Adaptive Equipment Problems of Dodge Journey

I received a recall notice for my vehicle back in 2013 or 2014 regarding the wireless ignition node (win) module. Chrysler recall number l25 NHTSA recall number 11v-139. Recall date March 1, 2011. I have had my vehicle completely shut off on several different occasions which has almost gotten me in a wreck. I have been fortunate to be able to get out of the way of traffic but the last two times this has happened I was barely able to avoid an accident. One time I was driving on a toll road in austin, texas and going over a bridge and had to pull as close to the center cement wall as possible and restart my vehicle and hurry to get out of traffic before I was hit. This last time that it happened I was driving on my way to work on again a busy 4 lane road and was able to pull into an entrance of an apartment complex and restart my vehicle. Both times it has been a close call. My local Dodge dealership keeps telling me that there is currently no replacement part available. This is becoming very frustrating and also very scary at the same time. Can you please advise me as to when this replacement part might be available. Like it said I have.

Have had the hood release next ot the parking brake pedal. Open the hood without notification. The brake pedal is to close in proximity to the hood latch. Each time you release the parking brake the hood releases.

Heater went out in the winter. Went to dealer and told me it was the heater core. Due to this I could not get the heater core replaced at the time because the part is on back order by 125. So this seems to be a problem with more than 1 vehicle so need to check into this more but I believe that it should be a recall part.

I am not reporting an accident . . . Yet. I was driving on residential street about 35 mph when the "airbag warning light" came on. Thereafter it came on each time I started my car and started to drive. Contacted nearest dealer and was told that my vehicle was not apart of the recall ( 09v118000), although the recall named 2009 Dodge Journeys. They wanted me to pay to have it checked! I then called Chrysler corp and spoke with a rep who also stated that my vehicle was not apart of the recall. It appears to me that it should have been since I never had this type of issue before with any of the approx. 7 vehicles I have purchased over the last 50 years. I drive to California at least 3 times each year and various locations within the state of arizona. I want Chrysler to contact the bill-luke dealership and have them check my electrical system and fix the problem, at Chrysler's expense. I am sure I am not the only owner who has this complaint.

In June of 2013 my car alarm started to come on radomly. First while car was in parked position. Days after it then started sounding while driving, leaving my then 6 year olds hestirical. It was happening so much that we took out the fuses. In Nov 2014, while entering the interstate exit my car shut off going 35mph around a deep curve. I lost all control of steering and acceleration, brakes locked up. I was able to force steer to shoulder and turn car off and back on. It ran ok until a couple weeks later it did it again. Coming home off interstate w/ kids in car, car shut off while going 40 mph in mid curve! now beginning Feb 2015, my battery goes dead repeatedly. I've had to have it jumped off almost every morning for last month. I took it to auto store and battery tested good. March 2015, battrry going dead again. Ive had accredited mechanic look at it who tested everything along w/ relays. He stated battery was good but basically alarm, although it's not heard, its still waking up and drain battery. He couldn't go beyond this point to fix because he believed it's something in computer system? I took to dealer and after I explained everything to them & been without a car for week, they insisted it battery was bad. So we have replaced battery, yet they did not address radom alarm/horn. So I took back same dat to address this issue b/c it will continue. They now are suggesting to replace horn switch of which after looking at other consumers I don't think will fix the problem. There is something in the cars computer triggering the alarm but for some reason they refuse to check that. I'm not sure if it's just because they can't get as much money from resetting computer or not. I know I don't have money to throw away on trail & error. With all the complaints on this I can't figure out how the dealers/company Chrysler Dodge Jeep doesn't have a solution.

I have also been dealing with this same issue for the past 6-8 months and based on other complaints I have read I am not the only one. . The electrical randomly goes out while driving. Sometimes it will come back on its own but most of the time I have to pull over to turn car off and restart. Windows, blinkers, ac, radio, wipers, hazards, and exterior brake lights, etc go out. (I do not lose control of driving but fear that is what is next, based on other people's complaints of similar issues). The dealership cant find the problem, couldn't replicate issue (had turned off car despite my telling them it works after restarted), and told me to bring it back next time happens so they can see (as if they didn't believe me). . I have bought back again. Only have approximately 3,000 miles left on the extended warranty- seems they are waiting warranty out. This is a possible dangerous situation that can claim lives, if someone doesn't see me braking, trying to turn, wipers wouldn't work during a rain downpour once. . Dodge needs to address this as a whole!!.

The car alarm will go off sporadically, not honking consistently. It has gone off while driving the car as well! the key fob won't turn it off so I would go pull out the horn fuses under the hood. The alarm will still go off without the horn fuses. It is obvious because the lights will flicker, as if the alarm is going off, and a clicking noise of the alarm being activated is heard. Don't know what to do and it is annoying having to drive around without my horn working! when the alarm goes off, we are not accidentally pressing the key fob buttons. Again, when the horn honks during alarm activation, it is a sporadic honking likes the car is possessed, rather than a consistent honk. Please help!.

Purchased 2009 Dodge Journey in September. The first weekend after purchasing the vehicle I loaded my canoe onto the roofrack. About 45 minutes into the trip the roof rack ripped out of the roof of the vehicle. Lost the canoe luckily there was little traffic and nobody was hurt. After further inspection realized Dodge used self-tapping screws instead of bolts on the roof rack. This is a very dangerous condition. I contacted my dealership and they told me self-tapping screws is standard on all Dodge roof racks and the roof racks were not designed to carry anything besides luggage boxes. I filed a complaint with Dodge about this and they came back with the same answer over a month later. Today I received an estimate for the damage totaling just over $2700. However that is nothing compared to what could have happened if it would have broke 20 minutes earlier while I was driving faster on the interstate with heavy traffic.
