Two gentlemen had to push my car out of traffic. My car was completely dead I couldn't put the hazard lights on. I was waiting on a light on a city street. It just stalled while driving last week for a second time. I took it to the dealer and they couldn't find anything wrong with it while under warranty. The first time (2014) it happened I was making a turn on a city street.

NO one can tell me what's wrong but everyone seems eager to take my money.Complaints Recalls TSBs MPG Safety Ratings Owner's Manuals Warranties Price ◂ ▸Ģ013 Dodge Journey Electrical System Consumer Complaints Complaint Number: 11407541 Incident Date: ApDate Added to File: ApDescription of the Complaint: My car stalled on me while driving. My engine is loud and the the check engine light remains on. I have paid $5406.04 in repair costs in the last month and a half. I just asked that they would tell me what's wrong with the vehicle without charging me additional diagnostic fees. Should I go on and keep throwing money into this car? I called Dodge Corporate and they said that because my repairs hadn't been at a Dodge dealership, there's nothing they can do. David Taylor Royal Gate Dodge in Ellisville Missouri charged me $162 to diagnose my check engine light issue and tell me they didn't know what was wrong but for an additional $512 they could open up my engine and tell me how much more money I would need to spend. With my having spent $5244.04 within a span of a month, I decided to take it in to the local Dodge dealership. I had to have my car towed to Beachler's Vehicle Repair in Peoria Illinois. Wrong!! It wouldn't start when I attempted to return home. I had to take a trip 170 miles away the next day and Sellenriek said that my car would be fine on the highway. I came back two days later for them to say they didn't know what was wrong but that my car was safe to drive. I picked up my car to find the check engine light still on!! Sellenriek shut the check engine light off and told me to come back in when it came back on. We are really upset by this experience and disappointed by the low reliability of Dodge. We are not going to pay 10,000 to fix the car and we talked with the Arrigo´s Manager (Dealer) and he said that the best solution would be to take the car as trade for another car… they offered us $1,200… no comments. Why, if the overheating problem is a known issue, they are still selling this model? This model should be withdrawn from the market. This could have happened on the road, thanks God my mother is fine, but the result could have been different.Ĥ.

Why did the engine head gasket break? The dealer said that this engine model used to overheat and broke the head gasket seal, another design issue.ģ. The dashboard never noticed any fault, this is a design security flaw.Ģ. We can draw some conclusions from what happened.ġ. I checked other Dodge Journey reviews online and this car's overheating seems to be a known issue. They don't care about the Corona pandemic and the whole time the car was without use. We talked to Dodge and they didn’t offer us any solution. The warranty for this model is 5 years or 100,000 miles. The car has 60,000 miles and the 5-year warranty ended in May 2020, so we are out of warranty for four months. The dealer sent us a quote for the repair, around $10,000. The engine temperature was normal, the sensors did not send any warnings and that vehicle does not have temperature sensors for hoses or other elements. That mix (refrigerant with oil) was in the refrigerant system as a pressure cooker boiling and suddenly exploded. We used the crane to move the car to the dealer (Arrigo Sawgrass), they said that the problem was in the head gasket engine, for some reason it broke and the oil was mixing with the coolant. I actually believed that I’m buying a 20K car, but it's actually a 46K. ALWAYS buy a new car with someone else beside you. Using psychological manipulation techniques to sell cars. Suggestions: The car dealership we bought it from are all a group of liars, manipulators, cheaters and real thieves. But compared to the reviews for Quest or Odyssey that we are reading here, our Journey is a sweety. Why we want another car? Third row is really small. Goodies: Now 5 years, we are still alive and the car is great. Another thing - I have to rebalance the wheels every 4-5 months. Anyway - this time service Turned OFF those codes. In reality that was a life/death situation. Thank GOD it was during the day and other cars noticed us and stopped. Thank GOD it "persisted", the engine stalled again, same speed, middle of the road where everyone is driving at max. First time, service said it's a coding problem, and I should come back ONLY if this "problem" persists. Except twice the engine stopped on the highway at 90km/h and the steering wheel was blocked.
