MY DRIVER SIDE ACTIVE HEADREST DEPLOYED WHILE PARKED. IT WAS FINE THE DAY BEFORE, CAME OUT THIS MORNING AND IT HAD ACTIVATED. AFTER INSPECTION, SEVERAL PLASTIC RETAINING CLIPS THAT HOLD A METAL PIN INSIDE THE HEADREST WERE BROKEN. THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AND I'M NOT SURE OF THE CONSEQUENCES IF THAT HAD HAPPENED. CLEARLY THIS IS A DEFECT IN MANUFACTURING.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THERE ARE 2 DIFFERENT PROBLEMS I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH SINCE DAY ONE OF OWNING MY DODGE JOURNEY. THE FIRST BEING ELECTRICAL, MY CLOCK RUNS FAST BECAUSE OF THE POWER FLOW TO IT. I HAVE 2 POWER OUTLETS IN MY CAR THAT DO NOT WORK PROPERLY AND 1 OF THEM THE DEALERSHIP IN FLORIDA MESSED UP TO FIX ONE OF THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. THE SECOND ISSUE IS WHEN I ACCELERATE MY TRANSMISSION CLICKS, I WAS PRETTY MUCH TOLD I WAS CRAZY BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE NOISE AND NOW THAT I DO NOT HAVE A WARRANTY THEY ARE REPORTING IT TO ME AND WANT ME TO PAY. THE LAST AND FINAL ISSUE IS MY BRAKES I HAVE HAD MY BRAKE BOOSTER REPLACED AND MY BREAK MASTER CYLINDER AND I STILL KEEP LOSING MY BRAKES. IF I HAVE TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES OR PUT ANY REAL PRESSURE MY BRAKES GO SOFT AND TO THE FLOOR. BOTH OF THESE PARTS WERE REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE JUST GUESSING ON WHAT WAS WRONG AND THEY DIDN'T CORRECT THE PROBLEM.

ENGINE
ABOUT OCTOBER 2019, WHILE PULLING INTO A GAS STATION, MY 2013 DODGE JOURNEY JUST SHUT OFF. NO WARNINGS, NO LIGHTS WENT OFF TO INDICATE WHAT HAPPENED. I PUT IT IN PARK, PUSHED THE IGNITION BUTTON SO THAT THE CAR WAS ACTUALLY OFF, AND THEN RE-STARTED IT. IT STARTED WITH NO ISSUES, AND WAS FINE. THEN IN NOVEMBER OF 2019 MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE AND HAD THEM RUN A DIAGNOSTIC ON IT, WHICH CAME BACK THAT THE CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR NEED SOME ATTENTION. HOWEVER, THE NEXT DAY WHEN I STARTED MY CAR, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WASN'T ON, AND IT STAYED OFF. THAT IS UNTIL TODAY, 2.20.2020. WHILE DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE AUTO STORE, HAD THEM RUN A TEST, WHICH CAME BACK AS THE CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR AGAIN. MY CAR HASN'T STOPPED ON ME YET, AND I HOPE IT DOESN'T, AND I AM LOOKING TO GET THIS REPAIRED. HOWEVER, EVERY ONE I HAVE SEEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUE, STATES IT HAPPENS REPEATEDLY. I REALLY HOPE TO HAVE A RECALL ON THIS, AS IT APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE ITSELF AND NOT SOMETHING THE CONSUMERS SHOULD HAVE TO KEEP PAYING FOR! WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DRIVE IN FEAR EVERY TIME WE GET BEHIND THE WHEEL, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE HAVE CHILDREN RIDING IN OUR VEHICLES! PLEASE FIX THIS!
