2009 DODGE JOURNEY Electrical System Problems

The steering locked up could not turn or straighten car out. All electrical things lights air conditioning gas light just went haywire and is still not working. The shifting system I guess is what u call it started slipping out of gear like going into natural or first gear and nothing else. Several cars had to serve to keep from getting hit at 70+ miles an hour and I had no control other than to hit the break on the freeway and pray. Accordingly to the Bob site there's so many problems I know the ones I've had I just didn't know I could let any one know that mattered. I've reported it today. The first time it slipped out of gear I thought maybe it was something I may have done as far as the electric it was Little things like AC works as it pleases airbags light up...

I have issues starting it. New starter, new battery and it just dies. Luckily I was parked when it died. I have children, if it dies while driving I could be in a serious car crash with my children in the car. I do not want to die, I love my car but I do not want to be put in danger because of this type of issue. I also do not want to be stranded somewhere. PLEASE HELP.

The contact owns a 2009 Dodge Journey. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the engine seized. The vehicle was restarted and driven to the destination. The contact stated that the following day while attempting to start the vehicle, the vehicle failed to start. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with TIPM failure. The contact was informed that the totally integrated power module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 194,000.

No warning. Car caught on fire due to electrical issues in the back lighter port.

I've gone through 6 batteries in 1 year and I still have to keep jumping my vehicle Everytime I start it. I am currently stranded in Walmart parking lot with no jumper cables and I am being forced to walk now. Also there are times when I am driving down the highway and at any given moment it acts as if I stomped on the brakes. The lights go off and on, the windows roll up and down, the door locks are out of control and the gauges on the dashboard go out of control as well. I recently bought a new TIPM and ECM because when I replaced the battery it would no longer start. This vehicle is very dangerous and I'm sorry I ever bought it. It seems as if dodge cares more about their money than a human life

I'm original owner of 2009 dodge journey, and hearing of electrical problems causing fires, I want to inform you. 1) I have been having problems with the horn sounding off intermittently. 2) I have my radio that stop working which has the hands free cell phone speaker and the review camera. 3) most recently the drivers side door window switches to driver's window and front passenger window stopped working. I don't know what would be next but am concerned about the safety of my family in reference to this reported fire incident. Thank you for reading [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

The vehicle keep locking and unlocking by itself even when I am driving. Also when I was driving the airbags deployed on its own but no accident

The contact owns a 2009 Dodge Journey. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the vehicle failed to start-up. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V373000 (Electrical System, Air Bags). The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.

Vehicle owner was driving and pulled over when all warning lights began flashing, wipers came on, horn started honking, windows would not go down, doors would not unlock, and vehicle started on fire. Fire appeared to begin in the engine compartment, with fire eventually consuming entire vehicle.

Igntion did not turn over on first attempt, however, it did turn over after turning key back to off position and trying again. I was in a parking lot and it was daylight. I have not had vehicle serviced at this point as it did turn over. There was no warning messages or symptoms prior . It is unknown at this time if this will happen again.

09 Dodge Journey 3.5l v6 issues started the day after I bought the vehicle!! will cut off while driving, stall and cut off at stop lights, stop signs. Way too much heat coming from motor, ac compressor making allot of noise. Overheating issues, brake light switch issue. Cruise control malfunction, driver’s window switch and window not working. Rear tv stopped working after a snow storm, rear ac/ heater not blowing at all, cars won’t shift out of park at all. Headlights stopped working. All lights flashed on and off while driving down the freeway at 80mph, now it’s saying gas cap on dash, while driving to a job the timing belt broke after being replaced 2 months earlier, water pump is leaking after being replaced 2 months ago. Water soaking the passenger and backseat floorboards and I can’t figure out why. This is honestly the worst vehicle I’ve ever bought...

SYMPTOMS – Dangerous Malfunction Critical Component Failure – Wipers constantly on slow speed, even in driving rain. No Rear Wiper. No TURN SIGNALS Engine rough and limited to ~2,500 RPM. No HORN. Left signal initiated by Driver in Vehicle#1 when turning left in front of other driver Vehicle#2, no left signal light resulted; Driver in Veh#2 presumed Veh#1 was proceeding straight and pulled out; Result was Near Miss frontal collision. Right Steering column stalk - Front Windshield Wipers constantly on, can not shut off. No WW washer activation. No wiper speed control – almost like default: lowest continuous operation (not intermittent and not high speed). No rear WW wiper and wash operation either. Left steering column stalk - No turn signals, no bright lights, no dash light control. Most dash gauges do work except Navigation compass. No horn, Engine limited to about 2,500 RPM – rough acceleration Even with ALL...

