Recently reported ENGINE problems on 2010 Dodge Journey

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.

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 ...

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.

Intermittent problems with the car starting, lights will flicker and car will make clicking noise after the initial flicker. the car could take anywhere from a few minutes to 1 or 2 hours to start. while driving the car will start to shake and then shut off when slowing down or coming to a stop (red light or stop sign). the car sometimes won't start up or will immediately shut off again while in the middle of a city street. this is a safety hazard because we have toddler and soon to be newborn who will almost always be in the car.

Vehicle randomly will not start. brakes go stiff. all lights radio etc works, car just refuses to start (it is not even attempting to start) after a few hours car will start

I have had intermittent starting problems, i put the fob in , turn the key , the dash lights come on , there is a click , but it will not turn over. i can wait from a few minutes to a couple of days before it works again. there is no set pattern and we have had everything checked. it left us in parking lots at work before while it wont start, causing us to be late picking kids up from school and even at the store. looking online many people are having the same problem. if there is this many out there why is there not something being done about it?

This vehicle has had multiple issues. starter sounds like it's sticking at start of engine this has always been a problem since we got the vehicle. in 2018 i had to replace the battery and the alternator because the car would shut off while driving, at one point with my 5yr old daughter exiting the freeway(a very scary and extremely unsafe experience) replaced water pump and top front hose after i found puddle of fluid from coolant tank. other work done ,replaced cv joints, loud clicking when sharp turns were made and shocks and struts replaced. then all of a sudden the car shuts off while driving as it did before alternator was fixed. now i'm experiencing more electrical issues lights turning on and off on their own, ac will blow air some times and other times no air at all. the traction light comes on and car will not go over 20-30 mph. gas will not rev up. going to get car towed to the mechanic today to diagnose . seems to be a lot of people experiencing similar issues with this vehicle model. something needs to be done, will be calling chrysler and dodge ...

'takata recall' when i put my key in and try to turn over my vehicle it will not start. it appears that the ignition switch is malfunctioning . and i've been stuck on the side of the road with two kids and it's been happening for months and now i'm stuck on the side of the road, because normally it would turn over after a few tries but now it won't turn at all
