2009 DODGE JOURNEY AWD Wheels Problems

MY DODGE JOURNEY WILL NOT ALWAYS START IT WILL JUST CLICK THEN AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS IT WILL START. MY DRIVERS SIDE DOOR THE POWER WINDOW DOES NOT WORK IT JUST STOPPED WORKING. NOW MY GEAR SHIFT DOES NOT WANT TO SHIFT INTO GEAR, START THE CAR UP THE CAS TRACTION LIGHT IS ON AND THE GEAR WILL BE STUCK. SO I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF SEVERAL TIMES THEN I AM ABLE TO MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT. IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING TO GET IN YOUR CAR AND YOU CANNOT EITHER START IT OR IT JUST DO NOT MOVE .

TIRES WORE DOWN AT AN ALARMING RATE AT JUST UNDER 100 MILES AND BRAKE PADS ALSO. DOESN'T START AT SOME TIMES..JUST A CLICK...TURNS OFF FOR NO REASON...WHEN IN PARK IT ACTS LIKE IT WANTS TO MOVE FORWARD ...CANNOT KEEP AN ALIGNMENT

LOW TIRE INDICATOR AS SOON AS I STARTED MY CAR. THEN THE CHANGE OIL INDICATOR FLASHED. I HAD JUST HAD AN OIL CHANGE AND ALL TIRES HAVE ACCURATE PRESSURE. SOMETIMES MY CAR WON'T START WHEN I TURN THE KEY BUT THE LIGHTS AND RADIO WILL WORK. THE SHIFTER PANEL GETS HOT SOMETIMES. THE WIPERS WILL MOVE UP A COUPLE OF INCHES WHEN I USE MY UNLOCK BUTTON ON MY KEY. MY DASH LIGHTS WILL FADE AND THEN COME BACK TO THE BRIGHTNESS I HAVE IT SET AT JUST RANDOMLY WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STARTED, DRIVING OR SITTING STILL. SOUNDS LIKE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. LOTS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THINGS OCCURRING, YET NO RECALLS AND THINGS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

FOR A WHILE NOW, RANDOMLY MY JOURNEY WILL GET STUCK IN 2ND OR 3RD GEAR AFTER TAKING OFF. I WILL HAVE TO STOP, PUT IT IN PARK, SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTART IT FOR IT TO RESET ITSELF. THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES, BUT I'VE HAVE A COMPLETE NEW SET OF BRAKES PUT ON IT, ROTORS AND NEW CALIPERS IN THE FRONT. THE BRAKES ALSO MAKE A KNOCKING SOUND. I ALSO GOT A COMPLETE SET OF TIRES AND THEY SEEM TO BE WEARING QUICKER THAN NORMAL. I HAVE HAD 3 DIFFERENT SHOPS LOOK AT THE BREAKS FOR A DIAGNOSES AND ALL OF THEM SAY THAT THE RIGHT PARTS ON IT AND THEY DON'T SEE AND REASON FOR THE NOISES. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AND THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE INDICATOR CAME ON. I PULLED OVER TO A PARKING LOT AND PROCEEDED TO ADD AIR TO THE TIRE USING AN AIR PUMP. AFTER FILLING THE TIRE WITH AIR AND ATTEMPTING TO DISLODGE THE AIR PUMP HOSE. THE END OF THE TIRE STEM BROKE OFF INSIDE OF THE TIRE PRESSURE GAUGE CAUSING THE TIRE TO DEFLATE COMPLETELY. I NOTICED THAT THE TIRE STEM LOOKED CORRODED, AND I IMMEDIATELY GOOGLED THE PROBLEM WITH THIS TIRE STEM AND LEARNED THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS WHERE THE TIRE STEMS ON THE VEHICLE CORRODE (WHICH MINE DID EXACTLY) AND THEN BREAK OFF WHILE MOST ARE DRIVING. IN ADDITION TO THIS PROBLEM THE VEHICLE ANTIFREEZE RESERVOIR'S CRACK CAUSING THE ANTIFREEZE TO LEAK OUT ON A CONSTANT BASIS. THIS TOO IS A ITEM WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED LONG AGO. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION...

OWNER OF A 2009 DODGE JOURNEY SXT AWD WITH KUMHO SOLUS KH16 TIRE 225/55R19 SIZE STOCK TIRES. AFTER EXPERIENCING COMPLETE RIGHT FRONT TIRE FAILURE WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH ON A PAVED TWO-LANE HIGHWAY, OWNER INSTALLED THE TEMPORARY SPARE TIRE. THE VEHICLE'S AWD LIGHT IMMEDIATELY ILLUMINATED. OWNER CEASED OPERATING THE VEHICLE AND OBTAINED THE SERVICES OF A TOW COMPANY. APPARENTLY, THIS VEHICLE CANNOT BE DRIVEN WITH THE SPARE TIRE SUPPLIED BY THE MANUFACTURER AS THE AWD! LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE OWNER'S MANUAL STATES THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE SERVICED RIGHT AWAY WHEN THE AWD! LIGHT ILLUMINATES. THERE IS NO CAVEAT STATEMENT REGARDING DRIVING TO A CLOSE LOCATION FOR LIMITED MILEAGE. MOREOVER, THE MANUAL STATES THE PTO UNIT (AKA AWD! UNIT) WILL BE DAMAGED IF THE CAR IS DRIVEN WITH THE AWD! LIGHT ILLUMINATED. DRIVING WITH THE SUPPLIED TEMPORARY SPARE CAUSED THE AWD! LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. ADDITIONALLY, IF THE CAR IS DRIVEN WITH...

I AM A LICENSED COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA CERTIFIED STATE INSPECTION MECHANIC. I JUST ENCOUNTERED A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH A CUSTOMERS 2009 DODGE JOURNEY AWD VEHICLE TODAY, JULY 14, 2012. I WANTED TO BRING THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE PROPER AUTHORITY, WITH THE HOPE THAT THIS COULD BE INVESTIGATED IN DETAIL TO PREVENT A POTENTIAL FATALITY OR A NUMBER OF THEM.TODAY A REGULAR CUSTOMER OF MINE, ARRIVED AT MY FACILITY WITH A FLAT TIRE, AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION; I NOTICED THE VALVE STEM WAS MISSING ( ON THE 2009 JOURNEY AND MANY NEW VEHICLES THIS IS A " TPMS" - TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SENSOR) THE CUSTOMER WAS DRIVING AT APPROX. 30 MPH AND NOTICED THE LIGHT COME UP ON THE DASH AND WITHIN SECONDS HER TIRE WAS FLAT, NOTHING WAS HIT, NO JOLT, NO WARNING, JUST POOF, THE TIRE WENT FLAT. LUCKILY SHE WAS DRIVING AT A LOW RATE OF...

APPROXIMATELY EVERY 15-20K MILES, THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND TIRES WEAR COMPLETELY, REQUIRING FULL REPLACEMENT. CHRYSLER/DODGE IS AWARE, BUT CHOOSES TO OFFER ONLY MINOR ASSISTANCE, AND PITHY EXCUSES, EVEN GOING SO FAR AS TO BLAME IT ON "WOMEN DRIVERS". *TR

WHILE WASHING THE TIRES AND RIMS ON MY DODGE JOURNEY I HIT A VALVE STEM BREAKING IT OFF. I HAVE WASHED MANY WHEELS IN THE PAST AND NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN BEFORE. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT IT DIDN'T HIT ME OR MY HAND. I THINK I WILL TAKE IT TO THE CAR WASH THE NEXT TIME. *TR
