Headlight condensation because of improper seal causing damage and blown headlamp

The rear backup camera will fail often and stay off without any warning I was just pulling into my garage and it stopped halfway. This type of equipment failure seems to be a big issue because if I am around my kids at school or really anywhere where I use my backup camera which that's how I mainly Park then I could hit somebody and I wouldn't know because the camera stops working in the middle of me backing up. The fuse boxes have been checked and there is no issues with them so I'm not sure how to fix the backup camera issue when it will kind of work but then it's like it has a short or something but I feel like it's a bigger public safety issue when I know other people with the same vehicle has this issue too.

Transmission failure at 43,226 miles, costing me $7,471.96. Replacement required. These are known to be a faulty transmission having recalls at this time up through 2016. Mine is not yet included but should be as they are the same unit. A failure like this is uncalled for.

My vehicle, despite never displaying any warning lights or previous issues, unfortunately experienced a sudden failure while I was driving my children home. The car abruptly stopped functioning in the middle of the road, which nearly resulted in a collision with other vehicles, leaving us stranded as other cars passed by. I have since contacted Dodge and discovered online reports of transmission problems with the 2019 model, although, for reasons unknown, my specific model year is not listed. This was very dangerous and I am stuck with the repairs on a car I have not had long.

The back up camera on my 2019 Dodge Journey is currently displaying either a blue, black or upside down picture. This is the same problem that is described in your recall notice for Dodge Journeys made between May of 2019 and February of 2020. My car was built in March of 2019. Is the NHTSA reviewing production of cars made prior to May of 2019?

Rear camera only turns on 30% of the time. The camera is in the rear view mirror and when it doesn’t work it puts a black screen in the rear view mirror putting many lives in danger.

My backup camera is a safety concern because it does not work. Also, my headlights are defective because moisture gets into them. These issues should be recalled.

On [XXX], my daughter called me and informed me that the vehicle shut down while she was driving with my infant grand daughter, on the highway. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My driver side head rest deployed without an accident

Back up camera stopped working

Same as previous year's. Power steering assist stopped working. Rubber particles in power steering fluid like hose ruptured.

Wind (40+ MPH) caught the door while I was opening it. The spring that holds it open and stops it in a certain position broke. The tack welds on the spring snapped and threw the spring into the car. The dealer service department is closed today, and the insurance is going to be contacted on Monday.

The back up camera has stopped working, sometimes it is a black screen, other times it's just a series of colors with no image. This makes it hard to back up safely.

I will be driving the vehicle and it will go completely dark, no electrical function, shuts right off in the middle of traffic. After a period of time, everything will power back up. This happens randomly and is very dangerous. I took the car to the dealer and initially, they said it was the battery. I replaced the battery and just as I got in the car at the dealer, the car went dark again. This time they were able to see that it is still happening and so far they have not been able to find the cause. I've read online about at least 3 other people having the same issue with no solution found to date. Currently the vehicle is at Courtesy Chrysler in Tampa, FL.

The cover for the seat belt and airbag on the front passenger seat have become disconnected without any incident causing such. Possibly not allowing the seat belt or airbag to function properly. Also the airbag sensor & seatbelt sensor for this seat stopped working at the same time the cover became un attached to the frame. It makes the seatbelt very hard to use and not sure it would function properly in a wreck not so I think the airbag would be able to deploy properly as the sensor is also not working. I was told this was not covered under my warranty.

Left headlamp seal is bad. Condensation on inside has diminished brightness. The right lamp also leaked but was replaced under warranty. My warranty has expired but, as a safety issue, I believe the faulty lamp should be replaced at no charge. I'd be happy to have the bad headlamp inspected by a dealer or whoever.
