We have classified the 497 complaints from 2010 Dodge Journey about ELECTRICAL SYSTEM into the following categories.
My wife was driving the car and it shut off while driving. the engine and electric system shut off and she could not use the brakes. she had to coast to a parking lot and then it started up again. we have taken it into a mechanic and there is no information on the computer regarding what happened. he cannot diagnose the problem.
I was driving down the road and all of a sudden the driver airbag light came on, it would then shut off and then ding and turn back on, it did this for several miles before it just stayed on. another incident that has happened several times is that all the dash indicator lights come on while i'm driving, it puts my car in limp mode, i then have to pull over, shut the car off and then restart it for it to be ok again. this is a real safety concern as well, i could crash and get in a serious accident and i typically have my young kids with me. i searched my vin to see if the recalls have been done and from what i can see they have, so i don't know if this is a reoccurring electrical issue or if this is something new.
When u turn key in ignition it doesn't always start you have to keep trying,,,it will go days without starting then start for several days have had to tow unit twice windows come down by themselves when vehicle not running when u go to put it in drive it won't move out of park unless you turn off engine and restart vehicle horn goes off whenever it wants too car doesn't always unlock when you use remote or relock itself
Horn blew intermittently at first when shutting doors, and occasionally for no reason. windows would go down part way when doors were shut. ignition would sometimes just click click when key is turned, wipers would move when not engaged to be on. battery would go complexly dead for no reason and then be ok for a month or two and then do it again. had to disconnect the horn a few years ago as it would not stop going off. has been in to kayer chrysler, dodge service several times and they could not find issue. they just called and said they founsd. short in the main electrical component and it will cost $1100plus for part and up to $200 to install. we have had these issues since we bought it. oh yeh heat and air on passenger side quit working a few winters ago, and the doors fill with water in every rain storm. park on a hill after a rain and doors will drain for hours. we have friends that have bought journeys and say they have no problems really. can't believe there s not a recall for such a mess. oh yes and occasionally it will ...
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 dodge journey. while driving at various speeds or while parked, the horn independently activated. the vehicle was taken to classic chrysler jeep dodge ram of denton located at 4984 s interstate 35, denton, tx 76210, (940) 230-2351, but was not diagnosed nor repaired. the manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure, case number: 150800292. no further assistance was provided. the failure mileage was 63,000.
My 1010 dodge journey horn intermittently honks non-stop. no pattern to the honking. does it when engine is off, on, or when driving. chrysler/dodge dealership had car from 8 am to 5:30 pm. removed steering wheel, rerouted wome wires. envoice said said 'referred to star case s150800292. checked key fobs, one tested good, the other was intermittent at times'. they found no problem. said for he to advise them if it happens again. paid $116.13 for diagnosis, but found no problem as to why horn would honk randomly. drove home, parked car in garage, no honking. next morning went into garage & horn started blasting on & off intermittently. had to pull left & right horn relays (once again) from fuse box. still no answers, still no horn. with road rage the way it is today, i find this to be a major safety issue, that should have been addressed years ago. i've found many frustrated 2010 dodge journey owners on a dodge forum, with same problem, and no answers. paying a lot of money to dodge dealers, with no results or answers.
Car will start and turn off multiple times. while driving down the road car will turn off of keys are moving too much. if you move the keys car will sometimes turn back on, otherwise you have to restart the car.
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.
I noticed a clicking noise around the ignition switch, when the car is idling in park. i took my car in to the local dodge dealer to be looked at. i was told the win module was going out and needed to be replaced. i know there is a recall on this, but my vehicle's vin did not show a recall notice for this particular problem.
The vehicle shut off at intersection and would not turn back on tried to jump start it no noise when turning the key
2010 dodge journey will not start. battery tested good and all connections are good and will start sometimes and will not start sometimes have to cycle through gears and then sometimes will start
Horn starts beeping when parked. this is not happening all the time but occasionally at night when parked in our driveway or garage when we are sleeping and the horn chirping wakes us up. when i check on it it is silent. when parked in parking lot i was told my horn was going off and when i went out to check it was no longer making any noise. this past week while parked in my driveway, it started honking constantly to the point i had to remove the 2 fuses for it to stop.
My vehicle will randomly not start. i turn the key in the ignition and the lights and radio come on, but it only clicks and doesn't start. then i attempt to start it again and it will magically start. this intermittent starting has no rhyme or reason and has left me stranded with my little girl. no mechanic or repair shop can figure out what is wrong.
When u turn key in ignition it doesn't always start you have to keep trying,,, windows come down by themselves when vehicle not running when u go to put it in drive it won't move out of park unless you turn off engine and restart vehicle horn goes off whenever it wants too car doesn't always unlock when you use remote or relock itself all these things happen when not in motion this all happens at different times in the last few months we have paid to get it reprogrammed.
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.
