Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING MY BRAND NEW DODGE JOURNEY JUST PURCHASED ALMOST 2 MONTHS AGO, THE ENGINE STALLS OUT SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES NOW, WITH THE LAST TIME BEING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY ALMOST CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT. THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF, STEERING WHEEL AND BRAKES LOCK AND CAR JUST COASTS TO A STOP. AFTER A MINUTE THE CAR CAN BE RESTARTED. NO LIGHTS COME ON TO SIGNIFY A PROBLEM DURING THIS TIME, IT JUST STALLS OUT COMPLETELY CAUSING A MAJOR POTENTIAL FOR AN ACCIDENT. BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO SAYS THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. I HAVE 3 CHILDREN AND THIS HAPPENED WITH 1 IN THE CAR, PUTTING US IN SERIOUS DANGER.
