Went to go get gas driving the 2010 dodge journey sxt. Corner of villa and north av. In villa park , illinois filled my gas tank up pulled out of the gas station. Within 100 feet of driving away from the gas station my cars electrical system started to malfunction. Meaning windshield wipers going, horn going off, dash board lights flashing all lighting up, etc. Car power steering cuts off and acceleration shuts off. I had to coast my car into an empty parking lot to asset the situation.
I own a 2010 dodge journey. Whenever the cruise control is engaged and the car's speed increases to a speed of approximately five miles per hour over the cruise control setting, when you are traveling downhill, for example, the car will violently downshift and the engine's rpms will rise to over 5000 rpms unless you disengage the cruise control. The downshift is violent and could result is a loss of control if you are on a less than a clear, dry road surface.
2010 dodge journey one of the pistons keeps mis-firing and the car shakes badly at medium speeds (55-70). Will be second time taking car in for the same issue.
Horn honks on its own at random times. Windows go up and down on their own. Electrical panel blinks by itself. Ingine has shirt off by itself. Problem has been trying to be solved by dealership service depar :( ent for almost an entire month with zero progress. Tpim was updated, key fobs replaced twice, battery replaced twice, click spring replaced and now waiting on instrument cluster so it can be replaced.
Power steering makes a whinning sound when starting the SUV. The airbag light will not turn off and the engine light is on due to electrical issues. My ignition also slips while driving.
