NHTSA Complaint #11406167 — 2008 DODGE JOURNEY

WE WERE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND SUDDENLY THE ELECTRICAL WENT CRAZY. THE HORN STARTED GOING OFF REPEATEDLY, THE WIPERS TURNED ON AND WOULDN'T SHUT OFF, THE WIPER FLUID KEPT SPRAYING, THE BLINKER LIGHTS KEPT BLINKING, AND IT CONTINUED EVEN AFTER WE TURNED OFF THE CAR. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AND COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING BECAUSE OF THE WINDSHIELD FLUID'S CONSTANT SPRAYING AND COULD HAVE EASILY GOTTEN INTO A WRECK IF THERE WERE OTHER CARS AROUND. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT WAS TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. IF I HAD BEEN ON THE FREEWAY, IT COULD HAVE ENDED VERY BADLY. IT WAS MOST LIKELY A FAULTY TIPM AFTER RESEARCHING AND FINDING MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THIS HAS BEEN RECALLED ON OTHERS VEHICLES BUT NOT ON THIS SPECIFIC MODEL, WHICH I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY THAT IS THE CASE, SINCE IT SEEMS TO BE JUST AS DANGEROUS IN OUR MODEL AS THE ONES THEY RECALLED.
