vermie22 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Hi, I believe there have been numerous complaints on this forum for this topic, but I have a 2009 Dodge Journey with 50556KM on it. I have experienced violent shuddering at random times, usually when accelorating between 90 -100km/h. I have had the engine light come on and disappear, then on this past Sunday the engine light came on and and did not go away. I brought it to the dealer and they said it had a code that meant the #2 piston misfired. They checked the plugs/lines piston compression, and a few other things I can't remember, but they could not make it happen again, and sent me on my mary way. Last night the engine was shuddering again, very violently (no engine light though). I brought it back in today, and they mentioned a possible sensor malfunction (just a guess on their part at this time). So far they seem very reluctant to try and dig any further or suggest a root cause to the problem. I am getting very frustrated, as this car only has 55000km, and alreadi I have had to replace all rotars and pads, an inner tie rod, a software update for the transmission shifting hard, and had to replace the radiator.

vermie22 Posted March 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Update, after talking directly to the head mechanic at the dealership, they are replacing the #2 piston at no cost as the power train is still under warranty (also covered the $25 a day rental loaner vehicle). This makes me happy, and hope the problem is solved. However, with all the problems I have had, I am seriously considering trading it in at this time. I do not feel comfortable that I will be problem free in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the repairs are completed feel free to send me a PM and let me know how things went. I look forward to hearing back from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
