4 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 09/10/2020

Car will stall anywhere and anytime and doesn't give you enough time to pull over. Lose all power to accelerator and steering wheel. Check engine light comes on car will not shut off and will not move. If car is off it won't start often being towed. Camshaft sensor and crankshaft position sensor have been replaced 3 times within a year. Truly a safety hazard especially at highway speeds. The radio and air controls have a mind of their own after you manually shut them off they come back on or start blowing out hot air on legs.

6 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 10/18/2019

When you are driving the car it doesn't matter the speed the car will turn off without any warning. Causing a dangerous and scary situation after you put in park and press the start button amd it will turn back on. Happened on 10/ 07/18 the first time replaced crankshaft sensor. It happened again on 10/18/19. I noticed Journeys have this problem on almost all years models and I was going through the recals and inoticed that a majority of people complain or have the same problem about this sensor. Even though Dodge is only recalling 2016 Journeys because of this problem. I think Dodge should do a recall for all of the years for Dodge Journeys over thos problem and its extremely dangerous for the car to just turn off without warning. That being a family car that could lead to an accident.
