2010 Dodge Journey complaints

WHILE DRIVING MY SON TO SCHOOL EVERYTHING SHUTS OFF IN CAR WHILE DRIVING FROM THE LIGHTS INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR, WIPERS, WINDOWS CAN NOT GO UP OR DOWN, UNABLE TO ALERT ANYONE IN TRAFFIC THAT I WAS COMING TO A STOP. THIS OCCURRED WHILE IT WAS STILL DARK OUTSIDE. HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES NOW NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IS GOING ON AFTER TAKING INTO SHOP I WAS GIVEN THIS SITE TO REPORT IT DUE TO SEVERAL OTHERS CLAIMING SAME ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT HAD TO RESTART THE VEHICLE IN ORDER TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PETERS CHEVROLET CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE (4181 US-259, LONGVIEW, TX 75605) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE OF THE DIAGNOSIS. THE VEHICLE WAS REPROGRAMMED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 157,000.

TWICE NOW I'VE WENT TO START MY CAR AND NOTHING HAPPENS. LIGHTS,RADIO, ETC ALL COME ON. TURN KEY, NOTHING! NOT EVEN A CLICKING NOISE. I WAS LEAVING WORK THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED. TOOK TURNING THE KEY OVER AND OVER ABOUT A DOZEN TIMES TO GET IT GOING. NEXT TIME I WAS AT GAS STATION. TOOK OVER HALF AN HOUR TO GET IT GOING. ENDED UP PUTTING IT INTO NEUTRAL TO GET IT TO START. HAD TO TRY THAT 4 DIFFERENT TIMES IN ORDER FOR THAT TO WORK. HAVE GOOGLES THIS ISSUE ON DODGE FORM AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL!

THE HORN WILL SOUND WITHOUT ANY NOTICE AND AT ANY TIME OF THE DAY. YOU CAN BE IN THE CAR OR OUT OF IT. IT CAN HAPPEN AT MULTIPLE TIMES OF THE DAY AND CAN WAKE YOU UP DURING THE NIGHT. I CONTACTED A DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THEY HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE PROBLEM. ALTHOUGH YOU CAN GO ON THE INTERNET AND THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS AND THEY SAY THEY HAVE HAD THEIR VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP WITH NO SOLUTION. IT CAN BE UNSAFE IF YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE HORN STARTS HONKING, BUT AS I SAY IT CAN HAPPEN IN YOUR GARAGE AT NIGHT. AS FAR AS I KNOW THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS, BUT THERE SHOULD BE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR AT LEAST THE LAST 12 MONTHS.

HORN CONSTANTLY GOING OFF DRAINING BATTERY. SO FAR I HAVE REPLACED MY BATTERY TWICE. THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES, WHILE DRIVING, PARKED, ON AND OFF. DOESN'T MATTER JUST KEEPS GOING OFF. WE TOOK THE HOT FUSES OUT BUT THE BATTERY IS STILL BEING DRAINED BY IT.

WHEN CAR IS PARKED AND HAS SECURITY ALARM SET THE HORN WILL HONK ON AND OFF ON ITS OWN AND DEALERSHIP BLAMES THE PCM BRAIN OF VEHICLE AND KNOW OF A FEW OTHERS WHO HAVE TAKEN IN THEIR OWN DODGE JOURNEYS FOR THE SAME ISSUES AND THEY SAY IS A RECALL IN EFFECT ON THIS.

OUR ACCELERATOR PEDAL SNAPPED OFF WHILE ACCELERATING. THIS WAS DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON I-55 IN ILLINOIS BY MILE MARKER 261. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ALREADY, THE BROKEN GAS PEDAL HAPPENED WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE FURTHER. I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT. THERE WAS NO SHOULDER ON THE LEFT WHERE I WAS TRAVELING AND I HAD TO CROSS MULTIPLE LANES OF TRAFFIC TO GET TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. IF I HAD TO STOP, I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET OUT OF DRIVING LANES AS THE PEDAL SNAPPED ALL THE WAY UP WHERE THE SHAFT MEETS THE FIREWALL. ILLINOIS STATE POLICE CAME TO ASSIST AFTER DODGE REFUSED TO SEND A TOW TRUCK BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, WHEN I COMMUNICATED THAT THIS WAS FAR MORE THAN A WARRANTY ISSUE, THEY RESPONDED BY STATING THAT THE SUPERVISOR WAS "TOO BUSY" TO SPEAK WITH ME DESPITE OUR CHILDREN AND US BEING STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF I-55 DURING RUSH HOUR. THE PEDAL IS MADE OUT OF A PLASTIC AND THIS PLASTIC SNAPPED EASILY UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 97,000-98,000 MILES ON OUR VEHICLE.

