TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER THE KEY WAS REMOVED AND REINSERTED INTO THE IGNITION. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE BATTERY, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED.

THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START INTERMITTENTLY. AFTER SEVERAL COSTLY REPAIRS THE ISSUE PERSISTS AND THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER DENY KNOWLEDGE OF THE PROBLEM OR REPORT THAT THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE IT. THIS SEEMS DISINGENUOUS SINCE ALL CAR SITES I EVALUATED PRIOR TO THIS COMPLAINT LIST THIS SAME ISSUE IN ABUNDANCE. I ALSO HAVE HAD TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE BRAKE SYSTEMS AND AM CURRENTLY RECEIVING WARNING LIGHTS FOR THE ESP AND BAS. THE MODEL YEAR IS POORLY MANUFACTURED AND THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY. IT HAS ALSO BEEN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS (MULTIPLE INCIDENCE OF STRANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER WITHOUT HEAT UP TO 2 HOURS WITH SMALL CHILDREN AFTER WHICH THE CAR WILL MIRACULOUSLY START.) *TR

IN OCT., 2014 I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE L25/NHTSA 14V-373. I HAVE CALLED MY DEALER AND CHRYSLER'S VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE TWICE, AND AGAIN TODAY. BOTH REPORT THAT "THE PROBLEM IS IN THE IGNITION SWITCH, BUT THAT "THE REPAIR PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE, NOR DO THEY HAVE AN ETA FOR THEIR ARRIVAL". LAST EVENING MY CAR'S ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 40 MPH. I RESTARTED AND IT STOPPED AGAIN. I HAD PLENTY OF GAS AND THE CAR HAS RUN NORMALLY SINCE. HOWEVER, THE CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST DIDN'T STOP IN TIME. HOW CAN THIS VEHICLE BE SAFE TO DRIVE? WHAT IF I HAD BEEN GOING 65 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE? I WAS EMPLOYED FOR MANY YEARS IN THE MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY AND NEVER HEARD OF PLACING , OR RECEIVING AN ORDER WITHOUT OBTAINING A DELIVERY COMMITMENT. WHAT IS GOING ON HERE? *TR

THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THE CAR HAS LEFT ME STRANDED. THE IGNITION WILL NOT TURN OVER. THE BATTERY IS FINE, THE TANK IS FULL. I RECEIVED A RECALL FOR THE IGNITION FOB BUT WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE PART IS NOT IN. ITS BEEN MORE THAN 6 MONTHS. I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT MY RIGHT ARE. ISN'T THE MANUFACTURER OBLIGATED TO FIX THE KNOWN/ADMITTED PROBLEM? *TR

VEHICLE WILL STALL WITHOUT WARNING FOR NO APPARENT REASON AT ANY SPEED. ON OCT 3, 2014 I WAS TAKING MY CHILD TO SCHOOL WHEN THE CAR STALLED IN AN INTERSECTION. AFTER THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I PROCEEDED TO THE INTERSECTION AND STALLED UPON ENTERING THE INTERSECTION. I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND RESTART WITHIN ~10 SECONDS. THIS ISSUE REPEATED ITSELF AT LEAST TWICE WHILE EN ROUTE FROM MY HOME TO A NEARBY SERVICE SHOP (FOLTZ AUTO) WHICH DETERMINED THERE WAS NO ISSUE THE BATTERY OR IGNITION. ON 10/5/14 I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HERITAGE CHRYSLER (21234) AND HAD THE CAR SERVICED FOR TWO REASONS: THE MAIN REASON WAS THE ABOVE ISSUE AND A SECONDARY ISSUE WAS THE MAIN ODOMETER (NOT THE TRIP ODOMETER) AT SOME POINT HAD RESET ITSELF LEAVING A DISPLAY OF AN INCORRECT MILEAGE MUCH LOWER THAN THE ACTUAL MILEAGE. THE DEALER COULD NOT RECREATE THE STALLING ISSUE OR OFFER ANY SOLUTION, BUT NOTED THAT ANOTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUE WAS CAUSING THE ODOMETER TO DISPLAY AN INCORRECT MILEAGE; THE FIX WAS TO REPLACE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ASSEMBLY. AFTER HAVING THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER REPLACED, THE ISSUE DID NOT REOCCUR UNTIL 12/26/2014, WHEN THE CAR STALLED THREE TIMES WITHOUT WARNING AT ~40 MPH, LEAVING THE CAR COMPLETELY "DEAD" EACH TIME, AND ONCE CAUSING THE CAR TO VEER QUICKLY TOWARDS ANOTHER CAR AS I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF TURNING THE WHEEL AROUND A SLIGHT CURVE WHEN THE CAR LOCKED UP. THE CAR RESTARTED IN NEUTRAL AND CONTINUED ON IN EACH INCIDENT UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY REACH MY HOME - I D

