NHTSA Complaint #10430430 — 2010 DODGE JOURNEY

MY DODGE WAS PURCHASED AND ORIGINALLY HAD A RADIO CONNECTION PROBLEM. WHERE IT PLAYED STATIC WHILE PLAYING A CD AS WELL AS THE SPEAKERS SOUNDED BLOWN OUT. SINCE HE RADIO HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES AND STILL SEEMS TO REMAIN THE SAME. I HAVE HAD THE ALIGNMENT DONE 4 TIMES SINCE MAY 2011 AND THE PROBLEM REMAINS.THE AC HAS A DELAY WHEN TURNED ON. BUT MY BIGGER PROBLEM IS WHEN I FELT MY CAR SHUDDER WHILE PULLING AWAY FROM THE CURB. IT SERIOUSLY FELT AS THOUGH THE WHEELS WERE GOING TO FALL RIGHT OFF AND OUT FROM UNDER THE CAR. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPORTED NO PROBLEM ALTHOUGH WHEN WE TEST DROVE THE CAR THE ! LIGHT IN THE DASH CAME ON. SO THEY HAD ME WAIT ABOUT 20 ADDITIONAL MINUTES TO FIX THE ISSUE. SINCE I HAVE GOTTEN MY CAR BACK IT NOW SHUTS COMPLETELY OFF WHEN I COME TO A STOP. I AM FREAKED OUT AND DEVASTATED BY MY OVERWHELMING CONCERN FOR MY 5YR SON AND MYSELF. I JUST AM CURRENTLY NOT FEELING THE "DEPENDABLE DODGE" STATEMENT. HOPEFULLY DODGE RECOGNIZES THAT THIS IS HAPPENING OFTEN AND FIXES IT BEFORE A DEATH OCCURS. SIMPLY IS IT A DANGER TO OUR SELF AND THE COMMUNITY TO DRIVE AROUND IN CARS THAT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY. *TR
