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.

HORNS SOUND RANDOMLY. ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. BATTERY DRAINS OVERNIGHT DESPITE TESTS THAT CONCLUDE BATTERY & CHARGING SYSTEM ARE OK.

HORN HONKS ON ITS OWN AT RANDOM TIMES. WINDOWS GO UP AND DOWN ON THEIR OWN. ELECTRICAL PANEL BLINKS BY ITSELF. INGINE HAS SHIRT OFF BY ITSELF. PROBLEM HAS BEEN TRYING TO BE SOLVED BY DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPAR :( ENT FOR ALMOST AN ENTIRE MONTH WITH ZERO PROGRESS. TPIM WAS UPDATED, KEY FOBS REPLACED TWICE, BATTERY REPLACED TWICE, CLICK SPRING REPLACED AND NOW WAITING ON INSTRUMENT CLUSTER SO IT CAN BE REPLACED.

I BROUGHT MY 2010 DODGE JOURNEY IN 2012, ABOUT A YEAR LATER, THE CARE STARTED TO STALL WHEN ON STARTING. NATURALLY, WE THOUGHT IS WAS THE BATTERY, SO WENT TO THE DODGE DEALER AND THEY AGREED. TWO WEEK LATER, THE CARE WOULD NOT START AFTER MY SONS BASEBALL CAME. SOMEONE GAVE ME A JUMP, SO I THOUGHT THAT I GOT A BAD BATTERY. TOWED CAR TO SHOP AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE STARTER WAS BAD. SO APPROXIMATELY. $250.00 LATER I HAVE A NEW BATTERY. THE CARE CONTINUES TO NOT START. THE DODGE JOURNEY IS THE MOST UNRELIABLE CAR I HAVE EVERY HAD. IT IS NOW SITTING IN MY GARAGE, BECAUSE I WAS DRIVING AND THE CAR RAN HOT AND WILL NOT GO MORE THAN 30 MILES PER HOUR. I HAVE A CAR NOT AND CANNOT AFFORD TO GET FIXED. I AM TOLD THAT SOMETHING MAY BE WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION, BUT ONLY DEALER CAN WORK ON THIS SINCE THE TRANSMISSION IS BURIED UNDER EVERYTHING. I AM FRUSTRATED AND BROKE AND STILL HAVING TO PAY A CARE NOTE!

MY COMPLAINT IS REGARDING SAFETY RECALL # R03 / NHTSA 14V-373 THIS IS A FCA, FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES RECALL FOR WIRELESS IGNITION NODE MODULE AND IS THE SECOND SUCH RECALL COVERING THE SAME ISSUE ON MY 2010 DODGE JOURNEY. MY ISSUE: I HAVE THE RECALL PAPERWORK AND FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THE WORK DONE. MY CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN GREENWOOD, IN , TOM O'BRIEN, ADVISES ME THAT CHRYSLER HAS CANCELED THE PARTS THAT WERE ON ORDER BASED ON THE RECALL. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME CHRYSLER HAS CANCELED THE REPAIR PARTS NEEDED FOR THE RECALL. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE THIS ISSUE CAN POTENTIALLY SHUT OFF THE ENGINE WHILE IN OPERATION AND I DRIVE EXTENSIVELY FOR MY JOB. PLEASE ADVISE AND PROVIDE ANY HELP YOU CAN TO EXPLAIN WHY CHRYSLER IS ALLOWED TO CANCEL THE PARTS NEEDED BY THE DEALERSHIP TO EFFECT MY RECALL REPAIR. IT SEEMS TO ME THEY ARE JUST APPEASING NHTSA BY HAVING THE RECALL THEN NOT FOLLOWING THROUGH, CANCELING THE ACTUAL PARTS--FRUSTRATING THE VEHICLE OWNERS AND THE DEALERSHIPS. THIS RECALL ISSUE COULD POTENTIALLY COST LIVES AND CHRYSLER IS BEING ALLOWED TO CANCEL THE REPAIR PARTS ORDERS PLACED BY THE DEALERSHIPS? I HAVE THE RECALL DOCUMENTS IN HAND AND CAN'T GET MY VEHICLE REPAIRED. WHAT CAN I DO, WHAT CAN NHTSA DO FOR ME? URGENTLY REQUEST ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER.

I CANT LIST THE EXACT DATE OF ALL THE INCIDENTS THAT HAVE HAPPEN BUT THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY OF THEM OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS THAT ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP TRACK OF. MY FIRST ISSUE WAS THREE YEARS AGO WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR IT WOULD CLICK BUT NOT TURN OVER EVERYTHING WORKED SO WE KNEW IT WASN'T THE BATTERY. I WOULD HAVE TO REMOVE THE KEY AND SIT FOR SOMETIMES UP TO 10 MINUTES BEFORE THE CAR WOULD TURN OVER. AT THIS TIME THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND AT THE SAME TIME WE STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH THE PASSENGER WINDOW NOT ROLLING DOWN OR UP WITH THE BUTTON ON THE PASSENGER DOOR. DRIVER SIDE COULD ROLL THE WINDOW UP. WE TOOK IT IN AND UNFORTUNATELY BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T MIMIC THE PROBLEMS WE WERE HAVING THE TOLD US THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND SAID BRING IT BACK WHEN WE HAVE THE ISSUE AGAIN. SERIOUSLY HOW CAN I BRING YOU THE CAR WHEN IT WONT START. ON TO THE NEXT PROBLEM LAST OCTOBER DRIVING HOME ON THE FREEWAY GOING 60 MILES AND HOUR AT NIGHT MIGHT I ADD AND MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STARTS TO FAIL LIGHTS TURN OFF RADIO TURNS OFF AND THEN IMMEDIATELY TURNS BACK ON THANKFULLY I WAS ALMOST HOME SO MY HUSBAND LOOKED AT IT AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND IT HASN'T HAPPENED SINCE THANKFULLY BUT NOW WE ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH OUR RADIO TWO DAYS AGO IT STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. FIRST TIME MY HUSBAND GOGGLE THE PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY FOR AN HOUR AND THEN RECONNECT. THIS TOOK CARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT THIS TIME AROUND IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE WORKING. SO KNOW I HAVE TO TAKE MY CAR IN TO HAVE THIS DIAGNOSED AGAIN. I WONT EVEN BEGIN TO TALK ABOUT THE CLICKING THAT COMES FROM BEHIND THE GLOVE BOX WHEN I TURN THE AC OR HEAT ON SOUNDS LIKE MY CAR IS GOING TO BLOW UP. I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR 5 YEARS BRAND NEW OFF THE LOT AND IT ONLY HAS 55,000 MILES ON IT HAS BEEN REGULARLY MAINTAINED SO THEIR SHOULD NOT BE THIS MANY ISSUES.
