3 Starter Solenoid problem of the 2010 Dodge Journey

Failure Date: 08/29/2013

Tried starting my 2010 Dodge Journey after work one evening and it wouldn't start. Got a boost to my battery and it didn't work, the vehicle stalled 3 times in one day. After looking on line I saw numerous people has the same issue. Came across the solenoid crank starter fuse replaced, and to my surprise the issue was fixed until a week. At the apple orchard with a car full of people and my car wouldn't start! finally got my car to an auto parts store, and thought possibly I had a bad sensor and got that replaced. My car is still having the same issue, and it starts right away in the a. M. Everyday for a week in the mornings it starts but stalled after I picked my son up from school and was stuck there for two hours! I don't know what to do, I googled the problem and its sad how many people are dealing with the same problem. And I thought I was getting a good reliable car for my family. . I purchased this vehicle February 2013, someone please help.

4 Starter Solenoid problem of the 2009 Dodge Journey

Failure Date: 07/09/2010

As I was driving my 2009 Dodge Journey on the highway going 70 mph it stuttered and hesitated to pick up speed. I proceeded to get on an off ramp I could not pick up speed to avoid being hit by other cars catching up to me!! luckily I made it to my destination safely!! the check engine light comes on shortly afterwards1 I took it to the dealer to find out what the problem is, they haven't properly diagnosed it right yet!! the car still dies on me while driving!!! by the way I had the car for 6 months and 50,000 miles!!! Dodge really needs to fix this problem with their creation of death!!! hopefully they will before someone dies in a car crash because their car went from 70 mph to 0 in 60 seconds!!! I took it to a repair shop and a Dodge dealership the repair shop says it needs a whole new computer the dealer say it's a bad solenoid!!! I don't know what it is and I should have to pay for Dodge bad build of this vehicle with money or my life!!!.
