I have a 2012 doge journey bought in early jan 2012. It was and is a long journey no pun intended. After several jumps starting first days,a software upgrade and a new battery all in jan2012. Then apparent rust all along driveway in the spring, summer, this was found to be coming from the battery. The battery power cables were all changed as well as the battery box, this in july 2013, just after the so called peace of mind checks that were done during warranty oil change. Fast forward to Jan 22 2014. Battery drained, towed to dealership and battery changed after wouldn't hold charge. On battery #3 now Mileage only 18000km's. Vehicle in today the 23rd jan to have monitoring done to see if its draining while off. This was done last year with no results. Have given history of these problems from internet to manager and also wrote letter to Chrysler Canada. Asked service manager to research Chrysler data base and ask for assistance. All work has been done at dealership and all warranty but vehicle not reliable... I will be monitoring my self and I expect another new battery probably next year.... Oh also I have an electronic symtec rust module installed and serviced by dealer. It has been replaced twice and reset several times.... again all work done by dealer with knowledge of service manager... this has also been tested as a possible cause or result of the battery issues... To be continued
