2014 DODGE JOURNEY Electrical System Problems

My reverse lights, rear wiper and plate light have all Stopped working due to severed wires in the liftgate wiring harness at the hinge area. This is a faulty design by Dodge, a safety concern and an issue that is widespread and reported on the internet.

The contact owns a 2014 Dodge Journey. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the low oil pressure and the check engine warning lights illuminated. In addition, the contact stated that the tires were recently replaced; however, the low tire pressure warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but was unofficially diagnosed with a wiring harness failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was made aware of the failure and suggested that the vehicle be taken to the dealer for a diagnostic test. Additionally, the contact was advised of the diagnostic testing fee. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by the independent mechanic or the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 79,000.

my rear back up camera going bad again I had it replace a few yrs ago and it is doing the same thing again, picture is upside down at times or the image is doing a horizontal rolling making it unusable or going blank and also is distracting when trying to back up and the image catches your eyes while backing up

The ABS module has failed. There was a recall R61 issued previously for this issue of moisture causing ABS module failures. The original recall was completed on this vehicle [XXX]. There is no documentation that the ABS module itself was replaced at that time since this is a tiered recall. The ABS module has now failed and there is evidence on the electrical plug that moisture was present during a recent inspection by an ASE certified mechanic. I took the car to Academy CJD dealership in Tipton, Indiana and they refused to perform the recall again since it supposedly had already been completed. They wanted to charge me a fee to 'diagnose' further. I contend that even though the recall or partial recall was previously completed, the ABS has failed due to the issue the original recall was supposed to prevent. I have a picture of the ABS electrical connector...

When trying to start the car in the past every now in then I would get a one click and no start I tried to shift into neutral and nothing the same , I played with the button by turning g off and back on a few time and it would start and it started to get harder to get it to start and now it will only click and no start , I replaced the battery and starter was checked out and is good all battery ends are new and new battery cables , I know Google is no auto mechanic but the post I have read there is a lot of dodge journeys that has this issue when I called dodge I was told to bring it in and I will be charged , also about every 4th time I hit the door locks from the door as...

Under heavy braking conditions the vehicles ABS system did not engage and the vehicle slid losing control. There was a safety recall R61 which was documented as completed 20 May 2016, but inspection of the ABS ground wire shows it in its original position when compared to page 18 of the recall instruction. There has been no work on the ABS module since the recall.

Suddenly brown smoke came out when I started a car and tried to roll down the window. My husband pulled out the controller which seems to be the cause of the smoke from the wire.

Vehicle just won’t start sometimes. Changed battery , alternator, starter, ETC system. And nothing has helped. No rhyme or reason some days it starts perfectly fine multiple times .. other days I’ll go out and it just won’t start. I can go to my destination turn it off and it won’t turn back on.

The contact owns a 2014 Dodge Journey. The contact stated while at a complete stop at a traffic light, the vehicle shut off. The vehicle failed to restart and was towed to the residence. The vehicle was then towed to an independent mechanic, where the battery and the alternator were replaced; however, the failure recurred. The contact stated while driving 35 MPH, the check engine warning light, the traction control warning light, the ABS warning light, and other unknown warning lights illuminated. The vehicle then shut off temporarily. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 150,000.

THE HEADREST DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON. IT HURT MY NECK REALLY BAD. LUCKILY I WAS AT A RED LIGHT OR IM MIGHT HAVE CRASHED

Tipm caused several issues, blown motor, and now is in the dealership shop for an alternator, battery, ground strap and other wiring issues. I haven’t had my car for over a year due to this.

The contact’s son owns a 2014 Dodge Journey. The contact stated that on several occasions while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled. The contact then stated that on numerous occasions after the vehicle stalled, the vehicle needed to be jumpstarted each time after turning off the vehicle. Additionally, the contact stated that he was unable to turn off the headlamps and the key fob failed to operate as needed. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that water prevented the fuel from entering the fuel pump and the fuel injector and an unknown engine component needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that all the recalls were previously performed, and no further assistance was provided....

Due to opening and closing the rear hatch, the wiring harness wires running from the car through the hatch break and fray causing many issues. One being the potential for exposed wires to spark and cause a fire. Others being faulty rear windshield wiper and faulty rear lighting. Brake lights, turn signals, running lights and rear interior lights causing a road hazard.

My car is showing signs of electrical malfunctioning. My Journey stopped at a traffic light and would not turn back on. It was like the battery had died. When I gave it a jump, the lights would come on but not start. Once the cables were taken off the car would die again. Randomly after letting it rest, the car started and I took it to the shop to get the alternator checked. They kept it for about two days and I was told that the alternator was good. The car also never cut off while they had it. A few days later, While driving the car kept glitching on and off. The screen in the car (radio) would go completely blank. When it came back on it was reset to a default time and radio station. A few days later The Journey would drive fine but only for a...

unknown ,check engine light came on the screen blacked out and began to stall out on freeway doing 55 . was afraid of getting rearended.

