Pulling to go up bridge or highway. Tracking lights check engine light abs light comes off and on. Braking is hard.
I was driving my 2016 Dodge Journey crossroad and the abs lights came on and then I felt my car jerk like it was going to stall. I tried to get off the freeway and my car stalled out. I put it in drive and it would stall again. It sounded like the engine was going to fall out of my car. It would stall out even in reverse. It would only run in park. The tow truck driver said it sounds like the crank shaft or transmission. My car is only 3yrs old and well taken care of. No check engine light came on, the scanner wouldn't read any error codes. I am currently waiting on the mechanic to look at it this weekend, my 9month old niece and I almost died by being rear ended by traffic coming off the off ramp.
"sometimes" the abs and traction control light turn on. I hear a ticking noise for a few seconds. . If I push on the breaks I can hear a grinding noise. The lights always turn off after a minute or two and the grinding noise only happens when both the abs and tracking lights are on.
�takata recall� in less than a year the abs light have come on. The first time it ever came on was stopping for a red light on the highway the vehicle kept going. Second time less than a year later the light has come back on and you have to press the brakes then release and and press the brakes again for the vehicle to stop adequately.
I started my vehicle first thing in the morning and my abs light and the traction control light were on while the vehicle was in park. And my car made a loud noise while braking normally just pulling up to a stop sign. The light went off after 10 minutes and then I got to work and turned my car off. After with I turned the car on and the light had come back on and I was having the same issue. I noticed this was a recall for previous years from 2012-2015 of the same vehicle reporting similar issues. Please help.
Several months after having new tires put on my SUV, I noticed the service awd, traction control, and abs lights were on continuously on my panel when in motion and upon learning the ignition button. Sometimes they'd go off either moving or stationary but then as 2 months passed, they'd remain on at all times. I wasn't able to engage cruise control when those lights were on. I had 2 near accidents from nearly hitting 2 large deer. I hit my brakes and my tires did but wasn't to grip the road and just felt like they were on ice (in summer) . When they would grip they made a loud noise and then I was able to stop but not without smelling burnt rubber. I have heard from a friend of mine that is a mechanic that he had a feeling it was my abs sensor but didnt have access to a Dodge diagnostic system as he works for a different dealership. Ive heard from different people that this has been a "common" problem recently with Journeys. I paid 97 dollars for a diagnostic forma non-dealer garage and they confirmed it was my right front abs sensor and it was a manufacturer defect. I called the Dodge dealership and I was not informed when I brought it in there for the recall that it was under warranty. I brought my SUV in and the advisor didn't believe it was my sensor until it was replaced. I was informed that the Journeys have been coming in by the dozen over this issue and all over the u. S. That was the only sensor checked and replaced and my warranty is about done. Please investigate have 3 kids with special needs and I don't want accidents for anyone over this issue. My kids nearly lost me last year in a terrible accident. My vehicle was serviced oct. 2018.
5-10-18 had to bring my vehicle in for a new tire and prior to the tire, the abs light would intermittently pop on and off. This would happen mostly after I started the vehicle and after backing up and traveling a few feet, it would sound and feel like it would catch and grind, then release after traveling about a mile, it would go off. When I brought it in to get the tire replaced, I asked them to look at it, they said the abs light was coming on because the battery was faulty and they replaced the battery. (I think maybe they just reset something) I asked them to give me an itemized list of parts changed for the work, and I never received it. I only received the invoice for the tire. Now. . . . Rear ended in Dec 27, 2018 - between the accident and time it took holidays/insurance to get me an appointment with dealer, the abs light started to pop on again and the radio screen grayed out and came back on(so far that has only happened once). My husband let them know to check that as well because there was impact damage on the left front bumper and dealer only repaired the damages reported by adjuster and didn't address the abs/radio issue. So. . . . . Now what? feel like they just put a band aid on it until the warranty ran out and then again after damage sustained in an accident that was not my fault.
