1 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 04/08/2021

My car stalled on me while driving. The first time (2014) it happened I was making a turn on a city street. I took it to the dealer and they couldn't find anything wrong with it while under warranty. It just stalled while driving last week for a second time. I was waiting on a light on a city street. My car was completely dead I couldn't put the hazard lights on. I was in the middle of a school zone. I tried starting it and nothing. Two gentlemen had to push my car out of traffic. This is very unsafe, imagine had I been on the highway someone would of hit from me behind as I had no power at all. There was no way of warning the cars behind me as I had no power. I replaced the battery in 1/2021 and alternator in 3/2021. I have seen many complaints on the Dodge forum website I believe something has to be done for safety issues. Also my bluetooth system is not working that is also a safety issue. I did complain to Dodge and they couldn't do anything about it. I have seen a lot of complaints on the Dodge forum website. My Dodge Journey is currently at a shop under diagnostics. It makes it unsafe for me to want to drive it at this point.

2 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 09/24/2019

My Journey keeps stalling on me especially when stopped (red lights,stop signs, in traffic etc. ) at one point it even stalled out on me while driving and I couldn't move the steering wheel, brakes, nothing! it completely locked up. I was lucky that that time I was in my neighborhood otherwise I would have gotten in a car accident. At first the fuel cap light kept coming on, Dodge dealer told us to just have the cap replaced (we did) but the light keeps coming on and off still and not resolving any problems. Then a red lightening bolt came on a couple times and that's when my car would shut off at a stop and try restarting on its own. Now at the moment no lights are on and it's still stalling. And every time is stalls it's always in drive and will completely turn off. It has stalled in parked a few times also but majority of the time is when stopped in drive. This is very very dangerous. I have 3 kids who are always with me. I can't imagine if something happened because of this. I've done my research and noticed there are many many people having the same exact issue. Dodge needs to recall the vehicle quickly before they run into a lawsuit.

4 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 12/20/2018

Misfire, loss of power, and stalling while in motion and while idling . Had vehicle inspected. Cylinder #2 has a misfire and the cylinder head needs replaced. I was informed that my year make and model was involved in an extended warrantly from Chrysler to cover all vehicles fitted with the 3. 6 liter motor for this exact same issue. However my particular VIN isn't showing that it is covered even though I have the exact same motor, year make and model, and issues as the others. This is not fair that I am experience these issues but they refuse to fix it because my VIN isn't on the list!!! this is very expensive to fix and is dangerous. I was driving on the highway and completely lost power, I was almost hit by another vehicle while I was trying to find a place to get off the road. This has happened on several occasions. The vehicle will stall when I am pulling out , which has left me stalling in the middle of the road on more than one occasion. This is my primary vehicle and I have no choice but to continue to drive it. This is a defect that has been recognized by Chrysler group and yet they refuse to fix my vehicle. The extended warranty was to cover the pentastar v6 3. 6 liter six-cylinder to 10 years or 150,000 miles which ever comes first.