The TIPM (Total Integrated Power Module) is causing electrical system failures (e.g., wipers, power locks, cruise control, etc.). Many of the affected systems are convenience issues, but the wipers and cruise control can negatively impact safe driving. Additionally the car will randomly start shaking and lose velocity while driving due to missed cylinder firings my mechanic attributes to the failing TIPM.

Me and my son were sitting in the car waiting for my wife and the car started dying lights started were flashing the horn was honking wipers were going interior lighting and gauge cluster was all flashing then smoke started to come through the vents so we jumped out and that’s when I seen flames under the hood the wiring harness from the firewall to the fuse box was completely in flames. I eventually tamed to fire with snow beings that it was all I had at the moment. The vehicle hasn’t been inspected by anyone yet I wasn’t sure how to go about this never had to deal with anything like it. It is available for inspection anytime.

I have power door locks not working except manually or driver door by key. Key fob and door module for locks will not function. I cannot open the hatch due to power lock function. The Airbag light comes on when vehicle is started and the door is open and only disappears after the door is closed, engine shut off then restarted. Also the engine light came on for awhile then off and is now back on. This is what code scan report says. Engine and Transmission are P0420 Catalyst Efficiency (Bank1), OBDll Codes ($03) is Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 1. The Airbag is U0172 Lost Commuication w/Left Side Satellite Accelerator Sensor 1- Stored. The Door Module- Front Right (DMFR) is B16A5 Passenger Window Switch Backlighting Circuit High-Stored. Not sure exactly what these all mean but I think the Power Locks are a safety issue along with the Airbags....

The gear will not shift unless I press the release button. After I took it for a recall in Route 18 Dodge dealer East Brunswick NJ, it came back without been able to shift. I asked the mechanic why my car is no moving, they said you have to press the release button and shift gears at the same. I told them I didn’t bring my car in like this. After I spoke to “Mike” the manager, he said it was a matter of time. I’m scare for my life when driving because now is making all these sounds on the transmission.

Something in the engine is causes the alternator to die. I’ve gotten it changed 3 times within a year. The car has been having multiple issues since I purchased it. The file is to lengthy to upload

REPORTING COMMON PROBLEMS OF 2009 DODGE JOURNEY 2.0CRD 103KW 1.A CAR STARTED SHUTTING OFF WHENEVER IT DRIVES, RUNNING IN PARKING LOT, STOPPED AT RED LIGHT. 2.BATTERY FAILS SUDDENLY, WITHOUT ANY WARNING, JUMPING CABLES CAN'T HELP, BECAUSE A CAR JUST MAKING A CRANKING NOISE UNDER A HOOD. 3. WHEEL AIRBAG IS HAVING SHORT CIRCUITS, SO DUE TO IT SOMETIMES LIGHTS A WARNING IN DASHBOARD. 4. STEERING WHEEL RELAY SHOWS MISUNDERSTOOD DEGREES OF WHEEL ANGLE, SO IT COMES TO ESP BAS ERROR.

I HAVE A 2009 DODGE JOURNEY SXT AND IM HAVING A INTIMATE FUEL PUMP PROBLEM. I READ THAT THE TIPM MAY BE A RECALL AND WONDERING ABOUT IT

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH, ALL FUNCTIONS OF THE VEHICLE DASH STOPPED WORKING ( SPEEDOMETER, RPM, ALL LIGHTS ETC.) AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES STARTED GOING AS IF THEY WERE ON EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE NOT.

SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT STATING AS SOMETIMES IT WON'T START. I REPLACED STARTER AND STILL SAME ISSUE, I HAVE TO PUR IT IN NEUTRAL AND TRY TO START IT AND EVENTUALLY IT DOES BUT IT SHOULDN'T BE THIS WAY ALSO IT STOP WORKING AS I WAS DRIVING GETTING READY TO MAKE A TURN AND I HAD TO RESTART IT BUT ONCE AGAIN IT WOULDN'T START THE FIRST FEW TIMES WHICH I HAD TO PUT IN NEUTRAL AND I WAS IN THE CITY TRAFFIC VERY DANGEROUS

RANDOMLY, VEHICLE WILL NOT START. CAN DRIVE IT TO THE STORE, COME BACK OUT AND IT WILL NOT CRANK. ALL INTERIOR LIGHTS, ETC., WILL BE ON BUT ENGINE WILL NOT TURN OVER. AFTER IT SITS FOR A WHILE (BUT YOU NEVER KNOW FOR HOW LONG) IT WILL START AGAIN. BATTERY AND STARTER ARE GOOD. I HEAR A CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE CAR AFTER IT'S BEEN SHUT OF, SOMETIMES HOURS LATER. NEWEST ISSUE IS THAT INDICATOR LIGHTS ALL COME ON WHEN YOU START THE CAR AND CAR JERKS VIOLENTLY WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING. IF YOU CONNECT A DIAGNOSTIC TOOL AND CLEAR THE CODES BEFORE YOU START IT, THE CAR RUNS SMOOTHLY. I AM SHOCKED AND FRUSTRATED TO SEE THAT THERE ARE SO FEW RECALLS WHEN I AM READING THAT THE SAME PROBLEMS ARE CONSISTENTLY OCCURRING.

RANDOMLY MY CAR WILL START JUST FINE ONE DAY THEN THE NEXT IT WILL FAIL TO START SOMETIMES ON THE SAME DAY. I HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN STUCK SOMEWHERE BECAUSE MY CAR HAS FAILED TO START. IT JUST MAKES A CLICKING NOISE WHEN TURNING THE KEY TO START THE CAR. I USUALLY HAVE TO WAIT A WHILE FOR IT TO FINALLY START. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY WHEN PARKED FOR SHORT PERIODS OR LONG PERIODS. I NOTICE WHEN IT'S HOT AND HUMID IS WHEN I USUALLY HAVE THE PROBLEM MORE. I RECENTLY CHANGED MY STARTER AND IT'S STILL GIVING ME THE ISSUE. ALSO HAVE CHANGED AND HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED AND STILL THE SAME ISSUE AND AGAIN JUST HAPPENS RANDOMLY.

I'VE BEEN RESEARCHING ABOUT THE FAULT AND FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL ABOUT THE WIRING HARNESS. I NEED THE PROPER PAPERWORK OR STEPS TO GET THIS PROBLEM AND RECALL FIXED. THANKS.

CAR FAILS TO START RANDOMLY AND CONSISTENTLY. I'VE SEEN NOTHING BUT ISSUES ALL OVER THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS AND NOTHING HAS EVER BEEN ANSWERED. PEOPLE SPEND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO NOT EVEN BE TOLD WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE.

I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS, AND IT HAD BEEN THERE ABOUT A WEEK EACH TIME AND THEY STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. I SUBMITTED A COMPLAINT A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO AND NEVER HEARD ANYTHING BACK. WHEN THE TEMPERATURE GETS BELOW 45 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT MY CAR GOES HAYWIRE. ALL WARNING LIGHTS ARE ON, SPEEDOMETER AND UCONNECT SCREEN WON'T WORK, WIPER BLADES ARE ON AND UNABLE TO TURN OFF, MY HEADLIGHTS ARE ON BUT THE CONTROLS WON'T WORK AND MY BRIGHTS WON'T WORK. THE DEALERSHIP WANTED 1600 BECAUSE THE 'THINK IT IS THE TIPM' BUT ARE UNSURE. WELL I CHANGED THE TIPM MYSELF FOR $330 AND IT IS STILL DOING IT. I CAN AT LEAST RETURN THE ONE I BOUGHT AND AM ONLY OUT $85 WHICH IS BETTER THAN PAYING $1600 FOR THEM TO TELL ME IT DIDN'T...

