NHTSA Complaint #10650533 — 2010 DODGE JOURNEY

MY HUSBAND AND I PURCHASED A 2010 DODGE JOURNEY SE VIN#[XXX] IN YEAR 2010 IN CANADA, IN 2013 WE IMPORTED IT INTO US AND WE ARE LIVING IN MICHIGAN. DURING THE FIVE-YEAR OWNERSHIP, THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN CAUSING SAFETY PROBLEM MANY TIMES, THE ISSUE IS SUDDEN LOST OF ELECTRIC POWER FOR TURNING SIGNAL, WIPER MOTOR POWER, RADIO AND ALL DASHBOARD LIGHT, EXCEPT THE ENGINE RUNNING. THE FIRST TIME OF SUCH INCIDENT HAPPENED WITHIN 1 YEAR OF OWNERSHIP WHILE WE WERE AT TURNING SIGNAL, THE VEHICLE LOST TURNING SIGNAL CAUSED CONFUSION TO THE VEHICLE BEHIND AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT, AND SINCE THEN EVERY FEW MONTHS OR SO THIS INCIDENT HAPPENS, THE DEALER DID MULTIPLE REPAIR TO IT, BUT NEVER REALLY SOLVED THE PROBLEM. MANY TIMES THE DEALERS COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE WE REPORT. I RECENTLY EXPERIENCED TWICE OF SUCH INCIDENTS, ONE WAS DURING RAINING DAY AND THE WIPER LOST POWER I COULD NOT SEE AHEAD AND HAD TO STOP ON ROAD, THE MOST RESENT WAS YESTERDAY I LOST VENTILATION TO THE WINDOW AND COULD NOT SEE THROUGH THE WINDOW DUE TO MOISTURE ON WINDOW. I VIDEO TAPED THESE TWO INCIDENTS AND WOULD LIKE TO FORWARD TO YOU IF I CAN FIND A WAY TO ATTACH TO THIS COMPLAIN LETTER. THIS IS VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE CAN CAUSE FATAL ACCIDENTS, WE NEED YOUR HELP TO FORCE MANUFACTURE TO ADMIT THE ISSUE AND ADDRESS THE ISSUE IMMEDIATELY BEFORE FATAL ACCIDENT HAPPENS. THANK YOU!
