I first bought the dodge journey in march 2015 used from a dealership. 2 months later i start seeing problems: -when i lock the vehicle, occasionally after sitting for a long time i will come out and the windows will all be down and the vehicle unlocked -i have had many occasions where i try to start the vehicle and it just clicks. i have to move the shifter from park to neutral (sometimes several times for several minutes) to get the vehicle to start. i do not want to get stranded with this vehicle!! -passenger window will sometimes not roll down using the passenger side window button but operates normally using driver side controls there seems to be many electrical problems with this vehicle and i fear that we will end up in a crash related to electrical failure.

Since purchase horn beeps intermittently when doors are opened and shut. dealer could never find issue. windows would not go up in front but corrected self. now battery dies and no dealer can find the reason. put in brand new battery and lasted a week until doing it again. dash lights dim to almost dark when wipers are turned on. sometimes dash lights stay on when door closed and must stay until delay to be sure they are all off . very annoying. there are many aspects that we liked with the journey but this is a real problem. *tr

In march 2015 the vehicle showed signs of ignition locking and not being able to be started with key. this did not happen every time, but enough to be annoying. aaa was called to tow the vehicle to our reputable mechanic each time it occurred. mechanic could find nothing wrong as this problem did not show while in his premises. the problem continued. in june i received recall notice 'r03" and on 6/16/15 put in an 'order' with chapman auto group in horsham, pa. when they inspected the vehicle it did not show signs of ignition lock up either. by the beginning of july, i was told by chapman that they had no idea when this part on the recall would be in stock. i proceeded to call two other dealerships in the area and received the same story from them. i also called chrysler customer svc as well as sent an e-mail to customerassistre@chrysler and so far everyone has said that the auto maker has no idea when and who will be making this wireless ignition node module to satisfy the recall. my car is defective and i need it repaired immediately. we have also used up most of our aaa calls due to this problem and our policy does not renew until march 2016.

While driving into work this morning my horn began to go off on its on and randomly. nothing i did would stop the horn from going off. i called both my dealer and chrysler directly neither said they have heard of any issues regarding this. some of the warning lights on my dash also came up and then went off. this seems to be a safety issue and i am concerned. *tr

Engine stalled while driving causing loss of power steering & power brakes. diagnosis revealed that engine would stall if key was moved slightly. could have caused a serious accident. superstition springs chrysler replaced the win module at a cost of $492.46. how many people have to die or be injured before the manufacturer accepts responsibility, initiates a recall and takes care of the problem at no cost to the vehicle owner?? i believe that chrysler corp should reimburse me for the cost of this repair. *tr

I was at a traffic light when all of a sudden the horn started to go off on its own without anyone touching it. as it started it stopped. approximately 2 1/2 weeks later the vehicle was inside my garage and at about 2:00 a.m. the horn started to go off again. i had to disconnect the fuses in order ot have it stop sounding. i took the vehicle to the chrysler dodge dealer, they claimed that they did not know what was happening with the horn. that they did not have any recalls on this matter and never heard of this problem with this vehicles. i looked on the internet and have found that other consumers who have purchased this vehicle have had the same problem. why has chrysler dodge refused to help its clients? *tr

About 3 months ago my horn started just randomly honking. it didn't matter if it was parked or running. seems to happen more while parked and in the middle of the night. now the locks don't want to unlock when i press button on remote or car just unlocks itself. i can go outside holding keys in hand without pressing anything car will unlock or lock. several incidents so far of windows just randomly rolling down. the honking thing scares me the most especially while in traffic jams when people have road rage! i've gotten plenty of middle fingers because of this possessed car. i've also had the car just shut off at a stop light. it did how ever start immediately. thanks dodge for taking my money, disregarding my families safety and giving me a pos!
