My rear windshield wiper died on my 2013 dodge journey over a year ago, I was told by dodge that I needed a new motor, so I purchased one on my own, and it didn't work. So I researched this issue to find out that, it was a wiring harness that was cut from rear door opening and closing I found out that there are a lot of people that has the same issue this issue showed exposed wiring.

My whole steering column is causing problems from airbags, my wipers not working now, speed-control wont work., traction control . Causing my car to swerve out of control and causing my car to almost rollover as it went into oncoming traffic, I keep having to change my tires including the back tires the most.the car was in motion when this happened.the light is on the dash, but no one will fix it, I have a son who is 14 years old I bought the car because I thought it would be dependable. My son has to have a live and kidney transplant. The car is still under 100,000 ,miles. So you can imagine when I found all this out. They said or the dealer said that the car does have recalls but wont fix them, I was told that there is a wiring harness problem. Please help, thank you ,[xxx] ps: there are still other issues not listed above. The car is leaking oil around the oil pan. I am shocked as I have always been a dodge lover information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

The rear hatch wires that connect to the hatch are all frayed and or broken causing sparks and non functioning hatch lock switch, brake light problems, and dangerous! The problem is dodge cheaper out on the wires they used and they fall apart and break also they aren't long enough. My other issue is the wipers are noisy no matter what brand used and I mean really loud, lastly the wiper spray nozzle on back doesn't spray the one on the hood broke off and the rear wiper doesn't wipe the whole windshield neither does the front wipers! The main issue is the cheap electrical wiring on this car it easily breaks off and falls apart within 5 years the wires are no longer useable! Dodge needs to recall the wiring 100%

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.

We have owned our journey for three years. Starting last year we have had a significant electrical issue that no one can fix. In order to unlock our doors, one has to press unlock an upward of 5 times. This has become an everyday occurrence and poses a threat to safety if we ever get in an accident. During these events the vehicle is stationary. We have noticed that the clock in the journey will either gain time or loose it, without us even touching it over the course of a week or more at a time, we've given up on setting it at all. Again, the vehicle is stationary. One in every four times entering the journey, our main dome light (around the second row of seats) will be illuminated without any interaction from us and its normally on for hours at a time. Stationary in our driveway or in a parking lot. Finally, our rear windshield wiper seems to have a short or something wrong with it. Some days it works perfectly fine and other days we are unable to turn it on to use it. I often go out to the car and notice the wiper is half done wiping the window and stuck there. Recently if you hit a bump, the rear windshield wiper would go off and wipe the glass without our interaction. All of this happens while stationary or while driving. Also just recently its noticed by my wife that the journey sometimes locks if we shut the door while warming it up. She mentioned that sometimes when locking the car it would honk more than once or sometimes the key fob wasn't operational (leading to us opening up the key fob, making sure the battery was seated properly and closing it back up) this is while stationary. The date I have associated with this isn't the date of the occurrence because this has all taken place over the past year to a little longer than a year. We've taken it to more than one repair shop to no avail.
