2010 DODGE JOURNEY Complaints

MY WIFE DROVE TO OUR GRANDSON'S BASEBALL GAME WHICH IS 1/2 MILE FROM OUR HOME. WHEN SHE PARKED THE VEHICLE AND TURNED IT OFF THE WINDOWS STARTED GOING UP/DOWN BY THEIR SELF AND THE HAZARD LIGHTS CAME ON. SHE TURNED THE KEY ON AND OFF A FEW TIMES TO TRY TO GET THE PROBLEM FIX. SHE THEN JUST LET IT SET AND IT STOP IN ABOUT 5 MINUTES. A WOMAN AT THE BALL FIELD SEEN WHAT MY JOURNEY WAS DOING AND STATED THE SHE WAS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HERS

DROVE 1/2 MILE HOME, PARKED IN GARAGE, WALKED AROUND CAR TO GET OUT OF GARAGE, FELT EXTREME HEAT FROM REAR PASSENGER WHEEL. BRAKE DISC WAS GLOWING RED. PULLED CAR OUT OF GARAGE, TOWED TO PERFORMANCE DODGE (WHERE PURCHASED BRAND NEW) BRAKE CALIPER HAD LOCKED UP. HAD ALL REPLACED. THIS IS THE SAME CAR I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT NOT STARTING, BRIGHT LIGHTS COMING ON BY THEMSELVES. I HAVE HAD IT TOWED, WAITED FOR AN HOUR FOR IT START, PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY IN TEARS BECAUSE THE "STROBE LIGHT EFFECT" WHEN THE BRIGHT LIGHTS(HIGH BEAMS) ACT UP. I HAVE HAD THE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR REPLACED IN AUG 2012, RECALL L25 TRIM RING-IGNITION KEY CYLINDER DONE, I PAID TO HAVE THE WIRELESS IGNITION NODE MODULE REPLACED ON JANUARY 6, 2015 AT PERFORMANCE DODGE DEALERSHIP IN LINCOLN NEBRASKA (THOUGHT WOULD FIX STARTING ISSUE-DID NOT HELP) PAID TO HAVE REAR BRAKES REPLACED, PAID FOR RENTAL VEHICLE. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO DODGE CORP. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO PERFORMANCE DODGE DEALERSHIP. NOW I GET THE RECALL FOR THE WIN MODULE AND WILL HAVE TO FIGHT TO BE REIMBURSED. I HAVE THE ORIGINAL PAPERS AND INVOICE FROM PERFORMANCE DODGE. ANY CHANCE OF BEING REIMBURSED FOR A PIECE OF JUNK CAR, RENTAL CARS AND THE LIKE?????

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 5:30 AM WITH HEADLIGHTS ON. BRIGHT LIGHTS (HIGH BEAMS) CAME ON BY THEMSELVES. WOULD NOT TURN OFF. THEN WOULD FLICKER OFF AND ON. HEAD LIGHTS STAY ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE, PERFORMANCE DODGE (DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED BRAND NEW) SAID THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THAT. CHECKED FOR CODES, FOUND NONE. BRIGHT BEAMS HAVE COME ON IN DAYLIGHT WITH NO HEADLIGHTS ON. THIS IS THE SAME CAR I COMPLAINED ABOUT NOT STARTING. STILL HAVE THAT ISSUE, LAST TIME WAS IN FEB 2015. PERFORMANCE DODGE ( WHERE I PURCHASED CAR BRAND NEW) TOLD ME TO CALL A TOW TRUCK FOR A JUMP START. I TOLD THEM THIS WAS THE SAME PROBLEM OVER AND OVER AND THEY WERE AWARE OF IT, IT WASN'T A POWER ISSUE. THIS LAST TIME IN FEB. 2015, THE TOW DRIVER SAID THAT IT WASN'T A POWER ISSUE. HE HAD HIS PARTNER TURN THE IGNITION WHILE HE BARELY TOUCHED A WIRE BUNDLE UNDER THE HOOD. CAR STARTED RIGHT UP. DODGE STILL SAID NO CODES.

CAR WOULD NOT START. EVERYTHING WORKED (RADIO, WINDOWS ETC) DID NOT EVEN MAKE A SOUND LIKE IT WANTED TO START. I CALLED PERFORMANCE DODGE WHERE PURCHASED, THEY TOLD ME TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THEM. I TRIED FOR OVER ONE HOUR TO START CAR. IT FINALLY STARTED. TOOK IT TO NEAREST REPAIR SHOP, TESTED AND FOUND NO CODES. TOOK IT TO PERFORMANCE DODGE, FOUND NO CODES.

ESP BAS ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. STOPPED, TURNED CAR OFF AND WAITED 5 MINUTES. NO LIGHTS CAME BACK ON, CAR RAN FINE.

MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND THE HORN BEEP ONCE. A FEW HOURS LATER I WENT BEEPED AGAIN. THE NEXT DAY IT STARTED BEEPING CONTINUALLY, AND I HAD TO REMOVE THE FUSE TO STOP THE HORN FROM BLOWING. I REPLACE THE FUSE AND HAD NO PROBLEMS FOR ABOUT A MONTH. THEN WHILE ON VACATION IN MYRTLE BEACH THE HORN STARTED BLOWING NO STOP. I HAD TO REMOVE THE FUSE AGAIN. WHEN I REPLACED IT THE HORN STARTED BLOWING AGAIN. I HAVE SINCE REMOVED THE FUSED AND TRIED DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY. THE HORN STILL CONTINUES TO BLOW NON-STOP.
