NHTSA Complaint #11265820 — 2015 DODGE JOURNEY

I PUT THE CATEGORY AS "UNKNOWN" BECAUSE I DONT KNOW WHAT EXACTLY IT FALLS UNDER BESIDES STUPIDITY. MY CAR BEGAN OVER HEATING LAST WEEK. THAT WAS FRUSTRATING ON TOP OF ALL OF THE OTHER PROBLEMS INCLUDING THE CONSTANT JERKING FROM THE CRAP ABS SYSTEM. I PUT RADIATOR FLUID IN AND 2 DAYS LATER, IT BEGAN SMOKING LIKE CRAZY. AT LEAST, WHAT I THOUGHT WAS SMOKE. APPARENTLY WHAT IT ACTUALLY WAS, WAS THE T SHAPED HOUSE THAT LEADS TO THE RADIATOR AND IS RUN RIGHT ALONG SIDE THE HEATING COIL IS MADE OF PLASTIC. THE HEATING COIL HAD MELTED A HOLE IN IT, CAUSING THE RADIATOR FLUID TO SPRAY ON EVERYTHING UNDER THE HOOD. WE GO AND FIX THAT, BY THE WAY, $80 FOR A 5 INCH PIECE OF HOSE IS INSANE, AND COME BACK, CAR WORKS FOR 2 DAYS AND DIES. BATTERY IS DEAD. TAKE THE BATTERY OFF AND GO REPLACE IT, GET IT ON THE CAR, START IT, BOOM, STARTER GOES OUT. ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER. I'M TAKING IT TO TRADE IN AND WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER DODGE. THERE WAS NO RISK IN THAT ANYWAY AFTER THE DEALERSHIP NEVER WANTING TO HONOR A SINGLE WARRANTY DETAIL EVEN THOUGH IT WAS SUPPOSEDLY "GROUND UP".
