The horn will sound without any notice and at any time of the day. You can be in the car or out of it. It can happen at multiple times of the day and can wake you up during the night. I contacted a dealership and was informed they had no knowledge of the problem. Although you can go on the internet and there are many complaints and they say they have had their vehicle into the dealership with no solution. It can be unsafe if you are driving down the road and the horn starts honking, but as I say it can happen in your garage at night. As far as I know there is no recall for this, but there should be. This has been going on for at least the last 12 months.

Horn constantly going off draining battery. So far I have replaced my battery twice. This has happened a few times, while driving, parked, on and off. Doesn't matter just keeps going off. We took the hot fuses out but the battery is still being drained by it.

I have been having ignition switch issues with my 2010 Dodge Journey--curiously similar to the issues that spurred a recall (RO3) with the same model/year Journeys--but my VIN didn't show up in the affected list. I took the Journey in to my Chrysler dealer to repair an ignition switch getting stuck, and the estimate was around $800 to repair the switch and reprogram the keys!

My car picks when it wants to crank. Sometimes it cranks by key manually and other times I walk outside to take the trash out, key no where near me, the truck is running. While driving the vehicle would just lose power. The lights on the dash would flicker on and off. The cars alarm would just randomly go off all hours of the night and day. For a full year no one could tell me what the problem was. The power kept draining from the battery even after I purchased an almost $200 battery. I took it to precision tune for a diagnostic test, after two days they still couldn't find a problem and finally on day three I call to find out it was the tipm, a part that's over $1000. Well this part is on back order and has been since January with Dodge. There is no estimated date of when they'll restock and there is almost 400 people in front of me. With this many problems this part should be recalled.

We have a 2010 Dodge Journey that began to have multiple and bizarre electrical issues. The horn began honking randomly and sometimes it just wouldn't start. Now we have battery issue. We replaced the battery but even the new battery drains overnight. I'm paying notes on a vehicle I cannot drive. I was fired from my job (attendance) and desperately need my vehicle to drive so I can get a new job.

I have had several incidents with this vehicle. On two different occasions as I was driving, as I began to brake, I lost all power and on two other occasions the vehicle wouldn't start and I had to call to get a jump, but was told my battery is good both times. The last incident happened on 4/23/2017 at 8:30 pm est. I got in to start it, but it wouldn't start and I called a service tech, who came out to jump start it, only to tell me that my battery is fine and that according to his equipment working properly. He was unable to start the car; however, I started it without incident this morning, but who knows how long before it wont star or just stops running as I'm driving and I lose lights, brakes, etc.
