HORN HONKS RANDOMLY BY ITSELF. PARKED, MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, OR DRIVING THIS IS DANGEROUS DISTRACTING FOR ME AND OTHER DRIVERS. SCARY STARTLES ME AND FREAKS MY NEIGHBORS OUT! DRAINING MY BATTERY TOO. ALSO A CLICKING SOUND WHEN NOTHING ON. I GOOGLED IT AND WAS SHOCKED TO FIND HUNDREDS OF OTHERS COMPLAINTS. I CALLED CRYSLER THEY SAID TO MAKE A COMPLAINT HERE AND IF ENOUGH COMPLAINTS A RECALL WILL BE ISSUED. I SURE HOPE NO ONE GETS HURT OR DIES WAITING FOR THE MANUFACTURER TO CORRECT THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THEY CLEARLY KNOW ABOUT BUT WILL NOT ADDRESS UNLESS THEY ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO. WHAT A SHAME CONSUMERS PAY GOOD MONEY FOR SUCH POOR SERVICE. I KNEW I SHOULD HAVE STAYED WITH A GMC!

THE POWER STEERING RETURN HOSE AT THE RACK POSITION BROKE IN BELOW FREEZING CONDITIONS WHEN I FIRST STARTED IT A FEW WEEKS AGO. THE HOSE IS BROKE AND IT'S LEAKING POWER STEERING FLUID AND IT'S HARD TIME STEER THE VEHICLE AT TIMES. OTHER 09 DODHE JOURNEYS HAVE BEEN RECALLED, BUT MINE, SXT AWD WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ACCORDING TO THE VIN NUMBER. I FEEL IT SHOULD BE AND THE HOSE IS STILL CURRENTLY BROKEN. I AM ON A FIXED INCOME AND THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY CHRYSLER INSTEAD OF OUT OF MY POCKET. IT IS HIGHER MILEAGE AND THE MOTOR IS NOT THE ORIGINAL BUT THAT SHOULD NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO ME. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT.

Mileage: 203,000

POWER STEERING RETURN LINE RUPTURED ON A -20F MORNING. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND I LOST POWER STEERING. I DIDN'T NOTICE UNTIL I WENT TO TAKE A CORNER. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE THE CORNER BUT CAME CLOSE TO HITTING A SNOW BANK. THE SPEED WAS LOW SO I HAD TIME TO REACT. AFTER THAT I BROUGHT IT TO MY LOCAL DODGE DEALER AND IT WAS REPAIRED. THE TOTAL BILL WAS 383.17. IT'S FUNNY THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR AND MODEL YET MINE ISN'T RECALLED. THE RECALL EXPLAINS WHAT HAPPENS AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPEND TO MY JOURNEY.

HORN HAS STARTED HONKING INTERMITTENTLY, USUALLY WHILE STATIONARY AND USUALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT (THIS STARTED MID JUNE OF 2018). LAST NIGHT, STARTING AT 12:30AM, THE HORN HAS SOUNDED AT LEAST ONCE OR SEVERAL TIMES EVERY HOUR. CHANGING BATTERY IN REPLACEMENT KEY FOB HAS DONE NOTHING. (KEY FOB WAS RECALLED AND REPLACED SEVERAL YEARS AGO). CAN'T GET AN APPOINTMENT WITH A LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP FOR A WEEK SO HAVE NO IDEA WHY THIS IS HAPPENING.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, THE HORN BLOWS LIKE YOU ARE HOLDING THE HORRN DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES N TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY. IT ALSO HAS HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. WHILE WE WERE SLEEPING. WE THOUGHT SOMEONE WAS STEALING IT. AT LEAST 4 TIMES IT WENT OFF. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP IN OCT. 2017 THEY TOOK OUT THE HORN FUSES. BECAUSE IT BLOWED ALL NIGHT AND IT KILLED THE BATTERY. THEY CALLED IT THE GHOST HORN. SO I'M DRIVING AROUND NOW IN THIS VEHICLE WITHOUT A HORN.

THE VEHICLE OCCASIONALLY WILL NOT START, SOMETIMES IF YOU TURN THE KEY AND PUT IT IN NEUTRAL IT MAY START BUT NOT ANLWAYS. BATTERY AND STARTER ARE NEW. ALL ELECTRICAL IS GOOD. THE ISSUE IS AN UNRESOLVED PROBLEMS AND I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL FORUMS WITH THIS COMPLAINT ON THE DODGE JOURNEY. NO MECHANIC CAN PINPOINT WHAT CAUSES THIS. I'VE BEEN STUCK SEVERAL TIMES FOR HOURS DUE TO THE VEHICLE NOT STARTING. IT MAY BE SOME SECURITY GLITCH OR SOMETHING. DODGE NEEDS TO RECALL THIS AND GET IT FIXED.
