NHTSA Complaint #11172054 — 2012 DODGE JOURNEY

OUR BACK-UP CAMERA GOES DARK FREQUENTLY OR FLIPS UPSIDE DOWN WHILE BACKING UP AND WE ALMOST HIT A CHILDT THAT RAN BEHIND US SUDDENLY. ALSO, THE VEHICLE WON'T SHIFT INTO LOW GEAR WHEN IN AUTOMATIC AND GOING UP HILLS, BUT SHIFTS IN MANUAL,AND IT SUDDENLY JUST SLOWS DOWN WHILE IN DRIVE, WHICH HAS CAUSED US TO ALMOST GET REAR-ENDED SEVERAL TIMES. FINALLY, OUR TIRE SENSORS SHOW LOW PRESSURE, BUT WHEN WE REPLACED THEM ALL THE TIRE SYMBOL STILL SHOWED UP. BECAUSE OUR ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, WE TOOK IT IN FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. WE WERE TOLD THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT WE NEED A SOFTWARE UPDATE THAT WOULD CORRECT ALL THESE PROBLEMS. WE WERE TOLD WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT, BUT IT SEEMS IT SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY ISSUES.
