2015 DODGE JOURNEY Engine Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE OPERATED AS DESIGNED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES OF DRIVING. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WERE NOT DETERMINED. AN UNKNOWN DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE.*BF*JB

.SMOKING VEHICLE POWER SWITCH GOES OFF AND ON LOCKING VEHICLE WHILE I AM DRIVING OR HAS IN THE PAST GONE OFF AND ON LOCKING MY CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLES

I WENT TO TURN ON MY CAR AND IT WAS COMPLETELY DEAD, AND THE KEY WOULD NOT OPEN THE CAR. SOMEONE CAME TO HELP AND CHECKED THE BATTERY WHICH WAS FULLY WORKING PERFECTLY, BUT THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY DEAD STILL, NO POWER RUNNING ANYWHERE. I WENT TO GOOGLE THE PROBLEM AND LIKE ME THERE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE GONE THROUGH THE SAME PROBLEM. IT SEEMS THAT THE CAR GOES INTO LOCKED-DOWN MODE BY ITSELF UNLESS YOU DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND THE COMPUTER REBOOTS THERE'S NOTHING THAT WILL MAKE IT WORK. LOCALLY THIS HAPPENED IN MY BUILDING'S PARKING LOT, I DID UNHOOK THE BATTERY WHICH REBOOTED THE COMPUTER AND THE CAR TURNED ON.

AS I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A GROCERY PARKING LOT, I REMEMBER TAKING MY FOOT OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR TO SLOW DOWN AND TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN UP AN ISLE TO GO TO A PARKING SPOT. ONCE MY FOOT CAME OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR, MY CAR DIED, NO BRAKES, AND NO STEERING. THE ELECTRICAL CONTINUED TO WORK AS MY MUSIC WAS STILL PLAYING AND THE FLASHERS WORKED AS WELL. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, AND PUSHED THE START BUTTON, NOTHING HAPPENED. I TRIED A COUPLE MORE TIMES AND THEN MY CAR STARTED BACK UP. I DROVE TO A PARKING SPOT, SHUT THE CAR OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON. I DROVE BACK HOME WITH NO ISSUES AND PUT HER IN THE GARAGE. I'M VERY NERVOUS, TO SAY THE LEAST AS I HAVE TO DRIVE TO WORK TOMORROW. I HOPE THIS DOES NOT OCCURS AS I'M DRIVING 55 MPH.

WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING THE CAR IT DOESN'T MATTER THE SPEED THE CAR WILL TURN OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING. CAUSING A DANGEROUS AND SCARY SITUATION AFTER YOU PUT IN PARK AND PRESS THE START BUTTON AMD IT WILL TURN BACK ON. HAPPENED ON 10/ 07/18 THE FIRST TIME REPLACED CRANKSHAFT SENSOR. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON 10/18/19. I NOTICED JOURNEYS HAVE THIS PROBLEM ON ALMOST ALL YEARS MODELS AND I WAS GOING THROUGH THE RECALS AND INOTICED THAT A MAJORITY OF PEOPLE COMPLAIN OR HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM ABOUT THIS SENSOR. EVEN THOUGH DODGE IS ONLY RECALLING 2016 JOURNEYS BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. I THINK DODGE SHOULD DO A RECALL FOR ALL OF THE YEARS FOR DODGE JOURNEYS OVER THOS PROBLEM AND ITS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR THE CAR TO JUST TURN OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THAT BEING A FAMILY CAR THAT COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT.

THE TRACEMISSION WILL NOT PULL AND THE CAR SHUTS DOWN AS YOUR DRIVING IT. THIS STARTING HAPPING THE FIRST DAY I GOT THE RIDE WITCH WAS 6/28/2019 I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER WITH WAS TIM SHORT OF SOUTH WILLIAMSON KY THEY GAVE ME A RENTAL THE MOTOR BLOW UP IN IT ON 7/28 /2019 THEN I THEY COME AND TOOK THAT RENTAL AND GAVE ME ANOTHER ONE THEN AFTER ABOUT TWO MONTHS I GOT MY DODGE JOURNEY BACK AND NOW THE TRANSMATION IS GOING OUT AGAIN AND IT'S JUST SHUTING DOWN AS YOU DRIVE IT,.

CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. IT SHITS OFF WHILE PARKED OR STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT. THE CAR WILL NOT TURN BACK ON. SOMETIMES IT TAKE ABOUT 30 MINUTES AND IT WILL RESTART BUT WILL ONLY RUN FOR ABOUT 5-10 MINUTES. WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR, WE PRESS THE BRAKE AND THEN THE START BUTTON AND THE CAR VIOLENTLY JERKS AS IT TRIES TO START, BUT WILL NOT TURN OVER. IT HAS HAPPENED SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR MARCH 2019 BUT THE DEALERSHIP WONT TAKE THE CAR BACK OR TRADE IT FOR SOMETHING ELSE.

THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD A RE-OCCURRING ENGINE LIGHT FOR CODE FOR THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF. THE CODE IS P0441. NOT ONLY HAS THIS CODE BEEN A NUISANCE IT IS ALSO CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL. I BELIEVE THE EMISSION SYSTEM IS PURGING THE FUEL VAPORS AT THE WRONG TIME. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO TWO SEPARATE DEALERS FOR SERVICE FOR A TOTAL OF 7 SEPARATE VISITS. THE ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME BACK ON AND ONCE THAT HAPPENS THE VEHICLE WILL STALL RANDOMLY AT SLOWER SPEEDS. ONE STALL WAS SPECIFICALLY TURNING A CORNER AT SLOW SPEEDS. ANOTHER STALL OCCURRED IN PARKING LOT MANEUVERS. I HAVE GOOGLED THIS VEHICLE WITH THIS CODE AND IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL : URGENT: OVERTIME I'VE HAD ELECTRICAL ISSUES WHICH EFFECTS NOT JUST THE PLUG INSERTS INSIDE THE VEHICLE BUT ALSO MY ALARM SYSTEM FOES NOT WORK AND MY HORN JUST DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE, AIR BAG LIGHT THAT POPPED UP ON MY DASHBOARD WHICH I FEEL MAYBE SOME WIRES MIGHT BE DETACHED BUT SCARES ME THAT WHEN I DRIVE THE AIR BAG WONT DETECT IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT, ALSO I RECENTLY JUST HAD AN ISSUE WITH MY ENGINE COOLING AND STARTED TO SMOKE OUT OF NOWHERE WHILE ON THE FREEWAY AND ENDED UP GETTING STUCK FOR HOURS BUT EVEN IF I DRIVE FOR A FEW SECONDS THE GAUGE SHOOTS TO HOT RIGHT AWAY AND AND COOLANT STARTED LEAKING EVERYWHERE. I HAVE ATTACHED THE 6 OUT OF 10 RECALLS THAT DID NOT GET DONE. I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO BUD CLARY'S OF AUBURN IN MARCH OF 2019 AND...

2015 DODGE JOURNEY. LIGHTS FOR AWD, ABS AND STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM COME ON WITH NO NOTICE AS I ENTER A MAJOR INTERSECTION. LOSS OF POWER NO ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE FINALLY STARTED TO MOVE. THE. WARNING LIGHTS WENT OFF. CONTACTING DEALER FOR REPAIR.

WHILE TURNING THE VEHICLE THE CAR COMPLETELY STOPS HAVING POWER. CAR STALLS OUT BUT STILL SHOWS VEHICLE IS RUNNING, AIR STILL WORKS ETC. NO WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH AT ALL. . AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND PUTTING THE VEHICLE BACK IN PARK VEHICLE STARTS RIGHT BACK UP. STILL NO WARNINGS OR A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. NO OTHER MECHANICAL ISSUES WITH VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING THE AIR CONDITIONING AUTOMATICALLY COMES ON. I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET, DECIDED TO OPEN THE WINDOW EVEN THOUGH IT WAS 8:30AM AND IT WAS ALREADY 95 DEGREES OUTSIDE HERE IN VEGAS. DIDN'T GET OUT OF MY COMPLEX BEFORE THE AIR CONDITIONER CAME ON BY ITSELF. ALSO WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER ON, MY CAR SEEMS TO RUN HIGHER IN IDLE AND WHILE DRIVING IT SEEMS TO DOUBLE STEP WHEN BRAKING AND COMING TO A STOP. IT DOES LIKE A SMALL JERK IN ACCELERATION COMING TO A STOP.