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN 2010 AND DID NOT HAVE TO CHANGE THE BRAKES ON IT UNTIL 2014 - NOW, I HAVE TO CHANGE ALL 4 OF THE BRAKES RIGHT DOWN TO THE ROTORS EVERY YEAR (ALL 4 PADS AND ROTORS CHANGED 2014, 2015, 2016 AND NOW 2017, WITH CALIBERS CHANGED IN 2016 AS WELL)! THERE IS NEVER ANY SQUEAK FROM THE BRAKES OR OTHER NOISES OR FAILURE TO STOP UNTIL ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE BRAKES GRIND LOUDLY WHEN USED AND THE VEHICLE REQUIRES A GREAT DISTANCE TO STOP.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING IGNITION SWITCH ISSUES WITH MY 2010 DODGE JOURNEY--CURIOUSLY SIMILAR TO THE ISSUES THAT SPURRED A RECALL (RO3) WITH THE SAME MODEL/YEAR JOURNEYS--BUT MY VIN DIDN'T SHOW UP IN THE AFFECTED LIST. I TOOK THE JOURNEY IN TO MY CHRYSLER DEALER TO REPAIR AN IGNITION SWITCH GETTING STUCK, AND THE ESTIMATE WAS AROUND $800 TO REPAIR THE SWITCH AND REPROGRAM THE KEYS! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE KEY HAD TO BE JIGGLED IN THE IGNITION SWITCH TO START THE VEHICLE.

I'VE HAD ELECTRICAL PROBLEM EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR THE HORN GOES OFF RANDOMLY THE FOB DOESN'T WORK ANY OF THE LOCKS AND SOMETIMES WON'T START MY CAR TRANSMISSION JUMPS GEARS HEATER VENT MAKES WEIRD NOISE BASICALLY THIS CAR HAS SO MANY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS IT DRAINS MY BATTERY EVERY OTHER DAY I REALLY CAN'T PIN POINT BECAUSE IT HAS DIFFERENT ISSUES I'M AFRAID TO GO ANYWHERE BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW IF IT WILL START BACK UP THAT'S ANOTHER THING IT SHUTS OFF AS IF I TURNED THE KEY OFF AS I'M DRIVING OR COME TO A STOP TOOK IT IN SPENT

TAMARA RECALL... SINCE I GOT THE CAR I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES, FIRST AIR BAGS, REACTIONS AND FUEL SYSTEM AND TODAY AUGUST 18, 2017 AT 4:38AM MY CAR SHUT OFF WHILE IN THE HIGH WAY.

WITHOUT WARNING, THE HORN STARTS BLARING, WHETHER WE ARE IN THE CAR OR NOT. THIS HAPPENS DAILY! HAD TO TAKE THE FUSE OUT THAT CONTROLS THE HORN! THE ALARM WOULD START BLARING AT NIGHT AND WILL NOT GO OFF, WEARING THE BATTERY DOWN IF WE DO NOT HEAR IT IN THE GARAGE, WHICH IS NOT ATTACHED TO THE HOUSE. I HAVE READ COUNTLESS OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM! NOT HAVING A HORN IS DANGEROUS, AND I'M NOT SURE IF THE AIR BAG IS AFFECTED! DODGE WANTS $105 TO CHECK THE PROBLEMS, AND APPROXIMATELY $400 TO REPAIR, PER THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP. NO HELP FROM MANUFACTURER!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE STATIONARY AND DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE HORN MALFUNCTIONED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HORN SOUNDED INDEPENDENTLY WHILE THE CONTACT WAS NOT IN THE VEHICLE AND WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT IT BEING ENGAGED. MORITZ CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM OF FORT WORTH, TEXAS WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

SEVERAL TIMES LAST WEEK WHILE PARKED AND LOCKED (USING THE KEY FOB) THE HORN HAS RANDOMLY HONKED. JUST THIS WEEK ONCE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET THE HORN HONKED. THIS HAS HAPPENED 6 OTHER TIMES THIS WEEK WHILE PARKED EITHER AT MY HOUSE OR AT MY WORK. ANY IDEAS WHAT IS CAUSING THIS MALFUNCTION?

