I BOUGHT MY 2010 DODGE JOURNEY NEW AFTER AN ACCIDENT TOTALED OUT MY PREVIOUS VEHICLE. I AM A SINGLE MOM WITH ONE VEHICLE FOR OUR FAMILY OF 4 AND THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE A GOOD SAFE VEHICLE FOR MY FAMILY. QUITE THE OPPOSITE! I HAVE SPENT SO MUCH MONEY ON THIS CAR FOR REPAIRS, HAVE HAD 2 RECALL ISSUES (ONE OF WHICH LEFT ME AND ONE OF MY DAUGHTERS STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AT NIGHT), AND HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKES, ROTOR, CALIPER, MORE TIMES THAN I CAN REMEMBER. THE LAST TIME WAS IN FEB. AND NOW MY CAR HAS ALREADY RECENTLY STARTED SHAKING AGAIN WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES. I HAVE ONLY DRIVEN ABOUT 9,000 MILES SINCE REPLACED LAST. THIS IS NOT A SINGLE INCIDENT BUT A REPETITIVE SAFETY ISSUE. I CANNOT KEEP UP WITH THE EXTREMELY HIGH AMOUNT OF REPAIRS AND COSTS IT TAKES TO KEEP THIS VEHICLE SAFE TO DRIVE.

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING FRQUENT SHUT OFFS AND NOT CRANKING. AFTER NUMEROUS VISIT TO DEALER NONONE COULD FIND THE CAUSE. IN JUNE 2015 I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER. THE DODGE DEALER PUT ME ON A WAITING LIST AND AS OF TOFAY THEY STILL HAVE TROUBLE GETTING THE PART. THE PROBLEM IS GETTING MORE FREQUENT AND I AM AT MY WITS END. PLEASE HELP

MY PROBLEMS FIRST STARTED WITH MY HORN AND ALARM RANDOMLY GOING OFF. THEN I GO OUT TO MY CAR AFTER WORK AND THE DOORS ARE UNLOCKED, AND THE FRONT WINDOWS ARE ROLLED DOWN. I DON'T CARRY THE REMOTE/FOB ON ME, SO THAT'S NOT THE CAUSE. I HAVE HAD AT LEAST 2 SEPARATE TIMES NOW WHERE THE CAR HAS REMOTE STARTED ITSELF, WHILE THE KEYS WERE ON THE COUNTER AT MY HOUSE. THE FIRST TIME MY CAR WAS IN THE GARAGE, WITH THE DOOR CLOSED, WHEN I HEARD IT RUNNING. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO CATCH IT AND TURN IT OFF, BEFORE ANY CARBON MONOXIDE GOT IN THE HOUSE TO DO DAMAGE. NOW I PARK THE CAR IN THE DRIVEWAY, BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT IT IN THE GARAGE IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN AT NIGHT. MY NEIGHBOR TEXTED ME THE OTHER NIGHT TO TELL ME MY CAR WAS RUNNING IN THE DRIVEWAY. MY WIFE, SON, AND I WERE ALL UPSTAIRS AND THE KEYS WERE DOWNSTAIRS. I CONSIDER THIS A VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM. CARBON MONOXIDE CAN KILL.

WHEN USING HIGH BEAMS/BRIGHT LIGHTS, ALL GAUGES, INDICATER LIGHTS AND BACK LIGHTS ON THE CONTROL PANEL GO CRAZY. BACK LIGHTS FADE IN AND OUT. ALL INDICATER LIGHTS BLINK ON AND OFF. ALL GAUGES (GAS, RPM, SPEEDOMETER, TEMPERATURE) GO ALL THE WAY UP AND DOWN SEVERAL TIMES. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE; ONCE UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING, THEN AGAIN WHILE SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY WHILE I "TESTED" AND SHOWED MY HUSBAND WHAT HAPPENED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V373000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

THE CAR LIGHTS DO NOT WORK TURNED ON MANUALLY OR AUTOMATIC. WHEN IT FIRST STARTED IT WAS VERY INTERMITTENT, CURRENTLY IT'S ALMOST DAILY. I HAVE HAD IT TO 2 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS (BEFORE AND AFTER WARRANTY). BOTH TIMES I HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND I NEED TO BRING IT IN WHEN IT HAPPENS. MY RESPONSE "YOU ARE NOT OPEN WHEN IT HAPPENS, IT'S DARK". I HAVE ALSO HAD IT TO MY MECHANIC MULTIPLE TIMES AND GOT BLESS HIS SOLE HE FOUND THE PROBLEM THIS PAST WEEKEND. I DID NOT HAVE IT FIXED HE SAID IT WILL PROBABLY BE SOMEWHERE NEED 1200.00. HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A MAJOR DEFECT AND SHOULD BE FIXED VIA A RECALL. I DID LOOK THAT UP AND THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS BUT NO RECALL. MY SON CURRENTLY DRIVES THE CAR AND IS AWAY AT COLLEGE WHICH POSES ALL SORTS OF ISSUES. WE HAVE A SHORT TERM SOLUTION WE FIGURED OUT THAT IF YOU UNPLUG THE BATTERY AND PLUG IT BACK IN THE LIGHTS RESET, NOT VERY CONVENIENT. MY MECHANIC ALSO SUGGESTED REWIRING THE HIGH BEAMS TO THE REGULAR LIGHTS BUT THEN YOU WOULDN'T HAVE HIGH BEAMS.
