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.

Mileage: 203,000

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MILES PER HOUR, WHEN IT SEEMS LIKE MY STEERING OR THE WHEELS SEEMED "OFF.' I CHECKED TO MAKE SURE ALL OF MY TIRES WERE CORRECTLY PRESSURED AND THEY WERE, SO I KEPT DRIVING. APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES DOWN THE ROAD, WELL GOING APPROXIMATELY 60 MILES PER HOUR THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON POST FLASHING AND WITH AN OFF SYMBOL UNDERNEATH IT IN TWO SEPARATE LOCATIONS. ALSO THE RED LIGHTNING BOLT SYMBOL CAME ON AS WELL. AT THE SAME TIME THAT THE LIGHTS CAME ON MY CAR DECELERATED AT A RAPID PACE, WHICH WAS NOT AT ALL SAFE ON THE HIGHWAY. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED ON MY FLASHERS AND PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER GETTING ON MY PHONE TO SEE WHAT IT COULD BE, I DECIDED THAT I WOULD LIMP HOME WITH THE CAR SO I COULD RESEARCH A LITTLE FURTHER WHAT WAS GOING ON AT HOME. WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME AFTERWARD, THE CAR NEVER GOT FASTER THAN ABOUT 20 MILES PER HOUR AND ACCELERATED AT A VERY, VERY SLOW PACE. THE AIR CONDITIONER NO LONGER WORKED AND WHEN I HAD TO DRIVE UP A VERY SMALL HILL, THE CAR SEEMED LIKE IT WOULD STOP COMPLETELY.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) CONTROL MODULE. THERE'S WAS A RECALL FOR OUR 2012 DODGE JOURNEY WHICH THE PREVIOUS OWNERS TOOK CARE OF IN OCT 2015 (THE MONTH AND YEAR OF RECALL). WE PURCHASED IN 2017. A FEW TIME THE ABS LIGHT HAS COME ON BUT ONLY FOR A MINUTE OR 2 SINCE WE BOUGHT IT. TODAY 8/2/2019 IT CAME ON ALONG WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT AND (NO TRACTION LIGHT (THE SWIVELING CAR IMAGE LIGHT). WE HAVE HAD A LOT OF HEAVY RAIN. WE WHERE TOLD BY SERVICING STATION BY DIAGNOSTIC TEST IT WAS THE ABS CONTROL MODULE SYSTEM MALFUNCTION. AND IF WE DID NOT GET FIXED OUR BRAKES COULD LOCK UP AND SYSTEM FREEZE UP. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE THAT WAS CORRECTED IN PAST BUT IS NOW HAPPENING AGAIN. THESE LIGHTS CAME ON JUST AS WE STARED TO DRIVE. WHEN THE CAR WAS RESTING FOR 30 MINUTES AND I WAS LEAVING TO DRIVE TO SERVICE STATION THE BREAK PEDAL WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO PUSH DOWN ( BREAK NEEDS TO BE PRESSED WITH TOUCH BUTTON START). I ALMOST COULDN'T START CAR. THE BREAK FINALLY SOFTENED AND I WAS ABLE TO PRESS DOWN TO START CAR. AT THAT POINT THE LIGHT DID NOT COME BACK ON FOR 5 MINUTES WHILE DRIVING BUT SADLY IT DID COME BACK. I FEEL WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT HAS COME UP AGAIN FROM A PREVIOUS RECALL. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN. IT WAS IN THE PAST AND SHOULD BE AGAIN.

IT WOULD START BUT THEN GO HAYWIRE AGAIN. BATTERY LIGHT AND ETC AS WELL AS ALL OTHERS LIGHTS COME ON. IT HAS LEFT ME AND MY KIDS IN THE COLD MORE THAN ONCE. NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW THE PROBLEM AS THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR ARE TESTING FINE. VEHICLE IS NOW SITTING IN MY DRIVE WAY AND WON'T DO ANYTHING. AT ALL.

FAULTY ABS MODULE DUE TO WATER LEAK, RECALLED ON VERY MANY 2012 DODGE JOURNEYS. FOR SOME REASON, NOT RECALLED ON MINE. NOTICED BRAKE LIGHT, ABS LIGHT, AND TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON, I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC DONE BY MY OWN MECHANIC AND CONFIRMED OVER THE PHONE WITH THE DODGE DEALERSHIP THAT I WAS COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. AFTER DROPPING MY CAR OFF AND THE MECHANICS THERE NOT FIXING THE ISSUE, I WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN ACTUALLY WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THAT RECALL. SO MY ABS MODULE IS FAULTY FOR NO OBVIOUS OR APPARENT REASON. I RARELY DRIVE ON HIGHWAYS, I NEVER GOT INTO ANY ACCIDENTS, THE 3 NOTIFICATION LIGHTS AS NOTED ABOVE JUST CAME ON ONE DAY WHEN I TURNED THE CAR ON.