I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN 2020 THROUGH JD BYRIDER OF JANESVILLE WI, I AM MAKING PAYMENTS CURRENTLY. IN FEBRUARY OF 2022 MY BATTERY LIGHT KEPT COMING ON AND THE RADIO WOULDN'T WORK. I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND DUE TO HAVING A 30,000 MILE WARRANTY I TOOK IT IN, AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS MY BATTERY SO AS FAR AS I WAS TOLD THEY REPLACED WITH A NEW ONE. IT WAS FINE WITH NO ISSUES UP UNTIL A MONTH AGO, MY BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON, I NOTICE THE WIPERS AND THE WINDOWS WORK REALLY SLOW DURING THIS TIME. ONCE I DRIVE FOR A LITTLE BIT IT EVENTUALLY GOES OFF. TODAY WHEN I WENT TO HEAD TO WORK IT WILL NOT READ MY KEY FOB. I HAD TO TOUCH THE TOP OF MY FOB AT THE OPPOSITE END OF THE UNLOCK AND LOCK BUTTONS TO THE START BUTTON TO START MY...

While I was driving the car suddenly lost power steering and acceleration, the bolts broke off from the pulley and the serpentine belt came off while driving down a busy street

The brake and steering failed while I was attempting to slow down to turn right. The car failed to stop and the car failed to turn so I jumped a curb and caused extensive damage to bottom of car.

I had the Cruise Control recall done on my vehicle in 2018, but it never really fixed the issue. I wasn't aware there was only a 2 year warranty on the work done, and that would have put it in 202 when everything was pretty much closed down. I contacted Dodge and they said there was nothing they could do about it. I know another recall was R61 / NHTSA 15V-675 ABS Ground Wiring issue which got "fixed." Now, I am having an ABS, Skid Control, Brake light issue. I took my car to the shop and they are charging me $180 just to find out the issue. I received a call from the mechanic and he proceeded to tell me the parts needed are on backorder and may be available in March 2022, which will cost close to $2k to repair. I was also advised by the mechanic this...

Unknown car just stopped working and turned off

MY CRUISE CONTROL QUIT WORKING AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND IT WOULDN'T TURN OFF. THE DOORS STARTED LOCKING AND UNLOCKING BY THEMSELVES. I WENT TO CHURCH AND STOPPED AT FOOD CITY AFTERWARDS. I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND PUT IT IN REVERSE AND I CAN SMELL SOMETHING WEIRD AND IT WAS LIKE THE BRAKE WAS STUCK AND IT WAS HOLDING BACK. I PROCEEDED BECAUSE I WAS IN TRAFFIC AND NEEDED TO MOVE. ACCELERATION WAS LIMITED BUT I MADE IT HOME WHICH WAS LESS THAN A MILE. WHEN STOPPED THERE WAS SMOKE ROLLING OUT FROM UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AREA AND THERE WAS FLUIDS RUNNING ALL OVER THE GROUND. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE I HAD MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. THERE IS A SCRUBBING AND PECKING NOISE BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S COMING FROM THE REAR END. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS...

ON APPROXIMATELY 6-8 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS IN THE LAST 3 YEARS, MY 2014 DODGE JOURNEY HAS SHUT ITSELF OFF WHILE I'VE BEEN DRIVING IT. THE FIRST 3 TIMES I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT & AFTER THE 3RD TIME, THE DEALER REPLACED THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR BUT IT CONTINUED TO HAPPEN. THERE SEEMED TO BE NOTHING TO NOTE WHEN IT WOULD HAPPEN, UNTIL RECENTLY, IT SHUT OFF ON 2 OCCASIONS WHEN I WENT OVER A BUMP & GOING IN A FORWARD MOTION IN BOTH CASES. THE FIRST TIME I WAS GOING 55MPH, THE 2ND 25MPH SO NOT SURE THE SPEED HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT. BROUGHT IT BACK TO DEALER & THEY DID AN ENGINE CONTROL MODULE UPDATE. THIS WAS ONE WEEK AGO AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY. I WAS AGAIN IN A FORWARD MOTION, ACTUALLY JUST STARTED ACCELERATING FROM A RED LIGHT, SO WAS PROBABLY NOT GOING MORE THAN 35-40MPH WHEN...

DASHBOARD LIGHTS, CABIN LIGHTS AND RADIO CONSTANTLY GOING OFF AND ON WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS WHILE HIGHWAY DRIVING AND ON THE STREET.

ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO, THE ABS AND CHECK LIGHT CAME ON, I RESEARCHED RECALLS AND TOOK CAR TO SCHLOSSMANN'S DODGE CITY. I WAS ADVISED THAT DUE TO WEATHER AND WATER LEAKING INTO WIRE HARNESS THAT IT WAS CORRODED. IN WHICH THIS IS THE BASIS OF THE R61 RECALL. HOWEVER, SINCE MY ISSUE IS WITH LEFT WHEEL SENSOR AND NOT THE FRONT RIGHT, IT IS NOT COVERED. I AM WONDERING WHAT THE DIFFERENCE IS - IF THE RESULT AND CAUSE IS THE SAME - WHY WOULD IT NOT BE COVERED? I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL NO LONGER WORKS - IS THIS RELATED?
