Two different dealerships have been unable to duplicate issues. Vehicle ran great 12/19 until may18, 2020. On 2-hr trip, vehicle stalled 4 times-no warning. In drive-thru line waiting, engine cut off - car wouldn't start. Towed to local dealership, rocky top cdjr in kodak, TN - diagnostics code po171 for sensor - not covered, my dime for $273. Drove home - no issues. On 5/21/2020, car started right up after filling up, then died - not vacuum issue. Tow truck driver put car in neutral manually to tow to dealership.

No longer trust vehicle and deeply concerned for my safety because vehicle has yet to be fixed. Have found other NHTSA complaints disturbingly similar from 2018, 2019 and 2020: #11113660 (CA), next 3 are GA, same car #11243797, #11244334, #11245530 and #11317210 (FL). Always asked if the vehicle is fixed. . . I do not know until it's no longer giving me problems. My vehicle is still not fixed. . . There is something internally wrong with this model!!!.

My 2017 Journey was manufactured in August of 2016 Dodge has a recall for Journeys for crankshaft position sensors for Journeys that were made from may of 2016 to July 2016 my car has been stalling out since 40,000 miles and the problem is getting worse upon research this may be the crankshaft position sensor and there have been multiple complants online stating others cars have had issues with this sensor but Dodge only did a limited recall on these vehicles. My car jerks 3-4 times when in reverse then stalls out or it jerks 3-4 times and stalls at stop lights or signs. Other online complaints ive seen state that people have had issues with it also stopping mid driving at high speeds.

This is a follow-up to 11244334 and 11243797. For background, the 2017 Journey began stalling intermittently and not throwing a code (starting at about 23,500 miles). The stalling occurred during all driving conditions and speeds. The dealership could not reproduce the event and told me to drive until it throws a code. After 6,000 miles and hundreds of stalls the vehicle finally threw a code, (29,500 miles, p0335 crankshaft position sensor). The sensor replaced, connector did not fit sensor well so it was replaced (subject of complaint 11244334). Thought it was fixed, and three days later, it stalled again on the highway. Only this time the traction light came on and brakes did not work intermittently. Back at the dealership, the technician in his frustration and opened the wiring harness. What he found about 8 inches from the connector was "crank shaft position wires cut and twisted together. . . " the service advisor asked who else was in there. I bought the vehicle new at the dealership and they have done all work and maintenance meaning this issue was in production.

This is a continuation of 11243797. For background, the 2017 doge Journey has been stalling intermittently starting at 23,000 miles most of the time not throwing a code. The dealership couldn't recreate the problem and without a code could not fix without a code. We endured 7,000 miles and 100's of stalls (stop and go traffic, highway, left turns in front of on-coming traffic) before a code was thrown indicating crankshaft position sensor. Upon inspection the dealer technician noted that the connector to the sensor did not fit the sensor.

The 2017 Dodge Journey stalls intermittently at all speeds and driving conditions. Stop and go in traffic, accelerating on the highway, coasting up a hill, starting from a stop in an intersection. Usually no codes are thrown. Recently the p0335 code was thrown, crankshaft speed sensor was replaced. Did not fix the problem. The 2016 Journey's were recalled for the same issue. Are the 2017's not worthy of a recall or does someone have to die first?.

2017 Dodge Journey sxt is stalling out at various speeds causing extreme safety hazard to those on board and other motorists. This is an ongoing issue that has been addressed at least 6 - 7 times now only to continue. Dodge knows something but has refused to come forward with a recall.
