Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The #6 spark plug has a problem. I have had it replaced twice. The engine light goes on and off when the car runs a little hard. Then will turn off when it runs smooth. When I had the oil changed they said they have seen other Dodge journeys with the same problem. My vehicle is just being driven in on the city streets. It happens when I am sitting at a light and the car is idling.”
NHTSA complaint #11065211, filed 2018-01, 55,000 miles“I have owned my Dodge Journey since may 2013, and after two years I began to have problems. The vehicle does not pick up and go. At times when the vehicle is in idling mode (like if I am sitting at a traffic light) it acts as if it wants to stop. On other occasions the vehicle acts as if it wants to stop, even if I am in drive or just sitting in park. I recently had a tune and the battery replaced. I am still having the same problem! …”
NHTSA complaint #11110680, filed 2018-07, 79,157 miles“Without warning one day the car started smoking then caught on fire right while I was driving on the hwy. I quickly jumped out on the hwy almost into traffic trying to get away from the SUV thet within seconds quickly engulfed into flames. I could have been killed. The dealership made no mention about the defects or repairs. I would like to file a complain/lawsuit to seek a full refund along with damages, pain and suffering.”
NHTSA complaint #10760214, filed 2015-08, 80,000 miles“My Journey keeps stalling on me especially when stopped (red lights,stop signs, in traffic etc.) at one point it even stalled out on me while driving and I couldn't move the steering wheel, brakes, nothing! It completely locked up. I was lucky that that time I was in my neighborhood otherwise I would have gotten in a car accident. At first the fuel cap light kept coming on, Dodge dealer told us to just have the cap replaced (we did) but the light keeps coming on and off still and not resolving any problems. …”
NHTSA complaint #11257982, filed 2019-09, 128,000 miles“It will stall when idling. Two separate occasions I could have been seriously injured. When turning left into an intersection it would not give any gas and the person coming thru the light had to slam on the brakes to keep from broadsiding my vehicle. Second time it happened while driving, I had pulled out of a driveway and it would not give me any gas. I have taken it to a few dealers and they don't know what it is. I finally took it back to the place where I purchased it and they changed the fuel throttle body. That was 8/21/2017. As of 9/21/17 it stalled on me again while in idle. …”
