WOW!!!!!!!!!! IS ALL I CAN SAY, I CAN'T BELIEVE THE AMOUNT OF PROBLEMS THIS CAR HAS. WITH THAT BEING SAID I'M HOPING THAT SINCE I FINANCED THIS VEHICLE, THAT THE FINANCE COMPANY WILL HELP ME BECAUSE THIS DEALERSHIP "CLEARLY" SOLD ME A LEMON AND I'M SURE THEY KNOW IT IS. EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL IN MY 2012 JOURNEY STARTED SURGING TO THE POINT WHERE I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING DIE ON ME WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY HERE ON VANCOUVER ISLAND B.C. CANADA. I'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE PUSH BUTTON START ( SOMETIMES 4 ATTEMPTS TO START IT ARE NEEDED ) . I REALLY LOVE THE VEHICLE WITH THE COST TO REPAIR MODERN DAYS CARS, I THINK I WANT TO FIND A WAY TO RETURN IT ( IT'S ONLY BEEN 5 MONTHS SINCE I'VE HAD IT ) . THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT'S PROBABLY THE BATTERY AND OFFERED TO REPLACE IT SO ON THE 27TH OF THIS MONTH, I WILL TAKE IT TO THE DEALERS AND TRY TO RETURN IT ALL TOGETHER. NONE OF US SHOULD BE HAVING ISSUES LIKE THIS AND I'M REALLY DISAPPOINTED WITH DODGE AND HOW THEY'RE "NOT" DOING MUCH TO HELP ANYONE. SADLY THESE VEHICLES ARE "LEMONS" AND SHOULD ALL BE RECALLED AND JUNKED IMO. SORRY TO HEAR SO MANY OTHER'S HAVE PROBLEMS TOO , JUST KEEP YOUR ROADSIDE ASSIST UP TO DATE LOL CAUSE I FEEL WE'RE "ALL" GOING TO NEED IT EVENTUALLY AND WHO WANTS TO BE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE.

WHILE NORMAL DRIVING ON HIGHWAY , MY [ ABS ) LIGHT AND THE SQUIGGLY CAR LIGHT COMES ON . THEN AFTER AWHILE OR SHUTTING CAR OFF AND RESTARTING THE ENGINE , THE LIGHTS GO OFF . THEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN FREQUENTLY ON A DAILY BASIS .

"TAKATA RECALL" THE POWER STEERING CONTINUES TO LEAK EVEN AFTER SEVERAL REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE.

THE PLASTIC BUSHING THAT CONNECTS THE SHIFT LINKAGE TO TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY CRUMBLED CAUSING CAR TO NOT SHIFT AT ALL. CAR ONLY HAS 57000 MILES. THIS IN TURN CAUSED CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON AND READ CODE FOR THE TCM (TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE) WHICH IN TURN CAUSED THE CAR TO RUN IN LIMP MODE FOR THE DAYS. MAJOR LOSS OF POWER! AFTER THREE DAYS CODE FINALLY CLEARED. THIS ALL HAPPENED WHILE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN AT A LUCKILY SLOW SPEED IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR LOSES POWER AND SLOWS DOWN, THE ENGINE IS RUNNING ROUGH AND WHEN PULLED OVER THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE AT ALL. THE SHIFTER WILL MOVE THROUGH THE GEARS HOWEVER THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE(AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTING THE CAR RUNS NORMAL UNTIL THE NEXT EPISODE( OCCURRED THE LAST 3 TIMES CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN). THIS IS HAZARDOUS ESPECIALLY IN TRAFFIC. CURRENTLY SETTING UP APPOINTMENT WITH DODGE DEALERSHIP TO ADDRESS PROBLEM HOWEVER NO CAUTION LIGHT IS APPEARING ON THE DASH. THIS MALFUNCTION HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED ON HIGHWAY OR CITY STREET.
