The contact owns a 2018 Dodge Journey. While driving 35 mph, the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The contact called all star Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram (located at 11503 St charles rock rd, bridgeton, mo 63044) where it was diagnosed that the ambient air temperature sensor failed. The contact stated that the check engine indicator turned off the next day. The contact then called the dealer and was advised not to bring the vehicle in for repairs because the sensor system reset itself but if the check engine warning light re-illuminated to bring the vehicle back in for repairs. On another occasion, the contact also stated that the vehicle failed to start while attempting to drive. The vehicle was towed back to the same dealer where it was diagnosed that the ground wire from the battery to the vehicle was not connected appropriately. A new battery was installed to repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 22,000.

The radio in this vehicle often will make a sudden loud noise mid-music and then shut down the system entirely for about a minute. It then starts back up as normal. This happens unpredictably about once a week since I purchased the vehicle around November.

My car started off with the engine light coming on and then soon after, as I slowed down and turned, my engine shut off, I lost all power steering, and the battery remained on. This has happened since many times and is completely random. (doesn't matter if I just started the car, I've been driving for 20 minutes, warm weather / cold weather, it just happens when it happens.) more recently, the tcs (traction control system) will turn on randomly. (I have footage of the road being 100% clear while this is on in my car.) it will not shut off once it turns on. It makes it so I can't speed up hardly at all which of course hasn't had the best outcomes on the highway. And along with that, if I'm driving and take my foot off the gas, the sputters quickly for a moment and jerks the car down as if the brakes lock for a moment. Lastly, the car recently made clicking noises and I'm having trouble with the gas filling up. (it says it's full when it's clearly not) I've taken my vehicle in before and they said they couldn't find anything wrong. I had to cancel a recent appointment due to the flooding in Iowa but I'm afraid there is something far worse that they wont be able to fix, like last time. I'm sure this is a great vehicle, but I got a lemon for sure. There's currently 8,155 miles on the vehicle and I bought it new as of 10/01/2018. Clearly something is very wrong with the vehicle.
