BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW AND HAVE HAD TO DO BRAKES 4 TIMES. TRAVEL WITH VEHICLE IS MOSTLY LOCAL TO AND FROM WORK AND SCHOOL SPORTING EVENTS FOR THE KIDS. HAD TO REDO THEM IN 6 MONTH PERIOD.

PASSENGER FRONT SEAT HEADREST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE HEADREST SHOT OPEN STRIKING MY WIFE IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I HAVE READ OTHER ISSUES OTHER PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE A ACCIDENT HAPPENS AND SOMEONE GETS KILLED. I THINK DODGE SHOULD BE RECALLING THESE VEHICLES FOR THESE ISSUES.

FRONT PASSENGER SEAT SEATBELT LATCH HAS FAILED PREMATURELY. IT NO LONGER LATCHES, PREVENTING THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER FROM BEING PROTECTED.VEHICLE HAS ONLY 124,000 MILES ON IT.

FUEL HAND GOES TO EMPTY, LIGHTS POWER OFF,POWER LOCKS STOP WORKING, A/C CUTS OFF WHILE IN MOTION BUT CAR WILL NOT CUT OFF UNLESS DISCONNECTED FROM BATTERY HAPPENED ON A CITY STREET BUT I DROVE ON THE HIGHWAY AFTERWARDS JUST TO GET IT HOME WILL NOT CRANK FROM PUSH START BUTTON HAVE TO RECONNECT THE BATTERY AND HOLD DOWN A FUSE

1. DRIVER SIDE HEADREST POPPED (AIRBAG) WHILE PARKED. THE BRAKE LIGHT IN THE DASH WAS ILLUMINATED 2. ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL THE "BRAKE" LIGHT ILLUMINATES INTERMITTENLY

I HAVE HAD THE CAR THREE MONTHS AND THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP MULTIPLE TIMES HAD THE ENGINE REPLACED AND THE BATTERY AND THE CAR IS DOING IT AGAIN IT WILL NOT START AND I'M AT THE END WITH THIS LEMON OF A CAR

MY HEAD REST DEPLOYED WHILE I WAS STATIONARY IN THE DRIVE THROUGH LINE AT A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT (LUCKILY, IT DID NOT HIT ME IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD, BECAUSE I HAD LEANED FORWARD TO TALK TO THE RESTAURANT WORKER). AFTER RESEARCHING HOW TO FIX THIS/THE COST OF FIXING THIS, I SEE THAT THIS HAPPENS TO NEARLY EVERY DODGE JOURNEY. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL.

MISFIRE, LOSS OF POWER, AND STALLING WHILE IN MOTION AND WHILE IDLING . HAD VEHICLE INSPECTED. CYLINDER #2 HAS A MISFIRE AND THE CYLINDER HEAD NEEDS REPLACED. I WAS INFORMED THAT MY YEAR MAKE AND MODEL WAS INVOLVED IN AN EXTENDED WARRANTLY FROM CHRYSLER TO COVER ALL VEHICLES FITTED WITH THE 3.6 LITER MOTOR FOR THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE. HOWEVER MY PARTICULAR VIN ISN'T SHOWING THAT IT IS COVERED EVEN THOUGH I HAVE THE EXACT SAME MOTOR, YEAR MAKE AND MODEL, AND ISSUES AS THE OTHERS. THIS IS NOT FAIR THAT I AM EXPERIENCE THESE ISSUES BUT THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT BECAUSE MY VIN ISN'T ON THE LIST!!! THIS IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX AND IS DANGEROUS. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND COMPLETELY LOST POWER, I WAS ALMOST HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE I WAS TRYING TO FIND A PLACE TO GET OFF THE ROAD. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WILL STALL WHEN I AM PULLING OUT , WHICH HAS LEFT ME STALLING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. THIS IS MY PRIMARY VEHICLE AND I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT. THIS IS A DEFECT THAT HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED BY CHRYSLER GROUP AND YET THEY REFUSE TO FIX MY VEHICLE. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS TO COVER THE PENTASTAR V6 3.6 LITER SIX-CYLINDER TO 10 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES WHICH EVER COMES FIRST.
