NHTSA Complaint #10403623 — 2009 DODGE JOURNEY

AFTER RAINING THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR FILLS WITH WATER. WHEN I CLOSE THE DOOR I HEAR THE WATER SWISH AROUND INSIDE AND THEN I SEE IT DRAIN OUT OF THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME THAT I HAVE SEEN THIS HAPPEN IN AS MANY WEEKS. MY WIFE HAS ALSO NOTICED THE EXACT SAME THING BEFORE I DID. THE DOOR FILLS WITH WATER PRETTY MUCH EVERY TIME IT RAINS. IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS AT LEAST FILLING UP WITH SEVERAL CUPS OF WATER. I AM CONCERNED WITH MOLD GETTING INTO THE CAR AND ALSO THE PROBABILITY OF AN ELECTRICAL SHORT. THIS HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE TIME IT RAINS. IN ADDITION TO THE DOOR FILLING WITH WATER THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND THE REAR LEFT TIRE WILL SLOWLY DEFLATE. I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE TIRE REPLACED ONCE AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN IN A MATTER OF WEEKS. OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE SEEMS TO HAVE NO EFFECT ON WHEN THIS OCCURS BECAUSE IT HAPPEN DURING THE COLD AND WHEN IT IS HOT OUT. USUALLY THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING WILL COME ON WITHIN ONE WEEK OF FILLING THE TIRE. *TR
