2010 DODGE JOURNEY Complaints

I WAS SITTING IN MY APARTMENT WHEN MY DAUGHTER CAME IN AND ASKED WHY MY CAR WAS RUNNING, I HAVE MY KEY SITTING 100 YDS FROM THE CAR, I TURNED THE CAR OFF WENT BACK INSIDE AND 10 MIN LATER IT STARTED AGAIN I USED THE DOOR LOCK TO LOCK IT THIS TIME, IT HAVEN'T STARTED BY ITSELF SINCE I STARTED DOING THIS. NOW WHEN I GET WITHIN 10FT OF THE CAR IT WILL UNLOCK AND ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS I DON'T EVEN HAVE THE KEY IN MY HAND. I CAN' T HAVE THIS HAPPEN ANY MORE HELP.

HAVE INTERMITTENT STARTER FAILS. OFTEN LEAVES ME STRANDED. HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET IT GOING EVENTUALLY BY JIGGLING FUSES IN THE FUSE BOX. BUT I NEVER KNOW WHEN THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN AND I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 6 MONTHS AND IT HAS HAPPENED 6 TIMES. VEHICLE WAS ALWAYS TURNED OFF AND WHEN I WENT TO TURN IT ON, NOTHING. BUT THERE IS POWER IN THE CAR, LIGHTS AND RADIO ETC.

IT'S NOT YOUR STARTER OR ALTERNATOR IT'S YOUR NEUTRAL CUT OUT (SAFETY SWITCH). HAVE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL TO START. OWN A 2010 AND HAVE CALLED AND COMPLAINED ABOUT IT AS IT IS A SAFETY PROBLEM. IF YOU DON'T GET ANY SATISFACTION FROM YOUR DEALER OR DODGE FILE A DEFECT COMPLAINT FORM AND GET THEM TO INVESTIGATE A RECALL. SAVE YOUR RECEIPTS FOR ALL EXPENSES INCURRED FOR THIS ISSUE AND THEY WILL REIMBURSE YOU. IT'S BEEN HAPPENING MORE OFTEN IT IS SPORADIC, LOOKING UP THIS INFO. I SEE IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES I NEED IT FIXED I CAN NOT AFFORD TO GET STUCK I AM A SINGLE MOM.
