2013 Dodge Journey Engine Problems

“My vehicle has a pentastar 3.6l v6 and 117000appx. Miles. It was recently diagnosed with a cracked cylinder head. This has been an issue with these engines but, for some reason, I'm being told it is not covered under service bulletin 09-002-14.”

“Cylinder 2 misfire - engine lock suddenly as valve was not installed properly at time of manufacturing. This is a known defect in this make of Dodge. My car is not included per the dealer and should be. The valve is faulty. Causing burnt valve and warped head. *extremely costly repair that was unavoidable with recommended regular maintenance on my vehicle! Dealer will not repair. Manufacturer has not included my VIN in recall.”

“The engine has started to cut off when I decelerate, such as to make a turn or come to a stop. This is dangerous in mid-traffic, especially when my family is in the car. It has happened a few times and is becoming more frequent, as in the last time this happened was yesterday. I see that there are many other complaints from customers experiencing this with their Dodge journeys and wondering why there isn't a recall for this incredibly dangerous occurrence.”

“I was driving down the road all the sudden my check engine light turned on in my steering locked up. I pulled to a middle lane since it was in a very busy road and shut my car off and tried to turn it back on and it started shaking. Again turn the car off let it sit for a little bit try to turn it on and it started shaking again. Try to third time I was able to drive it home the steering wheel unlocked and drove it home fine but the check engine light was on the whole time.”

“My 2013 Dodge Journey has a random no start. It will just click. The battery, alternator, and starter are all good. I usually have to jump it to get it to start. Sometimes that doesn't even work. It will make the lights start to go haywire. They will flicker or flash on and off. It will say no key detected when I'm literally sitting with my key fob in hand. It is a push button start. I have got the batteries replaced in the key fob as well. This will happen at random. …”
