NHTSA Complaint #10807741 — 2009 DODGE JOURNEY

FOR SEVERAL YEARS, THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN STALLING INTERMITTENTLY; AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, WHEN SLOWING TO USE AN EXIT RAMP, WHEN TRYING TO PULL OVER FOR AN AMBULANCE, ETC... . ALSO IT INTERMITTENTLY INCREASES TO A HIGH RPM FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS OR SO, THEN RETURNS TO NORMAL. THIS CAN OCCUR AT A CONSTANT SPEED ON A LEVEL ROAD. DEALER CAN NOT FIND THE ISSUE SINCE NO 'TROUBLE' LIGHT IS ON. I SEE WHAT SEEMS TO BE A SIMILAR ISSUE ON AN INTERNET SEARCH, BUT HAVE NOT FOUND ANY CAUSE. AFTER SEVERAL TRIPS AND SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS PAID TO CHRYSLER DEALERS, NOTHING HAS BEEN FOUND AND NOTHING HAS BEEN SUGGESTED. THE STALLING IN TRAFFIC IS VERY TROUBLESOME AS IT MAY CAUSE INJURY TO MY FAMILY. FOR THIS REASON, THE RECOMMENDATION TO DRIVE IT TILL SOMETHING BREAKS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AS IT MAY BE THE OCCUPANTS THAT 'BREAK'! THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED FOR ME (BOTH THE STALLING AND THE REVVING) IS REPORTED BELOW.
