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.
The vehicle turns off while driving even on the highway. Very dangerous other vehicles have a recall on this issue just not my VIN. The engine has had a knock on it even after being serviced.
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.
The contact owns a 2010 Dodge Journey. When the contact powered off the vehicle, the engine continued to run. The contact had to undo the battery cable to turn off the engine.

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.

Intermittent problems with the car starting, lights will flicker and car will make clicking noise after the initial flicker. The car could take anywhere from a few minutes to 1 or 2 hours to start. While driving the car will start to shake and then shut off when slowing down or coming to a stop (red light or stop sign). The car sometimes won't start up or will immediately shut off again while in the middle of a city street. This is a safety hazard because we have toddler and soon to be newborn who will almost always be in the car.
Vehicle randomly will not start. Brakes go stiff. All lights radio etc works, car just refuses to start (it is not even attempting to start) after a few hours car will start
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.
I have had intermittent starting problems, I put the fob in, turn the key, the dash lights come on, there is a click, but it will not turn over. I can wait from a few minutes to a couple of days before it works again. There is no set pattern and we have had everything checked. It left us in parking lots at work before while it wont start, causing us to be late picking kids up from school and even at the store. Looking online many people are having the same problem. If there is this many out there why is there not something being done about it?
