2017 DODGE JOURNEY Electrical System Problems

MY AIR KEEPS COMING BACK ON , NOT MATTER HOW MANY TIMES THAT I TURN IT OFF. IT COMES BACK ON BY ITSELF. THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND JERKS ON THE BACK ROADS, HIGHWAY AND INTERSTATE. MY HUSBAND HAS CALLED JIM COGDILL DODGE AND KEEPS GETTING THE RUN AROUND ABOUT THE SITUATIONS. THE AIR IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WHICH CAN CAUSE A FIRE IF LEFT LIKE IT IS. I WAS TOLD BY THE SALESMAN THAT HE WOULD GET BACK TO ME IN A COUPLE OF DAYS. THAT IS NOT PROFESSIONAL AND IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR EVERYONE IN MY VEHICLE.

I HAD MY JOURNEY PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY, GRABBED MY PURSE AND MY DAUGHTER AND, HEADED OUT TO RUN ERRANDS. I DROVE TO MY DESTINATION, TURNED OFF THE CAR AND WENT TO LOCK IT FROM THE OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE. THERE WERE NO BEEPS AND THE DOORS WOULDN'T LOCK. I CHECKED MY PURSE AND THE ENTIRE INSIDE OF THE CAR, NO KEY FOBS WERE FOUND. I GOT IN THE CAR AND IT STARTED UP AGAIN. AFRAID TO LEAVE THE CAR IN THE PARKING LOT, I CALLED MY HUSBAND WHO CONFIRMED THAT BOTH MY SET OF CAR KEYS AND HIS SET OF CAR KEYS WERE AT HOME ON THE KEY HOOK. I'M EXTREMELY PUZZLED AS TO HOW MY CAR STARTED WITHOUT THE KEY FOB, LET ME DRIVE IT WITHOUT WARNING ME THERE WAS NO KEY FOB IN THE CAR, AND THEN LET ME RESTART IT SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT THE KEY FOB. WE...

THE STEERING LOCKS UP LIKE IT'S POWER STEERING BUT IT'S NOT I LOSE ALL CONTROL OF ACCELERATION THE ONLY WAY TO REGAIN CONTROL IS TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK TURN IT OFF TURN IT BACK ON SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T WANT TO START RIGHT BACK UP THIS HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES WHILE MY KIDS ARE IN THE CAR AND WHILE IN MOTION AND THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT ALL THEY DO IS UPDATE THE COMPUTER.

WENT TO GET IN CAR DIDN'T OPEN, HAD TO USE THE KEY, TRIED TO START THE CAR IT DIDN'T ,HAD TO USE THE KEY, PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AS WE WERE BACKING UP AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE CAR WENT FORWARD AND RAN INTO A CONCRETE PILLAR IN A PARKING GARAGE, THE CAR WAS PARKED
