  1. I'm going through the local dodge dealership in my town because recalls I was told have to be done at a dodge dealership and also because that's who did the work they would be more familiar with what they've done to it. I bought the car through a small private owned dealership. I plan to update all forums I can on my experience and outcomes. Stay tuned, thanks for listening to my rant in the meantime!
  2. Something seems to be draining my battery down. I had to have a new battery installed in January. Just last week I has to replace it. Thank goodness the interstate battery has a 2 yr warranty so I didn't have to pay again. I've been having alot of issues with my 2012 journey. Hard to diagnose when the problems dont occur everytime or regularly. It's all spontaneous times out of nowhere it starts acting up and ESC light comes on followed by ETC light blinking for a min then goes off sometimes it doesnt. And every once n awhile the MIL light goes on along with the other lights. Again, not all the time does this happen. When it does my car chugs like it's going to cut out or die. Also when I accelerate too hard or fast it cuts out on me as if it's going to die. I've tried taking it to have diagnostic read and everyone tells me it wont pull any codes if no lights are on. But wont the computer have a history that would show on a more advanced diagnostic scan of what lights come on and why as long as no codes were cleared? So noone believes me when I explain my issues and acts as though it's a waste of time to look at. Mind you, these problems started after I had recalls fixed that I found out about after purchasing the car. Now I'm going to be expected to pay to have diagnosed and fixed and I dont feel I should have to. I'm trying to do as my third party extended warranty says to do & any car owner should do by properly maintaining the car and having it serviced, recalls etc. I'm no mechanic but from what I've researched in the specific problems I've had and recall work done, they seem to be correlated in some way but I cant get answers without dumping money into the car that I dont have and shouldn't have to since I'm not at fault and I haven't been a neglectful or reckless owner. I've only had this journey since may 2018. I'm a single mom working 2 jobs to make ends meet. I cant afford to go without my vehicle for even a day. Not easy getting rides to and from both jobs 2-4 times a day. I've finally called dodge enough times they've given me a case manager I'm waiting to hear from in the next 2 business days. I wish times were still simple and cars could be worked in in your garage and normally fairly easy to fix. Nowadays everything's operated by a computer. Technology is great til it malfunctions then you pay dearly for it to be fixed.
  3. I said I'll never buy a dodge again because all of them I've ever owned seem to have electrical issues and I've had to replace the alternator on every single one I've owned.
  4. I've had this recall and 2 others so far repaired on my 2012 journey. My car hasn't been the same since all these recalls started getting "fixed". Mind you my vehicle ran pretty well before all this granted I've only had it a little over 1 year. Now I'm having hell trying to figure out what's wrong with it exactly. Beyond frustrated with dodge, my local dodge dealerships service dept, customer service, recalls, warranties, etc. Never again will I buy a dodge. Word for thought, seriously think about taking your car in for recall repairs if it's running fine as is. I know that's not safe to do, however, I've done what was the "safe" / "right" thing to do and now my safety is compromised even more due to the problems I've had since work was done.
