NHTSA Complaint #11110680 — 2013 DODGE JOURNEY

I HAVE OWNED MY DODGE JOURNEY SINCE MAY 2013, AND AFTER TWO YEARS I BEGAN TO HAVE PROBLEMS. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT PICK UP AND GO. AT TIMES WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN IDLING MODE (LIKE IF I AM SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT) IT ACTS AS IF IT WANTS TO STOP. ON OTHER OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE ACTS AS IF IT WANTS TO STOP, EVEN IF I AM IN DRIVE OR JUST SITTING IN PARK. I RECENTLY HAD A TUNE AND THE BATTERY REPLACED. I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM! HOWEVER, IT'S EVEN WORSE NOW BECAUSE THE VEHICLE CONSTANTLY SHAKES AND WANTS TO STOP WHILE I AM CAUGHT UP IN TRAFFIC, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS (ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAVE MY CHILDREN AND DOGS IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME). I WANT THIS ISSUE RESOLVED. I BRING MY VEHICLE IN FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE AS REQUIRED, AND WHEN I MENTIONED THE ISSUE TO MY SERVICE ADVISOR AT THE DODGE DEALERSHIP WHERE I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, THEY TOLD ME IT'S BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS GETTING OLD. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT OF THE VEHICLE SHAKING AND WANTING TO STOP OCCURRED YESTERDAY AFTERNOON WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN HWY I-64. BECAUSE OF ALL OF THESE ISSUES I AM NEVER BUYING A DODGE AGAIN.
