Takata recall there's a recall on dodge journeys 2009 and the sxt is having the same exact problem. the pcm is draining batteries and causing my truck to shift hard or shifts to the second gear and won't power past that. very concerned because my wife is pregnant and she often has to press on the control board from work to get the truck crunk. once a week she gets a jump off because the module drains her battery. because our vin doesn't fit the recall numbers it won't get fixed but it's the same problems as the recall.

Bought a used 2009 dodge journey in february, have replaced the battery and starter in the last few months. sometimes we can start the car normally, sometimes you have to jump the car off. yesterday, the car would not shift or start, tried the neutral safety switch which enabled me to push the journey but still would not crank. research online shows that many other consumers have or are experiencing the same problem. i feel dodge needs to take responsibility and figure out why these vehicles are malfunctioning. it's costing us money and time we do not have trying to chase down an electrical issue. i even had the pcm checked out and it too was in a good bill of health
