THE CAR WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET THE FIRST TIME THE ENGINE JUST TURNED OFF THEN WE WHERE ON THE HIGHWAY WITH BIG RIGS BEHIND AND ON SIDES WHEN ENGINE JUST SUDDENLY SHUT OFF IT WAS MY HUSBAND DRIVING THE FIRST TIME ANDWE HAD OUR KIDS IN THE BACK AND A FRIEND ALSO IT WAS A VERY FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE I TOLD MY HUBAND DONT PANIC PUSH THE STARTER BUTTON TO TURN OFF THE CAR BECAUSE U COULDN'T GIVE IT GAS BECAUSE ENGINE WAS OFF BUT CAR STILL ON IN GEAR THEN THANKFULLY THE FIRST TIME WE IT WAS NOT BUSY AT THE TIME WE MY HUSBAND PUSHED THE START BUTTON AND CAR WAS IN OFF MODE AND THEN WAITED A FEW MINUTES BEFORE TURNING CAR BACK ON BY PRESSING THE STARTER BUTTON AND THEN WE PROCEEDED TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY AND ABOUT TWO MILES DOWN YOU FEEL A PULL AND THE ENGINE TURNED OFF AGAIN AT SPEED FROM 75 TO QUICK DECREASE IN SPEED HE VEERED OFF TO THE SHOULDER WITH CARS AND BIG RIGS AROUND US TO THE SHOULDER AND PUSHED THE IGNITION BUTTON TO THE OFF POSITION AND WAITED A FEW MINS PRAYED AND THE CAR STARTED AFTER PUSHING THE IGNITION BUTTON TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY AS THAT WAS NIGHT AND IT TOOK A DAY FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO SAY THE CAR WAS FINE IT MIGHT BE..EXACT WORDS THE ENGINE CRANK SHAFT BUT IT WAS WORKING FINE FOR THE TECHS SO IT WAS AT MY CHOICE TO HAVE IT CHANGED OR NOT. IT SEEMED TO BE WORKING FINE. THE ENGINE LIGHT THAT HAD TURNED ON AFTER THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WAS OFF SO I DECIDED IT WAS JUST A GLITCH AND CAR WAS OK. HERE I AM 2 WEEKS LATER AND THE CAR KEEPS DOING THE SAME THIBG ON THE HIGHWAY AND STREET IT IS AWEFUL, I HAVE A ALL POWER TRAIN WARRANTEE AND THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THE ENGINE CRANKSHAFT IS NOT A PART COVERED BY WARRANTEE PLEASE HELP OTHERS NOT GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR EVEN DIE FROM A CRASH DUE TO THIS NOT TO DETECTABLE DEFECT.

CLOCK SPRING CAUSING ALL LIGHTS AND MENU BUTTONS TO NOT WORK ALONG WITH THE RAIDO CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL.

INSIDE MIDDLE DOME LIGHT STAYS ON ON SOME OCCASIONS TURNS ITSELF ON EVEN AFTER CAR IS LOCKED. ANOTHER ISSUE THAT JUST STARTED WHILE DRIVING THE CAR OR PREARRANGED MUCH JUST BEING ON IS THE REAR WIPER COMES ON BY ITSELF AND STAYS RUNNIN TILL IT WANTS TO STOP AND WHEN IT DOSE TURN ITSELF OFF THE WIPER BLADE STAYS IN THE MIDDLE POSITION INSTEAD OF GOING DOWN ALL THE WAY.

I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION PUMP HYDRAULIC PRESSURE FOR MY MODEL VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE DODGE JOURNEY FOR THE PUMP, BUT NOT FOR MY PARTICULAR MODEL. I AM CURRENTLY HAVING ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE LOSING HYDRAULIC PRESSURE IN THE TRANSMISSION. A DIAGNOSTIC CODE IS GIVEN ALSO. WHEN DRIVING, MY VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF.

