Consumer Description

THE A/C CONTROL HEAD NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ONLY BECAUSE THE FAN KNOB IS NOT WORKING. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR 15 MONTHS AGO AND NOT HAPPY TO BE MAKING A 400-500 DOLLAR REPAIR SO SOON. MY RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE A/C CONTROL HEAD AND WHEN I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP HE SAID ITS HIS MOST COMMON REPAIR. I CALLED DODGE AND ASKED WHY THIS WAS NOT BEING RECALLED. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO BE THROWING DOWN ON REPAIRS LIKE THIS. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR MY SON'S ASTHMA AND WOULDN'T THIS BE THE FIRST THING TO BREAK. JUST MY LUCK. I THINK THAT THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND RECALLED. THE SAME WITH THE BREAKS, THEY ARE NOT GOOD, AND THE CAR JUST BURNS RIGHT THROUGH THEM. I AM NOT HAPPY WITH MY DODGE JOURNEY. *TR