I'M WRITING TO COMPLAIN THAT MY 2009 DODGE JOURNEY HAS BEEN ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH.THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY. DESPITE THE FACT THIS REPRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD AND THIS RECALL WAS INITIATED ALMOST 7 MONTHS AGO, CHRYSLER STILL DOES NOT HAVE THE NECESSARY PARTS TO MAKE THE REPAIR. I HAVE CONTACTED THEM ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS AND THEY HAVE NO SOLUTION OR CAN OFFER AN ALTERNATIVE TO DRIVING THIS DANGEROUS VEHICLE. WE DON'T HAVE THE OPTION TO STOP USING THE JOURNEY. WHAT RESPONSIBILITY DOES CHRYSLER HAVE TO MAKE THESE IGNITION PARTS AVAILABLE IN EXPEDITIOUS MANNER? I WOULD ASSUME THERE MUST BE A TIME LIMIT TO MAKE THESE RECALL REPAIRS. EVERY DAY I DRIVE THE JOURNEY IS LIKE DRIVING A BOMB-YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL GO OFF. *TR

IN REGARD TO THE FREQUENCY OPERATED BUTTON IGNITION KEY (FOBIK), I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A SECOND NOTICE BY THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP ABOUT REPAIRING MY VEHICLE. I CALLED AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. I RECEIVED THAT INFORMATION 2 MONTHS AGO. I REQUEST YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. I AM NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING THE CAR IN THIS CONDITION. *TR

IN 10/14 I RECEIVED RECALL #L25/NHTSA 14V-373. ON 11/5/14 I CALLED MY DEALER AND WAS TOLD "NO PARTS AVAILABLE". "NO SCHEDULE". THE SAME DAY I CALLED CHRYSLER RECALL ASSIST. CENTER 1-800-853 AND WAS TOLD. "NO PARTS AVAILABLE OR SCHEDULE AVAILABLE. ON 12/4/14 CALLED ANTIOCH CHRYSLER/DODGE. "BRING THE CAR IN FOR DIAGNOSIS. I WASTED 1 HR! "NO PARTS AVAIL. OR SCHEDULED! WHEN YOU RECEIVE NOTICE FROM CHRYSLER THAT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE, CALL DEALER FOR APPOINTMENT." ACCORDING TO THE RECALL, THERE IS DANGER IN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. "ENGINE SHUT OFF AND PASSIVE RESTRAINT SYSTEMS WOULD ALSO SHUT OFF. HOW CAN CHRYSLER NOT HAVE A SCHEDULE FOR PARTS AVAILABILITY. DO I ASSUME THAT THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ORDERED, OR IF SO, WERE ORDERED FROM AN INCOMPETENT MANUFACTURER? WHY RECALL AT ALL? *TR

WHILE IN THE DRIVE THROUGH CAR TURNED OFF AND I COULDN'T STOP AND SCRAPED THE DRIVERSIDE FENDER ON A YELLOW BARRIER POLE. I THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE (A WTF MOMENT) SO I NEVER WORRIED ABOUT IT AGAIN. IT STILL CUTS OFF EVERY NOW AND AGAIN BUT I AM USUALLY PARKED OR MOVING SLOWLY. I DID GET PULLED OVER ONE TIME WHEN THE CAR CUT OFF AND TO STOP I HAD TO PUT IT IN PARK SO I WOULDN'T RUN A STOPSIGHN ONTO HWY 99. (HE LET ME GO) WENT FOR THE RECALL ON THE IGNITION SAT FOR OVER AN HOUR ONLY TO BE TOLD THEY DONT HAVE THE REPLACEMENT PART OR KNOW WHEN THEY WILL HAVE IT. ON MANY OCCASIONS I AM UNABLE TO GET THE CAR TO START. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I HAVE TO PLACE THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND TRY AGAIN. THE CAR WILL START ONCE PLACED IN NEUTRAL. WHENEVER THERE IS A THUNDERSTORM THE DRIVERSIDE REAR DOOR WILL FILL UP WITH WATER FROM THE OUTSIDE. IF I SLAM THE DOOR HARD THE WATER WILL FLOW OUT OF THE BOTTOM. FRONT BRAKES GRIND AND SQUEEK NO MATTER IF THE PADS ARE NEW OR HAVE BEEN ON FOR A WHILE. (I TRIED NEW ROTORS TO) WIRING RECALL WAS FIXED ONLY TO DO THE SAMETHING AS BEFORE MONTHS LATER. *TR

THE PART THAT IS DEFECTED IS TIPM(TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) WHICH I GUESS YOU CAN SAY THE BRAIN. I WAS DRIVING ON MY WAY TO WORK AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY WHOLE DASH BOARD GOES DARK AND THEN THAT'S WHEN THINGS WENT CRAZY. THE WIPERS STARTING GOING AND WOULD NOT STOP, THIS WAS A DRY DAY CAN YOU IMAGINE. THE GAUGES WENT HAYWIRE SUCH AS MY THERMOSTAT WENT TO ZERO, SIGNAL LIGHTS WOULD NOT WORK, RADIO DIED, GAS LIGHT CAME ON AND NO SPEED ODOMETER. ALL THIS TO SAY THAT I TRAVEL ABOUT 65 MILES OR SO ONE WAY TO WORK. DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO THINK OF THIS AND AS I CONTINUE DRIVING THANK GOODNESS TO THAT. THE DASH BOARD START AGAIN TO GO DARK AND THINGS CAME BACK ON AND THIS HAPPEN AGAIN BEFORE I GOT TO WORK. NEED LESS TO SAY WHAT A WAY TO START OUT THE MORNING, I THOUGHT THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A GREMLIN IN MY VEHICLE OR SOME GHOST FROM PASS. TRYING TO BRUSH THIS OFF AND SAID THIS WAS A FLUKE OR SOMETHING.
