NHTSA Complaint #11221155 — 2011 DODGE JOURNEY

MIL ILLUMINATES INDICATING CAM SHAFT POSITION SENOR AND MULTIPLE OTHER CODES AT START UP OR HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS ALSO CUTS OFF THE STABILITY CONTROL AND PUTS THE CAR IN ,IMP MODE. THE CAR WILL ALSO STALL WITHOUT WARNING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS CREATING AN UNSAFE CONDITION. DEALERSHIP CURRENTLY EVALUATING ISSUE FOR CAM SHAFT PHASER FAILURE. THIS OCCURS AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK HOWEVER THE MOST RECENT INCIDENCE ON 6/14/2019 RESULTED IN THE CAR STALLING WHILE TURNING RESULTING IN LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKING. THE CODE ALWAYS RESETS AFTER A DRIVING CYCLE IS COMPLETED BUT COMES BACK IN A DAY OR SO. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT EARLY 3.6 L ENGINES FOR 2011 HAD AN ISSUE WITH CAM SHAFT PHASER BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR MY VEHICLE.
