Hello all!
I have a question about my 2009 Dodge Journey SE with a WIN Module. Approx 60k miles. I'm having an issue with starting the vehicle. I believe the issue is releated to the problematic WIN Modules on these vehiciles.
Yesterday I got into the vehicle and started it - it DID NOT start. I turned the key to the OFF position and back to START nothing. Tried again. Let it stay in the RUN position and about 5-7 seconds it started.
Last night tried to start - NO START - however it started on its way BACK to RUN.
Finally today - I tried to start the vehicle got the no START at the start position, let it sit in on RUN position - the starter cranked momentarily (not enough to fire the engine up) and then about 5 seconds later it fired up.
This is a real issue. I am really worried I am going to get stranded. I am also very worried about taking it to the dealer as it doesn't do it all the time. What do you guys think the issue is? WIN Module? Starter? Key?
So I guess a good SECOND question would be why would automakers take a NEARLY perfected KEY/IGNITION system and replace it with unreliable electronics to fail?
