12-26 2014 I OPENED UP A CASE NUMBER [XXX] NO ONE ANSWERED ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME. 03-05-2015 I OPENED UP ANOTHER CASE NUMBER [XXX] 06-20-2014 I RECEIVED A IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL NOTICE WHICH STATES.... THE PROBLEM IS... UPON STATING YOUR VEHICLE THE FREQUENCY OPERATED BUTTON IGNITION KEY (FOBIK), MAY NOT FULLY SEAT IN THE "ON" POSITION. IF NOT FULLY SEATED, UNDER OPERATING CONDITIONS (FOR EXAMPLE BUMPY ROADS) THE FOBIK COULD INADVERTENTLY MOVE TO THE "ACCESSORY" MODE. THIS COULD CAUSE UNINTENDED ENGINE SHUT OFF AND THE PASSIVE RESTRAINT SYSTEMS, INCLUDING THE AIRBAGS TO SHUT OFF. THIS COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH UNDER CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS AND INCREASE THE RISK OF OCCUPANT INJURY DURING A CRASH. WHAT WE MUST DO TO ENSURE YOUR SAFETY... ONCE YOU RECEIVE YOUR FOLLOW UP MAIL IN THE SIMPLY CONTACT CHRYSLER WHICH I DID. UNTIL THIS REPAIR IS COMPLETED THE VEHICLE CAN BE DRIVEN. HOWEVER, AS A PRECAUTION ALL DRIVERS ARE ADVISED TO REMOVE ALL ALL OBJECTS FROM THE FOBIK (SUCH AS KEY CHAINS, ADDITIONAL KEYS). AND ENSURE THAT THE FOBIK IS SECURELY AND CORRECTLY ALIGNED IN THE "ON" POSITION AND NOT ALIGNED BETWEEN THE "ON" AND "ACCESSORY" POSITION BEFORE THE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. PLEASE HELP ME GET MY CAR FIXED. I AM VERY UPSET IT HAS TOOK OVER A YEAR TO RESOLVE. I BOUGHT MY BRAN NEW CAR OFF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR AND THEY CANNOT FIX IT FOR ME TO KEEP ME AND MY FAMILY SAFE ON THE ROADWAYS. I HAVE TO PAY A LOT OF MONEY EVERY YEAR KEEPING MY UPKEEP ON THE CAR TO MAKE AND KEEP IT SAFE (BECAUSE ITS THE LAW)! BUT YET CHRYSLER CAN KEEP PUMPING OUT NEW VEHICLES OFF THEIR PRODUCTION LINES BUT CANT SEEM TO TAKE PRODUCTION OFF THAT LINE TO BUILD THESE COMPONENTS THAT WE NEED FOR OUR VEHICLES! THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!! I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT AGAIN, NOR WILL MY FAMILY!!! PLEASE HELP!

HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED ON THE RECALL.THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 117,000.

ON SEVERAL OCCASION MY CAR WOULD NOT START - I WOULD SIT SOMETIMES FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES BEFORE MY CAR WOULD START. TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC SEVERAL TIMES (NO FINDINGS). JUST ONE DAY, MY CAR WOULD NOT START - CALLED ROADSIDE SERVICE - WOULD NOT START - CAR JUST COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED ($138.00) & HAD TO HAVE A WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE INSTALLED $830.59 - DODGE/CHRYSLER NEED TO STOP PLAYING GAMES - JUST RECEIVED A RECALL FOR "WIRELESS IGNITION NODE MODULE DETENTS" - BUT DODGE CLAIMED THAT THE WORK THAT I JUST HAD DONE IS NOT THE SAME - IT'S STILL WIRELESS, IT'S STILL A KEY ISSUE, IT'S STILL A MODULE, IT'S STILL REGARDING THE IGNITION, MY MECHANIC SAID IT'S THE SAME - WHO DO YOU BELIEVE - NOT DODGE/CHRYSLER - THEY NEED TO MAN UP AND ACCEPT THE RESPONSIBILITY AT ALL COST! *TR

AT ANY GIVEN TIME MY CALL WILL NOT RESTART. I WILL PARK IT AFTER 1 HOUR OF DRIVING OR 5 MINUTES OF DRIVING AND NEVER KNOW IF IT WILL RESTART. I CALLED DODGE AND THEY SAY THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS. HOW CAN THIS BE WHEN THE WEB SITES ARE FILLED WITH THE SAME COMPLAINTS. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO START RANDOMLY REPLACE PARTS. WHY WILL DODGE NOT STAND BEHIND THERE PRODUCT? *TR

