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.

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.

The contact owns a 2010 Dodge Journey. The contact stated that she had two brand new batteries placed in her vehicle; however, they continued to drain. The contact stated that the usb outlet remained powered on and the cd player would activate while the vehicle was powered off. When the contact attempted to start the vehicle, it failed to start and made an unknown noise. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who jumpstarted the vehicle. Afterwards, the vehicle performed normally. The vehicle was later towed to O'daniel Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (5611 Illinois rd, fort wayne, in 46804, (844) 391-1759) due to the fuel gauge not providing the accurate reading. The technician performed diagnostic testing of the alternator and the battery, but could not find a failure code. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided case number: 59642545. The approximate failure mileage was 149,000.

Uncontrollable constant horn honking while the vehicle is driving, while on or off, also key fob does not start or stop the noise. Been to the dealership non stop since getting the vehicle as well as a few other shops and no one has been able to completely fix the issue it has continued to return. Every trip to the dealer they have told me the vehicle is fine, erase any sensors that appear on the dash, and send me home until the problems continue to happen. Removed the fuse to silence the horn noise but has continued to drain the new battery. Have had no luck with the vehicle and now I cannot drive it because it keeps dying. There is a lot wrong with this vehicle.

While driving the horn started honking on it's own. Stopped for a few hours then started blaring on it's own while car was parked and off for a solid hour. Had to disconnect the battery to get it to stop until I can find the fuses. Remove the fuses for a while and it stops. Replace fuses and it starts doing it again. Battery went dead because of not being able to hear the alarm going off when the door handle was pulled while car was locked.

The horn blows on its own at any time. It does not matter if I am driving or if the car is turned off. It does this at all hours of the day/night. Pushing the car alarm button or panic button does not stop it from blowing. I have my local mechanic check and he states the wiring is fine so the problem must be coming from the steering column area where you push to blow the horn. The only way to make it stop was to remove the two fuses for the horn.

The electrical system will shut completely down while driving the car. The wind shield wipers will come on by itself, you will not be able to turn them off. The cooling and heating system will shut down. During this time, you cannot use your power windows. Every warning will come on. This car is a nightmare.

Ignition module went out in driveway. Would turn the car to off, take the key out, but the car would continue to run. You can drive the car without the key in the ignition. Took it to the dealership, they had to replace the ignition module and replace two of my car keys. Drove the car to the dealership without the key in the ignition.

Car was driven 180 miles, then turned off for 30 minutes, attempted to restart car. Power went to the gauges, but engine did not turn over (no starting noise). Jump starting the battery did not work. Engine turned over after turning the fob key a 7th time. Dealership replaced battery, alternator, and starter. Problem still occurring when vehicle is stationary - it's an apparent random ability to start engine. Mechanic is stumped. Internet comments state that Chrysler-brand cars have apparently been dogged with power module failures for years, which can cause airbag non-deployment, fires, stalling, unintended acceleration, headlamp problems, and damage to other components. In particular, 2007 to 2014 model year cars are said to be affected. A California lawsuit succeeded in obtaining reimbursement for tipm (fuse box) replacements, diagnosis, rental car expenses, and unnecessary repairs done to fix a non-start or stall condition as a result of a vehicle's tipm fuel pump relay failure. Oddly enough, before the non-start problem occurred the vehicle's horn would engage while the car was parked (and not accidentally turned on via wireless fob). Mechanic could not find reason for that, either.
