Ignition Module Problems of Dodge Journey - part 2

The win module (wireless ignition node - part # 05026875) has been failing for several weeks and finally died completely. A new one has been ordered however it is on back order. The dealership actually has 5 other Journeys waiting for the same part. This has also been an issue with other models for this part. It should be recalled due to its continued failure.

While driving along, navigational systems went blank, radio/phone/etc went dead, and turn signals became inoperable (was able to use emergency flashers to warn other drivers while changing lanes). Brought to dealer, was found to be ignition module does not work properly so key ends up in invalid position - causing system functions to not operate. There was a recall for this ignition switch, in which they p,laced spacers to keep the switch from actually turning the car off, but apparently, it does not actually fix the problem of the key going into the wrong position, just reduces it's range. The manufacturer charged to replace the defective ignition module.

Issues with starting car, erratic dashboard lights, and flickering power drops when vehicle is in motion. This is related to the ignition key and the ignition switch (win module) it's inserted to. When the car won't start you have to move the key around in the ignition switch to get it to finally start the car. I've taken it to the dealership on a few occasions and had them look at this problem. Most of the time they could not find anything. On one occasion they changed out the battery. That did not help. This issue has happened rarely back when the car had approximately 50,000 miles on it. Now it has 140,000, and happens quite often. I'm worried it might shut off driving in traffic and cause a major safety issue regarding my wife, child, and anyone else around the vehicle. I'm also worried, especially late at night at her jobs parking lot, it will leave her stranded due to the car not starting.

I am the second owner of a 2010 Dodge Journey (bought in 2011). The original owners traded it in after not owning it a year. I was not told that it was already having problems until I met one of the mechanics at the Dodge dealership when I brought it in for ignition problems. He told me that he knew I would be back. The ignition recall has been completed twice on my vehicle. I still have the not starting issue that I have seen in other complaints. I am also experiencing the electrical problems that I am reading about here. No power to the dash, windshield wipers, or windows. This just isn't a safe situation. I have had a computer module replaced, but that didn't correct the problem. The dealership can never find the problem. Now I am out of warranty (80,000) and the problem is still happening and getting worse. My car has stopped while going down the road twice. Luckily I was able to pull off and restart. Something needs to be done about these problems. I have not notified Dodge directly, but have been to my Dodge dealership several times with the same complaints. Nothing seems to get fixed.