TAPPING NOISE UNDER HOOD. TOOK TO 3 DIFFERENT MECHANICS AND EACH ONE TOLD ME THIS IS A DEFAULT WITH THE MANUFACTURER. HAD OIL CHANGE DONE AND TAPPUNG NOISE STILL CONTINUES. THE MECHANICS STATED THAT THE NOSIE IS COMING FROM THE TOP AND COST BETWEEN $600-$3500 TO HAVE REPAIRED. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TOME WHEN VEHICLE IS RUNNING OR IDLE.

PRECISELY ON 7.3.19 I HAD 4 OF MY CHILDREN WITH ME HEADING TO A HOLIDAY PARADE. MY CAR W/O WARNING COMPLETELY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF A ROAD. NO POWER, NO BRAKES, NO STEERING. AIR WAS STILL BLOWING; RADIO STILL PLAYING. MY DAUGHTER AND I PUSHED MY CAR TO THE CURB, MY HUSBAND CAME AND PUSHED MY CAR FURTHER TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS THE CAR RESTARTED AND RESTARTED FINE. DROVE ANOTHER .5 CITY BLOCK; STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, PULLED OUT AND MY CAR DIED AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. MY HUSBAND WAS STILL BEHIND ME & PUSHED US OUT. WE DROVE HOME. HE LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD, NOTHING STOOD OUT. I DIDN'T GET ANY WARNINGS ON THE DASH. THE CAR HAS DRIVEN FINE UNTIL 7.5.19. MY DAUGHTER AND I JUST TURNED ONTO CALUMET AVE; A VERY BUSY AND DANGEROUS ROAD AND MY CAR DIED...

MY 16-YEAR-OLD SON WAS DRIVING OUR 2015 DODGE JOURNEY TO SCHOOL. HE BEGAN TO HEAR A NOISE THAT SOUNDED AS IF SOMETHING WAS DRAGGING UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVER BEHIND HIM WAS FLASHING HIM TO PULL OVER, HE BEGAN HAVING ISSUES CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE FORTUNATELY HE WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND AS SOON AS HE GOT TO THE STOP SIGN THE CAR COMPLETELY DIED AFTER MAKING A LOUD NOISE AND STARTED SMOKING. MY SON JUMPED OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND THE DRIVER BEHIND HIM TOLD HIM TO GET AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE AS HE FELT IT WAS ABOUT TO CATCH FIRE BY THE SMELL. ONCE THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER GOT THERE AND TRY TO START THE VEHICLE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL THE CAR AGAIN FILLED UP WITH A BURNING SMELL. HE JUMPED OUT AND HAD TO CALL DISPATCH FOR SAFETY REASONS OF TRANSPORTING THE VEHICLE. ONCE MY VEHICLE...

AFTER DRIVING IN ABOUT 70 DEGREE SUNNY DAY FOR ABOUT 45 MIN THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT DINGED ON THEN AFTER PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR THE VEHICLE CHUFFED AND COMPLETELY DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERCTION. TURN THE VEHICLE OFF FOR ABOUT 10 MIN AND CONTINUED DRIVING ANOTHER 45 MIN WITHOUT A PROBLEM. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS FROM A STOP TO ABOUT 70 MPH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE MADE AN ABNORMAL RATTLING SOUND WHILE BEING OPERATED. ALSO, THE VEHICLE LEAKED OIL, THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE TRANSMISSION, AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR AND BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SIERRA CHRYSLER DODGE (1305 MOUNTAIN AVE, MONROVIA, CA 91016) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A NEW ALTERNATOR WAS NEEDED. THE ALTERNATOR WAS NOT REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE TIMING BELT AND OIL LEAK WERE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND OFFERED TO COMPENSATE THE CONTACT FOR THE REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000.

