The contact was able to restart the vehicle; however, the failure recurred. The failure mileage was unknown. It wouldn't start while hot. He said it was likely an electrical problem since the codes were not the same. My husband tried to give me a boost from his Ford F-150 Truck and it didn't work. If the engine does not crank when the transmission is in Park but does crank when the shifter is in Neutral, the neutral safety is bad or the shifter cable if equipped is damaged, loose or misadjusted. The recall states that it is on vehicles that were built prior to June 2010.
I spoke with dodge and they said that they won't issue a recall unless more people start calling and complaining. Has anyone had any directive for Dodge on what to do or what can we do as the costumer? The approximate failure mileage was 90,000. My mechanic and Dodge could not find the problem. The repair involves unplugging an electrical connection and removing two or three bolts that mount the switch to the transmission or transaxle, whichever the case may be. Thinking it was a battery, I had it checked out and was told at that time that there was a recall on 2010 Journey ignition switches. Took to mechanic he said needed starter.
If you are handy with tools or knows somebody that can fix it for you, there are youtube videos that are very specific and helpful and actually, step by step, show you how to change it out. MamaBeck answered about a year ago I'm currently sitting in a dead 2010 Journey with my 3 year old. No wonder Consumer Reports says the Journey is a piece of junk? If I wait long enough, it will start up again but this is getting ridiculous. Additionally, the contact stated that the brakes and rotors required replacement approximately every two months. No issues before the non start, the fob simply would not start the car and I would be stranded. When the reverse light switch is not part of the neutral safety switch, it seldom needs adjustment, as it is directly activated by the transmission or the gear selector linkage.

Brought it to their shop for diagnosis. If no voltage is present, replace the switch. The problem you run into when replacing the Neutral Safety Switch is that the connectors are glued into the switch and will not come out. In a Rear Wheel Drive vehicle, the Neutral Safety Switch is located on the left side driver's side of the transmission. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. Takes about 5 minutes on line.
The key fob if applicable , should also be removed from the key ring. I don't wanna just throw money at it if nobody including dealers can figure it out. Nov 22, 2017 The neutral is located on the transmission shift lever. I have noticed it happens mostly when raining or Temps in the 90's outside. Yes, calipers at that low mileage. Others have separate units for these two distinct functions.
JerryAutoSpecialties answered 3 years ago The neutral safety switch, control the starter motor to run only in park or neutral if the neutral safety switch is bad you can see to kind of problem. If it starts, then you know that the problem is for sure the neutral safety switch. With the key on, the backup light should come on. After 2 weeks of investigation, tracing all wires, he determined it had to be the powertrain control module. In most models, they have the neutral safety switch in the transmission. Ran fine Saturday, garage overnight, no start Sunday morning. The approximate failure mileage was 57,797.
The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle had not been repaired. Just made a drive from Atlanta to Vancouver Washington this january. The dealer did not give a specific date for when the part would become available. I am driving their loaner 2016 Jeep Liberty. With the engine off and the key on, put the selector in reverse position. Remove the neutral safety switch.
When your car will not start, turn it on, push your break in, and put the gear in neutral. Please, I would like to know why my vehicle was not included in the recall. Even though my vehicle was built in may 2010, it is not included in the recall. The electrical issues in this car have been many and quite expensive. The contact had not experienced a failure.
