NHTSA Complaint #11016393 — 2014 DODGE JOURNEY

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR KIDS AROUND TOWN AND THE VEHICLE STALLED OUT AS THEY WERE APPROACHING A STOP SIGN. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANY OTHER INDICATORS WERE TRIGGERED. THE VEHICLE APPEARED TO STILL BE RUNNING AND SHE COULD NOT SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF IMMEDIATELY. SHE EVENTUALLY LOST POWER STEERING AS WELL. AFTER A FEW MINUTES SHE WAS ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE BACK UP AGAIN AND IT FUNCTIONED NORMALLY AS EXPECTED AND SHE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. WE WERE EXPECTING SOME SORT OF LIGHT TO COME ON SO WE COULD GET A TROUBLESHOOTING CODE BUT NOTHING. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND WAS ALARMED TO FIND OUT THAT THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE SOMEWHAT COMMON AND THERE WAS A RECALL BACK IN 2011 FOR 2010 DODGE JOURNEY MODELS THAT WERE STALLING OUT. I HAVE NOT SEEN EVIDENCE OF A RECALL FOR LATER MODELS. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN ON THE OPEN ROAD LIKE A HIGHWAY WHERE THE VEHICLE IS GOING AT HIGH RATES OF SPEED AND STALLS OUT CAUSING MY WIFE TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I PLAN TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP BUT FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN ONLINE IT SEEMS NO OBVIOUS RESOLUTION HAS BEEN MENTIONED. I AM VERY CONCERNED AT THIS POINT.
