STRANDED ON SIDE OF ROAD AFTER BATTERY SAVER LIGHT CAME ON AND ABS LIGHT CAUSING MY CAR RPMS TO FLY UP TO 4 REPEATEDLY AND I COULD BARELY GET OFF THE MAIN ROAD SAFELY BEFOELRE THE CAR STOPPED RUNNING. WHEN I GO TO TURN IT BACK ON SAYS MY CAR IS NOT IN PARK WHICH IT IS. I REALLY HOPE I'M NOT DEALING WITH WHAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE DEALT WITH WITH THIS VEHICLE. MY CAR IS ABOUT TO HIT 70K MILES. I GET EVERY SERVICE DONE TO IT. ALSO GOT THE BRAKES DONE NEW AND THEY STILL SQUEAK.

I'VE HAD BOTH DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS ACTIVE HEADREST BRAKE WITH OUT WARNING. THE PASSENGER SIDE ONE BROKE WITH THE CAR RUNNING PARKED IN A DRIVEWAY AT 75K, PASSENGER WAS STRUCK. THE DRIVERS SIDE ONE BROKE OVERNIGHT WHEN NO ONE WAS AROUND AT 85K, IN A DRIVEWAY. BOTH WERE BROKE AND NEED REPLACING, THE ACTUATOR WAS STILL IN THE LOCKED POSITION (NOT DEPLOYED).

2013 DODGE JOURNEY APPROXIMATELY 100000 MILE. UNEVEN WEAR ON REAR TIRES (EXCESSIVE INSIDE WEAR) DUE TO CAMBER. FOR SOME REASON THE REAR WHEELS ON BOTH THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE TILT INWARD CAUSING EXCESSIVE WEAR ON THE INNER TIRE. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN RECENTLY SERVICED WITH AN ALIGNMENT, THE REAR CAMBER IS NOT ADJUSTABLE STOCK AND REQUIRES AFTERMARKET CONTROL ARMS TO ALLOW FOR ADJUSTMENT WHICH WHERE INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN DRIVEN LESS THAN 1000 MILE SINCE THE TIRE REPLACEMENT AND ALIGNMENT AND THERE IS ALREADY NOTICEABLE WEAR ON THE INSIDE OF THE REAR TIRES. DUE TO THE CAMBER ISSUE THE VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.
