The vehicles battery drains overnight with nothing left on. The horn goes off on its own weather the vehicles is in motion or parked. The vehicles cut off in the middle of the freeway and mechanic guy can not find anything wrong. I have seen many complaints from customers with same problem on other platforms online.

Tamara recall- my horn randomly honks while I'm driving, sitting at a red light, and while it's parked. The beep will last as long as 5-10 seconds. All times of the day. Yesterday 2/15/19 replaced thepart# P/N 4692305ai power module inv# 11491 and it still honks randomly today 2/16/19. It's very dangerous now days and I live in the city. This has happened numerous times in the last month a before the repair. And numerous times 6 months ago. Then I went to a dealership and had my remote tested it was fine. The honking happened a few more times then stopped until a month ago.today 2/16/19 is the start of the third series of this problem.

Cars horn starts beeping whenever it wants. Traction control goes off whenever it wants keeping us from getting car in drive. Lost power to everything when driving down highway. Return line of power steering pump has ruptured 6 times in the last year. It just did it again 1-20-2019. The last rupture wasted the pump.

Passenger side heat does not work. Only blows out cold air in all vents, defrost, front and feet. Causes windows to fog up and bad visibility and also does not keep you warm. Also at times it will not allow you to change the heat controls such as from defrost to front or feet. Happens no matter if car is parked or driving. The colder out is is the worse the problem. Huge safety issue living in Minnesota. Also serched google and there were 100's of the same complaints in Dodge Journeys all different years.

As a Dodge owner I been having problems with the ignition or the ignition key. The car does not start immediately like you would expect it in a normal way to get it to start. Starts when it feels like it. There have been times that I have to wait for more than an hour or get a jump star form a good samaritan, but it will not respond with a jump either. It has been frustrated for the last 2 years. I took it back to the place I bought it from and it was an in and out of the shop for about a couple months and the problems was never resolved. Now days it just dies and I have to jump start it and works for a day, then stops again...... it is soooo frustrated. For the last couple month my car has been in and out of the shop and the problem is the same. Some told me recently to check for any recalls.

Car turns off while driving and traction control light goes on. Steering and breaks do not work when this happens creating an emergency situation for driver and passengers as well as the public as crash is very possible. Car will not start immediately upon attempting to restart. If it does start, within 5 minutes the car will shut down again mid drive. Car fails to accelerate above 1500 rpms right before car shuts off..

November 20, 2018 \ horn for my 2010 Dodge Journey SE has been going off by itself repeatedly over the past 2 years. Happens without warning and at all times of the day and night goes off while parked in my driveway and while going down main streets and highways. Length of time it goes off varies. This has drained my battery and has on occasion, has completely disabled my horn. Local Dodge dealer, interstate Dodge, West monroe, la, said they found no problem with the horn when I took it in for service. However, it still goes off without notice. Most recently today, 11\20\2018. It finally stopped when I turned the ignition to "acc". am seriously concerned the entire electrical system of my 2010 Dodge Journey SE is at risk. This car could "die" on me in traffic.
