WHEN THE MOVIE WAS OVER I I COULD NOT CRANK MY TRUCK. YOU COULD SEE THE LIGHTS ON IN THE INSIDE BUT MY TRUCK DASH SAID MY KEY WAS NOT IN VEHICLE OF WHICH IT WAS. THEN IT SAID VEHICLE NOT IN PARK OF WHICH IT WAS. MY UCONNECT SCREEN KEPT TRYING TO LOAD AND WOULD JUST KEEP GOING OUT. I HAD 3 PEOPLE TRY TO JUMP IT JUST IN CASE THE BATTERY WAS DEAD EVEN THOUGH I KNEW IT WASN'T INCLUDING THE TOW SERVICE FOR MY INSURANCE. NONE OF THIS WORKED. I HAD TO GET THE VEHICLE TOWED HOME NOW I CAN NOT LOCK MY VEHICLE CAUSE IT HAS NO POWER. MY DASH SAYS MY KEY IS NOT IN THE VEHICLE OF WHICH IT WAS AND THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT IN PARK OF WHICH IT WAS. NOW ON MY DASH IT SAYS THE FOLLOWING LIGHTS ARE ON: ETL ELECTRONIC THROTTLE LIGHT, AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT, AND MIL MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT. I SAW A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON GOOGLE AND YOUTUBE WHEN I SEARCH THIS ISSUE THIS HAS GOT TO BE FIXED CAUSED I AM A DOGE FAN BUT I CAN NOT KEEP A VEHICLE THAT I AM PAYING ON AND IT DOESN'T WORK.

MY VEHICLE HAS HAD TWO FAILED ALTERNATORS. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 50000 MILES. THE FIRST HAPPENED LESS THAN A YEAR. IT WAS REPLACED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE 2ND WAS RECENTLY REPLACED VIA AN EXTENDED SERVICE CONTRACT BUT STILL COST ME $200 FOR THE DEDUCTIBLE AND A BATTERY THAT WAS RUINED BY THE ALTERNATOR. EACH TIME I HAD A BATTERY SAVER MODE MESSAGE, NOTHING ABOUT THE ALTERNATOR. THE 2ND TIME I WAS TRAVELING ACROSS COUNTRY AND THE VEICHLE STARTED DOWNSHIFTING AND ALL THE DASHBOARD INDICATORS STARTED RANDOMINGLY LIGHTING UP LIKE A PINBALL GAME. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE OFF THE HIGHWAY SO I WOUND'T GET HIT. I WAS ALSO IN A SPARSELY POPULATED AREA AND WAS LUCKY TO GET TOWED TO A NEARBY DEALERSHIP.

ENGINE BEAUTY COVER MAY DETACH AND FALL ONTO CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND CATCH FIRE. DODGE SENT OUT THE RECALL AND HAS YET TO SUPPLY ANY PARTS TO THE DEALERS TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. ISSUE HAS NOT HAPPENED YET, BUT MY WIFE DRIVES THIS CAR EVERYDAY WITH OUR BABY IN IT. RECALL NOTIFICATION CODE IS R32

MY VEHICLE HAS UNDERGONE REPEATED REPAIR ATTEMPTS, FOR A DEFECT AND NONCONFORMITY WITH DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION, TRANSMISSION CLUNK, DEFECTIVE A/C, DEFECTIVE DOOR LOCKS, DEFECTIVE WINDOW REGULATOR, AND RADIO FAILURE. THESE NONCONFORMITIES SUBSTANTIALLY IMPAIR THE USE, VALUE AND SAFETY OF THE SUBJECT VEHICLE. THE TRANSMISSION HAS SHIFTING ISSUES TO THE POINT OF HAVING TO FORCE IT INTO REVERSE, ESPECIALLY IF PARKED ON AN INCLINE. THE DEFECTIVE A/C AND RADIO SEEM TO BE CONTAINED IN THE ALL-IN-ONE UNIT IN WHICH THE RADIO GOES OUT AND A/C WILL TURN ON AT RANDOM AND NOT TURN OFF. THE UNIT HAS BEEN COMPLETELY REPLACED ONCE, ONLY FOR THE PROBLEM TO CONTINUE. THE DEFECTIVE DOOR LOCKS AND WINDOW REGULATOR WAS A RESULT OF WIRING ISSUE BCM AND DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY. I HAVE FILED A LEMON LAW SUIT AGAINST CHRYSLER AND BILL LUKE, ONLY TO BE DECLINED AS THEY STATE IT WAS ALL WITHIN WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE IS NOT WORTH NEARLY WHAT I OWE ON IT AND HAS A HUGE LIST OF REPAIRS THAT WOULD REFLECT NEGATIVELY ON CARFAX IN THE EVENT OF TRADE OR RESALE. I HAVE ATTACHED A SUMMARY OF REPAIRS, BUT HAVE ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION, IF NEEDED.

