2009 Dodge Journey acceleration problems

Filed Sep 1, 2023 · Acceleration, Electrical · KY

I've gone through 6 batteries in 1 year and I still have to keep jumping my vehicle Everytime I start it. I am currently stranded in Walmart parking lot with no jumper cables and I am being forced to walk now. Also there are times when I am driving down the highway and at any given moment it acts as if I stomped on the brakes. The lights go off and on, the windows roll up and down, the door locks are out of control and the gauges on the dashboard go out of control as well. I recently bought a new TIPM and ECM because when I replaced the battery it would no longer start. This vehicle is very dangerous and I'm sorry I ever bought it. It seems as if dodge cares more about their money than a human life

My car is constantly unable to start im being told due to electrical issues. Ive replaced the starter, battery, & alternator. There are all kinds of forums telling you ways around getting the car to start but no real fixes. Some people spending hundreds and thousands trying to fix this issue by replacing fuse boxes, adding cables, replacing the entire computer system and more to no avail. While others just park the car until its paid off or sell it. Its not fair and its inconvenient. Dodge journeys 2009+ are all experiencing these issues.

I bought a 2009 dodge journey in april of 2017. A week after having it the problems started. First it was a backing plate...no big deal...then it was the transfer case...then my speedometer quit working and a few lights on the dash board. I was thankful that they tried fixing it over several months. Then they said we will give you 6,000 for it....when I paid a little over 10,000 for it...no way! Then september came around for inspection and I told them it sounds loud could you take a look at the exhaust. Well they passed the inspection....I took it back a week later and said it still sounds loud...well you need a whole new exhaust! Why did you pass it knowing it needed this? I was told well at least you can still drive it. Here I am a year later for another inspection and it won't pass now because of the exhaust...I asked about the speedometer and their response was we will let that slide because it's been a ongoing problem since you bought it. So is it ok for them to be doing this to me? No speedometer...miles on it are definitely not right because they don't move...I have 3 children I drive around in this car...I have to drive my son to pittsburgh children's hospital every so often. Am I in the wrong or are they? I was never asking for any money back or a brand new car...I was only asking for them to make it right with us and they think they have.

I've had nothing but problems with my dodge journey my RPM ramp up to 4-5 whenever I attempt to go 40-45mph the check engine light is on. I took it to button dodge and they fixed something that has to do with my transmission. Less then a month later it starts doing it again. So can you give me some advice on why. Also my locks and windows and turn signal don't work right.
