Consumer Description

I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY 2009 DODGE JOURNEY. I ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS TRYING TO TURN IT ON SOMETIMES. I BELIEVE IT MIGHT BE THE KEY OR IGNITION. I BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY THINKING MY OLD ONE WAS DEAD AND IT ALSO STARTED GREAT FOR A FEW WEEKS AND THEN IT STARTED DOING IT AGAIN. SOMETIMES I TURN THE KEY AROUND AND IT TURNS ON FINE AND SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT. IT IS FRUSTRATING BECAUSE SOMETIMES IT DOES IT WHEN I AM AWAY FROM HOME. I AM ALSO HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY FRONT BRAKES OR SUSPENSION BECAUSE WHEN I PRESS ON THE BRAKES MY STEERING WHEEL STARTS TO SHAKE. I HAD MY BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS CHECKED AND THEY ARE GOOD. I JUST DO NOT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO BECAUSE EVERY TRIP TO THE MECHANIC COSTS MONEY. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE! *TR
