Writing in regards to a recall issued for 2009 dodge journeys on date 10/9/2008. The recall is chrysler recall h33 that began on 11/10/2008. This recall addresses the powertrain control model/fuel pump relay. My vehicle is stated to have not qualified for this recall but is currently having the same dysfunction listed in the recall and is not operable. My vehicle has been diagnosed and needs a powertrain control module replacement due to malfunction. The malfunction occurs when the vehicle is powered on, when in motion, and when trying to drive. I spoke with debbie at chrysler today and she informed me that my vehicle did not qualify for the recall h33 replacement of this part as identified by VIN, although my vehicle was manufactured within the same dates, make, model and year.

2009 dodge journey - total intergrated power module ( fuse box) went in defect mode. It is located under the car hood near front driver side fender. Think of the tipm like a command center for all the electrical functions of your car. Want to turn on your wipers? That has to go through the tipm. Need the fuel pump to turn on after you turn the key? You'll have to run it through tipm first. My car engine turned off while on my street road. I had to manually turn off road. There was no traffic at the time. When I restarted car windshield wipers went on would not turn off. Low beam lights would not go off. No cluster lights ( fuel gauge, speedometer, battery, temp gauge, speed gauge, digital readouts etc) no heat or AC power, no blinkers. No emergency lights, no AC power converter. I could drive car but had no gauges that worked that left me in the blind. The following worked normal: brake lights, radio and electric windows. Had auto mechanic scan it and found tipm was defected. This is dangerous everyone because if the tipm just decides to go defect your car will automatically stop and you will lose control of your control because the tipm shuts it down. I was lucky and just coasted off the road, but if one is on the road and heavy traffic you will crash and you and every one's life, health and well being is lethally in danger ( death) this dodge journey due to this defect must be recalled before someone dies. Does it take death for a recall? Is it going to take a death and group law suit? The tipm is defective and must be recalled on 2009 dodge journeys and all other after that year. The tipm is defective. Recall or group law suit ?

May 13th, vehicle would not start, lights come on, radio, but nothing from engine. Had aaa jump truck and installed new battery at sears. May 14th vehicle would not start again! Lights come on, radio, but engine will not start. Took to repair place, they replace spark plugs, cleaned throttle. May 22nd back to repair shop, vehicle will not start, same exact issues. Replaced fuel pump. They called dealership and they said no warranty and they had no idea what the issue was with truck. May 29th vehicle having same issues, daily it takes 15 to 30 minutes for it to start. Take back to repair shop and they replaced the fuel pump again. Still daily the truck starts when it wants to. Same issue when you engage the key, lights and radio work, power is there, but engine will not start. Now driver window will not work. Informed that we need brakes and rotors for front of truck in may and no warning light, just severe shaking when you are braking. Scared to drive the vehicle for fear of being stranded or failure of braking system.
