Car will not start at times, usually when it's hot outside, and it takes anywhere from 5 minutes to a day before it will start back. battery, keys, and alternator are fine. most of the time if i put it in neutral it will start but other times i am left stranded. i am afraid to drive far from home because if i turn my car off it may not start back . i have been stranded for hours with my kids before in the high heat. this needs fixed asap, been going on for 5 yrs now.ask anyone with a dodge journey and they will tell you they have the same issue.
On several occasions my dodge journey has shut off while driving and while sitting at a traffic light. some instances occurred while turning at a traffic light or driving straight ahead on a local city road. the check engine light, traction equalizer warning and air bag lights all come on just prior to the car shutting off most times. other times there is no warning until my steering wheel and brakes lock up indicated that the car has shut off. i've had the car serviced for the engine amongst other repairs and the problem still persists and the codes clear only temporarily. the car lights dim or flicker and the car shakes sometimes when starting up indicating that the car will not hold power to drive. the battery is good and the mechanic has stated that the issue is electrical.
My 2009 dodge journey has been having a no start issue that has been getting progressively worse over the past 3 years. at first it was just when it was hot outside or the car was hot after driving an hour or more, now it happens at any given time, even first thing in the morning. i can usually get it started after 5-10 tries, but never on the first try. the last time this happened was on monday, june 17, 2019 when i took it back to the dealer for the 5th time this year for this problem.
Car will intermittently start and then won't start. battery is fine. checked neutral safety switch. still nothing. have been stranded several time.
I drove my vehicle to the grocery store with no problems. i shopped, came back out and tried to start it. lights, radio, windows, locks... all worked. when trying to start, you hear a single click each time you try. we tried to jumpstart it; there were no changes. it wouldn't start. i had the dealer tow it. they couldn't figure out what was wrong with it. they ended up getting it to start with no answers for me. they just said they can't figure out whats wrong with it or why it acted the way it did. i did some research. its common in dodge journeys; therefore dodge should adress the issue.
This is just too much. i have had nothing but problems with this vehicle. sometimes it crank and then it won't. i can get in it and drive to work, but by the time i get off it will not do anything. the lights and radio work but the car will not turn over. it's like it will work for awhile but after turning it off it could take hours to start up again if it starts up. and yes i have also tried the putting the car in nuetral, but when it don't turn over you can not change the gears.i don't hear any cranking noise, the truck just lights up. i have had a new starter, battery, and alternator put on. i have had this truck pull home on a tow truck from work and soon as they unhook it it will starts up...i have two young kids and i have had the experience of going to a gas station in the evening after getting off work and after turning off the car it will not crank. the horn just starts honking on its own sometimes,and the theft system alarm light almost never stops blinking. i have spent ...
When using right turn signal dome lights turn on, if cruise contrail is on cannot use brights will shut off cruise by itself, car stalls, and will not always start, when it does start many times will stall right away, and when driving stalls. air bag light on which have read can mean airbag fail to deploy.
2009 dodge journey has issues starting intermittently. seems to be an issue many people post about. if you let the vehicle sit for awhile it will sometimes start back up. inserting key will make it possible to turn on lights, radio, roll down windows, etc, but the vehicle will not start, only click.
Was driving on my way back home with my 4 kids when the car stalled and wouldn't turn over. put key fob in ignition and would make a clicking noise then it just stopped making noise. got car towed and had battery checked and the battery had full charge and only 2 years old.
I own a 2009 dodge journey that i purchased in july of 2018. beginning in august i started experiencing a no crank no start problem. there were 3 times my car wouldn't start while i was at home. my car has been towed approximately 9 times since september including 2 times to the dodge dealership for diagnosis and repair of the problem in october. initially the mechanic diagnosed a dead cell in the battery. i paid approximately $232.00 for a new battery and 2 1/2 weeks later i was stranded again due to my car not starting in november, since then i've had this problem 8 times while attempting to leave my home. all of my major parts are operating correctly and nothing is draining my battery. can chrysler please attempt to identify what is causing this problem? it's unsafe and very inconvenient this unknown issue is expensive to constantly attempt to fix and the problem still occurs.
No start no crank. since taking my car to the dealerships to fix the recalls my car wont even go out of park unless the car is on and running.
Since september 2018 car would not start. had gone to the doctor and parked in the lot, when i came out my car would not start and i was stranded in the parking lot until dark after the clinic had closed. tried starting it multiple times and only got a ʻclickʻ then nothing. had to get towed home. iʻm a 59 y/o female with health issues. battery was new so i had the starter replaced thinking maybe that was the problem. my car still had the same problem. it would randomly start. so once i could get it started, i took it to my mechanic. he could not isolate the problem although it would still randomly start and recommended that i take it to the dealer. i did and the dealer said everything checked out fine but recommended that i have the starter replaced as well as the egr system and he quoted me over $1200. i canʻt afford that. i had already paid to have my battery tested at sears where i bought my diehard and had bought a new starter that my brother installed. instead, i took it back to my mechanic who replaced it with another started ...

For the millenth time since purchasing this car in 2014 it failed to start again!!! i have had ever mechanic under the sun check electrical connections, batteries, starters, alternators, fuses etc. they find nothing wrong but the car continues to simpley not start. i've read a lot of people have the same problem with this car. did anyone ever figure out why and what dodge is doing about it? sometimes it happens when my car is parked angled. sometimes on flat pavement. i got stuck with my newborn daughter shortly after i purchased the car and went back to depaula dealer i purchased it from in albany ny and they apologized and said they checked everything and nothing is wrong with the car. i'm scared to be stuck with my kids somewhere and honestly tired of sending it to the mechanic only to hear they can't find anything wrong. any ideas or directions to give the mechanic would be great. does dodge actually have the answer and just don't want to issue a recall. i don't care if i have to pay to get it fixed. i just want to know what needs to be fixed!!! thank ...
