NHTSA complaint #11326276, filed 2020-05, 55,000 miles“'takata recall' every winter my Dodge journeys 'service awd, ABS light, and traction light' will come on when the sensor gets cold and wet. It shifts out of awd completely. This has been an issue every single winter. It is recalled on 2012-2015 models but for some odd reason my 2015 model is not included in that recall. Very frustrating.”