THE 2013 DODGE JOURNEY'S VIN NUMBER IS: 3C4PDCAB9DT2241. THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMISTRATION HAS STATED TO ME THAT THE RECALL FOR THE ENGINES'S COVER RECALL HAS PASSED THE 60 DAY GRACE PERIOD. TO ENSURE SATISFACTORY RECALL PERFORMANCE AND RECTIFICATION I WOULD LIKE FOR THIS VEHICLE TO BE BROUGHT BACK BECAUSE OF THE RECALL AND A HORRENDOUS SMELL THAT STARTED IN 2014 AND CONTINUES TODAY. THE SMELL SO TERRIBLE CONTRIBUTED TO COUGHING, ALLERGIES, SNEEZING AND ITCHING FROM MYSELF AND OTHER PASSENGERS. THE SMELL AS SINCE BEEN DIAGNOSED AGAIN AND AUGUST OF 2015. I HAVE NOT PICKED UP THIS VEHICLE FROM DARCARS OF NEW CARROLLTON BECAUSE OF THE RECALL AND THE SMELL THAT HAS YET BEEN FIXED. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP AT LEAST 17 TIMES, INCLUDING 4 TIMES FOR BRAKES, 4 OR MORE TIMES FOR A SCHEECHING SOUND AND 3 TO 4 TIMES FOR THE SMELL THAT HAS COST MOLDING/MILDOW.

WITHOUT WARNING ONE DAY THE CAR STARTED SMOKING THEN CAUGHT ON FIRE RIGHT WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HWY. I QUICKLY JUMPED OUT ON THE HWY ALMOST INTO TRAFFIC TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM THE SUV THET WITHIN SECONDS QUICKLY ENGULFED INTO FLAMES. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. THE DEALERSHIP MADE NO MENTION ABOUT THE DEFECTS OR REPAIRS. I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAIN/LAWSUIT TO SEEK A FULL REFUND ALONG WITH DAMAGES, PAIN AND SUFFERING.

I REAR-ENDED A DODGE RAM TRUCK. MY ENTIRE FRONT END WAS PUSHED BACK. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AND MY SEAT BELT DIDN'T TIGHTEN. MY CAR WAS TOTALED. MY FACE HIT THE STEERING WHEEL RESULTING IN MY TOOTH GOING INTO MY LIP. I SUSTAINED WHIPLASH AND MY KNEES HIT THE DASHBOARD AND WERE INJURED. LUCKILY I WAS THE ONLY ONE IN MY CAR. CONSIDERING NONE OF THE SAFETY FEATURES OF THE VEHICLE WORKED IT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE.

WHEN SHE WAS DRIVING SHE GOT TO THE TOP OF THE HILL. AND THE CAR SHUT DOWN. SHE HAD NO CONTROL OVER IT ,IT FLIPPED TWICE. AND THEN MONDAY I GET A RECALL NOTICE ON MY WIVES CAR THAT HERS CAN SHUT DOWN. DODGE REALLY NEEDS TO FIND OUT WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE DODGE JOURNEY, I'M FIXING TO GET A LAWYER AND SUE I GUESS IF NO ONE CAN TELL US WHAT'S GOING ON. SHE HADN'T EVEN PAID THE FIRST PAYMENT ON IT YET, KNOW FARM BUREAU WON'T STOP HER PAYMENTS, THIS IS CRAZY THE CAR IS TOTALLED AND COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT WORSE. I WANT SOMETHING DONE IMMEDIATELY BEFORE WE GET A LAWYER ON TO DIDGE!

UPON THE DOOR CLOSING AND LATCHING, THE DRIVERS SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG SELF-DEPLOYED. THIS CAUSED SOME LEFT ARM BRUISING, NECK BURNS AND A DEEP ABRASION ACROSS THE DRIVERS LEFT SIDE NECK. THERE WAS NO IMPACT FROM ANY ANOTHER VEHICLE, NOR DID THE DODGE JOURNEY STRIKE A FIXED OBJECT. THE VEHICLE WAS AT A STANDSTILL WITH THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED, VEHICLE IN PARK, AND THE ENGINE START BUTTON FLASHING BECAUSE THE DRIVER HAD REMOTELY STARTED THE VEHICLE.