WE'VE BEEN STRANDED SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE THE CAR WILL INTERMITTENTLY DECIDE NOT TO START . THE BATTERY AND STARTER ARE BOTH FINE BUT SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL CRANK AND THEN WON'T FOR A DAY OR SO. RESEARCH HAS LED ME TO BELIEVE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH IN 2010 DODGE JOURNEY'S. THERE ARE MANY FORUMS AND BLOGS OUT THERE DESCRIBING THIS SAME ISSUE AND THERE IS A TRICK THAT SOMETIMES WHEN THE CAR WON'T CRANK WHILE IN PARK, YOU CAN PUT THE GEAR IN NEUTRAL AND IT WILL CRANK UP. THAT WORKED FOR US SEVERAL TIMES BUT RECENTLY, EVEN THAT TRICK STOPPED WORKING. OUR CAR HAS CURRENTLY BEEN AT A DODGE DEALERSHIP FOR 2 WEEKS AND EVEN THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS.

PURCHASED MY 2010 JOURNEY MARCH 2017. A WEEK AFTER PURCHASE CONSTANT SHAKE IN STEERING WHEEL, BRAKES AND ROTORS CHANGED ALREADY, CONSTANT BATTLE WITH GETTING IT STARTED, WILL CLICK AND RADIO, LIGHTS , AND ALL WORK. SOMETIMES 5 MINUTES SOMETIMES AN HOUR BEFORE IT WILL START. BATTERY TESTER, ALT, AND STARTER CHECKED. ALL CLEAR, THEN TO ADD TO ASK IF THAT IT ALL OF THE SUDDEN STARTS OVER HEATING ABOUT 10 MINUTES UP THE ROAD. REPLACE THE THERMOSTAT, FLUSH THE LINES AND IT STOP OVER HEATS. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO FIX ANY OF THIS AT THE SAME TIME! I HAVE 4 KIDS I NEED MY VEHICLE FIXED AND SAFE FOR THE ROAD ASAP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL OTHER TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE ROCHESTER HILLS CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM DEALER LOCATED AT 1301 S ROCHESTER RD, ROCHESTER, MI 48307 WHERE THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER A RECALL AND REPAIRS WOULD BE AT THE CONTACTS EXPENSE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED AND WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. APPROXIMATELY THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

FRONT SEATS HEAD RESTS RETAINING PIN PLASTIC C CUP HOLDERS FAILING AND LETTING HEAD REST SNAP FORWARD WITH TREMENDOUS FORCE TOWARD HEAD OF DRIVER OR PASSENGER. BASICALLY A PLASTIC PART HOLDING A STEEL PIN THAT HINGES FAILING. IF WHILE DRIVING COULD CREATE CONCUSION TO EITHER DRIVER OR PASSENGER. SOUNDS LIKE CHERRY BOMB GOING OFF. THE VEHICLE IN MY CASE WAS IN GARAGE NOT MOVING, JUST BY CHANCE. IT BLEW UP.

THE AUTOS HORN WILL ACTIVATE UNINTENTIONALLY CAUSING SAFETY CONCERN OF TROUBLING OTHER DRIVERS THE CAR CAN BE IN MOTION OR STATIONARY AT THE TIME

I HAD A RECALL ON MY KEYS BACK IN 2015 BUT EVERY SINCE THEM AT WILL MY TRUCK WILL NOT START. I HAVE TAKEN TO SEVERAL PLACES FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING TO SEE IF IT IS MY BATTERY, STARTER, ALTENATER OR LOOSE WIRING AND THEY HAVE ALL COME BACK NEGATIVE. EVERY TIME I TAKE IT TO THE SHOP OR THE DEALER THEY TELL ME THE SAME THING IF IT IS NOT DOING IT WHEN I GET IT TO THEM THEY CANNOT FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I AM TIRED OF BEING STRANDED AND PAYING TO HAVE MY TRUCK TOWED AND THEN IT STARTS AS SOON AS I GET IT HOME. I NEED HELP PLEASE!!

