2010 DODGE JOURNEY Complaints

I HAVE A 10 DODGE JOURNEY AWD R/T , I AM ALSO A ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC. MY WIFE DRIVES THIS THING EASY.. NO MATTER WHAT BRAND OF ROTORS OR PADS I USE THE PROBLEM COMES BACK.. THE PROBLEM I SEE IS, THE BRAKES ARE NOT UP TO PAR, BASICALLY TO SMALL FOR THIS VEHICLE.. THE ROTORS SHOULD HAVE BEEN AT LEAST 1 TO 1.5 INCHES LARGER IN DIA.

VEHICLE STARTS HONKING ON ITS OWN FOR SHORT PERIODS OF TIME. SOMETIMES JUST PARKED ON THE DRIVEWAY, AND NOW SOME TIMES AS IT IS MOVING. IT WILL STOP FOR HOURS OR DAYS AT A TIME, AND THEN REOCCUR.

THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAYS ON FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME WHEN I START AND AFTER SHUTTING DOWN THE SUV. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS GO OUT ABOUT 15 MINUTES OR SO AFTER TURNING THE SUV OFF. ONCE I START THE SUV AND DRIVE, THE INTERIOR LIGHT REMAINS ON IN THE FRONT & UPPER REAR OVERHEAD. THE ELECTRONIC KEY IS NOW LOCKING MY DOORS JUST FROM TOUCHING THE TOP OF THE KEY. THERE ARE TIMES, I'M NOT HITTING THE BUTTON TO LOCK, BUT JUST FROM TOUCHING THE TOP OF THE KEY WITH MY FINGER, THE DOORS WILL AUTOMATICALLY LOCK.SCARY!!!

I WAS DRIVING AT THE SPEED LIMIT ON INTERSTATE 5, (CALIFORNIA) WHEN A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME SWERVED PARTIALLY INTO MY LANE. IN ORDER TO AVOID HITTING SAID VEHICLE, I SWERVED TO THE RIGHT SLIGHTLY, AT THAT TIME I BELIEVE ENGINE DIED, AS I HAD NO CONTROL OVER SAID VEHICLE I COULD NOT STEER OR MANEUVER MY VEHICLE AT ALL. THUS IT WAS CONTINUING ON THE PATH OF THE SWERVE AND HIT THE WALL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. I AT NO TIME HAD ANY CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE, THE CAR STARTED SPINNING FROM THE IMPACT OF THE WALL AND SENT ME ACROSS 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC AND I WAS HIT BY 2 CARS. THE ONLY AIRBAG THAT DEPLOYED WAS THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. (THERE WAS NO PASSENGER IN THAT POSITION.) I WAS IN THE DRIVER SEAT, AND MY SON (WAS 9 YEARS OF AGE AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT) WAS SITTING DIRECTLY BEHIND ME. WHEN THE CAR STOPPED, I WAS UNABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION, IT WAS LOCKED IN PLACE. ORIGINALLY, I BELIEVED THAT THERE WERE NO MAJOR INJURIES, ONLY BUMPS, BRUISES AND THE LIKE. HOWEVER IN THE MONTHS SINCE THE INCIDENT, IT HAS COME TO LIGHT THAT I HAVE TORN MUSCLES IN 1, MAYBE BOTH ELBOWS. I AM CURRENTLY UNDER A DOCTORS CARE, AND WILL BE REQUIRING SURGERY TO RECONSTRUCT THE MUSCLES AND TENDONS.
