1 Wiring problem

Failure Date: 05/05/2020

My whole steering column is causing problems from airbags, my wipers not working now, speed-control wont work. , traction control . Causing my car to swerve out of control and causing my car to almost rollover as it went into oncoming traffic, I keep having to change my tires including the back tires the most. The car was in motion when this happened. The light is on the dash, but no one will fix it, I have a son who is 14 years old I bought the car because I thought it would be dependable. My son has to have a live and kidney transplant. The car is still under 100,000 ,miles. So you can imagine when I found all this out. They said or the dealer said that the car does have recalls but wont fix them, I was told that there is a wiring harness problem. Please help, thank you ,katina adams 870-204-1402 there are still other issues not listed above. The car is leaking oil around the oil pan. I am shocked as I have always been a Dodge lover.

2 Wiring problem

Failure Date: 01/28/2019

The rear hatch wires that connect to the hatch are all frayed and or broken causing sparks and non functioning hatch lock switch, brake light problems, and dangerous! the problem is Dodge cheaper out on the wires they used and they fall apart and break also they aren't long enough. My other issue is the wipers are noisy no matter what brand used and I mean really loud, lastly the wiper spray nozzle on back doesn't spray the one on the hood broke off and the rear wiper doesn't wipe the whole windshield neither does the front wipers! the main issue is the cheap electrical wiring on this car it easily breaks off and falls apart within 5 years the wires are no longer useable! Dodge needs to recall the wiring 100%.

My rear windshield wiper died on my 2013 Dodge Journey over a year ago, I was told by Dodge that I needed a new motor, so I purchased one on my own, and it didn't work. So I researched this issue to find out that, it was a wiring harness that was cut from rear door opening and closing I found out that there are a lot of people that has the same issue this issue showed exposed wiring. Every time witch could.

4 Wiring problem

Failure Date: 05/25/2018

For over 2 years I've tried various things to get my reverse lights to work. Checked fuses, checked the bulbs. One day my reverse lights stopped working, my hatch stopped locking and unlocking while all other doors complied. And some of my brake lights stopped working. After vigorously youtubing, I found a video on changing the liftgate wiring. Where I found my issue. This is a serious fire hazard!! when I removed the wiring harness, 4 of my wires looked as though they had been cut. No wonder things weren't working. . After using electrical connectors and electrical tape my reverse lights are now fixed. However, knowing I could've died in a car fire just doesn't sit well for me and my children.
