When taken in to the dealer I was informed tht there was a problem with the abs module. It was coroaded and shorting out the sysyem which also controls the speed sensors and traction control system. On Tuesday may 7th I started the car and the speedometer did not register and the automatic door locks did not engage the brakes also hopped when I tried to slow down or stop.

On 6/4/2018 I picked up my vehicle from the service department at my local dealership after taking it in for the abs and traction control lights being on and loss of power. The dealership advised they did an update on the power control model and fixed a wheel speed sensor. While on the freeway about 9 miles away from the dealership the lights (abs and traction control) came back on and the rpms went up. The vehicle was in cruise control and the vehicle had a 5mph loss in speed but went back up to 65mph with the raise in rpms. While going to exit the freeway and applying the brakes the cruise control would not disengage. I immediately placed the vehicle in neutral and turned the engine off and pulled to the right hand shoulde allowing the vehicle to coast to a stop. . After pulled over I applied the brake and placed the vehicle in park and turned the vehicle back on. The abs and traction control lights remained illuminated. I called the dealership and was advised to bring the vehicle back and I advised I would bring it back in the morning and would not use the cruise control. This is now the second time the vehicle will be going to the dealership for the same issues which include the abs and traction control lights being illuminated with the traction control and abs not working, loss of power and high rpms and bluetooth not working (not a major concern). This is the first time the cruise control has failed to disengage and only my fourth time using cruise control as it is a new vehicle and I don't use it much on the freeway.

I own a 2013 Dodge Journey. On October 5th many electrical issues began and continue even after the recalls here addressed. Abs light came on, traction control disabled, cruise control function quit working dash displays/touchscreen began to flicker, bluetooth/uconnect/voice systems became non-responsive, ambient lighting on the passenger side flickers on and off, and the climate control system turned on after being set to the off position. The vehicle cabin is being contaminated by fumes and by the fiberglass soundproofing that is somehow entering the cabin. Dealership claims the recalls were addressed abut the abs and traction control issues are due to a speed control sensor, wants to charge me the $227 for this sensor, the voice system is due to another module (still awaiting pricing), can't figure out why the various other electrical issues are occurring, nor how the fiberglass and fumes are getting in and that none of this is covered by the recalls nor by my manufacturer powertrain warranty, and he knows many people that haven't wrecked driving without the traction control and abs systems so we can pick it up and drive it until we are ready to order the parts and pay for the repair. Fiberglass contamination is a pretty serious issue that causes cancer and various other health issues, the traction control, dashboard display, and antilock breaking systems are a serious safety concern and the recall stated loss of control could result in a crash and the vehicle should be fixed immediately.
