There are 2 different problems I have been dealing with since day one of owning my Dodge Journey. The first being electrical, my clock runs fast because of the power flow to it. I have 2 power outlets in my car that do not work properly and 1 of them the dealership in florida messed up to fix one of the electrical problems. The second issue is when I accelerate my transmission clicks, I was pretty much told I was crazy by the dealership that they couldn't duplicate the noise and now that I do not have a warranty they are reporting it to me and want me to pay. The last and final issue is my brakes I have had my brake booster replaced and my break master cylinder and I still keep losing my brakes. If I have to slam on my brakes or put any real pressure my brakes go soft and to the floor. Both of these parts were replaced by the dealership and they were just guessing on what was wrong and they didn't correct the problem.
