Engine cuts off while going down the road without warning. The problem is the crankshaft position sensor. Very dangerous nearly killed my wife and I when a 18 wheeler barely missed us. We were on a major interstate doing 70mph when it just shut off. There are active recalls for this problem. Chrysler is aware of the problem but will only talk to people whose vehicle is listed under their recall list. The problem is a lot more widespread. Recall number is s-89.
My 2016 Dodge Journey experienced a crankshaft position sensor "a" circuit malfunction (obd code p0335) while I was driving, resulting in an engine stall and total loss of power. Nearly resulted in a crash. I've since observed from other drivers that this is a very common failure on the Dodge Journey, and a serious safety issue. A recall for this problem (safety recall s89 / NHTSA 16v-907) was issued in February 2017, but applies only to a limited number of vehicles built from may to July 2016. Based on my own experience and that of other owners as reported online, I believe the issue is more widespread than the NHTSA apparently believes, and I suggest that the existing recall be expanded considerably.
My wife was driving her 2016 Dodge Journey on a street with a 45 mph speed limit when it suddenly lost power and died. It was towed to the dealership and they replaced the crankshaft sensor plug . We picked up the vehicle on 4/19/19 and it died again on 4/22/19. This time, the car was stationary, but had I be towed again. This time, they replaced the crank shaft sensor. We found a recall issued by NHTSA - recall s89/NHTSA 16v-907 covering 2016 Journeys for the engine built from may 8,2016 to July 12, 2016. The build date on the Journey we bought was 8/13/2015 and in service date of 1/15/2016. I called Chrysler and they denied any recall initially ( same as the dealership ) but then said the build date was set outside of the time frame set by NHTSA. I have the original part, replaced. In my possession. I feel that this problem may be more widespread and may not be reported by more people based on lack of acknowledgment by both Chrysler and the dealership as they are writing it off as a part that � just broke �.
