Description of the problem	Wow!!!!!!!!!! Is all i can say, i can't believe the amount of problems this car has. With that being said i'm hoping that since i financed this vehicle, that the finance company will help me because this dealership "clearly" sold me a lemon and i'm sure they know it is. Everything electrical in my 2012 journey started surging to the point where i thought it was going die on me while driving on a highway here on vancouver island b. C. Canada. I've had problems with the push button start ( sometimes 4 attempts to start it are needed ) . I really love the vehicle with the cost to repair modern days cars, i think i want to find a way to return it ( it's only been 5 months since i've had it ) . The dealership says it's probably the battery and offered to replace it so on the 27th of this month, i will take it to the dealers and try to return it all together. None of us should be having issues like this and i'm really disappointed with dodge and how they're "not" doing much to help anyone. Sadly these vehicles are "lemons" and should all be recalled and junked imo. Sorry to hear so many other's have problems too , just keep your roadside assist up to date lol cause i feel we're "all" going to need it eventually and who wants to be stuck in the middle of nowhere.
