NHTSA Complaint #11203770 — 2016 DODGE JOURNEY

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HER 2016 DODGE JOURNEY ON A STREET WITH A 45 MPH SPEED LIMIT WHEN IT SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND DIED. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR PLUG . WE PICKED UP THE VEHICLE ON 4/19/19 AND IT DIED AGAIN ON 4/22/19. THIS TIME, THE CAR WAS STATIONARY, BUT HAD I BE TOWED AGAIN. THIS TIME, THEY REPLACED THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR. WE FOUND A RECALL ISSUED BY NHTSA - RECALL S89/NHTSA 16V-907 COVERING 2016 JOURNEYS FOR THE ENGINE BUILT FROM MAY 8,2016 TO JULY 12, 2016. THE BUILD DATE ON THE JOURNEY WE BOUGHT WAS 8/13/2015 AND IN SERVICE DATE OF 1/15/2016. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY DENIED ANY RECALL INITIALLY ( SAME AS THE DEALERSHIP ) BUT THEN SAID THE BUILD DATE WAS SET OUTSIDE OF THE TIME FRAME SET BY NHTSA. I HAVE THE ORIGINAL PART, REPLACED. IN MY POSSESSION. I FEEL THAT THIS PROBLEM MAY BE MORE WIDESPREAD AND MAY NOT BE REPORTED BY MORE PEOPLE BASED ON LACK OF ACKNOWLEDGMENT BY BOTH CHRYSLER AND THE DEALERSHIP AS THEY ARE WRITING IT OFF AS A PART THAT ' JUST BROKE '
