2009 DODGE JOURNEY Complaints

HAVE LOST MOST CONTROLS FROM DRIVERS DOOR SWITCH, ONLY THING THAT WORKS IS REAR WINDOWS. ALL OTHER 3 DOORS WORK FINE INDEPENDENTLY. VEHICLE HAD THE K07 RECALL DONE IN FEB 2011. SINCE THEN, THERE WAS INTERMITTENT AUTO/UP-DOWN ON BOTH FRONT DOORS. NOW I HAVE LOST FUNCTION AS MENTIONED BEFORE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT LOCAL DODGE/CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SINCE 14 NOVEMBER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR. THEY CANT FIGURE OUR PROBLEM. CHRYSLER CORPORATION WAS CONTACTED BY ME FOR ASSISTANCE ON 19 NOV. AS OF THIS MESSAGE, STILL NO FINAL DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR. ALL THEY DO IS KEEP CHANGING PARTS AS DIRECTED BY CHRYSLER. WE ARE EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED WITH THIS SITUATION AND MY GUT FEELINGS TELL ME THERE IS A FAILURE WITH THE K07 RECALL AND/OR KEY FOB RECALL NUMBER R03. ALL THESE COMPONENTS ARE RELATED ELECTRONICALLY. SINCERELY THINK ITS TIME FOR THE NHTSA TO RELOOK THESE 2 RECALLS WITH CHRYSLER CORPORATION. *TR

TAKATA RECALL. WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE WHEN GOING TO SLOW DOWN THE DODGE JOURNEY WILL STALL OUT. EVERYTHING WILL JUST SHUT OFF AND SOMETIMES WILL HAVE A HARD TIME STARTING BACK UP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE ESC, ABS, AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHIMMY. THE CONTACT TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, WHICH CLEARED THE WARNING INDICATORS MOMENTARILY; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. ATLANTIC DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (2330 US-1, ST AUGUSTINE, FL 32086, (904) 797-4383) INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE LATERAL ACCELERATION DYNAMIC SENSOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,736.

FRONT PASSENGER "NO SEAT BELT" LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON WHEN SEAT OCCUPIED. LIGHT WILL COME ON WHEN SEAT IS UNOCCUPIED. PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOOR AND NOW REAR DOOR NO LONGER OPERATES ELECTRICALLY. REAR PASSENGER WILL WILL NOT OPEN MANUALLY INTERIOR OR EXTERIOR.

2009 DODGE JOURNEY FAILS TO START AT TIMES. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN MORE FREQUENT. I'VE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 4 YEARS AND HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE FOR 3. THE BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED ALONG WITH MANY OTHER COSTLY REPAIRS. THE FAILURE TO START HAS LEFT ME STRANDED ON MANY OCCASIONS AND THE SUGGESTION TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL FIRST WOULD BE HELPFUL IF I COULD DEPRESS THE BRAKE, BUT I CAN'T...IT'S AS THOUGH THEY'RE LOCKED. AS A SINGLE MOM, THIS IS VERY DISCONCERTING AS I AM ALWAYS ON THE GO BETWEEN WORK, SCHOOL AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS.

EVERY FOUR ROTATIONS OF THE IGNITION RESULTS IN MY VEHICLE BEING UNABLE TO START. I GET 3 CLICKS WITH NO START. THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AT THE TIME OF AFFECT. I HAVE BEEN RENDERED STRANDED AT DOCTOR'S OFFICES DUE TO THIS ISSUE. DODGE REFUSES TO LOOK AT IT OR ACKNOWLEDGE THERE ARE ISSUES. EVERY TIME I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY WANT $125 JUST TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE.
