2009 DODGE JOURNEY Complaints

SINCE I'VE BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2013 I'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH IT STARTING. A FEW DAYS AFTER I BOUGHT IT I HAD A PROBLEM TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. 2 YEARS LATER HAD A PROBLEM AGAIN AND IT WENT AWAY. NOW IT IS DOING IT AGAIN AND I NEVER KNOW WHETHER OR NOT IT IS GOING TO START. I'VE BEEN STRANDED MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAD TO GET IT TOWED HOME. MY LIGHTS RADIO AND EVERYTHING WORK THE CAR JUST WON'T START AND I ONLY GET CLICKING SOUND. ITS NOT THE BATTERY AND NOT THE STARTER. WE HAVE FOUND DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY FOR A LITTLE WHILE WILL RESET THE COMPUTER AND THEN IT WILL START. HOWEVER I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO DO THAT AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO. IF IT DOESN'T START I HAVE TO WAIT FOR MY HUSBAND TO COME GET ME AND DO IT. MY CAR HAS BEEN RECALLED MANY TIMES FOR DIFFERENT ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND I THINK THE SHOULD BE HELD RESPOSIBLE FOR THIS TOO. YOUR CAR NOT STARTING IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU ARE OR IF HAVE CHILDREN WITH YOU ON A HOT DAY. WE HAD OUR GRANDSON WITH US ONE DAY LAST MONTH AND GOT STRANDED, WE PARKED THE CAR AND CAME BACK AN HOUR LATER AND WOULDN'T START. ALL LIGHTS AND RADIO CAME ON. WE CALLED FOR A JUMP FROM ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND THEY SAID AN HOUR AND HALF WAIT. WE WENT BACK IN THE STORE FOR AN HOUR AND CAME OUT TO SEE IF IT WOULD START AND IT DID. NO JUMP OR ANYTHING! AND EVERYDAY OTHER DAY SINCE THEN IT'S BEEN THE SAME THING. IF YOU GOOGLE THE 09 DODGE JOURNEY STARTING PROBLEMS THERE ARE MANY MANY COMPLAINTS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. PLEASE RECALL THIS CAR!!

DODGE HAS A RECALL (DODGE RECALL: SAFETY RECALL K07 / NHTSA RECALL: 10V658000) CONCERNING THE WIRING HARNESS IN THE FRONT DOOR, WHICH MAY BREAK AND COULD CAUSE THE AIRBAG LIGHT TO TURN ON AS THE SENSOR WOULD NOT BE CONNECTED. MY DODGE JOURNEY HAS THIS ISSUE WITH THE WIRING HARNESS, BUT DODGE WILL NOT FIX IT AS MY 2009 JOURNEY IS NOT LISTED UNDER THAT RECALL FOR SOME REASON.
