NHTSA Complaint #10648534 — 2009 DODGE JOURNEY

LAST DATE OF INCIDENT WAS ON OCTOBER 16, 2014, THIS IS THE 4TH TIME MY VEHICLE HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING IT. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I CONTACTED DODGE WHOM STATED THERE WAS NO RECALL IN RE: IGNITION PROBLEMS, INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH A RECALL WAS POSTED WITHIN WEEKS, SINCE THAT RECALL I HAVE BEEN CONTACTED VIA MAIL STATING PARTS HAVE BEEN ORDERED WITH NO KNOWN DELIVERY DATE FOR REPAIRS. THE LAST INCIDENT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING TOO WORK EXITING OFF THE EXPRESSWAY DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON THE RAMP WITH VEHICLES BEHIND ME AND MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF AGAIN. WHEN I CONTACT DODGE I AM TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO I HAVE TO WAIT FOR PARTS AND RISK MY LIFE IN THE PROCESS DUE TO THEY WILL NOT ISSUE A RENTAL CAR FOR THIS. PER MY CONVERSATION WITH DODGE I WANT THIS WELL DOCUMENTED BEING I AM DRIVING A VEHICLE WITH MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES WHEN IT APPEARS TO RANDOMLY SHUT OFF THE ENGINE WHILE DRIVING, I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING STATED IN THE RECALL LETTER SO I MAY LIMIT MY RISK, I HAVE TAKEN ALL KEYS OFF MY KEY RING, I MAKE SURE KEY IS WELL ENGAGED WHEN STARTING MY CAR. UNFORTUNATELY IN MY CASE THIS IS NOT A HELP AT ALL BEING I STILL AM HAVING EPISODES OF MY CAR STALLING OUT IN TRAFFIC. *TR
