The engine on my car was stalling and it died in the middle of a busy road. Thankfully, it happened in the turning lane so I didn't get hit. Thought it was the battery, so we bought and new one and had it replaced. The check engine light came on after the battery was replaced and the car engine would just turn and stall and would not start. Had to tow my car to the dealership. I called and there were no recalls listed for my VIN, but I saw a Chrysler recall s89 that was for 2016 Dodge Journeys for engine stalling and would need the camshaft or crankshaft sensor replaced. It affects 2016 Dodge Journeys manufactured may 9, 2016 to July 15, 2016. My 2016 Dodge Journey was manufactured on July 11, 2016. Had diagnostics ran (at my expense) and the crank sensor needs to be replaced. Chrysler was contacted and is giving me the runaround to fixing the issue all because the recall is not on my VIN.

Stopped at red light and when I step on the gas peddle check engine light came on and the car stalled, the dashboard, radio and a/c were still on. Attempted to turn on car and it shake to try to turn off but wouldn�t. Took it to carmax and car would not recognized car key to turn on. Carmax thought it was the battery and it wasn't that. They said it was the fuel pump, had it replaced but car would start and it turn off less then 5min. Carmax suggested taking to Dodge dealership for engine tare down to find out what is wrong with it. Estimate of cost to repair is $3200-5300. Car is at 77k-78k miles on it. From what I read this is where the car starts to stall upon reaching amount of miles on it.

I was driving down the highway and my car stalled completely. I had to coast to the side of the highway and try to restart my car. Also, have issues with battery being drained of all power, had to replace battery. My horn randomly beeps whether driving or not. Alarm system will sound all hours of night, had to pull fuse. Since then the hazard lights randomly blink off and on. The day after the engine stalled on me, now have a check engine light on and code is throwing out its the erg valve system and gasket. . . These are big issues and need to be repaired. I'm not happy with these issues and Dodge needs to do something about it.

When you are driving the vehicle it starts to change gears very violently. Eventually not too long after that the car dings, the check engine light comes on the car shuts itself off and hopefully if you are in a safe area of road you can pull over, put the vehicle in park, then turn it off and on again then continue. There is no trigger to it happening, no specific conditions, it can happen while turning, driving, on the freeway, on a busy street, in a round a bout, ( all of which I have experienced) it doesn't matter. It has also been happening since about a month after I purchased the vehicle which was October 2019 and has been happening since even after all the trips to the service center and days out of work. Landmark Dodge keeps "fixing it" but it continues to cut off while I drive and transport my children and I in it.

Tl- the contact owns a 2013 Dodge Journey. The contact stated while driving at 55 mph when the check engine warning light unexpectedly illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic for a diagnosis and the diagnosis incorrect purge flow, loss vehicle speed, and loss will distance. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was made aware of the failure and did not offer any assistance. The manufacturer was not made aware of this issue. The approximate failure mileage was 117,000 tp.

About October 2019, while pulling into a gas station, my 2013 Dodge Journey just shut off. No warnings, no lights went off to indicate what happened. I put it in park, pushed the ignition button so that the car was actually off, and then re-started it. It started with no issues, and was fine. Then in November of 2019 my check engine light came on, I took it to a local auto parts store and had them run a diagnostic on it, which came back that the crank shaft position sensor need some attention. However, the next day when I started my car, the check engine light wasn't on, and it stayed off. That is until today, 2. 20. 2020. While driving down a highway, the check engine light came on again. I took it to the auto store, had them run a test, which came back as the crank shaft position sensor again. My car hasn't stopped on me yet, and I hope it doesn't, and I am looking to get this repaired. However, every one I have seen having the same issue, states it happens repeatedly. I really hope to have a recall on this, as it appears to be an issue with the vehicle itself and not something the consumers should have to keep paying for! we shouldn't have to drive in fear every time we get behind the wheel, especially when we have children riding in our vehicles! please fix this!.

