Tl- the contact owns a 2012 Dodge Journey. The contact stated that the abs and the traction control warning lights intermittently illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer (ville platte Dodge,1320 w main st, ville platte, la 70586, (337) 363-6627) who indicated that they serviced the vehicle for a manufacturer recall concerning the brakes and within a week the contact noticed an abnormal noise and the brakes had failed to function properly when applied. The vehicle as taken to the dealer more than twice and they had been unable to replicate and diagnose the vehicle after several test drives. The vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign numbers: 15v675000 (electronic stability control, service brakes, hydraulic), 15v431000 (engine and engine cooling) but was uncertain if the dealer remedied the recall repairs which was very unacceptable for the contact because the brakes had not functioned properly. The manufacturer was notified of the failure to determine if they may be able to provide a repair solution to the dealer. The approximate failure mileage was not available. Parts distribution disconnect. Dyd.
On 5/10/2014 drving as normal my car begin to make a loud noise and the check engine light blinked on and off a couple of times then went out. But the motor dound like it was idling louder n louder. Once I got homeall the dealership were closed do I had to wait until Monday. So once I get up yo drive on Monday no issues at all. But the drive was very rugged. So I took my car in even though no lights are on and the couldn't detect anything wrong. Pick my car up drove ok until I went to work the next day light back on now im at a point where I don't kmow what else to do. So today to my car in was advised that they updated my computer system in the car. But now I don't know what's wrong. Transmission? tune up? or just a bad car. And if there is a recall that was placed out before ibought my car I need it fixed.
