What owners report
TAKARA RECALL: WHEN LEAVING WORK I STARTED MY CAR AND BEGAN TO BACK OUT OF THE PARKING LOT WHEN I WENT TO PUSH ON MY BRAKES TO STOP MY CAR MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AS IF I HAD NOTHING BUT AIR. I CALLED AND HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A LOCAL SHOP 4 DIFFERENT MASTER CYLINDERS PUT ON THE CAR TWO NEW CALIPERS ON THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT AND BACK REPLACED ALONG WITH A NEW ABS MODULE AND BRAKE LINE HOSE ON THE FRONT LEFT SIDE 2500.00 LATER AND I STILL HAVE NO FRONT LEFT BRAKES!!!! COMPLETE NIGHTMARE AND IT IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE NOT ONE PERSON CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS OH I SHALL ADD WE ALSO REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS!
CAR TRANSFER CASE SPLIT IN HALF GOING DOWN HIGHWAY CALIPERS FROZE UP
TRANSFER CASE IS GOING OUT, AND VEHICLE WILL STALL AND NOT START AGAIN FOR A WHILE. VEHICLE WOULD NOT EVEN BACKUP, HAD TO CALL A TOLL TRUCK.
HORN HONKS RANDOMLY BY ITSELF. PARKED, MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, OR DRIVING THIS IS DANGEROUS DISTRACTING FOR ME AND OTHER DRIVERS. SCARY STARTLES ME AND FREAKS MY NEIGHBORS OUT! DRAINING MY BATTERY TOO. ALSO A CLICKING SOUND WHEN NOTHING ON. I GOOGLED IT AND WAS SHOCKED TO FIND HUNDREDS OF OTHERS COMPLAINTS. I CALLED CRYSLER THEY SAID TO MAKE A COMPLAINT HERE AND IF ENOUGH COMPLAINTS A RECALL WILL BE ISSUED. I SURE HOPE NO ONE GETS HURT OR DIES WAITING FOR THE MANUFACTURER TO CORRECT THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THEY CLEARLY KNOW ABOUT BUT WILL NOT ADDRESS UNLESS THEY ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO. WHAT A SHAME CONSUMERS PAY GOOD MONEY FOR SUCH POOR SERVICE. I KNEW I SHOULD HAVE STAYED WITH A GMC!
THE POWER STEERING RETURN HOSE AT THE RACK POSITION BROKE IN BELOW FREEZING CONDITIONS WHEN I FIRST STARTED IT A FEW WEEKS AGO. THE HOSE IS BROKE AND IT'S LEAKING POWER STEERING FLUID AND IT'S HARD TIME STEER THE VEHICLE AT TIMES. OTHER 09 DODHE JOURNEYS HAVE BEEN RECALLED, BUT MINE, SXT AWD WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ACCORDING TO THE VIN NUMBER. I FEEL IT SHOULD BE AND THE HOSE IS STILL CURRENTLY BROKEN. I AM ON A FIXED INCOME AND THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY CHRYSLER INSTEAD OF OUT OF MY POCKET. IT IS HIGHER MILEAGE AND THE MOTOR IS NOT THE ORIGINAL BUT THAT SHOULD NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO ME. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT.