Tl- the contact owns a 2016 Dodge Journey the contact owns a 2016 Dodge Journey. The contact stated while driving at approximately 60 mph the vehicle unexpectedly started shaking as if the motor was about to fall out while the check engine light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local shop to have his ignition coil replaced. Shortly after the failure reccured and the vehicle was taken to a body shop to have the number two compression replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of this issue however offered no assistance the approximate failure milage was 105,000 tp.

I was riding down a busy highway and doing 55mph my car started to stall and just cut off, I couldn't get over to the slow lane alot of traffic. It cutoff and I had to get out the car and wave other cars off so they wouldnt hit me. As I got to a safe area from help of another driver the check engine light was on. I cut the car off and called my husband and he said after 10 to try and start it back up and it did it crunk back up and I drove slowly home with hazard lights on and when I got home and cut the car off I let it sit for 10 minutes again and when I turned it back on the check engine light was off. This was scary for me and when I researched this problem it shows it's a recall for a crankshaft position sensor but my car is not in the recall and I cant understand why not this could have cause me and my family to have died because of this Dodge need to include all Dodge Journeys as I see alot of people are having this issue my mileage is 68000.

The radio will randomly turn stations and just completely go black. The a/c turns itself on and off. The airbag lights keep randomly coming up and then go away. This all happens rather I'm driving fast, slow, or stopped at a light and has happened since purchasing the car a year ago. I'm also having an issue with the check engine light coming on with it being the p0420. I only use mid grade gas and only from exxon or chevron. I also make sure the gas cap is on tightly. The check engine light will be on one day and not the next.

My vehicle has shut off without warning three times in the last month. All three times were at low speeds while pulling into a driveway. I then put it in park, pressed my ignition button to off, then pushed the ignition button with my foot on the brake and it started all three times on the first attempt. When it shut off, I lost power steering all three times, so thankfully I was at low speed. I do currently have code p0016 when I scan it with my reader. I had a local mechanic change 1 of my camshaft position sensors because that is what autozone recommended. That didn't solve anything. Then I made an appointment at Dodge of bloomington, mn to have a lugnut repaired and my check engine light further diagnosed. They replaced the lugnut but told me they didn't have time left in the day to look at light, and said no rental vehicles were available, which is odd considering the 500 vehicles in their lot. So I made an appointment at coon rapids Chrysler and they dug around for three hours, told me they couldn't find anything but charged me $500. Again no rentals here either. How far do we dig, I have 297,000 miles but other than this recent issue, vehicle has been good. Happy to include anything extra you would like. I did have coon rapids Chrysler replace a camshaft in spring of 2019 when engine was ticking. That solved the ticking. I did notice my tick is back to about 75% of the sound it was in the spring after my November 29th attempted diagnosis at coon rapids. Typing on my phone, so I apologize for a few missed capitalizations. First shutoff was November 15th, recent one was December 15th and then one in between.

Vehicle simply turned off on its own while I was driving. I had just began accelerating from a stop light and in the midst of a turn when the vehicle failed. After stopping then the check engine light illuminated. I was stuck at a large intersection for a few minutes as trying to turn the vehicle back on resulted in it just kind of jerking/stuttering initially. Eventually I was able to turn it back on and drive a bit down the road when it turned off again but at least I made it to a business' parking lot. I had the vehicle towed to a repair shop and they could not find an issue. No error codes and would not cut off on them as it did me. I still had them replace the crankshaft sensor as the technician said that is usually the issue when a car cuts off during driving.

While turning the vehicle the car completely stops having power. Car stalls out but still shows vehicle is running, air still works etc. No warning lights on the dash at all. . After turning the vehicle off and putting the vehicle back in park vehicle starts right back up. Still no warnings or a check engine light. No other mechanical issues with vehicle.

Battery light came on diagnostic test was performed I was told to change the alternator which I did. An hour later the light came on again then I was told to replace the battery which I did. After an hour drive the light came on again I was told the battery sensor needed to be replaced. The next day the car died completely I had to get towed. I was told to get an alternator from mopar which I did. New battery another new alternator a new sensor now the check engine light is on.

