Bought a 2009 dodge journey sxt w/14,075 miles-used. Owned little over month-we have had 4 times where driving at night-suddenly all instrument panel lights comes on-headlights go off-engine keeps running. To 'reset' had to turn off car and restart-one night this happen 2 times in appr.10 miles on I-20. First time in shop-'could not duplicate" for 2 days-also "no bus" light comes on. Wife picked up drove 15 miles to groc. Parking lot-during drive battery light came on-she got to parking lot. Killed engine-tried to restart-nothing-no click-nada! Called 800 # inowners manual. Towed to nearest dodge-they towed back to original dealer-3 more days-supposedly changed out several elect.parts. Still it happened again-at night-back in shop. We finally did a carfax-seems previous owner had in shop for electrical 3-4 times in less than a year when bought brand new. Did some research on dodge journey problems search on web-not much on journeys problem but did find '99 durango seem to describe exactly same problems-are they related?

El distribuidor en puerto rico no sabe que le sucede.
April 30, 2009 the "ignition node module" went out on my 2009 dodge journey. As of today I do not have my car. I live in louisiana and my car is in ft. Walton, florida at a lee chrysler dodge. There was no warning to let me know this was about to happen. Me, my wife, and two children were left stranded in florida. The car is at the florida dealership pending being fixed.

I have a brand new 2009 dodge journey. The steering makes noise, interior lights don't work, hazard lights don't work, locks malfunction, alarm malfunctions and won't turn off...I brought it in to have the steering issue looked at and was told they need to keep it for at least a day to fix it. They refuse, however to give me a rental until they find a diagnosis, which they now tell me will take at least 2 days. So, I'm driving around with a car that has one thing after another breaking on it because I can't afford to go 2 days without a car. I have to work. They don't stand by their product and it's going to cause problems for many consumers.