I HAVE BEEN HAVING THE PROBLEM FOR A WHILE WHERE MY CAR ACTS IF IT DOESN'T WANT TO START AND AFTER WAITING A WHILE IT STARTS UP. I HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED TWICE THINKING ITS THE BATTERY OR THAT I AM BUYING BAD BATTERIES. MY CAR ACTS IF NOTHING IS WRONG I PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION TURN IT TO ON EVERYTHING BRIGHTLY COMES ON BUT MY CAR WILL NOT START IT DOESN'T CLICK IT DOESN'T DO ANYTHING WELL AFTER HAVING THIS PROBLEM FOR A WHILE NOW IT WONT START AT ALL EVEN WHEN ADDING A NEW BATTERY... I GET ONLINE AND SEE ALOT OF OTHER JOURNEY OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEM AND OWNERS IS NOW THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE BUT MINE CANT GET RECALLED DUE TO THE VIN NUMBER NOT BEING LISTED WHICH IS UNFAIR DUE TO ITS THE EXACT SAME CAR AND THE EXACT SAME ISSUE I CALLED THE CHRYSLER RECALL NUMBER L25 AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO SINCE MY VIN ISN'T LISTED IM SO UPSET IS THERE SOMEONE I CAN TALK TO ABOUT THIS. *TR

WHILE PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT ONTO STREET, THE CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN APPROXIMATELY A MONTH THIS CAR HAS STALLED.

AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I DO BELIEVE THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2010 MODEL REGARDING THIS ISSUE, BUT DO NOT KNOW IF THIS VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL. MY 5 YEAR OLD SON WAS WITH ME WHEN THIS HAPPENED TODAY AND THANK GOODNESS I WAS ABLE TO ESCAPE COLLISION. *TR

MY SON USES THE CAR AT COLLEGE AND HAS HAD THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, NEGATING THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. I CHECKED THE DODGE WEBSITE AND THEY SAID PARTS ARE NOW AVAILABLE, BUT I RECEIVED NO NOTIFICATION. *TR

CAR WAS PARKED, TURNED OFF, KEYS OUT,NOTHING NEAR THE CAR, AND THANKFULLY NO ONE IN CAR - AND AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. *TR

WHILE SITTING PARKED IN A PARKING SPACE WITH NO OTHER CARS OR PEOPLE AROUND; THE FRONT AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS IN THE CAR, THE IGNITION WAS OFF, AND THE KEYS WERE IN MY HAND. CAR HAS BEEN AT CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SINCE THAT DAY. SAID IT WOULD TAKE A COUPLE OF WEEKS. MAKING ME WONDER IF THEY HAVE DISCOVERED A LARGER ISSUE (JEEP LIBERTY). *TR

FOR A WHILE NOW, RANDOMLY MY JOURNEY WILL GET STUCK IN 2ND OR 3RD GEAR AFTER TAKING OFF. I WILL HAVE TO STOP, PUT IT IN PARK, SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTART IT FOR IT TO RESET ITSELF. THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES, BUT I'VE HAVE A COMPLETE NEW SET OF BRAKES PUT ON IT, ROTORS AND NEW CALIPERS IN THE FRONT. THE BRAKES ALSO MAKE A KNOCKING SOUND. I ALSO GOT A COMPLETE SET OF TIRES AND THEY SEEM TO BE WEARING QUICKER THAN NORMAL. I HAVE HAD 3 DIFFERENT SHOPS LOOK AT THE BREAKS FOR A DIAGNOSES AND ALL OF THEM SAY THAT THE RIGHT PARTS ON IT AND THEY DON'T SEE AND REASON FOR THE NOISES. *TR

THE IGNITION READS BAD KEY AND WON'T START. THE TIRE STEMS CORRODE AND BREAK OFF. THE CALIPERS ARE DEFECTIVE WHICH CAUSE THE BREAKS, TIRES AND ROTORS TO WEAR. THIS VEHICLE HAS TOO MANY DEFECTS AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED YEARS AGO.

