There are 4 owner-reported fuel system complaints for the 2016 Dodge Journeyin NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
Since I bought this car it would pull when I drive. Asked dodge once and told nothing wrong. Now years later an engine light always shows up. Car was checked and O2 sensor issue. I found recall on exact issue and my VIN not showing up. I want this fixed so my vin shows up as recall. This is not ok. I have enclosed the recall.
OUT OF FUEL VEHICLE ENDED UP IN TRAFFIC WITH CARS ZIPPING BY. POLICE WERE CALLED BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION COULD NOT BE PLACED IN NEUTRAL TO PUSH VEHICLE OUT OF TRAFFIC. HAD POLICE NOT ASSISTED IT WOULD RESULT IN BEING REAR ENDED WITH CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. THE POLICE NOR THE TOW TRUCK KNEW HOW TO PLACE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL. 3 MONTHS LATER THE BATTERY DIED AND VEHICLE COULD NOT BE PLACED IN NEUTRAL TO ALLOW JUMP START. LUCKY THIS DID NOT HAPPEN IN TRAFFIC OR CHILDREN WOULD BE AT RISK AGAIN . THIS COULD ALSO HAVE BEEN AVOIDED EXCEPT THAT THERE IS NO IDIOT LIGHT ON DASH TO WARN OF BATTERY CONDITION.
THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER ALWAYS A PROBLEM TWO TIMES I CHANGE THIS BUT AFTER 3 MONTHS BROKEN AGAIN
THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR LOSS OF POWER.
