Was parking on an incline, I had come to a complete stop. When I applied the parking/emergency brake the cable disconnected from the parking/emergency brake pedal. There was an audible pop and the pedal fell towards the firewall. The pedal no longer retracts without manual assistance. When fully retracted, if not held in place, the weight of the pedal trips the brake's sensor and the brake alarm.
The problem was the engine stalling while driving. Lost the ability to steer and brake. I had this problem happen to my 18yr old daughter on October 9th 2017. I called the dealer on October 10th where we purchased it to explain what was going on. They got it in that morning and drove it for about 30 miles and could not recreate the problem. They said the car did not give them any codes to tell them what the issue was so they could not do anything because they did not know what to replace. I am not sure if there is a relevance to the problem but a week before this happened my keyfob would not work at all. The car would say key not detected. I had to press the keyfob into the button to get the car started. Once I got home, which is 15 miles away, I noticed the tpm sensors were only reading 1 tire pressure. The others were reading "---". The keyfob battery's were replaced on both keyfobs to make sure that was not the issue but it didn't help. I disconnected the battery to reset the computer and the keyfobs started to work correctly. I drove the car a few miles and the tpm sensors started to read. Again I am not sure if this is related but thought I should point it out. This is a dangerous problem and could end up very bad with not being able to steer or brake because you loose all power. Here is a video of the problem happening. Https://drive. Google.

2 lights came on on the dash. It was determined to be the anti lock brake sensor so I had it replaced. Less than 30 days later, it came on again. It was determined to be the same thing but they wouldn't cover fixing it because they didnt know if it was the same one they had already replaced ir another of the sensors. Apparently this is something that happens on all Dodge Journeys and for some reason, a recall hasnt been issued.
