2014 Dodge Journey owner complaints (15)

• SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

  The Electronic Brake Control Module: Anti-Lock Brakes. This has caused the cruise control to stop working, the wheel sensors on the front to stop working. The speedometer (digital and gauge) to stop working and the Engine light to stay on. This has been witness by an Independent service center. The dash sensors would go on and off randomly. Many other repairs have been performed throughout the pass 3 years.Unsure when the first sensor started. Today 6/12/2026 replaced the wheel senors but they do not register on the dash, senors lights remain on.

• ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,SERVICE BRAKES

  Car acceleration literally jumping from 30-50mph this is all something that can be felt happening car accelerating when braking is occurring so when slowing the car down it does a speed up then it will begin slowing down then we have the car not wanting to accelerate at all almost like it is stuttering to go this occurs when I get to a red light and it goes green and I press that gas I acts as if something isn’t registering fast enough. I’ve took my car to be serviced for these problems nobody seems to find an issue with the problems occurring the problem puts others at risk because we could possibly collide if I where to brake and the car continues to keep going instead of coming to a complete stop. No it hasn’t been inspected by any manufacturer or police or insurance companies no there weren’t any warning lamps or messages going on at this time yes my car is available for inspection because that is what I need a proper inspection to determine the problem

• UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  I was informed that it was the transmission. The vehicle does not advance going 5 mph. The vehicle stopped working in a busy intersection and I had to pull over into a parking lot. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone.

• SERVICE BRAKES

  It’s July 7, 2025 driving the car to get to a work related visit. It’s a 14/15 mile drive from my home. I get to my destination. Coming back home about a minute on the road my vehicle begins to struggle as I accelerate to continue the speed limit of 35 mph. vehicle is struggling to maintain speed. Then the traction control light comes on the dashboard and subsequently the ABS light comes on. It’s an 80 degree day no rain. After 3 minutes the lights go away, I am driving very cautious, I’m not sure why the both lights came on. The lights come on a second time. When those lights come on the car did not want to drive. It felt as if the breaking system either kicked in or thinks it should. I started looking into what it could be with the help of father. We changed speed sensor and wheel bearing of the front right wheel tire. I had a friend run his own OBE reader and it had signaled the issues was coming from that. Took it for a test drive and at a green light both traction and ABS lights come on and I stuck there unable to accelerate. At this point traction control and ABS light come on and stay on for half the day. I’m no longer driving the car. I finally come to terms that I have to take it to a mechanic. I take it to Dealership in November 2025 they run the diagnostics on it and turns out the ABS module and Rear right tire sensor are the issue. At that point they informed me the ABS module is back ordered it may take a week to 2 weeks for the part to arrive. My car stays at the shop the part still has no ETA. On March 13 the dealer informs the part arrived and they fixed the vehicle. ABS module was very corroded per the service report. 3/29 the traction light comes on the dashboard stays on for a minute then leaves it continues throughout that week. A week later, ABS and traction light on. I go back to the dealership with my concerns. I’m informed the ABS module has water leaking inside, it was cleaned out. My thought are the ABS module can have manufacturing issue

• SEATS

  While parked the drivers seat headrest ARS system activated. Hitting the driver in the back of the head.

• AIR BAGS

  None of the airbags in the car deployed when I was in a high-impact front-end collision traveling at 45 mph. I was wearing my seatbelt, but the airbags did not deploy. I did not have the added protection of the airbags, so my injuries were much more severe than they would have been if the airbags had deployed. I have 2, possibly 3 fractures in my neck and spine, 2 fractures to the ribs near the sternum, organ damage, necrosis and nerve damage to the right leg, severe whiplash and many more injuries. The insurance company inspected the car after the car accident, Pioneer Insurance Company. There were no warning lights on that would indicate a problem with the airbags. I had been driving that car for years and never had a problem with the airbags. To my knowledge, no one has ever been in an accident in this car that would require the use of the airbags. I expected the airbags to work if I ever needed them and they did not, without warning.

• SERVICE BRAKES

  I am the original owner of a Dodge Journey 2014 SXT that had the R61 ABS recall done in 2016. Now my ABS and Traction Light is on constantly and I have no cruise control. I took it into a dealer for the U49 Recall and asked them to look at the ABS issue. They said the ABS module needed replacement and the wiring due to rodent damage. I contacted my insurance for comprehensive coverage of rodent damage.. The insurance adjuster went to look at the car and found NO RODENT DAMAGE and therefore no claim...I contacted FCA (Stellantis) customer service center and was told that the R61 recall for this vehicle on this issue was already performed in 2016 . They told me that the recall was only guaranteed for 2 years???? Should not the recall of the R61 that was done in 2016 for safety be still under warranty????

• POWER TRAIN,UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  viscous unit for AWD dodge journeys has been failing causing a clunking and chunking noise. Causing the car jerk on takeoff or on turns. From what others been having issues with is the same thing. Causing a risk of a crash of the rear differential cracking and breaking free from the car. I had to replace the Rear Axle Bdorc/Viscous Unit on my car already, again from what I read from other owners, they have been having the same issue. and some are worse than others. I fear that it may cause danger to the occupants inside the car and around.

• UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  Recall U67

• ENGINE

  I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding a persistent engine misfire in my 2014 Dodge Journey AWD, which I believe may pose a safety risk to my family, myself, other drivers, and is not explained by regular maintenance and care. Since I first purchased the vehicle, I have performed all necessary maintenance and adhered to the recommended service intervals. However, despite these precautions, the engine has experienced consistent misfires. The misfires are particularly noticeable when I attempt to accelerate, whether when speeding up or turning. This issue has caused a noticeable hesitation in power delivery, which has created dangerous situations while merging onto highways or trying to maintain speed during turns. I have taken the vehicle to multiple certified mechanics and dealerships, but they have been unable to provide a clear cause for the engine misfires. The misfires have not been resolved with routine maintenance or repairs. This issue has persisted for several months and continues to affect the vehicle's performance, causing slow acceleration and hesitation, which increases the risk of accidents or collisions in certain driving situations. Given the nature of this issue and its potential impact on vehicle safety, I am concerned that this problem may be more widespread and may require further investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. I would appreciate it if your agency could look into this matter and assess whether this issue could be a design flaw, manufacturing defect, or an undiscovered safety hazard. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I look forward to your response and any guidance or steps that can be taken to address this issue.