VEHICLE WHILE DRIVE FINE FOR MANY MILES USUALLY AFTER DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY BUT WHEN I NEED TO MAKE A TURN IT BECOMES DIFFICULT FOR THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE AND WILL SUDDENLY JERK FORWARD OR POP. MY CAR WAS RECENTLY SERVICED DUE TO THE DRIVE SHAFT CRACKING IN AN ABNORMAL WAY ACCORDING TO MECHANICS WHICH COSTED $4200 I EXPECTED THE ISSUE TO BE SOLVED AFTER THE REPAIR BUT IT SEEMS TO HAVE GOTTEN WORSE THERE WAS A HUMMING SOUND NOW WHILE TURNING I'M AFRAID THE PROBLEM MAY BE MANUFACTURER RELATED SINCE IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN AFTER THE REPAIR

WITH LESS THAN 16000 MILES HAVE HAD BATTERY DRAIN DOWN ON 3 OCCASIONS, IN ONE OCCASION LESS THAN 16 HOURS PARKED IN A HEATED GARAGE. BATTERY DISCHARGED TO THE THE POINT ONCE IGNITION TO START IS PRESSED, LIGHTS FLICKER, CLICKING SOUND FORM ENGINE COMPARTMENT, WONT EVEN STOP THIS ACTION BY TURNING IGNITION OFF. CHECK OF BATTERY VOLTAGE WAS 5.6 VOLTS, BATTERY REPLACED ON FIRST OCCASION BY DEALER, BOTH OTHER TIMES, DEALER CHARGED BATTERY AND NO APPARENT CODES TRIPPED. UNABLE TO LOCATE PROBLEM. NO LIGHTS ETC WERE LEFT ON ON EITHER FAILURE, PARKED IN HEATED GARAGE, DRIVEN FOR OVER 30 MILES EACH TIME. SOMETHING IS PUTTING A SEVERE DRAIN ON THE BATTERY IS A SHORT TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO GLENBROOK DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP (100 W COLISEUM BLVD, FORT WAYNE, IN 46805) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CRANK SENSOR HARNESS PLUGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE CLEANED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V907000 (ENGINE). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

TAKATA RECALL FOR A 2016 DODGE JOURNEY. MY DODGE JOURNEY IS EXPERIENCING MULTIPLY ISSUES THAT MAY BE DEEMED AS ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THE FIRST ISSUE IS THE CRUISE CONTROL IS STILL MALFUNCTIONING FROM A PREVIOUS RECALL UNDER RECALL NUMBER 18U49182. WHETHER CRUISE CONTROL IS OFF OR ON THE VEHICLE STILL MAINTAINS IT'S SAME SPEED. THE SECOND ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE IS ALSO THE VEHICLE CONSTANTLY VEERS OFF THE ROAD. I ALMOST CRASHED ON THE EXPRESSWAY BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. THIS ISSUE POSE A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE THIRD ISSUE WITH THIS 2016 DODGE IS THE TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEMS SEEMS TO BE FAULTY. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A ISSUE WITH THIS FOR A MONTH NOW. WHEN I PUT AIR INTO THE TIRES ALL OF THE TIRES PRESSURE PSI ARE THE SAME THEN WITHIN FIVE MINUTES ALL THE TIRE PSI ARE DIFFERENT BY SUBSTANTIAL DIGITS. ONE TIRE COULD BE 39 WHEN YOU BEGIN AND FIVE MINUTES LATER IT COULD DISPLAY 34 PSI. THE VEHICLE IS ALWAYS IMBALANCED CAUSING IT TO ROCK.

BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY IN REVERSE AND THE TRANSFER CASE TWISTED OUT OF THE VEHICLE, SNAPPING HARDWARE AND BREAKING OFF ALUMINUM CASING ALSO FOUND LOSE HARDWARE. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 65,000 MILES ON IT. THIS OCCURRED ON LEVEL GRADE THERE WAS NO INCLINES

THE DOOR LOCKS CONTINUE TO LOCK EVEN IF THE KEY FOB IS IN THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENS ESPECIALLY IN THE MORNINGS WHEN IT IS COLD. *BF*JB