ALL OF THE BUTTONS STOPPED WORKING IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR, ALONG WITH THE TWO BACK DOORS. THE WINDOWS, LOCKS, ETC DO NOT WORK BECAUSE OF THIS. THE AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS TURNING OFF AND ON. NOW ALL OF THE WIRING IS ACTING LIKE IT IS MESSED UP. THE BRAKE LIGHTS KEEP COMING ON, THE CAR RANDOMLY WON'T START, THE OVERHEAD LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THE RIGHT BLINKER IS USED. NOW THE CAR WON'T SHIFT OUT OF PARK 8/10 TRIES. THE CAR ALSO ACTS LIKE IT LOSES POWER RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN. THESE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN LISTED AS RECALLS, YET MY CAR IS NOT ON THE LIST.

I WAS STATIONARY IN A PARKING LOT. MY VEHICLE HAS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WHEN IT GETS BELOW 50 DEGREES F. ALL OF MY DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS COME ON AND MY GAUGES WON'T REGISTER INCLUDING MY FUEL, RPM, AND SPEEDOMETER. MY TURN SIGNALS WON'T WORK AND NEITHER WILL MY EMERGENCY HAZARD LIGHTS. MY DOOR LOCKS AND WINDOW CONTROLS WORK INTERMITTENTLY WHEN THIS HAPPENS. MY NAVIGATION SCREEN/BACK-UP CAMERA WILL NOT WORK AND MY WIPER BLADES AND HEADLIGHTS STAY ON EVEN THOUGH THE CONTROLS ARE SET TO OFF. MY WIPER SPRAY NOZZLES WON'T WORK AND NEITHER WILL MY HIGH BEAMS. IT WILL STAY LIKE THIS UNTIL MY VEHICLE WARMS UP, USUALLY ABOUT 20-30 MIN. I AM A NURSE AND OFTEN HAVE TO TAKE CALL AT NIGHT, SO SOMETIMES I DON'T HAVE TIME TO LET IT WARM UP. I HAVE HAD TO DOWNLOAD AN APP THAT WILL TELL ME MY SPEED AND PRAY I DON'T...

THIS IS JUST TOO MUCH. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. SOMETIMES IT CRANK AND THEN IT WON'T. I CAN GET IN IT AND DRIVE TO WORK, BUT BY THE TIME I GET OFF IT WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. THE LIGHTS AND RADIO WORK BUT THE CAR WILL NOT TURN OVER. IT'S LIKE IT WILL WORK FOR AWHILE BUT AFTER TURNING IT OFF IT COULD TAKE HOURS TO START UP AGAIN IF IT STARTS UP. AND YES I HAVE ALSO TRIED THE PUTTING THE CAR IN NUETRAL, BUT WHEN IT DON'T TURN OVER YOU CAN NOT CHANGE THE GEARS.I DON'T HEAR ANY CRANKING NOISE, THE TRUCK JUST LIGHTS UP. I HAVE HAD A NEW STARTER, BATTERY, AND ALTERNATOR PUT ON. I HAVE HAD THIS TRUCK PULL HOME ON A TOW TRUCK FROM WORK AND SOON AS THEY UNHOOK IT IT WILL STARTS UP...I HAVE TWO YOUNG KIDS...

LEFT DRIVER DOOR WIRING ISSUE CAUSES BOTH FRONT POWER WINDOW CONTROLS ON DRIVER SIDE NOT TO FUNCTION WHEN STATIINARY & DRIVING. INTERMITTENT DASH WARNING LIGHTS FLASH & WINDSHIELD WIPERS ACTIVATE WITHOUT DRIVER INITIATION WHILE DRIVING. AIRBAG & SEAT BELT DASH WARNING LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING. CHECK ENGINE FOR POWRETRAIN CONTROL MODULE COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING.

I'VE HAD THE CAR FOR 2 YEARS. SINCE I'VE HAD IT, IT WOULD RANDOMLY NOT START, THE HEAT WOULD ONLY WORK IN THE BACK VENTS. GOT EVERYTHING FIXED ASSOCIATED WITH STARTER, BATTERY, EVERYTHING. FOR THE LAST 6 MONTHS, MY ENGINE LIKE HAS BEEN ON, AND AN ESP LIGHT. I GOT THE ENGINE CHECKED, BRAKES FIXED, ROUTERS, BRAKE PEDAL SWITCH REPLACED AND IT'S STILL DOING THE EXACT THING. GEAR WON'T SHIFT SOMETIMES BUT IT ISN'T THE TRANSMISSION.NOW THEY ARE SAYING POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL ISSUE BUT THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS! AFTER I'VE PUT MORE THAN 1000 INTO EVERYTHING THAT HAS NOT FIXED THE ISSUE.

