NHTSA Complaint #11310453 — 2013 DODGE JOURNEY

ABOUT OCTOBER 2019, WHILE PULLING INTO A GAS STATION, MY 2013 DODGE JOURNEY JUST SHUT OFF. NO WARNINGS, NO LIGHTS WENT OFF TO INDICATE WHAT HAPPENED. I PUT IT IN PARK, PUSHED THE IGNITION BUTTON SO THAT THE CAR WAS ACTUALLY OFF, AND THEN RE-STARTED IT. IT STARTED WITH NO ISSUES, AND WAS FINE. THEN IN NOVEMBER OF 2019 MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE AND HAD THEM RUN A DIAGNOSTIC ON IT, WHICH CAME BACK THAT THE CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR NEED SOME ATTENTION. HOWEVER, THE NEXT DAY WHEN I STARTED MY CAR, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WASN'T ON, AND IT STAYED OFF. THAT IS UNTIL TODAY, 2.20.2020. WHILE DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE AUTO STORE, HAD THEM RUN A TEST, WHICH CAME BACK AS THE CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR AGAIN. MY CAR HASN'T STOPPED ON ME YET, AND I HOPE IT DOESN'T, AND I AM LOOKING TO GET THIS REPAIRED. HOWEVER, EVERY ONE I HAVE SEEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUE, STATES IT HAPPENS REPEATEDLY. I REALLY HOPE TO HAVE A RECALL ON THIS, AS IT APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE ITSELF AND NOT SOMETHING THE CONSUMERS SHOULD HAVE TO KEEP PAYING FOR! WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DRIVE IN FEAR EVERY TIME WE GET BEHIND THE WHEEL, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE HAVE CHILDREN RIDING IN OUR VEHICLES! PLEASE FIX THIS!
