Automatic Emergency Braking problem #1

Was just driving and the engine just cut off now it want start. I carried it to a certified mechanic he said the motor locked up. He also said it's common for this 3. 6 to do this. Something about stuff getting in the engine and causes the bearings to mess up and the pistons.

Adaptive Cruise Control problem #2

Brake light, abs light, and traction control light lit up on dash. Took car to dealership and the issue was diagnosed as a faulty abs module. This is mopar part 68160269ab, which is discontinued. I was also told that there were no after-market options, and that programming a used one might not work. So I have no option to get abs functionality for my car. I am willing to pay for the part and labor to get this repaired, and Dodge is not even giving me the option.
