2008 DODGE JOURNEY

WE WERE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND SUDDENLY THE ELECTRICAL WENT CRAZY. THE HORN STARTED GOING OFF REPEATEDLY, THE WIPERS TURNED ON AND WOULDN'T SHUT OFF, THE WIPER FLUID KEPT SPRAYING, THE BLINKER LIGHTS KEPT BLINKING, AND IT CONTINUED EVEN AFTER WE TURNED OFF THE CAR. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AND COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING BECAUSE OF THE WINDSHIELD FLUID'S CONSTANT SPRAYING AND COULD HAVE EASILY GOTTEN INTO A WRECK IF THERE WERE OTHER CARS AROUND. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT WAS TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. IF I HAD BEEN ON THE FREEWAY, IT COULD HAVE ENDED VERY BADLY. IT WAS MOST LIKELY A FAULTY TIPM AFTER RESEARCHING AND FINDING MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THIS HAS BEEN RECALLED ON OTHERS VEHICLES BUT NOT ON THIS SPECIFIC MODEL, WHICH I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY THAT IS THE CASE, SINCE IT SEEMS TO BE JUST AS DANGEROUS IN OUR MODEL AS THE ONES THEY RECALLED.

A SHORT IN THE DRIVERS DOOR WIRING HARNESS CAUSES HEAD LIGHTS TO FLASH, TURN SIGNALS TO FAIL TO OPERATE, SPEEDOMETER FAILURE, CRUISE CONTROL FAILURE, AND WARNING LIGHTS TO FLASH. IT ALSO FEELS LIKE ABS IS DISABLED. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS AT RANDOM WHILE DRIVING. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP AND DIAGNOSED AND THE PROBLEM CONFIRMED BY TECHNICIANS. THE ESTIMATED REPAIR COST IS OVER $900 AND THE PARTS NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR IS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER FOR AT LEAST THREE WEEKS. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS WITH NUMEROUS MODEL YEARS OF THE DODGE JOURNEY. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM REPEATEDLY BOTH WHILE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND WHILE OPERATING ON STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. THE ONLY REMEDY IS TO PULL OVER AND REPEATEDLY TURN THE VEHICLE ON AND OFF AS WELL AS OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THIS BECOMES EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS ON THE HIGHWAY AS THERE IS NO WAY TO UTILIZE THE SAFETY SIGNALS AND OPENING AND CLOSING THE DRIVERS DOOR CREATE A HAZARD TO OT HER VEHICLES ON THE HIGHWAY. I NEED A
