NHTSA Complaint #11367071 — 2015 DODGE JOURNEY

AFTER A HEAVY RAIN AND SUBSEQUENT RAINS, THERE WAS A HEAVY LEAK DOWN THE INTERIOR WALL BETWEEN THE FRONT SEAT AND THE BACK SEAT, FLOODING UNDER THE FRONT SEAT, DRIVER-SIDE FRONT SEAT, AND DRIVER-SIDE BACK SEAT FLOOR UNDER THE CARPET. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENED, THE CAR WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY WITH THE WINDOWS UP. ALSO, SINCE THEN, THE DOOR LOCKS HAVE STARTED TO LOCK AND UNLOCK SEVERAL TIMES ON THEIR OWN AFTER I'VE LOCKED THE VEHICLE AND WALKED AWAY FROM IT. THE LEAK SEEMS TO BE IN THE ROOF SEAM IN THE DRIVER SIDE, WHICH SEEMS TO BE FAULTY. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY NEEDED MONEY UP-FRONT TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM, WHICH I REFUSE TO PAY BECAUSE I BELIEVE IT IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. I CONTACTED DODGE THREE TIMES, THEY SAID SINCE THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY EVEN THOUGH IT IS A DEFECT.