FIRST THE LIGHT TURN ON OF THE AIR BAG (MOVEMENT). IN OTHER NIGHT WHEN I TURN ON THE ALARM IT'S START TO ACTIVATE ON PANIC MODE THEN I TURN OFF THE ALARM WAIT FOR A VARIOUS MINUTES AND ACTIVATE AGAIN (OFF), BUT IN LESS THAN A MINUTE START TO BE IN PANIC MODE. IN OTHER DAY (MOVEMENT), SAYS THAT WAS AN OPEN DOOR AND THE LOCKS START TO PUT IT MANY TIMES, ANY OF THE DOORS WASN'T OPEN (MOVEMENT). IN THE SAME DAY AT NIGHT IT'S START TO TURN ON/TURN OFF THE INSIDE LIGHTS, PUT THE LOCKS, AND THE MESSAGE OF A DOOR IT'S WAS OPEN (MOVEMENT). THE ALARM WAS ON PANIC MODE TWICE AND THE LIGHT'S WAS AGAING TURN ON/TURN OFF (OFF). THE BATTERIE, EVERY TIME THAT I TRY TO TURN ON THE VEHICULE I NEED A BOOSTER TO CHARGE IT AGAIN. THE MECHANICS SAYS THAT THE ALTERNATOR AND...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE DRIVING, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE FAILURE ALMOST CAUSED A CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MULTIPLE INDEPENDENT MECHANICS AND DEALERS. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED AND FOUND OTHER VEHICLE'S EXPERIENCING THE SAME FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GANLEY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (310 BROADWAY AVE, BEDFORD, OH 44146, (440) 232-2121) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ELECTRICAL AND COMPUTER SYSTEMS FAILED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR A SECOND OPINION, BUT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE EQUIPMENT TO CLEARLY DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WOULD DOCUMENT THE CONTACT'S FILE; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND THERE WERE NO CURRENT RECALLS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURES OCCURRED EVER SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN 2015. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED TO...

MY CAR IS CONSTANTLY UNABLE TO START IM BEING TOLD DUE TO ELECTRICAL ISSUES. IVE REPLACED THE STARTER, BATTERY, & ALTERNATOR. THERE ARE ALL KINDS OF FORUMS TELLING YOU WAYS AROUND GETTING THE CAR TO START BUT NO REAL FIXES. SOME PEOPLE SPENDING HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS TRYING TO FIX THIS ISSUE BY REPLACING FUSE BOXES, ADDING CABLES, REPLACING THE ENTIRE COMPUTER SYSTEM AND MORE TO NO AVAIL. WHILE OTHERS JUST PARK THE CAR UNTIL ITS PAID OFF OR SELL IT. ITS NOT FAIR AND ITS INCONVENIENT. DODGE JOURNEYS 2009+ ARE ALL EXPERIENCING THESE ISSUES.

WHEN A CERTAIN LIGHT APPEARS IT CAUSES MY BRAKE LIGHTS TO GO OUT. I HAVE BEEN PULLOVER MULTIPLE TIMES AND ALMOST IN ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS. I HAVE CHILDREN. I HAVE REPLACED MULTIPLE BULBS FOR NOTHING. THIS CAR HAS BEEN AN SAFETY HAZARD. I WORKED SOOOOOOO HARD TO PAY OFF I SHOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE A SAFE RELIABLE VECHILE. I AM A CNA I HAVE CLIENTS THAT I NEED TO TRANSPORT AND I CANT WHICH IS CAUSING ME TO BE BROKE BECAUSE I CANT WORK. IF YOU HAVE A HEART PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME AND MY FAMILY.

