Consumer Description

THE 2010 DODGE JOURNEY WILL RANDOMLY START HONKING, EVEN WHEN DRIVING OR SITTING IN TRAFFIC. IT MAY BE A LONG HONK OR SEVERAL SHORT BEEPS. AFTER PARKING IT WILL NOT START, THERE IS POWER GOING TO THE VEHICLE, IT JUST WON'T START. HAVE HAD BATTERY CHANGED, STARTER CHECKED AND ALTERNATOR CHECKED...ALL IN GOOD CONDITION. IT SEEMS TO HAVE THE MECHANICS STUMPED AS TO WHAT TO DO IN ORDER TO CORRECT THESE PROBLEMS. IT HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR SOME TIME NOW, AND AFTER RESEARCHING OTHER 2010 DODGE JOURNEY PROBLEMS, IT SEEMS THAT THIS ISSUE WITH HONKING AND NOT STARTING IS A HUGE ISSUE. THERE ARE VIDEOS ALL OVER YOUTUBE AND COMMENTS IN CAR FORUMS TALKING ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEMS AND DODGE MECHANICS HAVE NO CLUE AS TO WHAT TO DO, WHILE THE DODGE COMPANY SIMPLY DOES NOT CARE THAT THESE CARS NOT AS RELIABLE AS THEY SHOULD BE.
