1st for no reason the horn goes off, I had to pull the fusees so I can keep my neighbors I'm driving around with no horn at this time. 2nd heater core was only heating one side of the car, 3rd passenger seat belt locks up the moment car starts.

2010 Dodge Journey with 20K miles, horn goes off randomly, sitting in garage or driveway, idle, not running. Key fobs are on the kitchen counter. Horn beeps 1 - 3 times, not steady or uniform. I've had it at the dealership 5X, they can't find anything wrong and of course it doesn't happen there. They've replaced the wiring harness from door to dash on drivers side and put a heat shrink tube on a wire + diagnostics for $1,000. I find similar complaints on the web but no resolutions. The Dodge "star" team and their customer care line have not been able to help at all. (zeigler Dodge in downers grove, il.)

The contact owns a 2010 Dodge Journey. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to crank. The driver had to shift the gear into neutral to start the vehicle, which did not always work. Mitchell automotive (1522 us-45 alt, West point, ms 39773, (662) 494-4344) was notified and diagnosed that the neutral safety switch/neutral range sensor failed to function. An independent mechanic was contacted for further diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 11V139000 (electrical system). The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and did not assist. The failure mileage was not available.

My vehicle was parked outside my home and the horn started blowing all by itself. This continued no matter what I tried (pressing the key fob buttons, pressing the horn manually, and starting the vehicle). We finally had to take the fuse out to get it to stop. The horn blew so much the neighbors called the police thinking that something was wrong.

My 2010 Dodge Journey started recently its not starting when I turn the key it just goes click. After a while it might start or if I put the car in neutral it might start. The horn also goes off on it's on from time to time. The vehicle was stationary the times it wouldn't start but it was both stationary and moving in traffic when horn went off.

This vehicle has had multiple issues. Starter sounds like it's sticking at start of engine this has always been a problem since we got the vehicle. In 2018 I had to replace the battery and the alternator because the car would shut off while driving, at one point with my 5yr old daughter exiting the freeway(a very scary and extremely unsafe experience) replaced water pump and top front hose after I found puddle of fluid from coolant tank. Other work done, replaced cv joints, loud clicking when sharp turns were made and shocks and struts replaced. Then all of a sudden the car shuts off while driving as it did before alternator was fixed. Now I'm experiencing more electrical issues lights turning on and off on their own, ac will blow air some times and other times no air at all. The traction light comes on and car will not go over 20-30 mph. Gas will not rev up. Going to get car towed to the mechanic today to diagnose. Seems to be a lot of people experiencing similar issues with this vehicle model. Something needs to be done, will be calling Chrysler and Dodge dealership.

For the past 2 years my car horn honks whenever it wants to, in traffic or parked in garage. Other drivers think I am honking at them (so far neither my wife nor I haven't encountered a disgruntled driver). Dodge dealership doesn't recognize this as an safety issue.

When inserting the key fob in the ignition sometimes, the car makes a clicking sound & won't start. To get the car to start when this occurs, you have to put the car in neutral, put your foot on the brake & turn the key fob & it finally starts - ridiculous. The key fob was replaced when we received the recall notice.awhile ago. Recall notice #11V-139. This issue is very annoying & needs to be rectified.
