2016 Dodge JOURNEY Electrical System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1519805
Internal NHTSA #	11156584
Manufacurer	Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
Brand	DODGE
Model	JOURNEY
Model Year	2016
File date	01/12/18
Component	ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Vehicle not used 4 days, tried to start, the battery totally discharged, zero volts measured with a voltmeter. No apparent reason, nothing was left connected or powered on (i. E computer, phone, etc.) started with the help of another vehicle, the battery charged and works ok, the symptom did not recurred. I read several comments online. Is there a known reason? During the no power ordeal, i noticed a major safety concern: the driver's door lock can be opened with the key, while the other doors locks are electrically activated and if the car battery is dead can not be opened, neither from inside or outside . The car battery is physically located behind the left fender, in front of the left wheel and will be damaged even in case of a minor fender-bender. If this will happen, all the occupants (except the driver will be locked inside). What if a fire will occur? The car has 7 seats! There might be 7 occupants to be evacuated through one door only! I hope my concern will reach the right person (or department), and i hope a cure or remedy will be find. This will possible save lives! Sincerely, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). *cc
