Engine Stall problems of the 2010 Dodge Journey

The car engine stalls without warning, power steering locks up and brakes lock up causing all passengers to become a "sitting duck" prone to incoming impacts!.

First major problem is car starts when it feels like it, had to replace starter ($520) in the first week that I owned the vehicle after getting a jump several times I purchased I jump kit ($125)in case it wouldnt start and there were no other cars around then the jump kit wouldnt even work. So I had to have the car towed ($130) and the starter replaced. If I shut the car off and try to start it again 10 mins later it wont start but if you wait about an hour, it will start. This still happens after having the starter replaced so I have to keep the car running or risk being stranded for an hour or so. Second problem, about a month after buying the vehicle I was on the highway and was using the cruise control, was going down a hill and the rpms went all the way up into the red and high as it could then went down to zero and the engine completly stalled while on the highway. Since then I haven't used the cruise control. Thirdly, the passanger side has zero heat. The defroster, the heat vents on the dash and the heat vents at the feet all blow out cold air. Fourth problem, the horn would honk randomly, while driving or parked. 5th problem the key fob does what it wants when it wants. Came out of the mall and my alarm was going off (just the lights I had to remove the horn fuses because of the honking issue) and could not turn the alarm off or unlock the doors with the fob, had to use the actual key from inside the fob to get in the car and then start it, shut if off then I was able to shut off the alarm. 6th problem the car will randomly unlock when I'm not even holding the key fob and the front windows will roll down half way. This car has been nothing but issues since I bought it Dodge needs to have a recall for this vehicle there are so many safety issues! bought this car because I wanted a safe vehicle for my family and this car had been anything but!.

Today when we drive on the intersection of street in a city, the car's engine stalled twice and the steel wheel can not work. It is very dangerous and may cause traffic accident.

When driving, both at low neighborhood speed and at highway speed, the engine stalls, lights and radio stay on, steering wheel locks and brakes lock. It has happened several times intermittently and unpredictably. I didn't become scared until it happened when I was on a highway going 60mph and almost wrecked trying to safely exit (date indicated below). The car is now in my driveway because I am afraid to drive it. A mechanic said it was related to a previously-issued safety recall but when I called a dealer to make an appointment for the recall repair, I was told that my vehicle was not included in the recall, despite the glaring similarity. I have not received a recall notice and, as stated, dealerships will not repair my vehicle for free.

Car engine stalls when braking, slowing down and also stopping at stop signs. Randomly occurs often.

My 2010 Dodge Journey's engine stalls and I have no power steering or brakes while I am driving. This problem happened first in Nov. 2015 with around 68000 miles on vehicle and thought it was a fluke or caused by bad weather. It started to happen several times again March/April 2016. Dealership could not find the problem. Took it back in to dealership in June 2016, still could not find issue. Continued to happen and took it in in September for that and other issues (horn going off randomly and battery draining overnight). Now Dec 2016 and the car stalled while driving 3 times this week and the last time someone almost rear ended me because of it. My life and my children's life are at stake. It has only happened when I am going under 45mph at this point and on some occasions it is while I am slowing down to turn in a parking space but sometimes it is in the middle of the road driving. It has happened in the morning/afternoon/evening, rain, snow and sunshine, hot and cold days. It does not happen everyday which makes this issue even worse I never know when it will occur. The only issue that remains the same is that my traction system light comes on 90% of the time this occurs. I have told this to the dealership every time and they still cannot resolve the issue. I am extremely upset and have several complaints filed with Chrysler/Dodge headquarters.

Engine stalled while driving causing loss of power steering & power brakes. Diagnosis revealed that engine would stall if key was moved slightly. Could have caused a serious accident. Superstition springs Chrysler replaced the win module at a cost of $492. 46. How many people have to die or be injured before the manufacturer accepts responsibility, initiates a recall and takes care of the problem at no cost to the vehicle owner?? I believe that Chrysler corp should reimburse me for the cost of this repair.
