I bought this used from Rainbow Motor Sales. Ever since I have had trouble with the heating system. I have replaced the heater core. I have had this flushed also. Last winter only the driver side had heat. So far this fall it will blow nothing but cold air.

Follow-up with the article in regards to a possible electrical problems in older Dodge Journey after a woman was trapped and died when her SUV caught fire in December. Issues reported warning lights started flashing, windshield wipers came on, the horn started honking, windows wouldn't go down and the doors wouldn't unlock. Those are of the TIPM that have been reported for years and nothing has been done. I have personal experienced everything that others witnessed with 2009 except for I have not had a fire yet, I have been stuck in my vehicle for times due to window won't go down and doors will not unlock. Horn, lights, wipers, continue to go off I have to pull fuses out all the time just so not to disturb the neighbors as it happens at all hours not just when driving it. It caused a brand new battery to swell up that was caught by a mechanic, the TIPM has been changed 2 times now and still have issues along with the battery was replaced 3 times so far and maybe this is why I have not had a fire because I continue to get a new one. This has been happening for

WE PURCHASED OUR 2010 DODGE JOURNEY FROM AN AUCTION. RIGHT AWAY THERE WERE ALL SORTS OF ELECTRONIC ISSUES WITH VARIOUS BELLS & WHISTLES. MOST OF THESE WERE SOLVED ONCE WE PURCHASED A NEW FOB & HAD IT PROGRAMMED. HOWEVER, MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE HORN WILL BLOW WITHOUT TOUCHING THE STEERING WHEEL. IT WILL BLOW WHILE THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING AND WHEN THE VEHICLE IS OFF, DOES NOT MATTER. MY HUSBAND HAD TO DISCONNECT THE HORN UNDER THE HOOD IN ORDER TO GET IT TO STOP. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO AN INDEPENDENT SERVICE CENTER AND THE MECHANIC COULD NOT FIND WHY THE HORN WILL NOT STOP BLOWING. I DISCUSSED THIS ISSUE WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INDICATED THE VEHICLE NEEDS AN UPDATE, HOWEVER, AFTER MUCH RESEARCHING ON THE WEB MANY MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE UPDATE COMPLETED AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THE HORN ISSUES STARTED AGAIN 2 WEEKS LATER, MANY MUCH SOONER. OUR VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INSPECTED BY ANYONE ELSE. ALSO, THERE ARE NO WARNING LAMPS IN REGARDS TO THE HORN THAT HAVE COME ON. WE ARE LOOKING INTO HAVING A SEPARATE HORN INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE, DUE TO THE SAFETY ISSUE. DODGE NEEDS TO HAVE A RECALL IN REGARDS TO THIS HORN ISSUE THAT COULD COST SOMEONE THEIR LIFE, IT'S QUITE UNBELIEVABLE THEY HAVE NOT DONE SO. (SEE BELOW- "Approximate date this incident occurred", OUR ISSUE IS ONGOING, WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE ON 08-14-2021.)

Drove to the park, parked the car. Went for a walk, came back 20 minutes later, car would not start. Turn the key, no sound, all dash light come one, car will not crank, no sound at all. towed the car to my house, and charged battery for a full day. Car same issue, will not crank, no noise. I turn the key to on, press on the brake and move to neutral, and car still no start. I use the remote starter, and car just clicks a few times and does not start. Basically turning the key to start, lights come on as usual, then no noise no crank no start. this is third day of trying to start this car, never had issues with it for over a year, and never with starting car. No warnings at all, no lights on to show anything bad before this, and no warning after it happened, scanner show no faulty codes detected. From the park waited to be towed and got home after 10 PM, safety, it got dark, it rained and unreliable to just not start.

My horn started chriping for no reason while parked and while driving. I took the batteries out of both key fobs and was still going off. Tried locking and unlocking both with and without the fob. I had to remove the horn fuse to get it to stop. I have seen many of these vehicles with the same issue.

I'm driving during rush hour and my horn goes off spurratdicaly. And this wasn't the first, second, or even third time. People looking at me as if to say, what" why are you honking at us" the horn doesn't have a pattern. Sometime it sounds like morse code and sometimes it lasts for up to 15 seconds like I'm holding it down. It also happens while sitting in my driveway for 24 hours and it goes off during the day and even late at night. I don't have anything to upload except my testamony. Please help!

Last evening while sitting in house the horn starts going off. Then we realized it was our car. Husband went out and saw that it was our grabbed key fob and finally pushed the panic button several times and it stopped. Then today mid-morning it started honking again. After researching it we've figured it wasn't only us and seems to be an issue. Both times it was parked in our driveway with no one around it cause we have several cameras and looked and saw no one around

Was driving at approximately 30 miles an hour on a turning road onto a highway and vehicle shut off. Lost all power steering and brakes were hard. Had to immediately get over to the side of the road to avoid traffic coming from the rear as I lost lights as well and may not have been seen as it was dark and the vehicle is black. When pulled over I put the vehicle in park and attempted to restart. After the 2nd time turning the key it started. No check engine lights are present on the car other than a TPMS sensor.

- Marion, IN, USA

The starter was replaced. It will start several times. Then I try to start it and it just clicks over & over. I have to keep turning the key fob sometimes 20 times before it cranks on. It's when car is off & parked and I go to start it.

- Melbourne, FL, USA

My car randomly shuts off when I go from reverse to drive. I can be pulling out of my driveway or a parking spot at a store and would have to turn key to off and restart car and wait a few minutes before I put it in drive. Plus the horn goes off occasionally.

- Niles, MI, USA

The horn begins to sound on its own and at short and/or long burts and a combination of both while driving or parked all hours of the day. There is no way to stop this. This can cause severe accidents!
