I walked outside to my Journey and the passenger side front headrest was deployed with no occupancy at the time. The little black clips are broken and I cannot pull it back down to disengage.

For a a few years now I have dealing with horn honking on its own. In the middle of the night, while driving, while parked randomly. I've been trying to solve the issue and nothing works. I read lots of complaint with the same issue on dodgeforum.com but again no solution. On 2/17/20 I nearly had a bad accident because I dont have a horn, I've been taking out the fuse because of the random honking while driving. This has happened to me more than once almost getting into accidents because if horn issue. I commute 2 hours a day for work sometimes more and do not feel safe using car but have no choice. For so many years no solution to problem by Dodge.

The headrest on our 2010 Dodge Journey popped open as we were driving down I-20. No accident, no bump in the road, no sudden stop... it just sprung open and smacked my husband in the back of the head.

I have already had to replace the starter on this vehicle. The new starter appears to already be going out. When hit a bump the vehicle likes to shut down. I cannot hook my horn up do to the fact it likes to go off on its own. It says on here that this vehicle has four recalls two that have to do with the ignition.

While driving, all electrical goes out or flickers. The car will sometimes lose power on acceleration above 20mph regardless if turning, on highway or neighborhood roads. This has happen a few times since last month and thought it was my battery. I exchanged the battery and the issue wasnt resolved.

Horn. The horn sounds arbitrarily when driving and when not driving. It startles driver and vehicles close to driver -- may cause road rage by others assuming you are honking at them when you are not. The horn has sounded at 2:00 a.M. when no one is near the vehicle or the fob. The horn had to be disconnected to get it to stop. When taken to the shop, Dodge service center in stockton, ca advised they have not heard of the problem; however, when researching this issue on the internet there are many, many Dodge Journey and Ram owners who complain of the same issue. From reading the various accounts of the same problem, there does not appear anyone who has specifically determined the cause of the problem. After having to disconnect the horn fuse, the vehicle is rendered unsafe to the owner, pedestrians, and other drivers. The problem continues intermittently with no common variable.

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.
