2018 DODGE JOURNEY Electrical System Problems

REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW DOES NOT GO DOWN. ALL OTHER WINDOWS GO DOWN NORMALLY EXCEPT FOR ONE WINDOW.

SUV WAS MAKING A LOUD WHINING SOUND TOOK IT IN TO BE CHECKED AND WAS TOLD THE ALTERNATOR WAS BAD. HAD IT CHANGED BY DEALERSHIP, I FEEL THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED THIS SOON WHEN THE SUV IS LESS THAN 2 YRS OLD. NOW THE PASSENGERS SIDE STRUT IS GONE BAD.

I WAS DRIVING MID DAY, 35 MPH ON MAJOR CITY STREET AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING. AS I WAS IN RIGHT HAND LANE I WAS ABLE TO FORCE THE CAR TO THE CURB EVEN THOUGH THE POWER STEERING HAD SHUT DOWN. WITH THE CAR STOPPED I COULD SEE THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ON AND THE IT WAS STILL IN "DRIVE". AFTER MY NERVES CALMED I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AND DRIVE ON. THIS WAS A RENTAL CAR THAT I HAD DRIVEN FOR 1,700 MILES DURING THE PAST 10 DAYS WITH OUT A PROBLEM. HOWEVER AN HOUR BEFORE I HAD BEEN ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE HIGHWAY IN A DRIVING RAINSTORM. HAD IT SHUT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING THERE I AM SURE THE ACCIDENT WOULD OF SHUT THAT INTERSTATE FOR HOURS.

I HAVE HAD TO BRING MY DODGE IN TO THE DEALER AT LEAST 7 TIMES SINCE I GOT IT BRAND NEW. I HAD STEERING ISSUES, BRAKE ISSUES, THE PASSENGER BACK DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE. NOW THE CAR WILL "STALL" AT TIMES WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION AND I GO TO ACCELERATE. I HAVE NOT BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR THIS ISSUE YET .

DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT STAY LOCK DOORS WILL UNLOCK WHEN WET WHEN YOU WASH CAR YOU GET WATER ON DOORS CAR LOCK AND UNLOCK UNCONTROLLABLY AND IN CAR WASH AND WHEN IT RAINS DOORS UNLOCK THEM SELF'S , DEALER CAN NOT FIX PROBLEM WENT THERE 6 TIMES.

THE RADIO IN THIS VEHICLE OFTEN WILL MAKE A SUDDEN LOUD NOISE MID-MUSIC AND THEN SHUT DOWN THE SYSTEM ENTIRELY FOR ABOUT A MINUTE. IT THEN STARTS BACK UP AS NORMAL. THIS HAPPENS UNPREDICTABLY ABOUT ONCE A WEEK SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AROUND NOVEMBER.

MY CAR STARTED OFF WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON AND THEN SOON AFTER, AS I SLOWED DOWN AND TURNED, MY ENGINE SHUT OFF, I LOST ALL POWER STEERING, AND THE BATTERY REMAINED ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE MANY TIMES AND IS COMPLETELY RANDOM. (DOESN'T MATTER IF I JUST STARTED THE CAR, I'VE BEEN DRIVING FOR 20 MINUTES, WARM WEATHER / COLD WEATHER, IT JUST HAPPENS WHEN IT HAPPENS.) MORE RECENTLY, THE TCS (TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM) WILL TURN ON RANDOMLY. (I HAVE FOOTAGE OF THE ROAD BEING 100% CLEAR WHILE THIS IS ON IN MY CAR.) IT WILL NOT SHUT OFF ONCE IT TURNS ON. IT MAKES IT SO I CAN'T SPEED UP HARDLY AT ALL WHICH OF COURSE HASN'T HAD THE BEST OUTCOMES ON THE HIGHWAY.
