SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
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.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
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.

ENGINE
ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASH AND I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THAT THE CAR WAS HESITATING AND FELT AS IT WAS LOSING POWER WHILE ACCELERATING. I THEN TOOK IT INTO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND WAS INFORMED THAT MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND WAS OVER $800 IN REPAIRS. WHILE RESEARCHING ONLINE, I CAME ACROSS A RECALL FOR THE SAME EXACT ISSUE ON THE 2011-2016 SERIES OF THE DODGE JOURNEYS. I FEEL AS IF THE 2017 SERIES SHOULD BE INCLUDED AS WELL.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
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?

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ON JULY 17TH 2019. I WAS GAINING SPEED ON AN ENTRANCE RAMP TO HIGHWAY 95N IN STAFFORD, VA. AS I APPROACHED 60 MPH THE SUV'S STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP ON ME AND I COULDN'T TURN THE WHEEL. I TRIED THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKES WOULDN'T WORK THEY WERE HARD AND WOULD NOT PUSH DOWN. I LET IT SLOW ITSELF DOWN AND MADE IT TO THE SIDE OF 95N. I THEN PUT THE SUV IN PARK WITH HAZARDS ON. I EXITED THE SUV TO CHECK FOR ANY DAMAGE AND OR INDICATIONS OF WHAT CAUSED THE SVU TO LOCK UP WHILE DRIVING. THERE WAS NO SIGN OF ANYTHING THAT I COULD SEE. I RETURNED TO THE DRIVER'S SEAT RESTARTED THE SUV. AFTER NOTICING THAT THE RADIO WAS ON BUT NOT SURE IF THE TRUCK WAS ON. SO I RESTARTED IT TO BE SURE THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING. I DROVE IT HOME, 10 MINUTES DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 50 MPH AND CALLED THE LUSTINE DEALERSHIP AND HAD IT TOWED TO THEM. I CAN SAY THAT THE WEATHER WAS 98 DEGREES REAL FEEL AT 110. THIS WAS AROUND 2 IN THE AFTERNOON. THE LUSTINE DEALERSHIP HAD MY SUV FROM THEN UNTIL JULY 22ND. THEY PUT OVER 100 MILES ON MY SUV AND SAID THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. THEY TOLD ME TO JUST WAIT AND SEE IF IT DOES IT AGAIN. AFTER HAVING THE PROBLEM AND GIVING THEM THE SUV I LOOKED ON HERE AND SAW A SUV WITH THE SAME EXACT EXPERIENCE. I TOLD THE LUSTINE DEALERSHIP AND GAVE THEM AN EMAIL WITH THIS INFORMATION AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER TO CONTACT THE OTHER DEALERSHIP LISTED IN THE COMPLAINT ON HERE. WHICH DID FIND OUT THE CAUSE. LUSTINE HAD MY SUV WHEN I GAVE THEM THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE OTHER SUV. ALSO MY SUV HAD ABOUT 26485 WHEN IS HAPPENED. THE LUSTINE DEALERSHIP DIDN'T EVEN PUT ON MY PAPER WORK THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM OR WHERE IN TOOK PLACE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
MY AIR KEEPS COMING BACK ON , NOT MATTER HOW MANY TIMES THAT I TURN IT OFF. IT COMES BACK ON BY ITSELF. THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND JERKS ON THE BACK ROADS, HIGHWAY AND INTERSTATE. MY HUSBAND HAS CALLED JIM COGDILL DODGE AND KEEPS GETTING THE RUN AROUND ABOUT THE SITUATIONS. THE AIR IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WHICH CAN CAUSE A FIRE IF LEFT LIKE IT IS. I WAS TOLD BY THE SALESMAN THAT HE WOULD GET BACK TO ME IN A COUPLE OF DAYS. THAT IS NOT PROFESSIONAL AND IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR EVERYONE IN MY VEHICLE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAD MY JOURNEY PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY, GRABBED MY PURSE AND MY DAUGHTER AND, HEADED OUT TO RUN ERRANDS. I DROVE TO MY DESTINATION, TURNED OFF THE CAR AND WENT TO LOCK IT FROM THE OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE. THERE WERE NO BEEPS AND THE DOORS WOULDN'T LOCK. I CHECKED MY PURSE AND THE ENTIRE INSIDE OF THE CAR, NO KEY FOBS WERE FOUND. I GOT IN THE CAR AND IT STARTED UP AGAIN. AFRAID TO LEAVE THE CAR IN THE PARKING LOT, I CALLED MY HUSBAND WHO CONFIRMED THAT BOTH MY SET OF CAR KEYS AND HIS SET OF CAR KEYS WERE AT HOME ON THE KEY HOOK. I'M EXTREMELY PUZZLED AS TO HOW MY CAR STARTED WITHOUT THE KEY FOB, LET ME DRIVE IT WITHOUT WARNING ME THERE WAS NO KEY FOB IN THE CAR, AND THEN LET ME RESTART IT SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT THE KEY FOB. WE JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR USED A MONTH AGO, AND THE SALES PERSON GAVE US BOTH KEY FOBS. I TORE THE CAR APART, GLOVE BOX, CENTER CONSOLE UNDER SEATS, EVERYWHERE AND NO OTHER KEY FOB HAS BEEN FOUND. MY HUSBAND BROUGHT ME MY CAR KEYS AND I STOOD 20 FEET AWAY AND THE CAR STILL STARTED WITHOUT THE FOB IN THE CAR.
