I was driving down the road all the sudden my check engine light turned on in my steering locked up. I pulled to a middle lane since it was in a very busy road and shut my car off and tried to turn it back on and it started shaking. Again turn the car off let it sit for a little bit try to turn it on and it started shaking again. Try to third time I was able to drive it home the steering wheel unlocked and drove it home fine but the check engine light was on the whole time.

About October 2019, while pulling into a gas station, my 2013 Dodge Journey just shut off. No warnings, no lights went off to indicate what happened. I put it in park, pushed the ignition button so that the car was actually off, and then re-started it. It started with no issues, and was fine. Then in November of 2019 my check engine light came on, I took it to a local auto parts store and had them run a diagnostic on it, which came back that the crank shaft position sensor need some attention. However, the next day when I started my car, the check engine light wasn't on, and it stayed off. That is until today, 2. 20. 2020. While driving down a highway, the check engine light came on again. I took it to the auto store, had them run a test, which came back as the crank shaft position sensor again. My car hasn't stopped on me yet, and I hope it doesn't, and I am looking to get this repaired. However, every one I have seen having the same issue, states it happens repeatedly. I really hope to have a recall on this, as it appears to be an issue with the vehicle itself and not something the consumers should have to keep paying for! we shouldn't have to drive in fear every time we get behind the wheel, especially when we have children riding in our vehicles! please fix this!.
Battery light came on diagnostic test was performed I was told to change the alternator which I did. An hour later the light came on again then I was told to replace the battery which I did. After an hour drive the light came on again I was told the battery sensor needed to be replaced. The next day the car died completely I had to get towed. I was told to get an alternator from mopar which I did. New battery another new alternator a new sensor now the check engine light is on.
Vehicle stalls for no reason while driving. Makes braking and steering very difficult. This has happened 4 times in the last 2 weeks. All times the weather was good and dry. There are no codes or check engine light. There is no way to diagnosis the problem.
