Turn Signal problems of the 2009 Dodge Journey

Symptoms – dangerous malfunction critical component failure – wipers constantly on slow speed, even in driving rain. No rear wiper. No turn signals engine rough and limited to ~2,500 rpm. No horn. Left signal initiated by driver in vehicle#1 when turning left in front of other driver vehicle#2, no left signal light resulted; driver in veh#2 presumed veh#1 was proceeding straight and pulled out; result was near miss frontal collision. Right steering column stalk - front windshield wipers constantly on, can not shut off. No ww washer activation. No wiper speed control – almost like default: lowest continuous operation (not intermittent and not high speed). No rear ww wiper and wash operation either. Left steering column stalk - no turn signals, no bright lights, no dash light control. Most dash gauges do work except navigation compass. No horn, engine limited to about 2,500 rpm – rough acceleration even with all the rr wiper ff wiper and washer fuses removed, front wipers and lights still continuously ‘on’. All fuses, relays, electrical grounds, and both multifunction switches checked and good. Malfunctions were sudden, abrupt, and first time experience after normal starting of this vehicle.

Tl the contact owns a 2009 Dodge Journey. The contact stated that the brake lights failed intermittently. Additionally, the horn activated independently, the right turn signal was inoperable, and the tailgate failed to operate as designed. The contact also stated that the vehicle stalled while stationary and idling. The contact who works as a certified mechanic diagnosed the vehicle with a failure of the tipm. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 115,000.

This is not the first time this has happened. My windshield wipers come on by themselves and will not turn off, had to remove fuse. As I was driving home from work they came on and wouldn't turn off. Then the turn signals, headlights, and dashboard lights stopped working. This car has a mind of its own and these work when they feel like it; meaning they come and go, working one second then not the next, then working again. . . . Usually they don't work and stop for a long period of time then eventually work again like nothing happened. This time I'm not so sure how long it is going to go on because it is worse and ongoing. I am finding just how dangerous it is not to be able to use turn signals, etc. I am unable to drive to work now because of the headlights! and now the rain is coming in and I am not going to be able to drive without headlights or wipers. There should be a recall on this - there are sooo many complaints! if something happens to me or my children or grandchildren there will be a lawsuit filed as there is no reason for this not to be recalled with all the complaints and danger it entails. Complaints I have read are about air bags not deploying, cars stalling in the middle of driving down the road, etc. This is totally absurd!!!!! and as bad as my car is getting these problems won't be far behind. I do not have the money to dole out for this being a single mom as it is a costly fix, which is exactly why they refuse to recall I am sure!!.
