I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, AT ABOUT 60MPH, WAS SLOWLY THE CAR DOWN BECAUSE I WAS GOING TO BE MAKING A RIGHT TURN. OUT OF NOWHERE MY STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO LOCK UP, AS DID THE BRAKES. I HAD NO CONTROL OF MY CAR. MY CAR CAME TO A STOP BY ITSELF AND I DID NOT HAVE CONTROL OF IT AGAIN UNTIL I TURNED IT OFF AND RESTARTED IT. I WAS ALMOST IN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT

ENGINE SHUT OFF ON 7/7/2017 APPOX 2:40 PST THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT ON A BUSY SURFACE STREET WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I PRESSED THE GAS TO MOVE THROUGH THE LIGHT AND THERE WAS NO POWER COMING FROM THE ENGINE. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF. I PUSH BUTTON STARTED THE ENGINE AND THE CAR OPERATED AS NORMAL. ON 7/8/2017 APPROX 1:30 PST I WAS COMPLETING A LEFT HAND TURN WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH NO POWER COMING FROM THE ENGINE. I PUT MY FLASHERS ON, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. WITHIN SECONDS I PUSH BUTTON STARTED THE VEHICLE AND IT STARTED UP NORMALLY.

MY VEHICLE RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF. LOSES ALL ENGINE POWER, POWER STEERING, ETC. HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER 3 DIFFERENT TIMES AND NO ONE CAN FIND THE PROBLEM. ONCE WE WERE STOPPED AT A LIGHT, 2 TIMES WE WERE PULLING OUT OF PARKING SPOTS, AND THIS LAST TIME MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON THE STREET AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE SURGED AND THE SERVICE ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER AND WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CAM POSITION SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.

"TAKATA RECALL" ON 4 OR MORE OCCASIONS MY VEHICLE HAS SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THIS NORMALLY OCCURS WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR AFTER TAPPING THE BRAKE. THE FIRST TIME WAS ABOUT 2 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE AFTER LEAVING WORK AND STOPPING AT A STOP LIGHT. IT HAS DIED WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO TAKE A CURVE AND ALSO ON A BUSY HIGHWAY OUT OF TOWN TAPPING BRAKES IN HEAVY TRAFFIC GOING ABOUT 50MPH AND ALMOST GETTING REAR ENDED. EACH TIME I WOULD HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTART THE VEHICLE.

THE CAR STALLED OUT WITH NO WARNING ON THE HIGHWAY. LUCKILY I WAS GOING SLOW BECAUSE I WAS GOING ON AN OFF RAMP TO GET ONTO THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR SIEZED UP COMPLETELY I HAD NO CONTROL I BARELY WAS ABLE TO LIMP IT INTO A PARKING LOT. I WAS LUCKY. THE CAR RESTARTED WITH NO PROBLEMS AFTER THAT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SPENT 3 FULL DAYS DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM. THEY FOUND NOTHING. I LOOKED ONLINE AND THERE ARE SIMILIAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VEHICLE. AND THE SAME THING IS SAID OVER AND OVER AGAIN.........NOTHING IS KNOWN ABOUT THE PROBLEM THUS NOTHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT THE PROBLEM. MEANWHILE I AM STUCK DRIVING A CAR THAT COULD AT ANY TIME DO THE SAME THING AGAIN. IT IS LIKE PLAYING RUSSIAN ROULETTE. I DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE THIS CAR AGAIN I DO NOT WANT THIS CAR ANYMORE.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR WITH 11 MILES ON IT . A COUPLE WEEKS AGO I WAS GOING ABOUT 30 MPH AND I STOPPED AT A 4 WAY STOP . I DID A COMPLETE STOP THE ENGINE TURNED OFF THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND I WAS STUCK IN THE INTERSECTION LUCKILY I DIDN'T GET HIT . I HAD TO PUT IT BACK IN PARK AND IT TURNED ON . SCARY SITUATION . TODAY I ATTENPTED TO TURN ON THE IGNITION AND IT JUST TURNED AND TURNED FOR 30 SECONDS AND CAR DIDN'T START. I TURNED IT OFF AND TRIED AGAIN THE CAR STARTED BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WILL TAKE TO DEALER ASAP

WHILE DRIVING MY BRAND NEW DODGE JOURNEY JUST PURCHASED ALMOST 2 MONTHS AGO, THE ENGINE STALLS OUT SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES NOW, WITH THE LAST TIME BEING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY ALMOST CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT. THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF, STEERING WHEEL AND BRAKES LOCK AND CAR JUST COASTS TO A STOP. AFTER A MINUTE THE CAR CAN BE RESTARTED. NO LIGHTS COME ON TO SIGNIFY A PROBLEM DURING THIS TIME, IT JUST STALLS OUT COMPLETELY CAUSING A MAJOR POTENTIAL FOR AN ACCIDENT. BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO SAYS THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. I HAVE 3 CHILDREN AND THIS HAPPENED WITH 1 IN THE CAR, PUTTING US IN SERIOUS DANGER.

VEHICLE STALLS RANDOMLY WHILE DECELLERATING, BRAKING, STOPPED OR DRIVING. ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS REMAIN OPERATIONAL (A/C. RADIO, GAUGES, ETC.) BUT BRAKING AND STEERING BECOME DIFFICULT. YOU MUST COME TO A STOP, PARK AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES NOW, TWICE TO MYSELF AND ONCE TO MY WIFE. TWO DEALERSHIPS HAVE FOUND NO ISSUE SO NOTHING CAN BE DONE. I AM AT THE END OF MY OPTIONS AND FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. PLEASE ADVISE ME OF MY OPTIONS BEFORE ONE OF US IS HURT OR WORSE.

I HAD 2016 DODGE JOURNEY BOUGHT FROM SUPERSTITION DODGE IN MESA ARIZONA. THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF BY ITSELF WHILE BRAKING AND ONE TIME WHILE DRIVING. WHEN ENGINE SHUTS OFF THE CAR LOOSES POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. THIS COULD CAUSE FETAL ACCIDENT AND MAY BE DEATH. I CONTACTED DODGE TEMPE ARIZONA. I WENT TO THEM AFTER IT HAPPEN FIRST TIME AND THEY SAID NO ERROR CODE AND IT COULD BE A GLITCH!! THEN WHEN IT HAPPEN FOR SECOND AND THIRD TIME AND I WAS ABOUT TO MAKE AN ACCIDENT, I CONTACTED THEM AGAIN AND CONTACTED DODGE COMPANY. THEY OPEN A CASE # 29588743. AND TEMPE DODGE TOOK AGAIN FOR OVER A WEEK AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND THE ROOT CAUSE. THEY WANT TO GIVE ME THE CAR BACK AND I AM AFRAID ABOUT MY FAMILY SAFETY AND PEOPLE AND CARS IN THE STREET. I CONTACTED DODGE AGAIN AND THE...
