DODGE JOURNEY RECALL OUTLET PROBLEMS

NHTSA says 16,835 Dodge Journeys must go under the knife in order to fix 115v outlet problems. Due to the potential for short circuiting in an unused electrical connector, “dealers will re-route and stow the 115 volt auxiliary power outlet connector and pull the 25 amp fuse to remove power from this unused circuit”.

The Journey, not a favourite of GoodCarBadCar.net, is admittedly a remarkably inexpensive family hauler. With discounts, the basic starting price in America is about $17,792; Canadians are looking at about $19,495. This post regarding Dodge’s attempts to let the Journey fly in Europe has been one of GoodCarBadCar.net’s most popular articles ever.
This Dodge Journey Recall affects ’09 models only and should begin this month.

Days
Day 198 — Iran's Persian Gulf Strait Authority published an updated list of 77 vessels it accuses of violating its Strait of Hormuz protocols, saying listed ships face fines, detention or confiscation and warning insurers, P&I clubs and classification societies against serving them (Iran International and Insurance Journal, Sep 14; Middle East Monitor, Sep 15). US Central Command said an IRGC claim that a supertanker struck mines in the strait was false; neither account is independently confirmed. Houthi forces said they struck the Khamis Mushait air base in southern Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline entered a fifth day shut. AAA's national diesel average set a 12th consecutive record at $6.2694/gal and California diesel set a fresh state record at $8.2124/gal.
