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.
Shortly after beginning to drive the car, the traction control light comes on, the steering tightens up and the brakes freeze up. this happens on completely dry roads. this happened 2 times within 1 mile of each time. the first time i almost went through an intersection because i couldn't get stopped, and the second time i almost rear ended a car. i had both of my children who are 7 and 10 in the vehicle. this is not the first time this issue has happened. it happened 6 months ago, and my mechanic said the code was a faulty tpm which was replaced. it then happened a month ago, and the most recent time which was last week. i've been researching this issue and it seems that the dodge journey has had this issue, among others. it seems as if this vehicle needs a complete recall. somebody is going to end up seriously injured or dead. i still owe $10k on my vehicle and cannot afford to buy another and pay this loan. i need to get rid of this vehicle and dodge needs to take responsibility.
Driving along and cut off. no breaks and no steering with my children in the vehicle on the interstate. this issue happened on more than two occasions.

The rear arms on the tire wheels bent in causing the tires to go completely wore down on the insides. it was hard to see because the middle and outside were fine. it cost $457.00 to repair the garage said this was common. i have therepair records i don't know hoe to send online . if the tires had blown it could have been really bad as i drive 80 miles round trip a day to work. have'nt fixed brakes yet but the rotors are shaking when i hit the brakes
My car is at 71000 miles it will not switch into gears meaning i have to pull over turn car off and back on in hope that it will switch gears. many times that doesn't work. my brake caliber has been replaced and it still is messed up again. yesterday i was riding down road and car just powered off on me for no reason. i could not start it back up after hour it restarted.we checked engine fluid etc everything was good. i waited until end of my shift went and got car to take home. as i began traveling home a power lighting bolt came on in my dash. car shut off again would not start unfortunately i was unable to bare off the road because everything locked up in car. i wish i never purchased this car.

I have had the rotors, pads, calipers, and master cylinder replaced several times in the past 7 years, more than any other vehicle i have owned in my 45 year lifetime. i have had all of my car's repairs done through sears so the brakes are warrantied. i had the master cylinder replaced in dec. 2016 and now having to turn around and having to replace them again.
We purchased our 2010 dodge journey sxt brand new in october 2010 for 30k (a rip of for sure) - being young, naive and our first brand new vehicle purchase. within 3000 miles, we had to have all of the rotors resurfaced. the brakes have been replaced twice. a full set of tires twice. the car shut off while running three times, almost resulting in horrible accidents (this was due to the ignition issue that *eventually* recalled). the alarm would go off randomly and often without reason. the dealer of course, was unable to replicate the error. so we were left with no other recourse than the remove the fuse, which is totally unsafe but was the only option we had. now, within the past 8 months or so, the battery has been going dead after being left without running for at least two days. the battery has been completely replaced with a brand new battery twice, and a full diagnostic scan was ran on december 22nd when the latest new battery was installed. they found absolutely nothing wrong as to why the battery was draining. now, today, its dead again ...

The braking system has been a serious problem from the first month of my purchase.car was purchased in 2011, rotors & pads front replaced. every year i replace rotors, pads calipers, even the master cylander. recently an entire team of machanics worked several hours on the car, all were frustrated that they could not correct the brake problems. said they have never seen anything like this before in their experience. cost me $1000.00! another problem showing up is the car just shuts off while driving. this , after the key was recalled and replaced. this has just happened twice.
Dodge journey brake system is undersized for vehicle size and weight. brake pads and rotors are needing full changeout after approx 25k miles. vehicle has less than 60k miles on odometer, and brake system again must be repaired prematurely. i believe this is the reason dodge increased the rotor size on 2011 models.
I have replaced brake pads and rotors numerous times. i have had to have the entire breaking system repaired several times. have spent a lot of money on repairs. brakes should not have to be replaced this often.
In june 2016 i took my car to bettehausen dodge in tinley park, il. they did some repairs and since then the horn goes off by itself. the car can be parked with the motor off or you could be driving in traffic and the horn will blow. i took the car back to bettenhausen in august 2016 they did another computer update and the horn is still going off by itself. the horn was find until i took it to bettenhausen in june. once they finished working on it they horn blows sporadically. again in august 2016 i had my car towed to bettenhausen because the car broke down. upon bettenhausen reviewing my car they stated it was the heater hose, a gasket and the anti freeze bottle had a hole in it. it cost me $582.00 for that repair. the service department also informed me that i needed front and rear motor mounts broken, front and rear struts blown out, front and rear brake pads and rotors warped and worn, right rear wheeling bearing excessive noise. these are major repairs and will cost major money. why didn't bettenhausen inspect my car thoroughly in june when it ...
