ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN STATIONARY AND NO KEY IN THE IGNITION: THE ELECTRONIC AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS DISJUNCTION. SOMETIMES, WHEN THE VEHICLE IS NOT INTENTIONALLY LOCKED, THE DOORS WILL LOCK ON THEIR OWN WITHOUT A PERSON PRESSING THE LOCK BUTTON ON THE DOOR OR THE KEY FOB. AT OTHER TIMES, WHEN THE DOOR IS LOCKED THEN AFTER RETURNING TO THE VEHICLE AT A LATER TIME, THE DOORS WILL BE UNLOCKED. THIS HAPPENS ON A FAIRLY REGULAR BASIS. THIS COULD BE A REAL PROBLEM FOR THEFT OF ITEMS IN THE VEHICLE. ON OCCASION, WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN MOTION OR STOPPED WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING, WITH THE HEADLIGHTS ON AND THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH PANEL ALL LIT THE TRUCK RANDOMLY HAS ALL THE LIGHTS TURN-OFF AND BLINK A FEW TIMES AND THEN, NORMALLY, COME BACK ON WITHIN SECONDS. THIS HAS HAPPENED DURING THE EVENING HOURS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THERE IS SOME SORT OF ISSUE WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
WHILE MAKING A TURN AND APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL, COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER STEERING CAUSING VEHICLE TO CROSS CENTER LINE OF ROADWAY AND DRIVE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. BRAKE PEDAL ALSO EXTREMELY HARD TO PRESS (POSSIBLY LOSS OF POWER BRAKING AT THE SAME TIME). STEERING RETURNING TO NORMAL SEVERAL SECONDS AFTER RELEASING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES TODAY, WITH SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF COMPLETELY BETWEEN OCCURRENCES OF THIS FAILURE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DODGE FOBIK, MY TRUCK USES THE SAME IGNITION SWITCH AS THE JOURNEY, AND WHILE DRIVING MY TRUCK WILL SHUT OFF WITHOUT MOVING THE SWITCH. BUMPS SHUT MY TRUCK OFF, THIS SWITCH IS RIDICULOUSLY DANGEROUS. I WISH IT WAS A NORMAL SWITCH. IT HAS SHUT OFF 4 TIMES THIS WEEK, IF YOU TOUCH THE KEY IT SHUTS OFF. IT IS NOT A SAFE SYSTEM. IT STARTED THIS VERY INTERMITTENTLY WHEN MY FATHER OWNED THE TRUCK AT 53K MILES.

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKES FAILED APPROACHING A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION, WHILE TRYING TO SLOW DOWN FROM A 55-MPH ZONE. THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH NO BRAKE RESPONSE. LUCKILY, I HAD THE SENSE TO PUMP THE BRAKES QUICKLY BEFORE PLOWING INTO THE BUSY INTERSECTION! TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE MASTER BOOST PUMP, BUT THEY DID NOT HAVE ONE IN STOCK. BASICALLY, GOT MY TRUCK BACK A WEEK LATER AND WAS IN SHOCK OVER THE COST TO REPLACE ABOUT A $125 PART (AROUND $500). I NOTICED THAT THERE HAD BEEN RECALLS PERTAINING TO PROBLEMS IN THIS AREA WITH PREVIOUS YEAR MODELS AND EVEN 2010 YEAR MODELS, BUT WAS INFORMED THAT MY PARTICULAR VIN# WAS NOT AFFECTED...THINK THEY MAY NEED TO LOOK INTO THIS TO AVOID SOMEONE POSSIBLY BEING KILLED OR KILLING SOMEONE FROM A SIMILAR PROBLEM! COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC! AT THE VERY MINIMUM, DODGE SHOULD ISSUE A TSB AND SHOULD REFUND $$ FOR THE REPAIR!
