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.
The driver's side window switch will not operate the front windows or side mirrors but does operate the back windows. The air bag light is also illuminated on the instrument panel. I've been researching about the fault and found out there was a recall about the wiring harness. I need the proper paperwork or steps to get this problem and recall fixed. Thanks.
I have had nothing but problems since day one of buying this car. Intermittently lags or does not start for long periods of time. Radio goes in and out lights come on and off while driving. Sometime the brake lights work sometimes they dont no one knows why. Got stuck in a parking garage for nine hours one day because the car lost all power could not put it into neutral and I could not find a tow truck small enough to tow me out. Then 9 hours later it started. Now I smell burning under the dash and my ac only works on the passenger side while the driver side blows out hot. There is definitely something wrong with the wiring of this car. This car has been to the dealership over 20 time under warranty for almost all the same problem with jo resolve. They cant recreation the problems so I pay deductables and rental car fees to get back the same broken car.

The contact owns a 2009 Dodge Journey. The contact stated that the front driver's side door wiring harness failed, the wires prematurely shorted, and the electrical function panel failed to operate. The dealer diagnosed that there were loose and fractured wires, and the front driver's side wires and harness needed to be replaced. The dealer and manufacturer stated that the vehicle was not included NHTSA campaign number: 10v658000 (electrical system). The manufacturer provided no solution. The approximate failure mileage was 182,000.
Multiple buttons on the drivers side door panel suddenly stopped working (front windows, side mirror positioning, and lock/unlock button) without any trauma/manipulation except for back windows buttons which still work. Upon further investigation, numerous consumers had similar complaints which were found to be due to faulty front door wiring harnesses that were replaced under Chrysler safety recall "k07". However, my vehicle was not included in the manufacturing dates specified by the recall despite identical symptoms. I believe that the inability to adjust my side mirrors and lock/unlock the vehicle qualifies my situation as a safety hazard and therefore my vehicle should be covered under the k07 recall issued by Chrysler.

My name is [xxx] and I am complaining about my 2009 Dodge Journey r/t awd. First the electrical system or wiring harness has a severe problem. It does not want to start like it should. I've been through 2 good interstate batteries in the last 2 years that have not seemed to work. Next and the most dangerous is the braking system which is to small for this vehicle. From what I have researched they used a braking system from a Dodge magnum(in the series 1 from 2008-2012) when it should have been used from an SUV. The rotors where out after 9000 miles while the front pads go after 3000-4000 miles. Leaving the back brake pads with the longest life of around 5000 miles this is with aggressive or non-aggressive driving it doesn't matter. This kind of brake and rotor wear and tear is nowadays unheard of. This kind of vehicle is unsafe and very expensive for the average american vehicle owner. These vehicles are as plain as day as much of a lemon as they come. Between the electrical or ignition problems that are as plain as day and can not be fixed by your average mechanic and thousands of dollars. Also the breaking system which is to small that also can't be fixed without many thousand dollars worth of parts and labor. Not to mention the thousands that have already been put into these problems that did not fix for long. The only other thing that I feel that can happen is for there to be a recall by Dodge. To fix the electrical-ignition problem and to have a bigger breaking system put on like they did the (series 2 Journey from 2012 on till now). And the braking issues are better. So if they can do it now why can they fix the series 1. I think it's a combination of laziness and greediness with there money. Pleas help my vehicle right along with the other tens of thousands who have the same problems. Don't let Dodge get away with this and help make these problems an active recall !! information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
Dodge has a recall (Dodge recall: safety recall k07 / NHTSA recall: 10v658000) concerning the wiring harness in the front door, which may break and could cause the airbag light to turn on as the sensor would not be connected. My Dodge Journey has this issue with the wiring harness, but Dodge will not fix it as my 2009 Journey is not listed under that recall for some reason.
My car has been having trouble starting for some time now, which good thing I called the manufacturers and was informed of the recall. Was not informed any other way though. ? a little concerning? I called them because a couple of months ago my back passenger side door just stopped locking and unlocking. Then so did the back hatch door. It only unlocks after I sit there and either manually unlock it or eventually get it to go by pushing the button a dozen times. I'm worried my daughter is going to get locked in or open the door while the car is moving. Or much worse the airbags are not going to go off if an accident happens because something is obviously wrong with their wiring. Something needs to be done about this before children are the ones getting hurt.

Dear sir or madam: I took my car into the dealership October 30, 2013 for a routine inspection and I was told by the service manager that whole car was wired wrong and my vehicle would not pass inspection. I was told that this issues was aslo affecting my brake & back up light. I was told that all my lights remained lit and appeared to stay on so it looked as if I was always breaking & backing up. Needless to say I had to pay to get this issue fixed. I was looking for other recall issues because I received a notice about the ignition and notice there was an issue listed in regards to the wiring also.
Since replacing the win in oct. 2010, fob unlock button sets off alarm instead. In the past six months the car has randomly stalled immediately upon starting. In these same six months, the car has stalled randomlly while driving-- various speeds and road conditions. It is scary to drive a car that loses all power for no apparent reason! win module was replaced 6/21/2012-- second replacement in 1-1/2 years. I wonder if ts is a problem with the overall car wiring or the win modules.
2009 Dodge Journey sxt. In the year I have owned it, I have replaced brakes twice, as rite now I am replacing them cause they started squeaking a week ago and today they locked up. Also replacing one of the calipers. Any time I take a hard left turn, there is a loud grinding noise. I have replaced the tires already, and have had to replace the rear 2 again recently. Any time I go to brake when going over 40 mph, the steering wheel shakes uncontrollably. I have also recieved a recall from a local dealership for a wiring harness in drivers side. When I went in to dealership, they put it on order and said they would call when it came in, but never did. That was 6 months ago.

2009 Dodge Journey. Consumer writes in regards to repairs to left front door wiring harness. The dealer found a wiring short in the door.
I purchased a 2009 Dodge Journey in August of 2008. I have had repeated problems with rotor and brake wear. The rotors have been replaced twice and all 4 brakes have been replaced twice with the front being replaced 3 times. Tje first of which occured just past 12,000 miles. This is when brake and rotor wear warranty ends. I have also had signifigant problems with the wiring senser module, resulting in stability control and anti-lock brake light to come one. I also have power ports in the vehicle that do not work as well as a lift gate that does not lock. I currently have 48,000 miles on the vehicle and now have issues with leaking. I am unsure how water is entering the vehicle, possibly thru the air conditioning drainage system. The entire drivers side floor boards are wet as well as the built in cooler behind the drivers seat being completely filled with water within several days of emptying. This occurs when it is not raining or wet outside. I now have mold issues in the vehicle. Myself and my children have signifigant allergies and asthma. This vehicle is unsafe to drive. The electrical problems resulting in air bag failure are definatly scary.