We purchased this vehicle used, back in February. Over the last several months the vehicle had sporadically shut off while driving. The engine completely stops while moving. Some times it takes multiple attempts to turn it back on after shutting down and other times it will turn back on. We have already had the car looked at and had some recall work done to it, but this keeps happening even so. It happened again today while going 40 mph, 2 seconds before the car stalled the check engine light came on and then the car stopped while driving. Thankfully the person behind me was not following too close because they almost hit me when the car stopped moving. I was driving on a city street with moderate traffic around me, so I am lucky that no one hit me when the car came to a complete stop. I was able to put the car in park and put my hazards on, while waiting to restart the car. This isn't the first time this has happened and I am sure this won't be the last.

My cruise control quit working and the traction control light came on and it wouldn't turn off. The doors started locking and unlocking by themselves. I went to church and stopped at food city afterwards. I started the vehicle and put it in reverse and I can smell something weird and it was like the brake was stuck and it was holding back. I proceeded because I was in traffic and needed to move. Acceleration was limited but I made it home which was less than a mile. When stopped there was smoke rolling out from under the front passenger side area and there was fluids running all over the ground. This was a very dangerous situation because I had my children in the car. There is a scrubbing and pecking noise but it sounds like it's coming from the rear end. I have had nothing but problems with this vehicle. Check engine light is on but it's been on. I've had it checked and shows nothing wrong and had it turned off and it continues to come on. Alternator has been replaced as well as new battery. It seems to have electrical issues with the doors locking and unlocking. So dangerous! affects steering and control of vehicle and could cause a fire and not be able to get out of the vehicle. After seeing all of the reviews and problems with these vehicles they all need to be recalled because none of them are safe because it's obvious that the dealerships don't even know how to fix them. If they attempt one issue there are even more issues that occur. The repairs are costly and this is happening way too often with too many Journeys. Then we are stuck with a lemon to pay for and no vehicle because of these costly repairs along with the dangers imposed. Please recall these dangerous and repair costly vehicles! they don't need to be on the roads. Problems started not long after purchase but they have escalated and have gotten more serious, dangerous, and costly.

I went into my church for about 2 hours and came back out and started the car to let it cool down for my kids. As it sat idling all of a sudden my check engine light is on, my etc light is flashing, and my esc off light is on. Shut it off and turned it back on and the engine light was on. Started driving and the etc light started flashing and esc off light came on. My car slowed down from 60mph on the highway and I couldn't speed back up. I had to pull over and turn car off and back on 3 times to make it back home. To make it home I had to put cruise control on and hope I didn't get behind someone going slower than me because all the lights would come back on.

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.

Like others on this site, I experienced a check engine light indicating a misfire on cylinder 3. I had the vehicle repaired under warranty at champion Dodge in indianapolis, in. The shop stated they replaced the entire cylinder head due to a leaking valve. Upon retrieving the repaired vehicle, the same issue immediately arose. I took the vehicle back to the shop and the shop is now surmising they received a defective part. I find it hard to believe the same issue occurred twice within a day due to a defective replacement part. Either the shop did not replace the part, or Chrysler has a serious problem with their cylinder heads. This issue appears to be common, was recognized by Chrysler on the 2011-2013 models, but is now an issue with my 2014 model. I have contacted a customer care representative at Chrysler who made one attempt to call and is never available.

The horn blows by itself, while driving and while sitting in the garage unoccupied. It has shut off while driving in heavy traffic and I had to put it in neutral to restart it. The aur bag light has come on and apparently in the words of my mechanic "I can't find anything wrong with it". The air and heat stopped working in the back of the vehicle last year. The check engine light goes on and off. I've had it towed to the shop twice because it would not start, just to be told it cranked right up once at the shop and again "I can't find anything wrong with it". It doesn't accelerate like it's supposed to when taking off, jerks and lags, and once accelerated it continues to jerk and lag.

