Issue ID	1121358
Internal NHTSA #	10644754
Manufacurer	Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
Brand	DODGE
Model	JOURNEY
Model Year	2013
File date	15/10/14
Component	ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Glove box illumination light stays on. The switch does work when depressed by hand, however, the glove box does not sit high enough when latched to depress the shutoff switch far enough to turn off the light. Attempted several fixes such as an empty glove box to no avail. The only temporary solution is closing the glove box with an object between the switch and the glove box to shut off the light. The light had been illuminated for a very long time when i noticed it, and with the light being an incandescent it was very hot. Likely to start a fire if a user stores napkins or other paper products in the glove box and they reach the light area, which can be reached by hand with the box open. The only indicator that the light is on while the glove box is closed is a small dim light visible through the passenger side vent.
