1 Differential Unit problem of the 2015 Dodge Journey

The gear box & differential went out when we were trying to park. Applied the gas pedal, felt like the vehicle wouldn't move, applied the gas more & heard a loud �boom. � we're able to get the vehicle parked, then smoke started coming from the engine. Looked to find out there was gear oil leaking from the vehicle. Looked online @ Dodge Journeys & found out there have been a multitude of complaints about the same issue with other owners. Had to get the vehicle towed home due to being unable to drive it. This happened October 19th, 2019 & we've been unable to drive the vehicle since incident. Our Dodge Journey is a 2015 sxt all wheel drive with about 120,000 miles on it. There needs to be a manufacturer recall on these vehicles!! we've been told it's going to cost anywhere from $5,000 to upwards of $7,000 to get this issue fixed and we still have a vehicle loan of $11,000 we owe on it.

3 Differential Unit problem of the 2012 Dodge Journey

We had issues with the differential, updates needed and Dodge has no clue. But now this. . . We have a 2012 Dodge Journey that is acting very strange. It started with the headlights being on, even when they were off (we do not have automatic lights). . . Then after the car was off, the headlights would flash on and off every 10-30 seconds, we would have to undo the battery to keep it from dieing. We replaced the headlights switch and it still does and added a symptom. When my husband would manually lock the doors, it would unlock by itself. We were told it was the tipm which has to be done by Dodge. Not sure what it will do next!. See all problems of the 2012 Dodge Journey 🔎 .