After pcm and ecm recall repair, bluetooth system would not connect, check engine light on, touch screen radio malfunctioning while driving, eco color driveing tracker nolonger worked, the electronic gas miles was incorrect (exp: after puting gas in miles showed 115 until empty, drive 7 miles the car would show 70 miles to empty) both would malfunction while driving highway and city. Vehicle would now shake when idling and was hesitate to start. Vehicle has been at dealership repair shop for 7 days for second repair.

While the vehicle is in motion on the highway the check engine light and traction control light appear. When this happens, the vehicle loses all power and brakes. At this point I am unable to accelerate to move to a safe area where the car needs to be turned off and restarted. Once the vehicle is turned off and back on the check engine light stays lit and the traction control light will turn off momentarily. Upon driving the vehicle again, the traction control light will turn back on and the previous steps need to be repeated.

The engine turns off during operation with no warning. Steering wheel locks up and brakes are hard to apply. No check engine light to warn of a problem with the vehicle. Problem is random and is happening during vehicle operation and may cause accident if on the highway.

My car has 64,000 miles on it and the abs light, traction light, brake light and check engine light came. I have an appointment on Friday to get it diagnosed. At 32,000 miles the check engine light came on upon starting and my car would not go over 30 miles per hour. A fuel injector sensor went out.

Tl- the contact owns a 2016 Dodge Journey. The contact stated that while driving at 65 mph, the vehicle shut off without warning. The contact was forced to turn on her emergency lights and depressed the brake pedal in order to stop it, the check engine warning light illuminated as the vehicle was restarted. The contact drove the vehicle to a dealer(freedom Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram by ed morse 815 e camp wisdom rd, duncanville, TX 75116 972-427-4019 ) where she was informed that the crank shaft and the other wiring need to be replaced; the vehicle was repaired. A year later, while was driving at 55 mph, the vehicle shut off again without warning. The contact then turned on her emergency lights and depressed the brake pedal; the failure continued to occur as the contact restarted the vehicle and continued to drive. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and was given a case number. The contact was informed to take the vehicle back to the dealer. Upon taking the vehicle back to the same dealer, the contact had two other unrelated recall on the vehicle and was also informed that the failure was again due to the crank shaft. This time, the remedy would not be covered under warranty and was given an estimate for the repairs. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was 32,000. Jo.

While driving my vehicle, it shuts down on me, steering wheel locks and it stops accelerating. It is very dangerous, as it just stops on me. It has left me in the middle of the city street, and its been a few times now. The check engine light is on, although, in two occasions, when the car started back up, the check engine light goes away. It's nerve wrecking and scary to know that it will shut down on me just like that, while in motion. I drive on the highway, I just hope, next time, it doesn't shut down on me in the highway. I have made a service car to the car dealership where I purchased it and will be taking it in to get seen in a couple of days.

During use of the vehicle, whether stationary or in motion, the "gas cap light" will come on followed by "check engine light". When this happens the code p0456 will cause the car to act indifferent, it is still drivable, but can cause other components to show a false reading. This issue has happened 4 times in the past 2 months, and every time we go to the dealership the check engine light will disappear. We have checked the gas cap, and this vehicle is under 17,000 miles. This seems to be a common issue with Dodge, Jeep, and Chrysler vehicles, and this should be handled by the manufacturer. Treat this known issue as a recall, and improve upon your evaporative emission system.

I had a check engine light turn on- within seconds my engine shut off and I lost all power steering and brake control. I had to let the car roll to a stop. I put the car into park and restarted it. I was able to drive about 100 ft and it turned off again. Towed to dealership and code that came up was for the throttle body to be replaced ($716 usd). I had it fixed but car still was not driving the same as before the replacement. 10 days later the same thing happened in my subdivision. The engine turned off and I lost steering and brakes. Check engine light came on again. This time the car would not turn over. It would try to -you could hear the engine trying to start. Towed it back to the dealership and now it is the crank sensor?(another $147usd). Each time this happened I was in the car with my kids and had to let the car just roll to a stop. The first occurance was on 11/28/17 and the second was on 12/14/17.
