NHTSA Complaint #11324151 — 2015 DODGE JOURNEY

WHEN I LOOK AT THE MESSAGE BOARDS FOR THIS DODGE MAKE OF CAR THERE ARE ENDLESS MENTIONS OF THIS PROBLEM AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT PEOPLE ENDLESSLY SPENDING MONEY TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT DODGE KNOWS IS CAUSING THESE PROBLEMS. JUST BOUGHT MY SON THIS CAR AND 3 DAYS LATER THE CAR WILL NOT START IN THE MORNING. SETTING IN THE DRIVEWAY AT HOME. WAS ABLE TO JUMP THE VEHICLE TO GET IT STARTED ONLY IT TO NOT START AGAIN WHEN RETURNING FROM WORK 6 HOURS LATER PARKED IN A PARKING GARAGE. DROVE OUT THERE HAD TO JUMP VEHICLE AGAIN. BOUGHT NEW BATTERY AND REPLACED CAR DID THE SAME THING 8 HOURS LATER, USED BATTERY CHECKED GOOD AS WELL AS THE ALTERNATOR. GOT ONLINE AND FOUND ALL OF THESE SUGGESTIONS TO OVERRIDE A SAFETY FEATURE IN THE CAR THAT SEEMED TO WORK FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE BUT DID NOT WORK FOR US. PLEASE LOOK AT ALL THE ONLINE COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SITUATION AND MAKE DODGE FIX THIS PROBLEM, I TRAVEL EXTENSIVELY AND MY WIFE IS SICK WITH CANCER AND I'M NOT THERE NOR IS SHE ABLE TO HELP WITH GETTING THIS FIXED EVERY 8 HOURS TO 3 DAYS DEPENDING ON HOW LONG IT LASTS. *TR
