I OWN A 2010 DODGE JOURNEY. WHENEVER THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ENGAGED AND THE CAR'S SPEED INCREASES TO A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY FIVE MILES PER HOUR OVER THE CRUISE CONTROL SETTING, WHEN YOU ARE TRAVELING DOWNHILL, FOR EXAMPLE, THE CAR WILL VIOLENTLY DOWNSHIFT AND THE ENGINE'S RPMS WILL RISE TO OVER 5000 RPMS UNLESS YOU DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL. THE DOWNSHIFT IS VIOLENT AND COULD RESULT IS A LOSS OF CONTROL IF YOU ARE ON A LESS THAN A CLEAR, DRY ROAD SURFACE. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WE WERE TOLD THAT THE ISSUE WAS KNOWN BUT NO FIX WAS AVAILABLE. I WAS TOLD NOT TO USE THE CRUISE CONTROL UNLESS THERE WERE DRY DRIVING CONDITIONS. MY CONCERN IS THAT THERE MAY BE HIDDEN DAMAGE DONE TO THE CAR DUE TO THE VIOLENT NATURE OF THE SHIFTING AND I MAY LOSE CONTROL, EVEN ON DRY SURFACES AS THE SHIFTING IS SURPRISING AND VIOLENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN SITTING UPRIGHT IN THE DRIVERS SEAT, THE HEAD REST WOULD PUSH HIS HEAD SO FAR FORWARD THAT HIS CHIN WOULD REST ON HIS CHEST. THE CONTACT ALSO COULD NOT REST HIS SHOULDERS AGAINST THE SEAT. THE PASSENGER SEAT DID NOT HAVE THE SAME FAILURE. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT HE COULD READJUST THE HEADREST BUT WHEN ATTEMPTING TO DO SO, THE HEAD REST WOULD ONLY MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO ADJUST THE HEADREST WHERE THE CONTACTS CHIN WAS NOT ON HIS CHEST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 150 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 6,000.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR LOST ALL ELECTRICAL POWER AND ENGINE SHUT DOWN. I QUICKLY PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED. WHEN I CONTACTED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THEY HAD ME BRING THE CAR IN BUT WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR OVER A WEEK AND NO ONE WAS ABLE TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN. THERE IS ALSO A SECONDARY ISSUE. WHEN YOU INITIALLY GO TO START THE CAR IT WILL NOT START THE FIRST TIME. IT WILL HOWEVER START THE SECOND TIME. AGAIN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER THAT SAME AFTERNOON I HAD STOPPED AT THE STORE AND WHEN I WENT TO START THE CAR IT DID NOT START THE FIRST TIME. *TR
