You can read online anywhere that the ECU is a MAJOR problem. My car battery dies everytime i shut it off. Ive replace the battery 8 times, the alternator 4 times. Had countless amout of diagnostic tests done on it. Still nothing. Come to find out its the ECU which i cant afford to replace as its over $800 to repair. Look online and you'll see almost everyone with a journey has this problem. When it causes my car to shut off while driving, it becomes a serious safety issue as i always have 4 small children with me. 3 three year olds and a 6 year old. Nobody wants a dodge because of the problems associated with it. Please fix this. Please.

WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED, BACK IN FEBRUARY. OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS THE VEHICLE HAD SPORADICALLY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE ENGINE COMPLETELY STOPS WHILE MOVING. SOME TIMES IT TAKES MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO TURN IT BACK ON AFTER SHUTTING DOWN AND OTHER TIMES IT WILL TURN BACK ON. WE HAVE ALREADY HAD THE CAR LOOKED AT AND HAD SOME RECALL WORK DONE TO IT, BUT THIS KEEPS HAPPENING EVEN SO. IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY WHILE GOING 40 MPH, 2 SECONDS BEFORE THE CAR STALLED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN THE CAR STOPPED WHILE DRIVING. THANKFULLY THE PERSON BEHIND ME WAS NOT FOLLOWING TOO CLOSE BECAUSE THEY ALMOST HIT ME WHEN THE CAR STOPPED MOVING. I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET WITH MODERATE TRAFFIC AROUND ME, SO I AM LUCKY THAT NO ONE HIT ME WHEN THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND PUT MY HAZARDS ON, WHILE WAITING TO RESTART THE CAR. THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AND I AM SURE THIS WON'T BE THE LAST.

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2011-2015 Dodge Journey vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the driver's frontal air bag may unexpectedly deploy if the air bag wiring harness gets chafed within the steering wheel and short circuits.

Risk: Unexpected deployment of the driver's frontal air bag increases the risk of a crash or driver injury.

Remedy: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the air bag wiring within the steering wheel, replacing it if necessary. A protective cover will also be installed. These repairs will be made free of charge. The recall began August 28, 2017. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is T47.

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain model year 2009-2016 Dodge Journey vehicles manufactured July 31, 2007, to November 12, 2016. After exposure to cold temperatures, the power steering return hose may rupture at engine start-up causing a loss of power steering assist.

Risk: A loss of power steering assist may require extra steering effort, especially at lower speeds, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the power steering return hoses, steel tubes, and power steering oil cooler, free of charge. The recall began on May 24, 2016. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is S08.

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain model year 2011-2015 Dodge Journey vehicles manufactured July 19, 2010, to May 26, 2015 and equipped with 2.4L engines. In the affected vehicles, the engine cover may detach from the engine and contact the exhaust manifold.

Risk: If the displaced engine cover contacts the exhaust manifold, there would be an increased risk of a vehicle fire.

Remedy: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will install an improved mounting system for the engine cover, free of charge. The recall began on October 15, 2015. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is R32.

SOME OF THESE VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN BUILT WITH A MISSING OR INCORRECTLY INSTALLED STEERING COLUMN PIVOT RIVET.

Risk: A MISSING OR INCORRECTLY INSTALLED RIVET COULD COMPROMISE THE ABILITY OF THE STEERING COLUMN TO SUPPORT THE OCCUPANT LOADS IN THE EVENT OF A FRONTAL CRASH, DECREASING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE FRONTAL IMPACT SAFETY SYSTEM. AS A RESULT, THE CONDITION MAY INCREASE THE POTENTIAL FOR INJURY IN A FRONTAL CRASH.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT FOR RIVET PRESENCE AND ALIGNMENT AND REPAIR THE STEERING COLUMN PIVOT AS REQUIRED, FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON JULY 4, 2011. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403.