MY VEHICLE RADIATOR THERMOSTAT WAS 1ST RUNNING LOW. NOW IT'S RUNNING HIGH. I TALKED TO DODGER ON DEALERSHIP NEAR ME. THEY SAY THAT MY VEHICLE DOESN'T HAVE RECALL NOTICES FOR RADIATOR PROBLEMS AND THEY WILL CHARGE ME TO REPAIR IT. THEY ARE NOW GIVING ME OFFERS TO BUY A NEW VEHICLE.

2015 DODGE JOURNEY PURCHASED NEW CAR WONT START CANT MOVE GEAR SHIFTER TO NUTERAL OR ANY OTHER GEAR SEEMS TO BE A BAD PROBLEM WITH THEM I'VE CHECKED GOOGLE FOR SOLUTIONS AND APPARENTLY THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM FOR THIS CAR AS MANY COMPLAINTS AS I'VE READ I'VE TRYED EVERYTHING I CAN TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM

THE VEHICLE STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND MAKING NOISES, NOT SHIFTING, DELAYED ENGAGEMENT, AND BEFORE EVERYTHING HAPPENED IT DIDN'T SHOW ANY SIGN OF PROBLEM ON THE BOARD (NO CHECK ENGINE) AND THE CAR WAS IN MOTION, ON A CITY STREET.

MY CAR DIES WHILE I'M DRIVING ENGINE JUST STOPS

MY JOURNEY WILL TURN OFF SITTING A STOP LIGHT OR JUST TURN OFF WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP POSITION. ENTERING OR EXITING TRAFFIC. WHEN CHECKING ENGINE LIGHT THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE. THIS CAUSING MY CAR TO TURN OFF.

JUNE 2017: IGNITION FAILURE, TOTAL COMPONENT REPLACEMENT; JULY 2017, SEPTEMBER 2017; JULY 2018: CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR FAILURE RESULTING IN ENGINE STALL, FULL ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE AND TOTAL VEHICLE SHUTDOWN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (60+MPH) FORCED TO COAST VEHICLE TO A STOP; BEGINNING JULY 2017 INTERMITTENT AND ONGOING: UNRESPONSIVE TRANSMISSION RESULTING IN DELAYED OR NOT CHANGING OF GEARS, ELEVATED RPM READINGS WHILE MPH STAYS STUCK (I.E. 4500+ RPMS BUT VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE PAST 40MPH), EXTREMELY DECEASED AVERAGE MILES PER GALLON WITH NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGE TO DRIVING HABITS OR MILES DRIVEN (I.E. PREVIOUS AVERAGE APPOX 19.9 MPG, CURRENT READ 13.2 WITH); VEHICLE OUT OF SERVICE 55 DAYS FOR REPAIRS IN THE LAST CALENDAR YEAR

KEY FOB SHOULD NOT GO OUT SO SOON. CAR DO NOT START. I CHANGED BATTERY. IT WILL UNLOCK AND LOCK DOORS BUT DO NOT START. I CALLED DODGE 8004236343 AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I CAN START IT WITH THE KEY BUT THERE IS NO WHERE TO PUT THE KEY OTHER THAN THE DOOR. THEN THEY ASKED ME TO PUT THE KEY FOB TO THE PUSH START ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF WHERE I INSERT THE EMERGENCY KEY AND PRESS TO START AND THAT DID NOT WORK. THEY WALKED ME THROUGH STEP BY STEP AND IT STILL DOES NOT WORK. PLUS MY CAR SHAKES WHILE DRIVING.