RANDOMLY, WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR, THE ENGINE WILL MAKE A SINGULAR CLICK SOUND BUT WILL NOT TURN OVER. HOWEVER, MOST OF THE TIME, WHEN PUTTING THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL, IT WILL START. SOMETIMES IT WILL TAKE MULTIPLE TIMES OF PUTTING CAR IN NEUTRAL, BACK TO PARK, FOR THE CAR TO START. THE ISSUES HAPPENS WITH BOTH COLD AND HOT STARTS (HAPPENS MORE OFTEN WHEN IN HOT WEATHER. WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR INTO THE DEALER AND THEY, "COULD NOT FIND ANY ISSUES." THE ISSUE HAS OCCURED OVER THE LAST 4 YEARS.

TAKARA RECALL. THE HORN WILL RANDOMLY GO OFF. AND SO WILL THE ALARM.

VEHICLE WILL NOT CONSISTENTLY START IN PARK. PLACING THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL WORKED FOR A FEW MONTHS THS AND NOW, AFTER THE STARTER AND O2 SENSORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED, THE VEHICLE HAS BEGUN TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. OUR CURRENT SHORT TERM FIX IS TO JIGGLE THE BATTERY CABLES/WIRING HARNESS AND AFTER 5 MINUTES THAT WORKS. HADN'T HAD THIS ISSUE FOR FIVE YEARS (AS THE OWNER) AND DURING THE PAST YEAR IT'S BEEN ONE NON-START AFTER ANOTHER. DROVE THE VEHICLE FOR AN HOUR WITHOUT A PROBLEM STARTING. STOPPED TO GET GAS, TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE, NOTHING. THE DASH TURNS ON, THE VEHICLE CLI IS, BUT WONT TURN OVER. BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, STARTER...CHARGING SYSTEM CHECKED OUT TO BE OK. CONCERNED I WILL BE STRANDED WITHOUT A TRUE FIX TO THIS ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY EACH TIME WE TRIED TO START IT. WWLE EVEN CAPTURED A VIDEO OF THE NON-START AND...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH, BUT THE ENGINE DID NOT SHUT OFF. THE CONTACT HAD TO REMOVE A FUSE FROM THE FUSE BOX IN ORDER TO SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC OR A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,000.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS MY DODGE JOURNEY HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. SOME INSTANCES OCCURRED WHILE TURNING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR DRIVING STRAIGHT AHEAD ON A LOCAL CITY ROAD. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, TRACTION EQUALIZER WARNING AND AIR BAG LIGHTS ALL COME ON JUST PRIOR TO THE CAR SHUTTING OFF MOST TIMES. OTHER TIMES THERE IS NO WARNING UNTIL MY STEERING WHEEL AND BRAKES LOCK UP INDICATED THAT THE CAR HAS SHUT OFF. I'VE HAD THE CAR SERVICED FOR THE ENGINE AMONGST OTHER REPAIRS AND THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS AND THE CODES CLEAR ONLY TEMPORARILY. THE CAR LIGHTS DIM OR FLICKER AND THE CAR SHAKES SOMETIMES WHEN STARTING UP INDICATING THAT THE CAR WILL NOT HOLD POWER TO DRIVE. THE BATTERY IS GOOD AND THE MECHANIC HAS STATED THAT THE ISSUE IS ELECTRICAL.

I BOUGHT THIS DODGE JOURNEY SXT LAST YR 2/16/2018, I ASKED THE SALESMAN IF THERE'S ANY RECALLS OR ANYTHING WRONG WITH THIS CAR.. HE SAID ONLY NEED TO REPLACE THE REAR TIRES.. I CONTACTED A LEMON LAW LAWYER THE NEXT DAY AFTER GETTING THE TIRES REPLACED BC HE LIED TO ME, THE TIE ROD & BALL JOINT HAD TO BE REPLACED, ON TOP OF THAT I FOUND OUT THERE ARE (4) RECALLS ON MY CAR THAT WERE NEVER TAKEN CARE OF, SO DODGE CHYRSLER DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE FRONT/BACK AIRBAGS IN (MAR/APRIL)OF YEAR 2018.. I RECEIVED THE RECALLS TO MY PHONE, TO TOP THAT OFF I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN CASH OVER ($4,263.00), THE LEMON LAW LAWYER TOLD ME TO GO TO A WEBSITE TO GET THE HISTORY ON MY CAR I BOUGHT, IT WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT ON PASSENGER SIDE ON (10/18/2017)..