LOW TIRE INDICATOR AS SOON AS I STARTED MY CAR. THEN THE CHANGE OIL INDICATOR FLASHED. I HAD JUST HAD AN OIL CHANGE AND ALL TIRES HAVE ACCURATE PRESSURE. SOMETIMES MY CAR WON'T START WHEN I TURN THE KEY BUT THE LIGHTS AND RADIO WILL WORK. THE SHIFTER PANEL GETS HOT SOMETIMES. THE WIPERS WILL MOVE UP A COUPLE OF INCHES WHEN I USE MY UNLOCK BUTTON ON MY KEY. MY DASH LIGHTS WILL FADE AND THEN COME BACK TO THE BRIGHTNESS I HAVE IT SET AT JUST RANDOMLY WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STARTED, DRIVING OR SITTING STILL. SOUNDS LIKE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. LOTS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THINGS OCCURRING, YET NO RECALLS AND THINGS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

FRONT POWER WINDOWS AND POWER MIRRORS SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. REAR WINDOWS DO ROLL DOWN HOWEVER THE DRIVERS AND FRONT PASSENGER WINDOWS DO NOT WORK FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE.

BAD IGNITION SWITCH TO THE POINT THAT THE CAR WOULD NOT START IMMEDIATELY. *TR

WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN APRIL OF 2014 WITH APPROXIMATELY 116,000 MILES ON IT. THE DAY AFTER WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IT BEGAN NOT STARTING AND LEAVING US STRANDED FOR MINUTES TO HOURS AT A TIME. I HAVE SIX CHILDREN THAT REGULARLY RIDE IN THIS VEHICLE WITH ME, AND IT HAS LEFT US STRANDED AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK (OFTEN MUCH MORE) SINCE WE BOUGHT IT. IT HAS A BRAND NEW KEY FOB (BOUGHT AND PROGRAMMED BY A DODGE DEALERSHIP WHEN WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE). IT HAS HAD TWO STARTERS REPLACED (ONE BEFORE AND ONE JUST AFTER WE BOUGHT IT, ON THE ASSUMPTION THAT THEY HAD RECEIVED A BAD STARTER). I HAVE BEEN IN A DODGE DEALERSHIP GETTING MY OIL CHANGED, WHEN IT WOULDN'T START FOR THEM, AND THEY WOULDN'T PUT IT ON THE COMPUTER TO ISOLATE THE ISSUE, BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE TIME. WHEN WE ATTEMPT TO START THE CAR, ALL WE WILL GET IS A CLICK. ALL OF THE LIGHTS, RADIO, ETC WORK JUST FINE, BUT IT WILL NOT START. SOMETIMES IT TAKES TWO OR THREE ATTEMPTS TO START. SOMETIMES IT IS WELL OVER AN HOUR. WE ARE AWARE THAT OUR VEHICLE IS UNDER RECALL FOR A WIN DETENT RING, HOWEVER, ALL OF THE DEALERSHIPS WE'VE SPOKEN WITH SAY THAT THEY DON'T HAVE THE PART AND CAN'T GIVE US AN ESTIMATED TIME ON WHEN IT WILL BE AVAILABLE. THIS IS EXTREMELY CONCERNING TO ME, GIVEN THAT THE ISSUE COULD CAUSE MY VEHICLE TO SHUT DOWN WHILE I AM DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY CHILDREN. WE ALSO HAD NEW BRAKES PUT ON WHEN WE PURCHASED IT (LESS THAN 10,000 MILES AGO), AND IT ALREADY NEEDS NEW BRAKES. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. WE CAN'T GET A STRAIGHT ANSWER FROM DODGE AS TO WHAT COULD BE THE ISSUE. I AM CONCERNED OVER THE FACT THAT NUMEROUS TIMES WE'VE BEEN STRANDED IN EXTREME HEAT, AND NOW WE ARE GOING INTO WINTER WHERE WE GET EXTREME COLD. IT IS UNSAFE. THANK YOU *TR

CAR STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY, STOPPED AT A TIRE COMPANY(BAYARD TIRE IN BAYARD FLORIDA) AND TECH SAID LEFT REAR TIRE BELTS WERE BROKEN. THIS IS THE FIFTH KUMHO TIRE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. I HAD THE FRONT 2 REPLACED IN APRIL OF 2012 (39000) AND THE REARS REPLACED IN SEPT. OF 2012(40000) NOW THE LEFT REAR TIRE HAS DONE THE SAME THING AT 55000 MILES.

