The contact owns a 2009 Dodge Journey. While defrosting the windshield, the interior lights illuminated independently and the rear passenger side window rolled down independently. The driver side door panel caught fire. The contact extinguished the fire and the door panel would no longer shut or latch. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that the entire door panel needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 85,000.

The A/C control head needs to be replaced only because the fan knob is not working. I just bought this car 15 months ago and not happy to be making a 400-500 dollar repair so soon. My research has shown that so many people are having problems with the A/C control head and when I brought it into the Dodge dealership he said its his most common repair. I called Dodge and asked why this was not being recalled. I do not have the money to be throwing down on repairs like this. I bought this car for my son's asthma and wouldn't this be the first thing to break. Just my luck. I think that this needs to be investigated and recalled. The same with the breaks, they are not good, and the car just burns right through them. I am not happy with my Dodge Journey.
