I HAVE A 2009 DODGE JOURNEY, WHEN THE HEAT IS ON IN THE VEHICLE THE PASSENGER SIDE BLOWS COLD AIR ON ONE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE I'VE BEEN ON THE INTERNET AND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING, AND THE DEALERSHIP ARE CHARGING $600-$1200 TO FIX THE PROBLEM, WHEN THIS IS A CAR DEFECT, PERIOD.....

THE POWER STEERING RETURN HOSE AT THE RACK POSITION BROKE IN BELOW FREEZING CONDITIONS WHEN I FIRST STARTED IT A FEW WEEKS AGO. THE HOSE IS BROKE AND IT'S LEAKING POWER STEERING FLUID AND IT'S HARD TIME STEER THE VEHICLE AT TIMES. OTHER 09 DODHE JOURNEYS HAVE BEEN RECALLED, BUT MINE, SXT AWD WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ACCORDING TO THE VIN NUMBER. I FEEL IT SHOULD BE AND THE HOSE IS STILL CURRENTLY BROKEN. I AM ON A FIXED INCOME AND THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY CHRYSLER INSTEAD OF OUT OF MY POCKET. IT IS HIGHER MILEAGE AND THE MOTOR IS NOT THE ORIGINAL BUT THAT SHOULD NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO ME. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT.

THE TOTAL BILL WAS 383.17. IT'S FUNNY THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR AND MODEL YET MINE ISN'T RECALLED. THE RECALL EXPLAINS WHAT HAPPENS AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPEND TO MY JOURNEY.