THEY'RE ARE RECALLS FOR ALL THE ISSUES I'M HAVING WITH MY VEHICLE BUT WHEN I PUT THE VIN IN IT DOESN'T FALL UNDER THE RECALL LIST.

I WAS DRIVING AND THE ABS LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING. AND FROM WHAT I'VE BEEN TOLD IT'S THE BRAKE SENSOR AND THAT'S ONE OF THE RECALLS MY VEHICLE VIN DOESN'T FALL UNDER.

AUGUST 17, 2017 AS I WENT TO PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE THE CAR SEEMED TO BE PULLING AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. THEN THE ABS LIGHT AND THE MAINTENANCE AWD LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH THE OTHERS. THE CAR WILL HESITATE TO ACCELERATE AND MAKES A KIND OF GRINDING NOISE OFF AND ON. THE LIGHTS DON'T ALWAYS STAY ON AND WILL COME OFF THE SCREENS BUT EVENTUALLY THEY DO COME BACK ON AND GRINDING UNDERNEATH THE CAR STARTS AGAIN.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR SUDDENLY LOSSES POWER AND THE STABILITY LIGHTS AND ABS LIGHTS ALL FLASH. THIS OCCURS WHILE DRIVING ON THE CITY STREET AND HIGHWAY AND TURNING.

THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AND WHEN WE CHECK FOR CODES ALL IT SAYS IF ENGINE MISFIRE EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE STABILITY LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT ON.

MY CAR IS EXHIBITING ALL OF THE PROBLEMS THAT OTHER 2012 DODGE JOURNEYS ARE UNDER A RECALL FOR, REGARDING THE ABS, AND TRACTION CONTROL, BUT I'M BEING TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT MY CAR ISN'T COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL. I HAVE RESURCHED AND QUITE A FEW PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE, AND BEING DENIED THE RECALL. THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED. MY CAR HAS 110000 MILES ON IT. I HAD THE BRAKES CHANGED LAST YEAR BY THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY HAVE CONTINUED TO MAKE NOISES LIKE A SPINNING RUSTY WHEEL, AND NOW I HAVE LOST MY ABS, AND TRACTION CONTROL, WHICH THEN TAKES MY CRUISE CONTROL. CARS SHOULD NOT COME APART JUST BECAUSE THEY REACH THE 100000 MILE MARK. I CAN CLEARLY SEE I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON DEALING WITH THIS SAME ISSUE, SO THEY NEED TO LOOK INTO THIS!

THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT, ABS WARNING LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS COME ON RANDOMLY. SOMETIMES THE BRAKES FAIL TO ENGAGE WHEN THE ABS LIGHT IS LIT AND THE VEHICLE MAKES A WEIRD NOISE (SOUNDS LIKE GRINDING SOUND). YESTERDAY MY WIFE WAS UNABLE TO STOP AT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL AND WENT THROUGH A RED LIGHT WHEN THE BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK. THIS MODEL AND YEAR ARE UNDER A RECALL R61 (HHTSA 15V675000) BUT CHRYSLER SUPPORT SAYS OUR VIN IS NOT COVERED. TURNS OUT THAT THE MANUFACTURE DATE OF OUR CAR IS ABOUT 6 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE REPORTED RECALL MANUFACTURING DATES. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT THEY REFUSE TO EVEN LOOK AT OR DIAGNOSE WITHOUT CHARGING US TO DO SO. IT DOES NOT TAKE A ROCKET SCIENTIST TO SEE THAT OUR VEHICLE IS EXHIBITING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS AND SYMPTOMS AS DETAILED IN THE ABOVE RECALL. I GUESS THEY WANT SOMEONE TO DIE BEFORE TAKING ACTION. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT SAFETY ITEMS LIKE ABS ARE COVERED FOR 5 YRS OR 100000 MILES AND OUR VEHICLE IS UNDER THAT DESCRIPTION AS IT HAS 86,000 MILES AND WAS BUILT 10/2011
