Consumer Description

MY CAR IS CONSTANTLY UNABLE TO START IM BEING TOLD DUE TO ELECTRICAL ISSUES. IVE REPLACED THE STARTER, BATTERY, & ALTERNATOR. THERE ARE ALL KINDS OF FORUMS TELLING YOU WAYS AROUND GETTING THE CAR TO START BUT NO REAL FIXES. SOME PEOPLE SPENDING HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS TRYING TO FIX THIS ISSUE BY REPLACING FUSE BOXES, ADDING CABLES, REPLACING THE ENTIRE COMPUTER SYSTEM AND MORE TO NO AVAIL. WHILE OTHERS JUST PARK THE CAR UNTIL ITS PAID OFF OR SELL IT. ITS NOT FAIR AND ITS INCONVENIENT. DODGE JOURNEYS 2009+ ARE ALL EXPERIENCING THESE ISSUES.
