NHTSA Complaint #11364583 — 2017 DODGE JOURNEY

WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, A RED BATTERY IMAGE DISPLAYED ON THE MENU CENTER SCREEN.NEXT DAY HAD IT CHECKED, WAS TOLD ALL WAS FINE,EVERYTHING CHECK OUT..A WEEK LATER WAS ON FREEWAYAGAIN,HEADLIGHTS FLICKED, RADIO WENT DEAD(DISPLAY &SOUND) TWICE, ENGINE BOGGED DOWN BRIEFLY. CAR IS IN SHOP NOW..TWO DAYS.AND NO ACCURATE DIAGNOSIS..THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A WELL-DOCUMENTED PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL OF VEHICLE..HAS THIS CAUSED DEATH? WILL IT LEAD TO DEATH, YES, IS THERE HELP FOR THE CONSUMERS?? I'M AWARE OF NUMEROUS ELECTRONICAL PROBLEMS WITH THESE AND OTHER DODGE VEHICLES. AS I HAVE OWNED ONE IN THE PAST WITH A SIMILAR PROBLEM. THAT COST ME THOUSANDS , AND COULD NOT BE FIXED, EVEN BY A TECH FROM CORPORATE OUT OF STATE..NOW WITH MY CURRENT SITUATION HOW CAN I BE CONFIDENT ON THE ROAD? ALSO WHY, WHEN THE DEALERSHIP KNOW(FOR A FACT) THEIR VEHICLES HAVE THESE ISSUES. THEY CHARGE A $180.00 DIAGNOSTIC FEE, THAT CAN NOT BE APPLIED TO REPAIR..UNFAIR AND CRIMINAL TO PUT VEHICLES ON THE ROAD THEY KNOW ARE FAULTY..FAULTY AS IN ELECTRONIC ISSUES THAT NO ONE CAN PINPOINT..AND IT APPEARS THAT IF THEY THROW ENOUGH PARTS AT IT, MAYBE THAT WILL WORK...THESE ISSUES MUST STOP!!
