  • 77,600 miles
The contact owns a 2009 Dodge Journey. While the vehicle was being serviced for routine maintenance, the technician noticed that the windshield wipers activated independently. In addition, the instrument panel indicators dimmed and failed to illuminate. The dealer stated that moisture and condensation inside of the wiring harness caused the wires to become corroded. As a result, the instrument cluster needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 77,600.

We purchased this vehicle 2/2011 with 47,000 miles and recently in 9/2011 at our regular oil change we were told the left-front tie rod was going to need replaced. Now the steering is loose, and its loud in the front end while driving over bumps. We don't feel like we should be replacing tie-rod ends this soon on this vehicle that is in excellent shape otherwise. I know there is a Dodge Ram recall campaign#10V65800 for the same thing. Could this be something also related to the 2009 Dodge Journey?
