Issues I have had so far: 'car was on and running, in park, couldn't move it from park to drive. Had to turn car off and back on to 'restart' the main computer that controls all that 'the headlights, visor mirror lights, dashboard main light flickered worse than any other times (this happens most frequently) 'the following dashboard lights would light up like a christmas tree: brake, eap bas, ABS and the one that shows slippery conditions 'odometer would go from 0 to 100 and back and forth like it was possessed many, many times 'dings and whatever noise is made when all the above dashboard lights flickered on and off 'random lock/unlock of doors 'radio would randomly shut off and come back on * had to be jump started 3 times as my 13 month battery was drained to nothing took to local dodge dealer, all they did was replace my 13 mon. Old battery and ignition fuses and sent me on my way without the issue being fixed. All the above has happened in motion or stationary except trying to move from park to drive was stationary. I posted video of this on my youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkqq1ym7shu) I strongly feel this is a faulty tipm references that have same issue as I do: https://dodgeforum.com/forum/3rd-gen-durango/379400-tipm-recall-coming.html https://dodgeforum.com/forum/3rd-gen-durango/379400-tipm-recall-coming-3.html https://www.chrysler.com/webselfservice/fcanorth/vininputform.jsp I also contact an online mopar representative on this issue and all they said was 'since my vehicle is over the 36,000 factory warranty, it does not matter who owns the vehicle. If there is a common issue due to a defect and not some external sources. I would recommend keeping your receipts if this ever does become the case we will send out a letter and you can submit for reimbursement.' so basically I am screwed!

My 2009 dodge se journey has had several problems including some under open recall,electrical recall. However my brakes are very bad,ABS light and brake light frequently come on and off. The brakes act as if I have no brakes or pressure, until they are half way down then they over engage causing the vehicle to suddenly stop or significantly slow at unsafe pace. I have contacted chrysler there is no recall at this time. This is an unsafe vehicle all around and complete recall should be in effect.
