2016 DODGE JOURNEY Complaints

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HER 2016 DODGE JOURNEY ON A STREET WITH A 45 MPH SPEED LIMIT WHEN IT SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND DIED. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR PLUG . WE PICKED UP THE VEHICLE ON 4/19/19 AND IT DIED AGAIN ON 4/22/19. THIS TIME, THE CAR WAS STATIONARY, BUT HAD I BE TOWED AGAIN. THIS TIME, THEY REPLACED THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR. WE FOUND A RECALL ISSUED BY NHTSA - RECALL S89/NHTSA 16V-907 COVERING 2016 JOURNEYS FOR THE ENGINE BUILT FROM MAY 8,2016 TO JULY 12, 2016. THE BUILD DATE ON THE JOURNEY WE BOUGHT WAS 8/13/2015 AND IN SERVICE DATE OF 1/15/2016. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY DENIED ANY RECALL INITIALLY ( SAME AS THE DEALERSHIP ) BUT THEN SAID THE BUILD DATE WAS SET OUTSIDE OF THE TIME FRAME SET BY NHTSA. I HAVE THE ORIGINAL PART, REPLACED. IN MY POSSESSION. I FEEL THAT THIS PROBLEM MAY BE MORE WIDESPREAD AND MAY NOT BE REPORTED BY MORE PEOPLE BASED ON LACK OF ACKNOWLEDGMENT BY BOTH CHRYSLER AND THE DEALERSHIP AS THEY ARE WRITING IT OFF AS A PART THAT ' JUST BROKE '

"SOMETIMES" THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT TURN ON. I HEAR A TICKING NOISE FOR A FEW SECONDS.. IF I PUSH ON THE BREAKS I CAN HEAR A GRINDING NOISE. THE LIGHTS ALWAYS TURN OFF AFTER A MINUTE OR TWO AND THE GRINDING NOISE ONLY HAPPENS WHEN BOTH THE ABS AND TRACKING LIGHTS ARE ON.

THE REVERSE HAS QUIT WORKING AND THE RADIO GOES IN AND OUT AND CHANGES ON OWN AND TURNS VOLUME UP AND DOWN KEYS POP UP NOT DETECTED WHILE DRIVING

I HAD A FLAT TIRE AND I WENT TO CHANGE THE FLAT FOR THE SPARE BUT I FOUND OUT THAT THE LUG NUT WRENCH THAT DODGE SUPPLIED WITH MY DODGE JOURNEY CROSSROAD WAS THE WRONG SIZE. I HAD TO THEN DRIVE THE VEHICLE OFF THE MAIN ROAD TO SAFETY CAUSING MORE DAMAGE TO THE RIM.

ASB LIGHT STAYS ON AS WELL AS A DEPICTION OF VEHICLE SLIDING ON ROAD, BOTH IN MOTION AND IN PARK. MILAGE ON VEHICLE IS JUST 13K MILES

MY CRANKSHAFT IS GOING OUT WE GOT THE VEHICLE CHECKED DUE TO THE ENGINE LIGHT TURNING ON. WE NOTICED THERE WAS A RECALL THE CRANKSHAFT FOR THE 2016 DODGE JOURNEY

ABS SYSTEM LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF AT WILL AND THIS WOULD BE THE 2ND TIME IN ABOUT A YEAR LAST TIME THE ABS LIGHT HAS DONE THIS LAST TIME IT CAUSED THE BRAKES TO LOCK DOWN RESULTING IT AN NON-INJURY ACCIDENT ALSO IT WOULD NOT CLEAR AFTER REPAIRS AND COMPUTER RESET

POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER WENT OUT IN VEHICLE AND REPAIRED FOR THE SECOND TIME. I DONT TRUST THE VEHICLE. STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY, WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR. THIS WAS VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS. THIS VEHICLE HAD A RECALL THAT TRIGGERED ALOT OF ISSUES WITH THE TRUCK, TO BE QUIET HONEST WHEN IT GETS FIXED I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE.

'TAKATA RECALL' IN LESS THAN A YEAR THE ABS LIGHT HAVE COME ON. THE FIRST TIME IT EVER CAME ON WAS STOPPING FOR A RED LIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE KEPT GOING. SECOND TIME LESS THAN A YEAR LATER THE LIGHT HAS COME BACK ON AND YOU HAVE TO PRESS THE BRAKES THEN RELEASE AND AND PRESS THE BRAKES AGAIN FOR THE VEHICLE TO STOP ADEQUATELY.
