Takata recall sometimes my vehicle will not star,t basically every week. I cannot push the pedal down nothing lights up the windshield wipers will not stop going off airbag light, engine, and tire pressure sensor all come on. If car does start the windshield wipers will continue as well as lights then gas gunge will go to zero, cruise control shuts off and blinkers will not work, all happens simultaneously while driving making it very dangerous. I have found many people with this issue yet no clear fix. It is very dangerous and out right ridiculous there is no recall for this safety issue. These issues happen while the vehicle is in driveway and has happened on highway. I do not feel safe having my children in this car.
I own a 2013 dodge journey. On october 5th many electrical issues began and continue even after the recalls here addressed. Abs light came on, traction control disabled, cruise control function quit working dash displays/touchscreen began to flicker, bluetooth/uconnect/voice systems became non-responsive, ambient lighting on the passenger side flickers on and off, and the climate control system turned on after being set to the off position. The vehicle cabin is being contaminated by fumes and by the fiberglass soundproofing that is somehow entering the cabin. Dealership claims the recalls were addressed abut the ABS and traction control issues are due to a speed control sensor, wants to charge me the $227 for this sensor, the voice system is due to another module (still awaiting pricing), can't figure out why the various other electrical issues are occurring, nor how the fiberglass and fumes are getting in and that none of this is covered by the recalls nor by my manufacturer powertrain warranty, and he knows many people that haven't wrecked driving without the traction control and ABS systems so we can pick it up and drive it until we are ready to order the parts and pay for the repair. Fiberglass contamination is a pretty serious issue that causes cancer and various other health issues, the traction control, dashboard display, and antilock breaking systems are a serious safety concern and the recall stated loss of control could result in a crash and the vehicle should be fixed immediately
Cruise control stopped working. Not a fuse problem. Loss of engine power when traveling 28 MPH, not picking up speed. Close drivers door and alarm goes off 3 times. Blue tooth disengages. Drops call or can not hear other party.
I could not set the cruise control without hitting the steering wheel. Once I got the cruise control set to 75 MPH I could not get it to turn off. I hit the brakes 5 times before it would decelerate. Once the cruise control turned off there was a sudden hard shift on the engine and a loud knocking sound.