I HAVE A 2015 DODGE JOURNEY THAT HAS HAD MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH IT. BEFORE THE CAR WAS EVEN A YEAR OLD IT WAS TAKING INTO THE SHOP FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF ON ME WHILE DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION WHILE I WAS TURNING LEFT. THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. AT THAT POINT, THE SERVICE WAS ESCALATED TO A HIGHER DEPARTMENT AND A HIGH LEVEL REPAIR PERSON WAS BROUGHT IN. LESS THAN 15,000 MILES LATER, THE CAR BEGAN HEAVILY SHAKING EVERY TIME IT WAS DRIVEN. THE FIND WAS THAT THERE WAS A MISSING BOLT IN THE TIE ROD. THE SERVICE MAN SAID THERE WAS NO REASONABLE EXCUSE THAT COULD EXPLAIN HOW THIS WOULD EVEN OCCUR. TODAY, THE CAR IS IN THE SHOP FOR THE SECOND TIME IN THREE DAYS. INITIALLY FOR THE BATTER LIGHT COMING ON...

1. THE DRIVER SEAT BELT DOES NOT STAY LOCKED IN. PERIODICALLY I WOULD PUT THE SEATBELTS ON AND IT WILL UNBUCKLE AS IF IT WASN'T SECURED IN. I HEARD IT CLICK. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. LUCKILY I WAS NOT MOVING AT THE TIME. 2. I RECEIVED AN TUNE UP AT APPROXIMATELY 95K MILES. ONE IF THE PISTONS WAS MISFIRING. I BELIEVE THE 6TH ONE WAS. BRAND NEW PARTS AND WAS INSTALLED BY A PROFESSIONAL MECHANIC. THERE IS A KNOCKING NOISE THAT WILL NOT GO AWAY. THE BELTS HAVE BEEN CHECKED. 3. WHILE OUT OF TOWN I WAS PARKING AND WHILE IN REVERSE IT BECAME HARD TO TURN. I LATER FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS NO FLUID IN THE POWERSTEERING. THERE WAS A LOW FLUID INDICATION. .I IMMEDIATELY FILLED THE CAR UP WILL POWER STEERING FLUID. SINCE THEN IT HAS BEEN HARDER TO TURN MY WHEEL. IT STARTED OFF I...

VEHICLE STALLS AFTER COMING TO STOP AND ATTEMPTING TO RESUME. IT STARTS BACK UP AFTER BEING PUT INTO PARK AND PUSHING IGNITION BUTTON.

THE ENGINE TURNS OFF DURING OPERATION WITH NO WARNING. STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND BRAKES ARE HARD TO APPLY. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO WARN OF A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. PROBLEM IS RANDOM AND IS HAPPENING DURING VEHICLE OPERATION AND MAY CAUSE ACCIDENT IF ON THE HIGHWAY.

MY CAR HAS 64,000 MILES ON IT AND THE ABS LIGHT, TRACTION LIGHT, BRAKE LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT ON FRIDAY TO GET IT DIAGNOSED. AT 32,000 MILES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON UPON STARTING AND MY CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER 30 MILES PER HOUR. A FUEL INJECTOR SENSOR WENT OUT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE DRIVING UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS DIFFICULT TO TURN AND FAILED TO MOVE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (TURPIN DODGE CHRYSLER AND JEEP, 90 KENNEDY RD, DUBUQUE, IA 52002) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING HOSE PUMP FAILED AND THERE WAS METAL DEBRIS IN THE TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE FLUSH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE REPAIRS WERE NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE, IT SHUTS DOWN ON ME, STEERING WHEEL LOCKS AND IT STOPS ACCELERATING. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS, AS IT JUST STOPS ON ME. IT HAS LEFT ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CITY STREET, AND ITS BEEN A FEW TIMES NOW. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, ALTHOUGH, IN TWO OCCASIONS, WHEN THE CAR STARTED BACK UP, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES AWAY. IT'S NERVE WRECKING AND SCARY TO KNOW THAT IT WILL SHUT DOWN ON ME JUST LIKE THAT, WHILE IN MOTION. I DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY, I JUST HOPE, NEXT TIME, IT DOESN'T SHUT DOWN ON ME IN THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE MADE A SERVICE CAR TO THE CAR DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND WILL BE TAKING IT IN TO GET SEEN IN A COUPLE OF DAYS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE AIR BAG, THROTTLE CONTROL, AND TIRE PRESSURE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY, ALONG WITH THE KEY FOB LIGHT.

I HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURN ON- WITHIN SECONDS MY ENGINE SHUT OFF AND I LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKE CONTROL. I HAD TO LET THE CAR ROLL TO A STOP. I PUT THE CAR INTO PARK AND RESTARTED IT. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE ABOUT 100 FT AND IT TURNED OFF AGAIN. TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND CODE THAT CAME UP WAS FOR THE THROTTLE BODY TO BE REPLACED ($716 USD). I HAD IT FIXED BUT CAR STILL WAS NOT DRIVING THE SAME AS BEFORE THE REPLACEMENT. 10 DAYS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED IN MY SUBDIVISION. THE ENGINE TURNED OFF AND I LOST STEERING AND BRAKES. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. THIS TIME THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN OVER. IT WOULD TRY TO -YOU COULD HEAR THE ENGINE TRYING TO START. TOWED IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND NOW IT IS THE CRANK SENSOR?(ANOTHER $147USD). EACH...

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, MY ALTERNATOR WENT OUT. THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND ALL OF THE LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING. I MANAGED TO EXIT THE FREEWAY AND GET TO A SAFE POINT. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE I SEE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2011 - 2014 MODELS. THE VERY SAME THING HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, MY JOURNEY HAS JUST SHUT DOWN WHILE IN MOTION. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME AND MY HUSBAND. LIGHTS GO OFF, ENGINE WILL NOT START, CANNOT PUSH THE BRAKE TO INITIALIZE STARTUP. ONLINE I HAVE FOUND MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. SOME BELIEVE THAT IT IS RELATED TO THE KEY FAB. THE ELECTRONICS KEY IS NOT BEING RECOGNIZED AND SHUTTING DOWN THE CAR. I TOOK IT TO DODGE DEALER AND OF COURSE THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM OR GET A CODE. HOWEVER, THE DANGER OF THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!! I HAVE TWO BOYS UNDER THE AGE OF FOUR! WILL A DEATH HAVE TO OCCUR TO INVESTIGATE THIS!?

THE PROBLEM WAS THE ENGINE STALLING WHILE DRIVING. LOST THE ABILITY TO STEER AND BRAKE. I HAD THIS PROBLEM HAPPEN TO MY 18YR OLD DAUGHTER ON OCTOBER 9TH 2017. I CALLED THE DEALER ON OCTOBER 10TH WHERE WE PURCHASED IT TO EXPLAIN WHAT WAS GOING ON. THEY GOT IT IN THAT MORNING AND DROVE IT FOR ABOUT 30 MILES AND COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID THE CAR DID NOT GIVE THEM ANY CODES TO TELL THEM WHAT THE ISSUE WAS SO THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO REPLACE. I AM NOT SURE IF THERE IS A RELEVANCE TO THE PROBLEM BUT A WEEK BEFORE THIS HAPPENED MY KEYFOB WOULD NOT WORK AT ALL. THE CAR WOULD SAY KEY NOT DETECTED. I HAD TO PRESS THE KEYFOB INTO THE BUTTON TO GET THE CAR STARTED. ONCE I GOT HOME, WHICH IS 15 MILES...

WHILE DRIVING WITH OUR TWO CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND THE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES DID NOT WORK, THERE WAS NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. LUCKILY IT WAS A CITY SIDE ROAD AND WE WERE ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP WITHOUT HITTING ANYTHING OR GETTING REAR ENDED. NOTHING WOULD WORK ON THE VEHICLE. AFTER ABOUT 10 SECONDS THE ENGINE STARTED BACK UP WITHOUT HAVING THE BRAKE PRESSED OR PRESSING THE START BUTTON. MY WIFE DROVE THE VEHICLE BACK TO OUR HOUSE WHICH WAS ABOUT SIX BLOCKS AWAY.