MY CAR PICKS WHEN IT WANTS TO CRANK. SOMETIMES IT CRANKS BY KEY MANUALLY AND OTHER TIMES I WALK OUTSIDE TO TAKE THE TRASH OUT, KEY NO WHERE NEAR ME, THE TRUCK IS RUNNING. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WOULD JUST LOSE POWER. THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH WOULD FLICKER ON AND OFF. THE CARS ALARM WOULD JUST RANDOMLY GO OFF ALL HOURS OF THE NIGHT AND DAY. FOR A FULL YEAR NO ONE COULD TELL ME WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THE POWER KEPT DRAINING FROM THE BATTERY EVEN AFTER I PURCHASED AN ALMOST $200 BATTERY. I TOOK IT TO PRECISION TUNE FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, AFTER TWO DAYS THEY STILL COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM AND FINALLY ON DAY THREE I CALL TO FIND OUT IT WAS THE TIPM, A PART THAT'S OVER $1000. WELL THIS PART IS ON BACK ORDER AND HAS BEEN SINCE JANUARY WITH DODGE. THERE IS NO ESTIMATED DATE OF WHEN THEY'LL RESTOCK AND THERE IS ALMOST 400 PEOPLE IN FRONT OF ME. WITH THIS MANY PROBLEMS THIS PART SHOULD BE RECALLED.

HAVE INTERMITTENT STARTER FAILS. OFTEN LEAVES ME STRANDED. HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET IT GOING EVENTUALLY BY JIGGLING FUSES IN THE FUSE BOX. BUT I NEVER KNOW WHEN THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN AND I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 6 MONTHS AND IT HAS HAPPENED 6 TIMES. VEHICLE WAS ALWAYS TURNED OFF AND WHEN I WENT TO TURN IT ON, NOTHING. BUT THERE IS POWER IN THE CAR, LIGHTS AND RADIO ETC.

I WAS SITTING IN MY APARTMENT WHEN MY DAUGHTER CAME IN AND ASKED WHY MY CAR WAS RUNNING, I HAVE MY KEY SITTING 100 YDS FROM THE CAR, I TURNED THE CAR OFF WENT BACK INSIDE AND 10 MIN LATER IT STARTED AGAIN I USED THE DOOR LOCK TO LOCK IT THIS TIME, IT HAVEN'T STARTED BY ITSELF SINCE I STARTED DOING THIS. NOW WHEN I GET WITHIN 10FT OF THE CAR IT WILL UNLOCK AND ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS I DON'T EVEN HAVE THE KEY IN MY HAND. I CAN' T HAVE THIS HAPPEN ANY MORE HELP.

THE BRAKING SYSTEM MAKES A LOUD CRUNCHING NOISE AND GETS MUSHY WHEN YOU'RE ON A SLIPPERY SURFACE MAKING IT HARD TO STOP.

ESP, BAS, & TRACTION LIGHTS ON CAN'T TAKE OUT OF PARK. DEALERSHIP REPLACED TIPM ($1200) NEXT MORNING LIGHTS COME BACK ON & ONCE STOPPED, CAN'T TAKE OUT OF PARK. WHEN STARTING VEHICLE, I HAVE TO HURRY & PUT IN REVERSE BEFORE ALL DIALS ARE REGISTERING & SAFE TO DRIVE, OTHERWISE ESP, BAS. & TRACTION LIGHTS WILL BE ON & I'M NOT ABLE TO TAKE OUT OF PARK.

