2012 DODGE JOURNEY Complaints

SINCE I PURCHASE MY CAR, THE RADIO HAS GONE OUT OF CONTO ANDCONSTINLEY KEEP CHANGING THE CHANNELS AND WON'T STOP. WHILE DRIVING MY RADIO AND HVAC TURNED OFF AND INTERIOR LIGHT CAME ON. NOW MY GEARS HESITATING TO SHIFT (STICKING) WHEN TURNING MAKING A LOUD THUMP. THIS ALL HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, STREET. IF I HIT A BUMP, MY RADIO WOULD CHANGE CHANNELS

OUR AWD JOURNEY HAD TO HAVE THE BACK DRIVER SIDE BRAKING SYSTEM FIXED AT AROUND 35000 MILES. THIS INCLUDED REPLACING THE CALIPER AND BRAKE LINE. NOW AT 38000 THE BRAKE IS STICKING ON THE BACK DRIVER SIDE AND WILL HAVE TO BE WORKED ON AGAIN. THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ON CITY AND HIGHWAYS. IT HAPPENS WHEN IT IS BOTH A CURVY AND STRAIGHT ROAD.

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WHICH CONTROLS YOUR ABILITY TO TURN ON RADIO, TAPE PLAYER, AND HEATING/AIR CONDITIONING HAS GONE OUT. I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN NOVEMBER 2013, AND IT'S UNFORTUNATE FOR ME THAT I DID. ANOTHER FAILURE OF THIS AUTOMOBILE IS WHEN IT RAINS HEAVILY, MY BACK DOORS FILL WITH RAIN WATER. YOU CAN HEAR IT INSIDE OF THE DOORS. IT MAKES ME BELIEVE THAT THE CAR WAS IN SOME TYPE OF FLOODING CONDITION. MY BACK WHEEL ON THE DRIVE'S SIDE ALSO HAS A BROWNISH-RED TINGE THAT APPEARS TO BE RUST. I AM DISAPPOINTED. DID I SEE THE CORRECT REPORT OF THE RELIABILITY OF THE CAR? WHEN YOU PLACE THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND START, OR USE ANY OF THE MODES ON THE IGNITION, THE SCREEN WAS CONSTANTLY STATING, "LOADING," AND IT TURNED BLACK AND IS OUT. THIS HAPPENED BEFORE IN 2014 AND I THOUGHT THAT MAYBE IT WAS JUST A GLITCH, BUT IT ISN'T.
