Steering Noise Problems of Dodge Journey

This vehicle has electrical issues. The doors lock automatically when the tailgate is opened. The radio and climate control come on by themselves even after turning it off multiple times. The steering makes a whining noise especially when you are turning to the left. The awd and traction control is off and the service awd light comes on. The cruise control stopped working when there was a loud "thump" in the rear end and all the traction and awd dashboard lights came on. All these problems are evident and occur while driving.

Upon start up in extreme cold, vehicle made loud noises when the steering wheel was turned. While driving, the steering became increasingly more difficult when turning the steering wheel (specifically when exiting the highway). When I arrived home, I opened the hood and checked the engine compartment and noticed fluid on the passenger side of the engine compartment, near the bottom of the engine. It was red in color and determined to be power steering fluid. Upon research, I discovered that this make/model and year has a recall (NHTSA campaign #16v273000) but my VIN in particular does not appear to be a part of it.

Driver side front window/locks/mirror controls don't work. Rear window controls do work on driver side. Locks and passenger window controls work on passenger side. All is exactly as in safety recall k07-front door wiring harness (stopped with model year 2009) so why is my exact problem (2010) shared by so many other 2010s on the internet, too? I am frustrated. Mechanic cannot find problem. Considering buying a new master switch for driver door-others say replacing it didn't work! it's a known problem-symptoms exact and to the "t". . . Recall window cutoff too soon!!! was notified of ignition/key fobick recall, thankfully! car occasionally almost dies, chugs, and keeps running. Car starts and runs great-intermittent almost dying thing always out of the blue! not notified about high pressure power steering hose leaking problem-just paid to have that replaced. Power steering makes terrible noise when turned to right. Suspension rattles like a box of bones! what next? I'm getting the sense that this vehicle isn't safe to drive (esp. W/my son in the car)! diagnostics and repair bills and quotes really starting to stack up-the more I look into this 2010 Dodge Journey regarding my problems, seeing so many others with same exact problems-really surprised that the recall list isn't more than it is! how many people have to live through the same poor quality issues before the manufacturer takes care of these sometimes seemingly pandemic problems??? started before 116,000 miles - now 120,115 miles.

Recently purchased 2009 Dodge Journey, has a scraping noise in the steering, intermittent, louder at times than other when turning, returned to dealership who refused to make any repairs even though they confessed to having heard sound. My concern is it may lock up while turning and resulting in an accident. Had less than 36,000 miles when first reported.
