TOOK MY DODGE JOURNEY 2009 SXT- AWD ON 09/16/2011 TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THE ENGINE WOULD NOT CRANK, THEY MADE THE REPAIRS. AT CHECK-OUT I WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE NEEDED 4 NEW TIRES. AT THE TIME THE VEHICLE HAD 31,328 MILES. *TR

WHEN I TURN A CORNER OR HIT A BUMP OR JUST DRIVING DOWN THE STREET, THE IGNITION WILL TURN OFF AND THE CAR WON'T RUN. ONCE I HAVE IT STOPPED AND PUT IN PARK I CAN RESTART THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, LATELY WHEN I TURN THE KEY TO START THE CAR, THE KEY WILL SWITCH BACK TO THE OFF POSITION. I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE MORE THAN ONCE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE PROFUSELY WHEN DRIVING 50-60 MPH. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A MISFIRE IN CYLINDER FIVE AND REPAIRED THE FAILURE BY CLEARING OUT THE CARBON CORROSION, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS TO THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 32,600. KMJ

MY COMPLAINT CONSISTS OF THE TIRES, STARTER, AND PRESSURE SENSORS ON MY 2009 DODGE JOURNEY. FIRST, THE CHEAPEST TIRES MY DEALER CAN FIND FOR MY VEHICLE ARE PRICED AT $225/TIRE. THUS, A $1000.00 COST FOR TIRE REPLACEMENT. THIS WOULD BE REASONABLE IF THE VEHICLE WAS A LUXURY VEHICLE I.E.: AUDI, BMW, CADILLAC, MERCEDES, ETC... HOWEVER, IT IS A DODGE. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY DODGE'S TIRES EVERY WINTER SINCE PURCHASE. THEREFORE, THESE PERFORMANCE TIRES ARE ONLY LASTING APPROXIMATELY 20,000/MILES A PIECE. AFFORDABLE, IS WHY I PURCHASED DODGE. I AM NOT RECEIVING THIS, NOT EVEN IN THE BASIC MAINTENANCE OF TIRES. NEXT, MY STARTER HAD TO BE REPLACED RECENTLY. I WAS TOLD THAT MANY DODGE JOURNEY STARTERS ARE "GOING." HOWEVER, WITH NO RECALL ON THE PART, I ENDED UP PAYING A $100.00 TOWARDS A DEDUCTIBLE THAT IS PART OF MY WARRANTY. FINALLY, I HAD TO REPLACE TWO TIRE SENSORS AS...

HAVE HAD ONGOING ISSUES WITH 2009 DODGE JOURNEY. VEHICLE LOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING, THIS HAS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 10 TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR. THE TIRES SOLD ON THE VEHICLE (225-55-R19) ARE NOT REPLACEABLE. I GOT A FLAT AND WAS TOLD TO RIDE ON THE DONUT UNTIL THEY COULD LOCATE A NEW TIRE, 12 DAYS LATER STILL NO TIRE, I DEMANDED THE DEALER SELL ME A TIRE OFF OF A CAR IN THE LOT, THEY FINALLY AGREED. HOWEVER, I WAS CALLED AFTER I LEFT THE CAR AND TOLD THAT BECAUSE IT IS AWD ALL 4 TIRES MUST BE REPLACED OR IT WILL DAMAGE MY TRANSMISSION AND THAT POSSIBLY, I ALREADY HAVE DAMAGED DUE TO DRIVING ON DONUT. HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO BUY 4 NEW TIRES, WHILE AT DEALER HAVING 4 NEW , LARGER TIRES (235 55 R19) PUT ON THE DEALER BROKE VALVE SENSOR ON 2ND TIRE, 1ST TIME THEY...

HAVE HAD A 2009 JOURNEY SINCE AUGUST 2008. AT ABOUT THE ONE-YEAR MARK, THE VEHICLE BEGAN AN ODD NOISE WHEN TURNING HARD LEFT. THE DEALER REPLACED A PS RESERVOIR, BUT THE NOISE IS STILL OFTEN EVIDENT. *TR
