NHTSA Complaint #11342370 — 2014 DODGE JOURNEY

THIS ISSUE WITH THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ME, SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM DEALERSHIP LAST YEAR 2019. HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. I CAN DRIVE AND THE CAR STALLS, LOSES IT POWER TO DRIVE, CAR SHAKES WITH ACCELERATION. HAD TO HAVE THE DEALER CLEAR CODE ONCE IN JULY 2019, SO DIDNT HAVE THE CAR FOR 6 MONTHS YET. THEN IT HAPPENED EARLIER THIS YEAR AND THEN IT HAPPENED JULY 2020. EVERYTIME THIS GOES BAD I TAKE IT IN AND THEY RESET THE SENSOR..I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY WITH IT REOCCURRING AND I HAVE TWO LITTLE CHILDREN K DRIVE AROUND. IT HAPPENS OUT OF NOWHERE AND ITS MY FIRST NEW CAR AND THOS IS A SAFTEY HABIT. IM AFRAID TO TRAVEL TO SEE FAMILY ON THE EAST COAST. THE THUNDERBOLT LIGHT WILL START FLASHES AND CAR LOSES ITS ACCELERATION. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL. THE TRACTION TIRE LIGHT ALSO TURNS OFF. CAR DOES NOT GAIN ACCELERATION AND SHAKES. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH MY DODGE AND OTHWR REVIEWS.
