Takata recall I was driving home while at a stop light I smelt a burn odor. I was just a 1/4 of a mile from home so I drove it home. Upon parking I noticed there was a small spot under my car forming. About the size of a quarter. Check all my fluids and and nothing was low. The next day it started and ran ok until it was ran for about 15 then once again the smell and now a low growling. I pulled off the road and parked at a gas station. I had a local shop look at my car and they determined my transfer case is broken. I have been having issues with my car when accelerating it would pull sharply to the right when it shifted gears. Was told there was nothing wrong with my car. It shouldn't try and change lanes when you accelerate. I have almost hit the car next to me just by accelerating. I have also been driving along and have my car turn off. I had to coast to the side of the road, put it in park and start it again. This has happened on four different occasions. The stalling happened on the highway while the transfer case was on city street.
My vehicle odometer would jump from 0 to 30 while in motion(foot on pedal) and vice versa. Wiperblades started all on it's on without being turned on. No current is being brought to whole entire vehicle. Vehicle won't turn over or lock without being hooked to another battery. Can jump start but once connection is off the vehicle shuts back off. All lights flickered on and off on dash board when they never came on the 2 years I had the vehicle.
My horn does not stop honking had to remove left and right fuses to keep from honking. Vehicle honks while stopped nobody in it and while driving as well. Several people have complaint about this same situation online why is there no recall for this problem which is a safety issue?
The heater works great on the driverside and blows cold on the passenger side no matter what you do.autostart doesn't work when it's cold out, thought that was the point of it but guess not.makes a really loud winding noise when I starting it, also goes into gears hard most of the time. Got the hard to find 225/55/19 tires on it and my brakes make a lot of noises. My front end makes a bunch of popping and grinding when turning left or right going forward or backwards, heatsheild is falling off around the driveshaft. Service all wheel drive light comes on often, the park assist stopped working, taillights flickering often, one of my fobs works when it wants to even with a new battery.driver seat is also starting to act up to having to wiggle the switch around to make it work. No one wants to fix the problems with my Journey rt making me regret getting this SUV I was practically forced into buying/trading it and when I went to the place of purchase a few days after getting was promised these issues fixed and I'm still waiting will not put my children in this car going to get rid of this nightmare soon as I get the chance since this so called 4star safety raiting is bs don't feel safe at all

The power in my vehicle went out and my breaks locked up, the car just dies. No hazards or anything. My car stopped while driving down a heavy traffic street. Two cars almost hit my kids and I. the car does come back on a few seconds later or several minutes later. The longest time period was when I got the car towed to a shop Saturday. Once, we arrived at the shop it had come back on. This is not the first time and I fear even after we get it from the shop it will not be the last.

While driving on public highway the engine stalled, steering locked and had to coast to a safe spot. This is the 3rd time this has happened. 1st time March 2016 mileage 94470, 2nd time end of October 2016, current time August 2017. Each time the computer tells the dealership it is the crank sensor which we replace. This is very scary and my daughter is afraid to drive the car. We have been lucky to be able to get off the road so far, but are afraid of it happening again and being in an accident. Wondering if Dodge is going to do something about this since I see many other similar complaints posted.
My Journey doesn't want to start. According to the mechanic it's the module that doesn't read the key. We had our family vacation in baja California and we were stranded there because my 2012 Dodge Journey wouldn't start.
While driving the car suddenly losses power and the stability lights and ABS lights all flash. This occurs while driving on the city street and highway and turning. The shop says they do not know what is causing it. There are lots of customers on the internet with the same type of problems. This does not occur while sitting still only in motion. This has happened numerous times and when we check for codes all it says if engine misfire even though there are stability light and ABS light on.
Am driving Dodge Journey 2012.initially the issue was intermittent but it is permanent now. All four switches are not working. When I press the switch it generates continuous clicking sound.
Tamara recall- my vehicle isn't listed on the recall, however, my airbag light comes on and dings constantly. It is when no one is in the front passenger seat and when there is a passenger in the seat. It seems to happen more often when turning corners or when backing up. Also, my electrical system is messed up as well. Sometimes my charging outlets work and sometimes they don't. this began to occur after my motor was replaced at 17,000 miles by the Dodge dealer because it had a manufacturing defect. There were holes in the metal of the motor and oil was seeping out of it. Now I have had issues with the air conditioner, the radio, all charging ports, the cruise control, and the airbag light coming on randomly. The local Dodge dealer always says everything is fine when I take it in, because they cannot replicate the problem when it is in the shop.
The power adapters in the center console have shorted out the aux port work the usb and other ports and lights do not. Also the sync climate control will un-sync with out being touched in the rear or front of the car.
Alternator is defective ruining both the batter and having to replace the alternator and battery multiple times. This has happened twice already in January 2014 and April 2015. And again now March 2017. On a road trip my wife and kids went on in the middle of the highway the vehicle suddenly lost power and almost control. She was able to pull it to the side of the road. She turned the car off completely then turned it back on and it started. The drove another hour and the battery light came on shortly after the vehicle powered off again. She the called roadside assistance and they brought it home. We had to replace the alternator and battery. The second time this happened I was able to identify the problem as to not get stranded and once again replaced the alternator and battery. The auto parts guy insured me that they had fixed the problem with the new alternators. Clearly not. We just finished out 3rd replacement of both alternator and battery after a long road trip we had to buy a battery in the middle of to get home. This issue needs to be addresse. I spoke with the Dodge dealership originally and they were no help and said they would have just replaced the alternator and battery as well. ## VIN passed ## Dodge Journey 2012 ##
I was driving my SUV and while driving my truck stalled and I could not turn it off for several means. The steering wheel locked up and my push start button would not let me turn it off to restart. After 10 mins it let me restart. I had it towed to a car repair shop and they can not find anything wrong. The first shop told me that my oil was mixing with my coolant and visa versa. I then took it to the main shop to have it looked at and they say it's nothing wrong. I just drop my kids off moms before this happen and I just got off the interstate, the possibility of it cutting off while my kids are in the vehicle is dangerous.