WHILE DRIVING WITH MY 2 YOUNG CHILDREN MY CAR SHUT OFF OUT OF NO WHERE. I WAS DRIVING DOWN A BUSY STREET IN A LARGE CITY AND WENT TO TURN RIGHT INTO A PARKING LOT, AS SOON AS I PULLED INTO THE LOT THE CAR SHUT OFF, THE STEERING WHEEL AND BREAK LOCKED AND I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING TO MAKE THE CAR START. AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE OF FRANCIALLY PUSHING THE 'PUSH TO START' BUTTON THE CAR TURNED BACK ON. THANKFULLY WE WERE IN THE PARKING LOT AT THIS POINT BECUASE IF WE WERE STILL ON THE STREET WE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT.

CAR STALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS CAN CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT. THE FUEL SYSTEM IS ALWAYS THROWING A CODE

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR OUT OF A DRIVE THROUGH AND WHEN I GOT TO WHERE I NEEDED TO TURN, MY ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF. CAR STARTED ROLLING ELECTRICAL WAS STILL ON (LIGHTS, ETC;) BUT THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN AT ALL. I HAD TO PUT IT IN PARK, TURN IT OFF AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON AGAIN. AFTER THAT, IT WORKED AGAIN. WHAT IF THIS HAPPENS TO ME GOING 80 ON THE INTERSTATE? I HAVE CHILDREN TO THINK ABOUT.

WHEN IN MOTION GOING AT VARIETY SPEEDS THE CAR STALLS MID MOVEMENT AND POWER STEERING STOPS. IT HAS HAPPENED AT STOPS AS WELL AS IN MOTION.

WHILE DRIVING ON BUSY INTERSECTION VEHICLE JUST SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN. STEERING WHEEL LOCKED THEREFORE I HAD NO CONTROL. ALMOST CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE AND MEDIAN. HAD TO WAIT FOR IT TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION TO BE ABLE TO RESTART IT.

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE I NOTICED THAT IT JERKED AS I DROVE. SEVERAL MONTHS AGO THE JERKING GOT A LITTLE WORSE BUT I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT IT WAS MY BRAKES. AS I WAS DRIVING THE OTHER DAY I FELT SEVERAL JERKS AND THEN THE CALL CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP WITH ALL OF THE POWER STILL BEING. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT. THE CAR STARTED UP PERFECTLY FINE AS I SHIFTED IT INTO DRIVE THE CAR STARTED SHAKING AGAIN AND SHUT DOWN. I DID THE SAME ROUTINE FOR SEVERAL TRIES AND EVERY TIME I PUT IT INTO EITHER DRIVE OR REVERSE THE CAR WOULD SHUT DOWN. IF I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL THE CAR WAS PERFECTLY BUT IF I PUT IT IN DRIVE OR RESERVE

DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, I NOTICED MY SPEED DROPPING. I PUSHED ON THE GAS BUT GOT NO RESPONSE. THEN TRAFFIC BEGAN TO STOP BUT I COULDNT! MY BRAKES DID NOT WORK!!! I PUT MY HAZZARD LIGHTS ON AND BEGAN TO DRIFT ACROSS 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC BECAUSE THE STEERING ALSO DID NOT WORK!!!! I ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS AS I WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL MY VEHICLE. I MADE IT TO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND PUSHED THE EMERGENCY BREAK COMING TO A JOILTING STOP. ONCE I CAUGHT MY BREATH AND STOPPED SHAKING, I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. I THEN EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND CREPT ACROSS TOWN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE I HAD JUST LEFT GETTING MY OIL CHANGED PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT.

IN DEC 2015 I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE AND WAS INFORMED THAT ANOTHER NOTICE WOULD BE SENT WHEN I WAS TO CONTACT THE DEALER. THIS IS FOR THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM. THE 2ND NOTICE WAS RECEIVED IN JAN16. I CALLED THE DEALER ON 1/4 AND 1/21/16 AND WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT HAVE AND DID NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WOULD HAVE THE PART TO MAKE THE REPAIR.
