Tl the contact owns a 2009 Dodge Journey. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, the contact had to depress the brake pedal to the floorboard and shift the vehicle into gear while the brake pedal was being depressed for the vehicle to start. The contact stated that the stability control and brake warning lights were illuminated. Additionally, the vehicle experienced failures with the intake and transmission. The contact was concerned that the vehicle would independently shift to second gear or to the park position. The contact stated that the vehicle was restarted to be able to shift gears. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed nor repaired. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer were made aware of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 138,000.
All of the buttons stopped working in the driver's side door, along with the two back doors. The windows, locks, etc do not work because of this. The airbag light keeps turning off and on. Now all of the wiring is acting like it is messed up. The brake lights keep coming on, the car randomly won't start, the overhead light comes on when the right blinker is used. Now the car won't shift out of park 8/10 tries. The car also acts like it loses power randomly while driving in town. These problems have been listed as recalls, yet my car is not on the list.
My 2009 Dodge se Journey has had several problems including some under open recall,electrical recall. However my brakes are very bad,abs light and brake light frequently come on and off. The brakes act as if I have no brakes or pressure, until they are half way down then they over engage causing the vehicle to suddenly stop or significantly slow at unsafe pace. I have contacted Chrysler there is no recall at this time. This is an unsafe vehicle all around and complete recall should be in effect. This problem has occurred since we purchased the vehicle and has not stopped.
Brakes were not working like they should going down a hill. Tried to slow down and stop and I keep going. Brake light came on!.
Dealer said front brakes needed replaced due to wear on 3-15-12. I had the work done. Thereafter a loud chatter noise comes when brakes are lightly applied, such as slowing for a red light, approaching a stop sign, pulling into driveway garage, etc. The longer the distance driven, the louder the noise gets. Today (4-3-13) I have returned the car to the dealer for the 6th time for the same issue. The problem has never been resolved. I must drive from florida to ohio on may 4th, 2013, and am quite concerned about the possibility of brake failure on such a long distance. I am a 68 year widow on a fixed income. This has been a nightmare situation for me.
