STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:HOSE, PIPING, AND CONNECTIONS
A loss of power steering assist may require extra steering effort, especially at lower speeds, increasing the risk of a crash.
3 safety recall campaigns, 4 defect investigations (1 open), 1,481 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
A loss of power steering assist may require extra steering effort, especially at lower speeds, increasing the risk of a crash.
If the ignition key inadvertently moves into the OFF or ACCESSORY position, the engine will turn off, which will then depower various key safety systems including but not limited to air bags, power steering, and power braking. Loss of functionality of these systems may increase the risk of crash and/or increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
LEAKED POWER STEERING FLUID ONTO HOT ENGINE COMPONENTS COULD CAUSE A FIRE.
Two 2010 DODGE JOURNEYs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
