This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The vehicle started slowing down and making noises, not shifting, delayed engagement, and before everything happened it didn't show any sign of problem on the board (no check engine) and the car was in motion, on a city street.
Takata recall. I was driving my car and I noticed it smoking I look and the back window was on fire smoking and my wiring to door is fried and window switch is fried. Updated 12/06/18
Everytime it rains the car floods on either the passenger side or driver side. This is caused electrical malfunctions and lights to flicker. May lead to early corrosion and frame instability.

Car suddenly turned off while in motion causing wheel and rim damage as well as back number damage. Replaced battery after check engine light came on at which time the vehicle operated fine the previous day and had been sitting overnight(diagnosed by auto zone), replaced on 6-Jul-18. Today 18-Jul-18 absolutely no lights or power to the vehicle. I have tried jumps and car is still inoperable. It gets so hot in here that the interior surfaces are melting and chipping off.
I will be driving and the car will shut off with out warning. When I turn the car off sometimes it will start back up. Don't feel safe driving this car with out 2 year old son. It has happened multiple times
I have a 2015 Dodge Journey that has had major problems with it. Before the car was even a year old it was taking into the shop for transmission problems. The car completely shut off on me while driving in the middle of a busy intersection while I was turning left. The car would not restart and had to be towed to the dealership. At that point, the service was escalated to a higher department and a high level repair person was brought in. Less than 15,000 miles later, the car began heavily shaking every time it was driven. The find was that there was a missing bolt in the tie rod. The service man said there was no reasonable excuse that could explain how this would even occur. Today, the car is in the shop for the second time in three days. Initially for the batter light coming on while driving. I was told there was a loose wire and some corrosion on the batter but that it was repaired. Less than 24 hours later then light came on again while driving this time with the warning on the panel that read battery saving mode. I immediately returned the car to the shop. Waited all day yesterday only to be given the same explanation that was previously given. Upon further probing I discover the car had never even been re inspected. The car continues to be in the shop has has been undrivable for 4 days now. I have a 6 year old sone who is transported in the vehicle daily. I'm beginning to fear for his safety in the car given its history and will no longer place him in harms way by driving in this car. The unbelievable serious problems that have occurred with this vehicle are alarming. Especially, given the fact that there is no clear explanation as to why the issues are arising. These are not normal wear and tear complications. These are serious manufacturing issues.
Driver side continues to blow hot air while the passenger blows cool air while the A/C is running. Told it was the blend door motor and got it fixed. A few days later, the some problem began again.
The vehicle will lose power while driving down the road and simultaneously the traction control light activates followed by the car launching forward and the service AWD and ABS lights activating. The vehicle was taken to a Chrysler garage which duplicated the problem and saw the faults in the computer. However the garage was unable to formulate a solution. They stated they checked all the connections and ran the vehicle approximately 160 miles without any additional occurrences and released the vehicle without any further repair. 4 days later and approximately 150 miles the problem recurred in a parking lot while backing up with the lights activating in the same sequence.
The contact owns a 2015 Dodge Journey. While driving 50 mph, the contact's vehicle was involved in a front end collision. The air bags deployed. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a salvage yard, but it was not determined if it was destroyed. The manufacturer and dealer were not notified. There was one injury that required medical attention. The contact suffered from severe bruising to the chest and neck areas due to the air bag deployment. The contact was also in severe pain. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000.
Tengo problemas con el mdulo de control del sistema antibloqueo de frenos (ABS) ya que el dealer me ha dado garantia varias veces pero necesito saber si hay algun recall por que no me han avisado Y ya la ha daado varias veces.
While driving my vehicle, it shuts down on me, steering wheel locks and it stops accelerating. It is very dangerous, as it just stops on me. It has left me in the middle of the city street, and its been a few times now. The check engine light is on, although, in two occasions, when the car started back up, the check engine light goes away. It's nerve wrecking and scary to know that it will shut down on me just like that, while in motion. I drive on the highway, I just hope, next time, it doesn't shut down on me in the highway. I have made a service car to the car dealership where I purchased it and will be taking it in to get seen in a couple of days.
Heater core...there is multiple complaints on the heater core going out. Costing people atot of money. My car is just 3 years old heat should still work.
An unknown issue is completely draining the battery. Thus, rendering the truck inoperable. The auto door locks would not work and the vehicle would not start. The first occurrence took place roughly two months ago. The service department at darcars temple hills, md, tried to convince me that I left my truck running. This time, same exact issue took place.
While driving on busy intersection vehicle just shut off on its own. Steering wheel locked therefore I had no control. Almost crashed into another vehicle and median. Had to wait for it to come to a complete stop on the middle of intersection to be able to restart it.
