My Dodge Journey's engine shut off twice while I was driving with no warning. No loss of lights or radio, but the engine just shuts off and car cannot be restarted. The first time I was driving on a highway, and right after accelerating from a stop at a red light the car died. Had to have it towed, and had an auto part store do some basic tests and was told it was just a bad battery, however when it happened again the day after replacing the battery. This time I was on a city street having just exited off of the interstate. I was in traffic and again the car just lost power due to the engine shutting down. Again it would not start and could not be jump started so had it towed to the dealer. Dealer was able to get a code p061c, and followed instructions to update the pcm. From what I understand, a software update was applied to the power control module. I am very concerned with the fact that my car can just shut down the engine with no warning at all. Very dangerous.
I was driving my car through town(35mph) when it just shut off. I didn't have power steering or brakes. No alert lights come on. I managed to pull into a gas station, put it in park then it restarted after I pushed the button. I did chat with Chrysler and they said no recalls or issues showed up for my car. After googling my experience, I found numerous other complaints from people having the same problem. If I had been going faster on the highway or even on our curvy backroads I could have been seriously injured or even killed! I drive my children in this car and I'm scared to death to get back in it. I'm still paying on nb this car and it's a deathtrap!.
