2011 Dodge Journey Engine Problems

“I was driving my kids to school when the engine just shut off. The power steering did not work and then the car just started back up on its own. It has happened 3 times since then. I bought a new battery and had a new alternator installed but it did not fix the problem.”

“Recurring safety issue with no concrete resolution. While driving at 55mph on a parkway vehicle engine stalled. I could not accelerate and the brakes and steering wheel locked. Radio, power windows, etc. All worked and I couldn't shut off the vehicle via the push button start/stop. When I pressed it to try and turn it off it made a noise like it was trying to start but couldn't. While waiting for the tow truck all of the check engine lights started flashing. …”

“We purchased this vehicle used, back in february. Over the last several months the vehicle had sporadically shut off while driving. The engine completely stops while moving. Some times it takes multiple attempts to turn it back on after shutting down and other times it will turn back on. We have already had the car looked at and had some recall work done to it, but this keeps happening even so. It happened again today while going 40 MPH, 2 seconds before the car stalled the check engine light came on and then the car stopped while driving. …”

“It has been about a month since my 2011 Dodge Journey had begun to shut off without warning while I was driving, and with nyc traffic in the city it became dangerous for me to drive. I took it to my own mechanic who said it could only be resolved by the dealership since it may be an electrical issue with the car's computer that only the service shop at the dealership has the tools to fix. I am not driving faster than 30 MPH when it happens, I'm unable to brake and the car shuts off automatically. …”

“Both catalyst converts went out at the same time and failed my ga emissions test. There is a permanent code. I only had this SUV a year and have already rebuilt the transmission, along with caliber issues. I was told that my VIN didn't match the u67 catalyst emission recall that included my vehicle description, trim, make and model. The recall should have expanded to 3.6 liters as well, considering the problem is an exact match. I expect Dodge will rectify this emissions problem, considering that ga residents will find this SUV useless in such a strict emission state.”
