My 16-year-old son was driving our 2015 Dodge Journey to school. He began to hear a noise that sounded as if something was dragging underneath the vehicle. The driver behind him was flashing him to pull over, he began having issues controlling the vehicle fortunately he was able to pull over and as soon as he got to the stop sign the car completely died after making a loud noise and started smoking. My son jumped out of the vehicle and the driver behind him told him to get away from the vehicle as he felt it was about to catch fire by the smell. Once the tow truck driver got there and try to start the vehicle to put it in neutral the car again filled up with a burning smell. He jumped out and had to call dispatch for safety reasons of transporting the vehicle. Once my vehicle arrived at lonestar auto plex in cleburne texas our service man dan was amazing. He kept us informed along the way asked questions and he was provided the service records. Come to find out the engine seized up. The engine, oil pump, starter, all had to be replaced. Chrysler requested the engine so their engineers could look at it. Although everything was covered under warranty, my concern is now that there are others out there driving in the same thing may happen to them if not worse .
