Vehicle does random no start just clicks had starter replaced did not fix issue. I read on internet tells me to move gear selector back and forth or just put it in neutral to start up. When my Journey does not want to start I have to put it in neutral and it starts right up, another issue I just noticed is the when turn heater on the passenger side vents blow cool air other vents are hot.

Horn goes on randomly. Mostly in the middle of the night. It has sounded while driving without driver pushing horn pad. I am concerned that it may cause a road rage issue if it goes on while driving. Also a concern that if it goes on during the night, that it may be presumed to be an alarm an cause unnecessary call for police to investigate. This has been going on for months and I had topull fuses to stop it. Multiple people complaining online about this issue with Dodge vehicles.

My Dodge Journey will leave me stranded, in what it seems, the most inconvenient times. This issue will happen at least twice a week now. I will turn the ignition and tried to start the car, but all I'll get is a "click" sound. Sometimes putting the car in neutral works, most of the time doesn't. sometimes I can't even get the car out of park, even when the key is inserted and moved to start. What it seems to work almost everytime is to wait it out. It's a huge waste of time, but I've waited anywhere from 18 minutes up to 1 hour and 34 minutes. I've taken the SUV on multiple occasions to the dealership and spend more than $2,000 in apparent fixes that doesn't do anything. I've done recalls for the ignition and the wire harness, as well as replacing the battery (twice), starter (three times) and the neutral safety position switch (once). Called Dodge on multiple occasions, but their response is that they don't know what's causing this problem and that apparently there's not enough complaints about this issue. This is the vehicle my wife uses to go to work and take the kids around. I've read that some people, their vehicles, just stopped working in the middle of the street while they were driving. Super unsafe and Dodge doesn't want to take responsibility for their malfunction.

My car has an intermittent problem with starting. I have only had this vehicle for 6 weeks and it has failed to start on many different occassions. I have had it towed to the dealership two separate times and they tell me they don't know what's wrong with it. I figured out that when my car won't start, while in park, I can turn the key to the on position and move the shifter into neutral. It starts at this point. Each time that my vehicle has failed to start, it has been in park in my driveway, on a slight incline.

It started with a window not going up, then the electrical wires to the front left headliggt burned out and melted the bulb connector. Bulb connector was replaced and it happened again. Keyless entry fobs stopped working, batteries were changed and fobs were tested but they still don't work. Alarm goes off at random times and takes us starting and moving the car 50 feet to turn it off. The other night the car horn went off in the middle of the night randomly, about 12 times. Now the hornnis going off as we drive for no reason. This car ckearly has electrical issues. Electrical parts keep burning out causing me to change them for reinspection time by the state.

My car won't start intermittently and often dies and often in a dangerous intersection. I have my grandchildren with me and it is very dangerous when the care suddenly dies with no warning in the middle of an intersection. Also, I can turn the car off and it may or may not start, then suddenness for no reason starts. This concerns me as I live in austin Texas and I am concerned about being on a toll or freeway and having an accident because the care suddenly dies. We have checked everything and according to the hundreds of forums the tipm is the problem, but Dodge refuses to fix or recall this problem even though it is happening to so many folks. These cars are often used to haul children around and my concern is that one day soon someone is going to be killed due to this problem.

Car intermittently will not start no error code comes up. Dealership has replaced the battery, alternator, and starter and the issue is still happening. I've taken it to several mechanics and they are unable to resolve. When trying to start the car it only clicks and won't start. This is when vehicle is stationary and its been going on for months.

On hot days car began leaking automatic transmission fluid from assumed vent on top of cable shifter linkage. Car was sitting and not driven in a approximately 3 days and was positioned in a forward incline. Dip stick showed high on the fill tube above hash marks. Also horn blaring without touching. Regardless if someone is in the car or not. The horn will go off all times of day or night. It is a honk. Honk....hoooooonk.....hoooooooonk. Best way to describe it is someone is angry or an emergency is taking place and other drivers need to move. It is random on when this will happen

1st thing was the horn, randomly honking at all hours of the day of night. It had stopped.... for now.... but now my car is not starting. For some reason it won't turn over, I can turn key to let it do it's emission test before starting then turning key to start, it just clicks and doesn't start. Car has done it at grocery store, daycare, work, even shut off by itself while stopped at a red light.

The horn is going off when the car is parked in my driveway. It is also going off when I am driving on the road. I couldn't get it to stop going off, my husband had to take out the horn fuse. I now have no horn, also that means I have no alarm. This is a safety issue.
