Consumer Description
HORN BLEW INTERMITTENTLY AT FIRST WHEN SHUTTING DOORS, AND OCCASIONALLY FOR NO REASON. WINDOWS WOULD GO DOWN PART WAY WHEN DOORS WERE SHUT. IGNITION WOULD SOMETIMES JUST CLICK CLICK WHEN KEY IS TURNED, WIPERS WOULD MOVE WHEN NOT ENGAGED TO BE ON. BATTERY WOULD GO COMPLEXLY DEAD FOR NO REASON AND THEN BE OK FOR A MONTH OR TWO AND THEN DO IT AGAIN. HAD TO DISCONNECT THE HORN A FEW YEARS AGO AS IT WOULD NOT STOP GOING OFF. HAS BEEN IN TO KAYER CHRYSLER, DODGE SERVICE SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ISSUE. THEY JUST CALLED AND SAID THEY FOUNSD. SHORT IN THE MAIN ELECTRICAL COMPONENT AND IT WILL COST $1100PLUS FOR PART AND UP TO $200 TO INSTALL. WE HAVE HAD THESE ISSUES SINCE WE BOUGHT IT. OH YEH HEAT AND AIR ON PASSENGER SIDE QUIT WORKING A FEW WINTERS AGO, AND THE DOORS FILL WITH WATER IN EVERY RAIN STORM. PARK ON A HILL AFTER A RAIN AND DOORS WILL DRAIN FOR HOURS. WE HAVE FRIENDS THAT HAVE BOUGHT JOURNEYS AND SAY THEY HAVE NO PROBLEMS REALLY. CAN'T BELIEVE THERE S NOT A RECALL FOR SUCH A MESS. OH YES AND OCCASIONALLY IT WILL NOT SHIFT ALL GEARS AND I NEED TO PULL VER ON HIGHWAY, TURN OFF IGNITION AND RESTART AND IT USUALLY WORKS. WISH I WEREN'T RETIRED ON LIMITED INCOME, I WOULD GET RID OF IT BEFORE I GET KILLED. IYT ONLY HAS 1000,000 MILES. HOPEFULLY IT MATURES SOON,1
