In 10/14 I received recall #L25/NHTSA 14V-373. On 11/5/14 I called my dealer and was told "no parts available". "no schedule". the same day I called Chrysler recall assist. Center 1-800-853 and was told. "no parts available or schedule available. On 12/4/14 called antioch Chrysler/Dodge. "bring the car in for diagnosis. I wasted 1 hr! "no parts avail. Or scheduled! when you receive notice from Chrysler that parts are available, call dealer for appointment." According to the recall, there is danger in driving this vehicle. "engine shut off and passive restraint systems would also shut off. How can Chrysler not have a schedule for parts availability. Do I assume that they haven't been ordered, or if so, were ordered from an incompetent manufacturer" why recall at all"

While driving vehicle airbag came on. After scann appears the O.R.C. module is defected. Vehicle was taken to napleton South orlando and was inform that it have to be replace at my own expense. I search technicall bulletins and apparently vehicles for that same year had a recall for the same problem. I would like to find out if the recall made by Chrysler/Dodge includes mine. There are many recalls for different reasons for that same reason to similar vehicles of the same year and those parts were use on them is mine included in one of those recalls.

My 09 Dodge Journey would fail to start on multiple occasions since owning the vehicle. It would make a clicking noise and take several tries to get it to start. The dash lights would also fail to come on while trying to start it. I would also have to wait 1 or more hours til I could get it to start. I have put in a new alternator and starter in it. Finally on July 3rd 2014 it quit starting altogether, stranding me at work. I have also had a few incidents when the air bag light would come on, after a few minutes it would go back off. I have called a few Dodge dealers in my area and they claim to be aware of the issue and said it was either my key or a win module. If they are aware of this issue why is there no recalls on it. I have done research on my vehicle only to find out I am among thousands of people with the same issue.