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS WITH THIS VEHICLE. ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AS I WAS DRIVING, AS I BEGAN TO BRAKE, I LOST ALL POWER AND ON TWO OTHER OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T START AND I HAD TO CALL TO GET A JUMP, BUT WAS TOLD MY BATTERY IS GOOD BOTH TIMES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. IN ADDITION, EACH TIME THE VEHICLE STALLED, THE KEY HAD TO BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED UNLESS THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE IN THEIR POSSESSION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V373000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,719. UPDATED 10/17*LJ CONSUMER STATED SPITZER & CHRYSLER WAS UNABLE TO CONFIRM ISSUE WHEN RUNNING DIAGNOSTICS AS THE ISSUE DID NOT HAPPEN WHILE THEY HAD THE CAR TO TEST.

CONSUMER HAS TO COAST TO A STOP AS ALL MECHANICAL DEVICES SHUT DOWN & WHEEL BECOMES DIFFICULT TO MOVE. UPDATED 9/27/18*JB

THE POWER STEERING ON THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY AT LOWER SPEEDS. POWER STEERING SUFFERS FROM A LACK OF POWER CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO BECOME HARD TO MOVE AND UNDRIVABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SHOP AND TOLD THAT THE DEALER HAS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE, S08. THE RECALL IS FOR THE HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST HOSE, PIPING, AND CONNECTIONS. THE DEALER STATES THAT THE RECALL DOES NOT APPEAR FOR THE VIN. THE MANUFACTURER STATES THAT EVEN THOUGH THIS MODEL YEAR AND ENGINE SIZE DO HAVE THIS RECALL BECAUSE IT DOES NOT HAVE AN ENGINE BLOCK HEATER IT DOES NOT QUALIFY. THE ENGINE BLOCK HEATER HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE POWER STEERING OF THIS VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE S08 RECALL THAT OTHER VEHICLES OF THIS YEAR AND MODEL AND ENGINE SIZE ARE COVERED BY.

ON APRIL 1ST 2017 WHILE DRIVING HOME AFTER AN OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION JOB BY A DODGE DEALERSHIP, I NOTICED SMOKE COMING UNDER THE DRIVER'S DASHBOARD SIDE AND BURNING SMELL, AFTER EXITING THE FREEWAY. THE DASHBOARD WENT "DARK OR BLANK" BUT CAME RIGHT BACK ON, AND MY WIPERS TURNED ON BY ITSELF. I DON'T HAVE CONTROL OF THE WIPERS WHILE THEY ARE "ON" AND IT WILL TURN ITSELF OFF AS SOON AS THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS ARE BACK. THE SMOKE AND BURNING SMELL DIDN'T LAST LONG. IT HAPPENED FAST WITHOUT WARNING AND GONE QUICKLY. IT STOPPED BY THE TIME I FOUND A SAFE PARKING SPOT. WHILE PARKED, I FOUND OUT THAT I LOST MY LIGHTS (HEADLIGHTS, TAIL LIGHTS AND SIGNAL LIGHTS) BUT THE HORN, POWER WINDOWS/DOORS/LOCKS AND RADIO ARE STILL WORKING. MY DASHBOARD INDICATOR SHOWED SOMETHING ABOUT "FUSE" WARNING. I CALLED THE DODGE DEALER (WHO JUST PERFORMED THE OIL CHANGE) AND TOLD A SERVICE ADVISOR WHAT JUST HAPPENED. I TOLD THE ADVISOR THAT THE "ENGINE LIGHT" CAME ON BUT IT IS STEADY AND NOT FLASHING. BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP, I TOLD THE SERVICE ADVISOR THAT MY DASHBOARD WENT "DARK" & WIPERS COMBO AGAIN AT LEAST 3X ON THE WAY BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE ADVISOR CHECKED THE JOURNEY AND CAME BACK WITH THE BAD NEWS OF MELTED DASHBOARD HARNESS / INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DAMAGED DUE TO AN "ELECTRICAL SHORT" AND COST OF ABOUT $5K REPAIR. THE DEALER DON'T KNOW WHAT CAUSED THE "ELECTRICAL SHORT". FILED AUTO INSURANCE CLAIM AND THEY ARE NOT COVERING IT (NOT COMPREHENSIVE) BECAUSE THERE'S NO FIRE (CONTAINED) AN
