CAR WAS BOUGHT 02/2016. STARTING HAVING START AND ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS IN MARCH 2016 CONTACTED DEALERSHIP IN MAY 2016 HAD KEY REPLACED AND ELECTRICAL REPLACED IN JULY CAR WAS STILL HAVING PROBLEMS. OPENED A CASE WITH DODGE, AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE UNTIL THE DEALERSHIP CAN DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM THE CAR STARTS INTERMITTENTLY, RADIO WILL TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING AND TURN ON AT FULL VOLUME THE ONLY HAPPENS IF YOU DRIVE THE CAR. I WILL NOT HAPPEN IF IT SITS IN A PARKING LOG BEING STOPPED AND STARTED EVERY DAY. CAR FAX WILL SHOW THAT THE KEYS AND ELECTRICAL HAVE NOW BEEN REPLACED TWICE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN ON A CURVE, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO WIGGLE.

THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACTED RESIDENCE. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NETS CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V373000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

MY 2009 DODGE JOURNEY SXT WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, NOT STOPPED BUT RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPEN 2 TIMES SENSE GETTING IT BACK FROM THE DEALER IN JANUARY FROM TAKING IT IN FOR THE RECALL FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NOW I AM BEING TOLD TO BRING IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST TO SEE IF IT RELATED TO THE RECALL AND IF NOT RELATED THEN I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSIS LOL YEA RIGHT!! I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A CAR DYING WHILE DRIVING IT. IF I AM TOLD I HAVE TO PAY AS MICH AS ONE PENNY THE ONLY THING I WILL BE PAYING FOR IS A LAWYER.

I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET ANY DODGE DEALERSHIP TO HELP ME TAKE CARE OF RECALL RO3 AND I CONTINUE TO GET THE RUN AROUND. I FINALLY GOT ONE TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH AND TOOK THE DAY OFF OF WORK TO GET IT RESOLVED. AFTER WAITING FOR 3.5 HOURS I WAS TOLD THE "PART WASN'T IN" EVEN THOUGH I HAD SCHEDULED THE APPOINTMENT WEEKS IN ADVANCE AND WAS TOLD THEY HAD THE PARTS. SO AGAIN I HAVE GOTTEN THE RUN AROUND FROM DODGE. I DO NOT HAVE CONFIDENCE THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL EVER BE TAKEN CARE OF BY DODGE.
