Interior Lighting problem #1

Dec. 29th 2010. I have a 2010 Dodge Journey r/t. It is not even a year old. It has taken me several times to turn the car on each time I get in the car. It stalls while I am driving. The lights on the dash and nav flash on and off for some crazy reason. The alignment is and has always been off. The car moves toward the right. The steering wheel shakes when I slow down. Now the brakes are making noises. I have taken it to two dealerships to be serviced numerous times and they can not find anything wrong. The dealership where I bought it has left my car on empty(the gas) after it has been serviced. The dealership contacted Dodge(that is what the service manager said) over a month ago, and stated that they were waiting on a part to put a device on my car to figure out what is wrong. I have called twice and the service department & they will not call me back. So I guess I have to drive around a car that is dangerous and Dodge is doing nothing. I do not accept this!!!! something needs to be done. If the service dept. Won't call me what am I to do. And the warning screen for the nav. Doesn't come up when I turn the car on. So I guess Dodge can risk that liability too. I guess it will take someone being injured to get their attention.

Interior Lighting problem #2

I have a 2009 Dodge Journey r/t which has led courtesy lamps over head and under the dash on both sides as well as a rear dome. The overhead dome and front led's are controlled by opening the doors as most courtesy lamps are. However the under the dash courtesy lamps are controlled with the dash instrumentation lamps, therefore when you drive with the headlamps on, they are also on. This makes driving at night very difficult as the inside of the vehicle is illuminated, causing glare and poor visibility outside of the vehicle. I have returned the vehicle to the dealer on several occasions, as of Friday 6/26/09 they now inform me that is the way it is made and can't be changed. This is dangerous and unacceptable.
