Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, WITH MY DAUGHTER IN THE CAR, AND MY TRUCK COMPLETELY LOST POWER. I WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. IT WAS VERY SCARY AND MY LIFE AND MY DAUGHTER'S LIFE WERE IN JEOPARDY. THIS HAPPENS APPROXIMATELY ONE EVERY 3 WEEKS. TODAY, 11-25-2013, MY FIANCE WAS DRIVING AROUND A ROUNDABOUT, THE CAR DIED AND SHE WAS HIT LIGHTLY FROM BEHIND. ALSO, THE CONTROLS ON MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. THEY RARELY ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS CORRECTLY AND RIGHT NOW, THE BACK DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW IS DOWN. I HAD TO DUCT TAPE PLASTIC ON THE DOOR. I AM TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW TO TRY AND FIX THESE PROBLEMS. I JUST DON'T KNOW WHY THIS SERIES OF 2009 JOURNEYS WERE NOT RECALLED. WE ARE SCARED TO EVEN DRIVE THE JOURNEY ESPECIALLY BECAUSE OF THE LOST POWER ISSUE AND WITH REALLY NO MONEY TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED. *TR
