THE FIRST DAY DROVE THIS BRAND NEW DODGE JOURNEY TO WORK. AND CAME BACK WITH THE HOOD RELEASED. THE ONLY THING IT COULD HAPPEN WAS I ACCIDENTALLY TOUCH THE HOOD RELEASE HANDLE WHEN I APPLY/RELEASE THE PARKING BRAKE, BECAUSE THEY ARE TOO CLOSED. IT IS A REALLY BAD DESIGN. *TR
I JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN AUGUST 2014 AND THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THAT MY HOOD HAS COME OPENED! I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE TO INQUIRE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS AND WAS TOLD NO. I THEN ASKED FOR THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO LOOK INTO WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. AND WAS TOLD I WOULD NEED TO TAKE IT A DODGE DEALER FOR ASSISTANCE EVEN THOUGH I BOUGHT THE 5 YEAR WARRANTY? I CALLED THE NEAREST DODGE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE HOOD RELEASE IS TO THE LEFT OF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, KNEE LEVEL. AND WHEN YOU RELEASE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, THE HOOD LATCH WILL UNLATCH. THIS IS TOO SCARY AS THIS IS THE 2ND TIME AND I DRIVE A LONG DISTANCE ON THE HIGHWAY TO WORK. THE SERVICE GUY NAMED [XXX] TOLD ME NOT TO WORRY, IT HAS A SECURITY LOCK LATCH. THAT'S IT I AM TRADING IT IN FOR ANOTHER MAKE, MODEL VEHICLE, I FELL IN LOVE WITH VEHICLE WHEN I RENTED ONE. BUT NOT ENOUGH TO GET ME KILLED. SO THAT MEANS I HAVE TO STAY OFF THE HIGHWAYS UNTIL I CAN REPLACE IT. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
HAVE HAD THE HOOD RELEASE NEXT OT THE PARKING BRAKE PEDAL. OPEN THE HOOD WITHOUT NOTIFICATION.THE BRAKE PEDAL IS TO CLOSE IN PROXIMITY TO THE HOOD LATCH. EACH TIME YOU RELEASE THE PARKING BRAKE THE HOOD RELEASES. *TR