I PURCHASED THIS 2009 JOURNEY IN 11/2013 WITH 51000 MILES. IT RANDOMLY WILL NOT START. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A SIMPLE PROBLEM; NOW I AM FINDING OUT THAT IS A PROBLEM WELL KNOWN TO CHRYSLER AND HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED IN THE 2009 VEHICLES. THIS IS A SERIOUS FAILURE ON CHRYSLER'S PART TO FULFILL THEIR OBLIGATION TO ADDRESS SAFETY ISSUES ON THEIR VEHICLES WHICH LEAVES THE PUBLIC AT RISK. I HAVE PUT OVER $1200 INTO THE REPAIR ON THIS VEHICLE AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. I HAVE A NEW BATTERY, A NEW STARTER, AND A NEW WIN MODULE AND I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE.THE CAR WILL RANDOMLY NOT START; I STARTED RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT 2009 JOURNEY OWNERS AND THAT THE WIN MODULE WAS RECALLED ON THE 2010 JOURNEYS BECAUSE OF THE SAME ISSUE ? YET CHRYSLER HAS FAILED TO RESPOND TO THE ISSUE WITH THE 2009 VEHICLES. WHY IS THIS ACCEPTABLE ??? I UNDERSTAND FROM THE CHRYSLER TECHNICIAN WHO REPLACED THE WIN MODULE THAT HE REPLACES SO MANY OF THESE MODULES THAT THEY SENDS OUT PRE-PACKAGED REPLACEMENT KITS FOR THE INSTALLERS TO USE.IN EARLY MAY I CONTACTED THE CUSTOMER SERVICE / DEPARTMENT AT CHRYSLER (1-800-853-1403). I SPOKE WITH [XXX] WHO PULLED UP THE VIN AND CONFIRMED THAT I AM THE OWNER OF THE CAR.WHEN I EXPLAINED THAT I HAD A NEW BATTERY AND A NEW STARTER AND BELIEVED THAT I NEEDED A WIN MODULE HE ASKED ME WHY I DID NOT USE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE CAR; I TOLD HIM THAT I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND HE SAID I HAD THE WARRANTY COVERAGE UNTIL 5/23/14 UNDER CONTRACT 36410717 ACCORDING TO YOUR SYSTEM. HE GAVE ME THE MOPAR # TO CALL TO SCHEDULE REPAIR--I CALLED THAT SAME DAY AND WAS TOLD THAT I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AND I DO NOT HAVE THE WARRANTY COVERAGE. I CALLED CHRYSLER BACK AND WAS TOLD THAT [XXX] HAD "MADE A MISTAKE... SORRY"-- INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

FIRST INCIDENT WAS SOMETIME IN APRIL 2014. WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE STALLED (TURNED OFF) THREE TIME DARING THAT SAME DAY. I SUBMITTED AN INCIDENT REPORT TO THIS OFFICE. CALLED DODGE CORPORATE OFFICE AND SPOKE TO A REPRESENTATIVE NAMED [XXX]. SHE HELP US GET THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP FIX THE PCM FLASH THROTTLE BODY, WHICH THE DEALERSHIP STATED WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. DODGE HAS A RECALL ON FOR THIS PCM PROBLEM ON THE 2010 AND SOME 2009 JOURNEY MODELS. MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT COVERED ACCORDING TO DODGE, BUT NOT VIN NUMBERS ARE STATED ON THE RECALL NOTES. THE SECOND INCIDENT HAPPEN AROUND A WEEK AN HALF AFTER THE FIRST ONE AND AFTER THE DEALERSHIP SAY IT WAS FIXED AND SAFE TO DRIVE. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING WITH THE KID ON BOARD AND WHILE EXITING THE FREEWAY, THE ENGINE STALLED (TURNED OFF) AND HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO AVOID HIT OTHER CARS. CALLED [XXX] AT CORPORATE AND TOOK CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP NOW IS SAYING THE PROBLEM IS THE WIN MODULE, WHICH AGAIN IS ON THE RECALL FOR THE 2010 JOURNEY, BUT NOT ON THE 2009. ASKED DEALERSHIP MANAGER ([XXX]) IF THIS WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. HE STATED HE IS NOT SURE, BUT THAT IS THE NEXT DIAGNOSTIC STEP TO TAKE. I ALSO ASKED HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST TO FIX HE STATED $700 AND THEY WOULD NOT COVER IT, BECAUSE MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. [XXX] AT CORPORATE WAS TRYING TO REDUCE PRICE, BUT DEALERSHIP IS NOT WILLING TO WORK WITH DODGE CORPORATE. MISTY AUTHORIZED A RENTAL CAR, I'M HAVING TO PAY FOR THE INSURANCE INCASE I HAVE AN ACCIDENT. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND ALL 2008, 2009, AND 2010 NEED TO BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. ALL MODELS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
