The contact owns a 2012 Dodge Journey. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled when she approached a stop sign and a stop light. There were no warning indicators illuminated before or after the failure. The vehicle was driven to the sherman Dodge Chrysler Jeep ram dealer (7601 skokie blvd, skokie, IL) where the vehicle was diagnosed. The diagnosis was undetermined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.

My vehicle has been constantly stalling out while in motion and it is unsafe to drive. My vehicle also picks up speed randomly without excelling the gas pedal. I have a family of five and due to this issue we are having to borrow other vehicles. Its sad that Dodge has not done anything about this issue as I see 100's of people have been making the same online reports. I have one year left on this vehicle and was so happy until this issue arose. I do not want to start over with a vehicle & due to so many complaints I feel like Dodge should at least waive down payment deposits to get these vehicles off the road before a huge lawsuit is done against them.

The car stalled on me a total of 3 times when coming to a stop at busy intersections with cars coming up behind me fast. I took it in a total of two times, to no avail. They stated they could find nothing wrong. The second time I took it in was after a week of very sketchy engine trouble (where it almost stalled numerous times) and the last 2 times it had stalled on me. When I got it back it drove much better, but yet they stated they didn't find anything. I have researched and this is not an isolated incident. I have a cousin who has a Chrysler t&c, same year and the same thing happened and again they could find nothing (they are the same engine. ) I have put a complaint into Dodge. I have my paperwork form service at Dodge, just unable to upload right now.

The contact owns a 2012 Dodge Journey. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled. The contact also stated that the vehicle failed to start on several occasions. An independent mechanic diagnosed the vehicle and informed that the motor lock and the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure was 116,000.

On November 11,2015, we were traveling from home to a doctor's appointment for a surgical procedure. We were traveling on interstate 65, in heavy traffic, going around 70 mph when vehicle suddenly stalled, engine malfunction light came on, and vehicle lost all power. We were in the right lane and able to coast off the highway and avoid being hit. Vehicle would not restart and had to be towed to dealership that sold it. They were able to crank the vehicle and said there was nothing wrong. Because of safety concerns we pushed them to check further and they then said there were a couple of sensors that needed to be replaced (camshaft position sensor & crankshaft position sensor). We're in the process of replacing those. The vehicle is a family vehicle that is used regularly to transport children and other family members. There is a definite safety concern with a vehicle that would suddenly lose power, with no warning, and could lead to a serious accident. Dodge should recall until it is repaired.

My family was in the vehicle (my son was 4 weeks old at the time, my daughter 2) on the new york state thruway and the vehicle stalled out at 65 mph. My husband was able to maneuver to the side of the road and restart the vehicle. About 15 miles later, it happened again. We exited the highway and the warning indicator light illuminated. Shortly after that, the low fuel light illuminated. It's happend two other times since that first incident. The dealership has told me that they can't recreate the incident and the codes aren't active so they can't verify the scenario. Chrysler has told me there is nothing they can do. The vehichle in unpredictable, unreliable and in my opinion, unsafe. I did a google search on the issue and found a forum indicating stalling issues with Dodge Journeys dating back to 2008. The responses from service professionals is astounding - everything from it being a result of the vehicle just being washed to key fob deprogramming.
