Hankster Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 I just received a letter today from FCA informing us of Catalytic converter problems with our Journey. Has anyone else received this? Hank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkeaton Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 You ever get this recall done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hankster Posted March 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 Actually I just got a notice in the mail today asking me to bring it in to have a new catalytic converter and a software update installed. This car is smog tested once every 2 years and easily passes. I'm not understanding why this is needed? Hank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 Apparently the converter "may" exceed NOx levels due to loss of efficiency. Canada must have stricter emissions laws than here in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockey_puck Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 Here is the story on the Consumers Report website. Looks like it will be in Canada and the U.S. https://www.consumerreports.org/car-recalls-defects/fiat-chrysler-recalls-vehicles-for-excessive-emissions/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockey_puck Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 If I get the letter I'll get it done. Otherwise, I could care less. Big red runs perfectly and only just passed 50,000 km. I don't drive much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) Yeah, I saw the recall was expanded to include US vehicles as well. Folks on the facebook page are losing their minds over this...lol Edited March 14, 2019 by jkeaton OhareFred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jstmahoney Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 I’ve heard about this, but has anyone in the us received a recall notice ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2late4u Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 just a word of warning,IF your journey is running fine i wouldn't worry about getting it fixed as when they redo the software you may lose some mpg due to stricter limits on pollution controls and if you have been passing the test your state or country requires i wouldn't do it till i had problems or they made you do it.. jkeaton and Mmpettit 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmpettit Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 I've had this recall and 2 others so far repaired on my 2012 journey. My car hasn't been the same since all these recalls started getting "fixed". Mind you my vehicle ran pretty well before all this granted I've only had it a little over 1 year. Now I'm having hell trying to figure out what's wrong with it exactly. Beyond frustrated with dodge, my local dodge dealerships service dept, customer service, recalls, warranties, etc. Never again will I buy a dodge. Word for thought, seriously think about taking your car in for recall repairs if it's running fine as is. I know that's not safe to do, however, I've done what was the "safe" / "right" thing to do and now my safety is compromised even more due to the problems I've had since work was done.

2late4u Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 you say ill never buy another dodge BUT I hate to tell ALL car manufactures will do the same thing if they have a recall on the software or other parts, just consider the VW diesel scandle if the owners take it in to be fixed the mpg goes down and maybe other things happen to it,of course i read some where you couldn't renew the tags on one if it hadent been serviced ,maybe that was just in states where the cars have to have a special tag for emissions. jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said I'll never buy a dodge again because all of them I've ever owned seem to have electrical issues and I've had to replace the alternator on every single one I've owned.

Hankster Posted July 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 I finally had this U70 recall done! I have a new catalytic converter and the latest software update. So far it runs much quieter and smoother, the transmission seems to work with the engine better. So far I am happy we had this done.
