2010 Dodge Journey Exterior lighting Problems

There is a lighting bolt that repeatedly pops up on dashboard and the car cuts off immediately in mid drive !! I have been to the dealership spent $3200 plus and it just keeps coming back on . Also all the lights flicker on and off while driving or when you hit the turning signals this is ridiculous!! It’s 2022, these issues should had been recalled !!! This is horrible and unsafe especially when driving with children!

Vehicle loses power while driving. Sometimes it will not start being stranded with kids as this vehicle was produced as a family car. Had battery, alternator, starter replaced. Have read numerous reports from google about vehicle not starting due to safety security features, problems with the fuse box, needing a yellow wire grounded that is located under the hood, and so on. If this is a know issue with these vehicles for over 10yrs why has it not been recalled to be fixed. As I drive the vehicle on the freeway with MY KIDS in it endaragering our lives and the many others who are on the road with me and the countless other dodge journey drivers. FIX THIS ISSUE. MAKE DODGE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR MISTAKE AS THEY KNOW WHAT THEY DID.

HEADLIGHT ON PASSENGER SIDE DOES NOT WORK ON HIGH OR LOW BEAMS. IT STARTED NOT COMING ON THE NEXT MORNING AFTER THEY WHERE WORKING FINE 6 HOURS EARLIER AND I'VE HAD EVERYTHING CHECKED AND CAN'T SEEM TO FIND NOTHING WRONG EXCEPT THEM NOT WORKING. I EVEN REPLACE THE BULBS AND THEY STILL DIDN'T WORK AND NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE OLD BULBS THOUGH THE MECHANIC DID NOT FIND NOTHING WRONG I THINK IT'S THE PLUG-IN THAT YOU PLUG THE LIGHT INTO.
