NHTSA Complaint #10661284 — 2014 DODGE JOURNEY

I WAS SLOWING DOWN AND TURNING RIGHT INTO MY DRIVEWAY WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED. I WAS GOING 8 MPH WHEN I NOTICED I HAD NO POWER STEERING AND THE RPMS WERE AT 0. MY ENGINE STALLED FOR NO REASON. I HAVE PUSH BUTTON START/IGNITION, SO THIS IS NOT A CASE OF A HEAVY KEYCHAIN MOVING THE IGNITION INTO AUXILIARY OR OFF MODE.. THIS IS MY WIFE'S CAR AND SHE DRIVES MY SON AND DAUGHTER EVERYWHERE. I AM VERY WORRIED THIS COULD HAPPEN IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION OR AT HIGHER SPEED! I'M NOT A MECHANIC, BUT I HAVE NOTICED WITH THE V6/AUTO 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION, THIS CAR HAS VERY STRANGE SHIFTING PROGRAMS / "CURVES". IT SEEMS TO SHIFT EARLY AND SOMETIMES WHEN SLOWING DOWN, IT'S LIKE THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T DOWNSHIFT QUICKLY ENOUGH. THAT MAY BE THE CAUSE FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH. BOTTOM LINE, I NEED TO KNOW IT'S NOT GOING TO DO THIS AGAIN WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR! *TR
