1 Engine Stall problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2019

Engine has stalled numerous times, or cut off completely resulting in the steering and brakes to not work, there is a recall but, dealer said that it doesn't pertain to my vehicle, this was at approximately 73,000 miles.

2 Engine Stall problem

Failure Date: 08/16/2019

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.

3 Engine Stall problem

Failure Date: 03/09/2019

Vehicle was in reverse. As soon as the gas was pressed the engine stalled out. We were pulling out from a parking spot when it happened. This is now the fourth instance in 4 weeks this has happened. Clearly Chrysler hasn't found all its vehicles produced with this problem simply because the VIN# says it should be fine.

4 Engine Stall problem

Failure Date: 12/14/2018

Tl the contact owns a 2016 Dodge Journey. While driving 60 mph, the engine stalled. The contact was able to pull the vehicle over to the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to glenbrook Dodge Chrysler Jeep (100 w coliseum blvd, fort wayne, in 46805) where it was diagnosed that the crank sensor harness plugs needed to be replaced and the throttle body needed to be cleaned. The vehicle was repaired by an independent mechanic. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that the vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 16v907000 (engine). The approximate failure mileage was 105,000.

5 Engine Stall problem

Failure Date: 12/15/2017

I was driving 65 mph in a middle lane on the freeway when my engine suddenly stalled out. I lost the ability to steer or brake, and my vehicle quickly lost speed. I barely managed to get to the side of the freeway before it completely stopped. I called my husband to come get me, and he managed to restart it and drove it home while I followed in our truck. About 5 miles down the road, the engine stalled out on him. We took it to the Dodge dealership, and the mechanic who took it for a test drive freaked out when the problem happened to him with my husband in the passenger seat. However, they found nothing wrong with the vehicle and refuse replace any of the recalled parts from 2016 Dodge Journey's relating to the engine stalling out because they insist my car was manufactured a couples of weeks before the recall goes into effect. My concern is for my three toddlers who were sitting in the back seat and nearly got killed. I have called Dodge repeatedly about this, but they haven't fixed it yet or given me a reason why my one year old car is so dangerous.
