We are not going to pay 10,000 to fix the car and we talked with the Arrigo´s Manager (Dealer) and he said that the best solution would be to take the car as trade for another car… they offered us $1,200… no comments. Why, if the overheating problem is a known issue, they are still selling this model? This model should be withdrawn from the market. This could have happened on the road, thanks God my mother is fine, but the result could have been different.Ĥ. Why did the engine head gasket break? The dealer said that this engine model used to overheat and broke the head gasket seal, another design issue.ģ. The dashboard never noticed any fault, this is a design security flaw.Ģ. We can draw some conclusions from what happened.ġ. I checked other Dodge Journey reviews online and this car's overheating seems to be a known issue. They don't care about the Corona pandemic and the whole time the car was without use. We talked to Dodge and they didn’t offer us any solution. The warranty for this model is 5 years or 100,000 miles. The car has 60,000 miles and the 5-year warranty ended in May 2020, so we are out of warranty for four months. The dealer sent us a quote for the repair, around $10,000. The engine temperature was normal, the sensors did not send any warnings and that vehicle does not have temperature sensors for hoses or other elements. That mix (refrigerant with oil) was in the refrigerant system as a pressure cooker boiling and suddenly exploded. We used the crane to move the car to the dealer (Arrigo Sawgrass), they said that the problem was in the head gasket engine, for some reason it broke and the oil was mixing with the coolant. I actually believed that I’m buying a 20K car, but it's actually a 46K. ALWAYS buy a new car with someone else beside you. Using psychological manipulation techniques to sell cars. Suggestions: The car dealership we bought it from are all a group of liars, manipulators, cheaters and real thieves. But compared to the reviews for Quest or Odyssey that we are reading here, our Journey is a sweety. Why we want another car? Third row is really small. Goodies: Now 5 years, we are still alive and the car is great. Another thing - I have to rebalance the wheels every 4-5 months. Anyway - this time service Turned OFF those codes. In reality that was a life/death situation. Thank GOD it was during the day and other cars noticed us and stopped.
Thank GOD it "persisted", the engine stalled again, same speed, middle of the road where everyone is driving at max. First time, service said it's a coding problem, and I should come back ONLY if this "problem" persists. Except twice the engine stopped on the highway at 90km/h and the steering wheel was blocked.
