Had not started the vehicle for 1 week. With fob in hand I opened the door. With door open I put my foot on the brake (it did not compress), then pushed the start button. The dash flashed on and off saying fob not detected. Tried pushing fob, tried starting car again. Then a loud clicking began at the front of the vehicle in the motor area. The dash flashing stopped and all screens were black. No power to vehicle at all, door locks did not work. Opened hood to see where clicking was coming from, but could not detect. Tried remote start and traditional start as well. Nothing works. Engine clicking finally stopped after about 10-15 minutes. Car has to be opened with the key and will still not start.
The vehicle is inoperable because the abs module and headlamp wiring needs to be replaced. The vehicle only has 13,000 miles but is no longer covered under a warranty. There was a recall for Dodge Journey but this VIN is not covered by the recall. Are there more vehicles that should be added to the recall?.
I am experiencing intermittent issues with the illumination of tne interior lighting to include the 4. 3-inch touch screen display, the ts display has at times not illumintated for up to a full minute. Also at times the interior lighting will dim for no reason, no external lighting has changed to cause this to happen. Uconnect often will have issues with connecting to phone. The illumination issues occur either after the vehicle has just been started or it has occured while driving. We are also expereincing issues with the brake being difficult to press down on when attempting to start the vehicle, either with the remote start or without. We recently have taken in the vehicle to have it inspected and they did not see any issues. . Read more...
