Some Dodge Journey owners report experiencing electric throttle issues, including symptoms such as acceleration problems, engine performance issues, and overall vehicle reliability concerns. Many have encountered connector failures that lead to complications like dirty sensors and the need for throttle body replacements. Additionally, some owners face the challenge of repetitive throttle body replacements, often due to unresolved root causes that result in intermittent failures and stalling incidents, which can leave them stranded on the highway. The appearance of the lightning bolt symbol frequently indicates an electronic throttle body sensor issue, which may not always generate a clear diagnostic trouble code, further complicating the situation. Addressing these concerns proactively is crucial for ensuring the smooth operation and reliability of the Dodge Journey.
