I have taken my vehicle to the dealership twice in the last two months, and it had been there about a week each time and they still don't know what is wrong with my vehicle. i submitted a complaint a couple of months ago and never heard anything back. when the temperature gets below 45 degrees fahrenheit my car goes haywire. all warning lights are on, speedometer and uconnect screen won't work, wiper blades are on and unable to turn off, my headlights are on but the controls won't work and my brights won't work. the dealership wanted 1600 because the 'think it is the tipm' but are unsure. well i changed the tipm myself for $330 and it is still doing it. i can at least return the one i bought and am only out $85 which is better than paying $1600 for them to tell me it didn't work. i have no idea what to do aside from selling the vehicle, but then the problem would just change hands. the dealership doesn't know how to diagnose this problem, and every time i take it there i'm out $100 and nowhere closer to knowing what the problem is or ...

My car is constantly unable to start im being told due to electrical issues. ive replaced the starter, battery, & alternator. there are all kinds of forums telling you ways around getting the car to start but no real fixes. some people spending hundreds and thousands trying to fix this issue by replacing fuse boxes, adding cables, replacing the entire computer system and more to no avail. while others just park the car until its paid off or sell it. its not fair and its inconvenient. dodge journeys 2009+ are all experiencing these issues.
Randomly, when trying to start the car, the engine will make a singular click sound but will not turn over. however, most of the time, when putting the car into neutral, it will start. sometimes it will take multiple times of putting car in neutral, back to park, for the car to start. the issues happens with both cold and hot starts (happens more often when in hot weather. we have taken the car into the dealer and they, "could not find any issues." the issue has occured over the last 4 years.
First the light turn on of the air bag (movement). in other night when i turn on the alarm it's start to activate on panic mode then i turn off the alarm wait for a various minutes and activate again (off), but in less than a minute start to be in panic mode. in other day (movement), says that was an open door and the locks start to put it many times, any of the doors wasn't open (movement). in the same day at night it's start to turn on/turn off the inside lights, put the locks, and the message of a door it's was open (movement). the alarm was on panic mode twice and the light's was againg turn on/turn off (off). the batterie, every time that i try to turn on the vehicule i need a booster to charge it again. the mechanics says that the alternator and the batterie are in good conditions has the voltage that needs to be operating. i put a new batterie but the problem persist. and turn on the light of other thing on the panel.
Takara recall. the horn will randomly go off. and so will the alarm.
All of the buttons stopped working in the driver's side door, along with the two back doors. the windows, locks, etc do not work because of this. the airbag light keeps turning off and on. now all of the wiring is acting like it is messed up. the brake lights keep coming on, the car randomly won't start, the overhead light comes on when the right blinker is used. now the car won't shift out of park 8/10 tries. the car also acts like it loses power randomly while driving in town. these problems have been listed as recalls, yet my car is not on the list.

On several occasions my dodge journey has shut off while driving and while sitting at a traffic light. some instances occurred while turning at a traffic light or driving straight ahead on a local city road. the check engine light, traction equalizer warning and air bag lights all come on just prior to the car shutting off most times. other times there is no warning until my steering wheel and brakes lock up indicated that the car has shut off. i've had the car serviced for the engine amongst other repairs and the problem still persists and the codes clear only temporarily. the car lights dim or flicker and the car shakes sometimes when starting up indicating that the car will not hold power to drive. the battery is good and the mechanic has stated that the issue is electrical.