2013 DODGE JOURNEY WAS LEASED NEW, WITH KUMHO SOLUS KH16 TIRES FROM THE FACTORY. VEHICLE WERE INFLATED WITH NITROGEN AND VALVE STEMS CAPPED WITH SIGNIFYING GREEN CAPS. WINTER ENSUED AND NOTICED THAT PRESSURE WAS DECREASING IN ONE OF THE TIRES. UNABLE TO LOCATE A NITROGEN SERVICE, WAS FORCED TO INFLATE WITH AIR. AFTER ABOUT A WEEK, FOUND SAME TIRE TO STILL BE LOSING AIR; DUE TO THE CONTINUING SUB ZERO TEMPS, I FIGURED IT WAS NORMAL COLD WEATHER PRESSURE LOSS. STILL LOSING PRESSURE, REMOVED TIRE AND FOUND A LEAK IN THE TREAD, TIRE WAS PLUGGED, INFLATED, LEAK CHECKED AND PLACED BACK IN SERVICE. DURING THE 2014 AND 2015 WINTERS, ALL TIRES REQUIRED FREQUENT AIR SERVICE, BUT NEVER REQUIRED A PRESSURE REDUCTION. MAY 2015 THE ONE CULPRIT TIRE WAS REQUIRING WEEKLY AIR SERVICE AND BY JULY, THE TIRE WAS ROUTINELY FOUND FLAT IN THE MORNING. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL TIRE SHOP AND THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE TIRE WAS NOT LEAKING FROM THE PATCH, BUT WAS HOWEVER LEAKING FORM THE INNER SIDEWALL WHERE THERE WAS A SIGNIFICANT BULGE AND BELT SEPARATION. THEY IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE TIRE OUT OF SERVICE AND INSPECTED THE OTHER THREE, THEY FOUND BULGES IN TWO OF THE OTHER TIRES SIDEWALL'S AND RECOMMENDED REPLACING ALL FOUR AT 20,000 MILES. THEY INDICATED THAT THEY HAD STOPPED CARRYING KUMHO'S BECAUSE OF THE QUALITY ISSUES. THIS IS A 60,000 MILE RATED TIRE WITH AN OBVIOUS ENGINEERING FLAW. IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY.

I CALLED DODGE AND WAS TOLD THAT LIGHTING BOLT IS THE ELECTRICAL THROTTLE CONTROL. I WENT ON LINE AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR DODGE VEHICLE. WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN AN RECALL REGARDING THIS PROBLEM? ARE THEY WAITING FOR SOME TRAGIC ACCIDENTS FIRST, THEN LAWSUITS? DODGE TOLD ME THE COST TO FIX WOULD BE $400-$600. I JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN MAY OF 2014, DODGE SHOULD STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT AND FIX THIS FOR FREE. THIS IS A DODGE PRODUCT FAILURE AND NOTHING THAT I DID WRONG.

A GLAZE IS FORMING ON THE BRAKES.

GLOVE BOX ILLUMINATION LIGHT STAYS ON. THE SWITCH DOES WORK WHEN DEPRESSED BY HAND, HOWEVER, THE GLOVE BOX DOES NOT SIT HIGH ENOUGH WHEN LATCHED TO DEPRESS THE SHUTOFF SWITCH FAR ENOUGH TO TURN OFF THE LIGHT. ATTEMPTED SEVERAL FIXES SUCH AS AN EMPTY GLOVE BOX TO NO AVAIL. THE ONLY TEMPORARY SOLUTION IS CLOSING THE GLOVE BOX WITH AN OBJECT BETWEEN THE SWITCH AND THE GLOVE BOX TO SHUT OFF THE LIGHT. THE LIGHT HAD BEEN ILLUMINATED FOR A VERY LONG TIME WHEN I NOTICED IT, AND WITH THE LIGHT BEING AN INCANDESCENT IT WAS VERY HOT. LIKELY TO START A FIRE IF A USER STORES NAPKINS OR OTHER PAPER PRODUCTS IN THE GLOVE BOX AND THEY REACH THE LIGHT AREA, WHICH CAN BE REACHED BY HAND WITH THE BOX OPEN.

EXISTING PROBLEM ~DOORS WILL NOT UNLOCK.SOMETIMES I CANNOT GET IN MY VEHICLE, THEN SOMETIMES THE PERSONS IN BACK SEAT CANNOT GET OUT.

I BELIEVE OUR DODGE JOURNEY IS EITHER A 2013 OR 2014. I LOOKED & I COULD NOT FIND A RECALL FOR THE RED REAR BRAKE LIGHT COVER.
