"takata recall" on 4/06/2016, my keypad would not lock my doors. On 04/09/2016, it began to work again. After starting my engine and driving my car for 1 minute, my car stalled on me. I proceeded to start my vehicle again, only for it to shut down for the second time. After my vehicle immediately shut down, everything went completely out. I could not let my windowa down, doors would not lock nor unlock radio will not play. Windshield wipers would not work. When I attempted to jump start my vehicle with a boost, smoke begin to appear from under the hood near the battery posts. I contacted a Dodge dealership in my area and are currently waiting on the diagnostic results. I will be visiting the NHTSA site today to provide you with an update.

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.

After doing my son's rotors and brakes I started to back the car out of the driveway and it stalled numerous times. The car had been running for 10+ minutes before this so it wasn't from a cold start plus it was around 40+ degrees out today. I said something to my son and he says it happens all the time(lives with his mom so never said anything to me before) I just looked into this online and it seems it's a known issue with problem being tipm. Chrysler hasn't recalled my son's vehicle yet though even as there's a class action lawsuit to add this year and make to the recall. Does someone have to get killed before this known issue gets the attention and recall it needs"???"

I parked my 2010 Dodge Journey in the parking lot at work and before I turned it off, smoke started coming out from behind the instrument panel, specifically behind the speedometer. I shut off my Journey, grabbed my bag and called 911. While I was giving my address, flames burst through the dash. The fire department arrived within minutes but the vehicle's front was engulfed at that time. They put the fire out. I contacted Chrysler and they sent an independent investigation team to inspect it. The electrical cluster behind the instrument panel was determined to be the cause. The wire cluster had caused electrical shorts when I first received the Journey, which a dealership repaired nearly six years ago their stated cause: "wires cut by sharp edge." They insulated the wire, relocated, and secured it at the time. Chrysler has claimed it was not a manufacturing issue.

I am referencing recall # 14V-373 for replacement of wireless ignition node module. I have had this part on order by local dealer for over 5 months now and am still waiting for dealer to receive the part so it can be changed out. I talked to dealer parts person and representative at fca group recall assistance center to find out why it has taken so long. No one knows why it has taken so long... I feel waiting over 5 months to effect repair is ridiculous and negligent!
