Consumer Description

MY 2010 DODGE JOURNEY'S ENGINE STALLS AND I HAVE NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES WHILE I AM DRIVING. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED FIRST IN NOV. 2015 WITH AROUND 68000 MILES ON VEHICLE AND THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE OR CAUSED BY BAD WEATHER. IT STARTED TO HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES AGAIN MARCH/APRIL 2016. DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. TOOK IT BACK IN TO DEALERSHIP IN JUNE 2016, STILL COULD NOT FIND ISSUE. CONTINUED TO HAPPEN AND TOOK IT IN SEPTEMBER FOR THAT AND OTHER ISSUES (HORN GOING OFF RANDOMLY AND BATTERY DRAINING OVERNIGHT). NOW DEC 2016 AND THE CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING 3 TIMES THIS WEEK AND THE LAST TIME SOMEONE ALMOST REAR ENDED ME BECAUSE OF IT. MY LIFE AND MY CHILDREN'S LIFE ARE AT STAKE. IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED WHEN I AM GOING UNDER 45MPH AT THIS POINT AND ON SOME OCCASIONS IT IS WHILE I AM SLOWING DOWN TO TURN IN A PARKING SPACE BUT SOMETIMES IT IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD DRIVING. IT HAS HAPPENED IN THE MORNING/AFTERNOON/EVENING, RAIN, SNOW AND SUNSHINE, HOT AND COLD DAYS. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERYDAY WHICH MAKES THIS ISSUE EVEN WORSE I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL OCCUR. THE ONLY ISSUE THAT REMAINS THE SAME IS THAT MY TRACTION SYSTEM LIGHT COMES ON 90% OF THE TIME THIS OCCURS. I HAVE TOLD THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP EVERY TIME AND THEY STILL CANNOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I AM EXTREMELY UPSET AND HAVE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FILED WITH CHRYSLER/DODGE HEADQUARTERS. *TR
