I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW SINCE I PUT AT LEAST 3-4 SETS OF BRAKES ON THIS CAR AND 2 SETS OF ROTORS A YEAR SINCE OWNING IT. I HAVE 56000 MILES ON MY CAR I KNOW THAT BRAKES AND ROTORS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY IT'S REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON A VEHICLE. BUT THIS IS OVER KILL. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP I BELIEVE THAT MY ANTI LOCK BRAKE PUMP ASSEMBLY IS OUT. I'VE REPLACE THE MASTER CYLINDER AND 2 BRAKE LINES I STILL HAVE NO PEDAL TO SPEAK OF. THE FIRST MONTH I OWNED THIS CAR THE BRAKES AND ROTORS WERE REPLACED BY BARRETH IN WASHINGTON, MO

THE HEAT DOES NOT GET HOT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEN DRIVING ANYWHERE OR WHEN PARKED. THE HORN RANDOMLY GOES OFF WHEN I'M DRIVING ON THE STREET EXPRESSWAY AND ALSO WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED AND SHUTOFF. THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED OR WHILE DRIVING ON ALL ROADS. THE AIRBAG INDICATOR SOUND CHIMES CONTINUOUSLY WHILE I'M DRIVING ON ANY ROAD. I WENT TO DRIVE MY CAR LAST WEEK IN THE EXTREMELY COLD TEMPERATURE AND DISCOVERED I HAD NO POWER STEERING. I GOT OUT THE CAR AND ALSO DISCOVERED HUGE AMOUNTS OF POWER STEERING FLUID IN THE SNOW WHERE I WAS PARKED. IT WAS EVIDENT SOMETHING RUPTURED CAUSING THE MY VEHICLE TO LOSE ALL OF IT'S POWER STEERING FLUID. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE THAT THESE RECALLS DO NOT EXIST FOR MY VEHICLE. I WANT SOMETHING TO BE DONE ABOUT THESE ISSUES ON MY VEHICLE. IT'S CLEAR THAT THE DODGE JOURNEY HAS DEFAULTS. THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE ISSUES. PLEASE ASSIST WITH THESE ISSUES. THANK YOU.

'TAKATA RECALL' WHEN DRIVING THIS 2010 DODGE JOURNEY I HONESTLY DO NOT FEEL SAFE NOR I THINK IT'S SAFE FOR MY KIDS . HAVING THE CAR JUST DIE OUT OF NO WHERE, AND THEN SOME MORNINGS IT WON'T START UP FOR NO REASON , IS REALLY DISAPPOINTING. WHEN YOUR A SINGLE MOM AND YOU WORK DAY AND AND NIGHT , TO BUY A NEW CAR , YOU WOULD THINK IT WOULD BENEFIT THE FAMILY. SADLY IT JUST BRINGS MORE PROBLEMS THAT I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX.
