Abs Brake Fail Problems of Dodge Journey

Past 2-3 years whenever it rains abs and esc light come on and brakes fail to work properly. Once quits raining, after no more than 24-48 hours lights go off and everything functions fine until rains again. Recently there was no rain from January to mid June and I traveled from florida to ohio and back with no problem. Then it rained, abs and esc back on. Vehicle was recalled Dodge #r61 for this exact issue and the dealer stated performed recall. That did not correct problem. I contacted Dodge and was given a case number. I took to dealer after it had rained and they confirmed abs and esc light were on and pulled code when I dropped off stating abs module failure which is the part that fails in r61 when it rains. The next day it did not rain and dealer states abs and esc light off and there were no codes indicating no problem. They say they do not know how to repair and state Dodge told them it was out of warranty. I pointed out no expiration on recall and they have stated they don't know how to fix and don't know how to get paid for repairs if could find problem. Note: the r61 states it does not apply to right hand drive fiat freemont because the water intrusion to abs ground wire occurs when rain runs off passenger windshield and soaks ground wire and the right hand drive vehicles have ground wire that is culprit on drivers side and water from rain does not affect those wires. In 2016 they announced they were recalling 152,000 right hand drive Dodge Journeys (fiat freemont) without explanation however this appears to be clear proof they do not know how or where water is entering abs wiring system.
