In June 2015 I took car to freedom Dodge to have wireless ignition node replaced per the recall. Freedom Dodge claimed they didn't have the parts and wouldn't know until it came in. Furthermore they said they couldn't order the part. Freedom Dodge said they would call when the parts came in. It has now been six months and they have never called to tell us if the part is in. I called several times to check and they claim they haven't received the parts.
The contact owns a 2009 Dodge Journey. The contact stated that while driving at an unknown speed, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was restarted after several attempts. The contact stated that the failure recurred multiple times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technician informed the contact to remove everything from the key ring but the failure recurred. The contact later received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 14V373000 (air bags, electrical system) and was not able to receive the recall repair due to the part being unavailable for an extended period of time. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and was unable to provide a reasonable time frame to when the part would be provided to the dealer. The failure mileage was not available.

Takata recall - this recall has been out since June 2015, it is now December 2015 and I still cannot get the repairs made as I am continuously told the parts are on "back order". my car does not start half of the time and is not being fixed!!!
The ignition reads bad key and won't start. The tire stems corrode and break off. The calipers are defective which cause the breaks, tires and rotors to wear. This vehicle has too many defects and should have been recalled years ago.

For several years, the vehicle has been stalling intermittently; at traffic lights, when slowing to use an exit ramp, when trying to pull over for an ambulance, etc.... also it intermittently increases to a high RPM for about 10 seconds or so, then returns to normal. This can occur at a constant speed on a level road. Dealer can not find the issue since no 'trouble' light is on. I see what seems to be a similar issue on an internet search, but have not found any cause. After several trips and several hundred dollars paid to Chrysler dealers, nothing has been found and nothing has been suggested. The stalling in traffic is very troublesome as it may cause injury to my family. For this reason, the recommendation to drive it till something breaks is not acceptable as it may be the occupants that 'break'! the last time it happened for me (both the stalling and the revving) is reported below.
