NHTSA Complaint #10629092 — 2010 DODGE JOURNEY AWD

OUR VEHICLE WORKED FINE AFTER PURCHASE UP UNTIL SOMETIME IN APRIL. THEN OUR HORN STARTED HONKING UNCONTROLLABLY FOR NO REASON. NOTHING I DID WOULD SHUT IT OFF SO I ENDED UP TAKING OUT THE FUSES UNTIL WE COULD GET IT FIXED. EVENTUALLY OUR BATTERY DIED FOR SEEMINGLY NO REASON AND WE HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED AS WELL AS TRY AND GET THE HORN FIXED. ORIGINALLY THE DEALERSHIP THOUGHT IT WAS ALL THE CAUSE OF THE BATTERY DYING BUT EVENTUALLY CONCEDED THAT IT WAS A WIRING PROBLEM. WE TOOK IT TO GET THAT FIXED AND WERE WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR A MONTH. WHEN THEY FINALLY FIXED AND RETURNED IT WAS FINE FOR ABOUT A WEEK BUT THEN THE HORN STARTED HONKING FOR NO REASON AGAIN. BY THE TIME THE TOW TRUCK GOT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IT HAD STOPPED AND THE MECHANICS COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE, HOWEVER NOW IT HAS STARTED AGAIN. I THEN HEARD ABOUT THE TIPM ISSUE WITH THE CHRYSLER MODELS AND IT SOUNDS AS THOUGH MY VEHICLE MAY BE SHOWING SIGNS OF THE SAME ISSUE. I WAS ADVISED TO MAKE A REPORT HERE. ANY INFORMATION ON HOW AND WHEN THIS WILL BE RECTIFIED WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR
