NHTSA Complaint #10500887 — 2010 DODGE JOURNEY

I HAVE HAD 2010 DODGE JOURNEY SINCE MAY 2012 AND NEEDED TO TAKE CAR TO DEALERLSHIP FOR ATLEAST 4 DIFFERENT ISSUES. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM THAT OCCURED ON FEBRUARY 28, 2013 HAS ME BEWILDERED AND VERY UNEASY ABOUT DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY AND EVER EVER PURCHASING A DODGE OR CHRYSLER VEHICLE AGAIN-AND THE U.S.A. WANTS US TO BUY AND SUPPORT AMERICAN MADE PRODUCTS. ON 02/28/12, I WAS RUSHING TO GET MY SON TO A MEETING AND WHEN WE GOT OUT OF CAR, LOCKED THE DOOR AND WENT IN BUILDING. WHEN WE RETURNED, PUT THE KEY IN IGNITION AND JUST CLICKING NOISE WITH EVERYTHING WORKING EXCEPT FOR THE CAR CRANKING. I WAITED ABOUT 30 MINUTES AND THEN TRIED TO CRANK BUT NO SUCH LUCK. IT WAS LATE IN THE EVENING, AND HERE I AM WITH MY BABIES IN THE CAR, ON A SCHOOL NIGHT, AND TRYING TO CALL A TOW. MY COUSIN DID COME OUT, WE ATTEMPTED JUMPER CABLES AND THEN WENT TO GET GAS AND IT STARTED. I WENT TO THE GAS STATION TO FILL UP JUST IN CASE, IGNITION STILL ON AND THE CAR CUTS OFF AND DOESNT RESTART. I CONTACTED A TOW AGAIN AND AN HOUR AND HALF LATER WHEN TOW ARRIVED; IT CRANKED FOR THE TOW DRIVER. ONCE I GOT HOME AND PARKED, THE CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN. WHEN MY HUSBAND GOT HOME ABOUT 4HOURS LATER, IT STILL WOULD NOT CRANK. ON 3/1/13 ATTEMPTED TO TAKE KIDS TO SCHOOL AND CAR WOULD NOT START. IT DID FINALLY CRANK AFTER IT WAS TOO LATE AND WE TOOK TO A LICENSED MECHANIC TO COMPLETE A DIAGNOSTIC. HE KEPT ALL DAY TESTING AND TO NO AVAIL, NO CODES OR PROBLEMS APPEARED. IT DID CRANK BUT I'M VERY FEARFUL OF DRIVING THE CAR NOW WITH MY FAMILY. I CONTACTED SEVERAL DODGE DEALERSHIPS, DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND DODGE TECHAUTHORITY AND NO ONE SEEMED TO KNOW OR HAVE HEARD OF THE PROBLEM IM HAVING. *TR
