Consumer Description

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, MY JOURNEY HAS JUST SHUT DOWN WHILE IN MOTION. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME AND MY HUSBAND. LIGHTS GO OFF, ENGINE WILL NOT START, CANNOT PUSH THE BRAKE TO INITIALIZE STARTUP. ONLINE I HAVE FOUND MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. SOME BELIEVE THAT IT IS RELATED TO THE KEY FAB. THE ELECTRONICS KEY IS NOT BEING RECOGNIZED AND SHUTTING DOWN THE CAR. I TOOK IT TO DODGE DEALER AND OF COURSE THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM OR GET A CODE. HOWEVER, THE DANGER OF THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!! I HAVE TWO BOYS UNDER THE AGE OF FOUR! WILL A DEATH HAVE TO OCCUR TO INVESTIGATE THIS!?
