I was driving down the street and loss all power and brake control. No warning lights and no notice just shut off while driving, radio and lights everything cut off without warning.
Driving the car on the highway, it started to slow down; the vehicle stopped and did not move. My children and I scared but thank god help came. The lights on the car turned on, indicating something was wrong. I couldn't read the sign or understand what went wrong. The car will not stay on. It shut off, and the code indicated the cylinder is not working. I reported it and towed the Dodge dealership vehicle because the representative said it would be covered because it's a recall. My car is still at the dealership. More than two months and no one can tell me why the car won't work.
Stalling in traffic while driving, very dangerous with my family in car. When you crank up the car and start driving it just shuts off no matter how fast or slow you're going. Scared to death, just had to park it until we find out what's going on. We read about a number of complaints very similar to what we're going through. Please help!!.

Exact words the engine crank shaft but it was working fine for the techs so it was at my choice to have it changed or not. It seemed to be working fine.

My vehicle randomly shuts off. Loses all engine power, power steering, etc. Has been at the dealer 3 different times and no one can find the problem. Once we were stopped at a light, 2 times we were pulling out of parking spots, and this last time my vehicle was in motion on the street and the engine shut off.
While driving my brand new Dodge Journey just purchased almost 2 months ago, the engine stalls out suddenly while driving. This has happened 3 times now, with the last time being on a major highway almost causing a major accident. The engine shuts off, steering wheel and brakes lock and car just coasts to a stop. After a minute the car can be restarted. No lights come on to signify a problem during this time, it just stalls out completely causing a major potential for an accident. Brought to the dealership who says they can find nothing wrong with the car. I have 3 children and this happened with 1 in the car, putting us in serious danger.
I had 2016 Dodge Journey bought from superstition Dodge in mesa arizona. The engine shuts off by itself while braking and one time while driving. When engine shuts off the car looses power steering and brakes. This could cause fetal accident and may be death. I contacted Dodge tempe arizona. I went to them after it happen first time and they said no error code and it could be a glitch!! then when it happen for second and third time and I was about to make an accident, I contacted them again and contacted Dodge company. They open a case # 29588743. And tempe Dodge took again for over a week and they were not able to find the root cause. They want to give me the car back and I am afraid about my family safety and people and cars in the street. I contacted Dodge again and the case manager name is venessa x40752. She said there nothing she can do and she wants to close the case. They do not care and they want to give the car back to me knowingly that the car could have an accident again if the engine shuts off and the car fail to brake and steer. What happen is when driving, sometimes "3 times" when brake "2 times" or when slowing while running "1 time" the engine shuts off and the ignition button still shows run and ac is still working on the battery. When engine shuts off no brakes so car keeps moving and steering is very hard to control because of loss of power. It is life threating and could cause death to pedestrians and or passengers. Please help, I do not want my family to get injured or die and I do not want people in the street to get injured or die.
