the failure. In 2017, the vehicle took several attempts to start. The failure recurred in 2018 and the remote start key did not work. The vehicle was taken to an unknown dealer in tucson, Arizona where the remote start key was replaced. Most recently, after pumping fuel at the fuel station, the vehicle did not start. The contact waited a few minutes and the vehicle restarted. The dealer and manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

I noticed a clicking noise around the ignition switch, when the car is idling in park. I took my car in to the local Dodge dealer to be looked at. I was told the win module was going out and needed to be replaced. I know there is a recall on this, but my vehicle's VIN did not show a recall notice for this particular problem.

The 2010 Dodge Journey will randomly start honking, even when driving or sitting in traffic. It may be a long honk or several short beeps. After parking it will not start, there is power going to the vehicle, it just won't start. Have had battery changed, starter checked and alternator checked...all in good condition. It seems to have the mechanics stumped as to what to do in order to correct these problems. It has been ongoing for some time now, and after researching other 2010 Dodge Journey problems, it seems that this issue with honking and not starting is a huge issue. There are videos all over youtube and comments in car forums talking about the same problems and Dodge mechanics have no clue as to what to do, while the Dodge company simply does not care that these cars not as reliable as they should be.

As I was driving I tired to turn the wheel to go around a small curve on a city street and it wouldn't turn. I could feel the car staring to die. As I put the car in park to turn the ignition off the break pedal would not work. I was able to turn the car off and restart without any issues. Later my horn started honking on its own. And continues to honk randomly. Also the alarm randomly went off once yesterday. Today it has randomly honked all afternoon.

The vehicle continuously stalls while I'm driving. I have not driven on the highway because it's a major safety issue. The horn goes off crazily sometimes while parked. And, recently while driving locally in my neighborhood the car over heated. The engine light comes on off, and sometimes I have to wait a while before I can get the car to start. I have brought it to a private mechanic on numerous occasions and he's unsure of what's going on and questions recall. I have spent thousands of dollars and it's been a frustrating Journey with this Journey.

Horn starts beeping when parked. This is not happening all the time but occasionally at night when parked in our driveway or garage when we are sleeping and the horn chirping wakes us up. When I check on it it is silent. When parked in parking lot I was told my horn was going off and when I went out to check it was no longer making any noise. This past week while parked in my driveway, it started honking constantly to the point I had to remove the 2 fuses for it to stop.

My vehicle will randomly not start. I turn the key in the ignition and the lights and radio come on, but it only clicks and doesn't start. Then I attempt to start it again and it will magically start. This intermittent starting has no rhyme or reason and has left me stranded with my little girl. No mechanic or repair shop can figure out what is wrong.

The contact owns a 2010 Dodge Journey. The contact stated that she had two brand new batteries placed in her vehicle; however, they continued to drain. The contact stated that the usb outlet remained powered on and the cd player would activate while the vehicle was powered off. When the contact attempted to start the vehicle, it failed to start and made an unknown noise. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who jumpstarted the vehicle. Afterwards, the vehicle performed normally. The vehicle was later towed to O'daniel Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (5611 Illinois rd, fort wayne, in 46804, (844) 391-1759) due to the fuel gauge not providing the accurate reading. The technician performed diagnostic testing of the alternator and the battery, but could not find a failure code. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided case number: 59642545. The approximate failure mileage was 149,000.
