Shortly after the rest of my systems started to go along with it now it's been about 6 months and I have a vehicle that can no longer move or so anything. Once my catalytic converter went out it started clogging the rest of my system. …”
NHTSA complaint #11255683, filed 2019-09, 60,000 miles“Our 2014 Dodge Journey's engine is consuming oil with no warning. With no warning light/alarm or puddles of oil on the ground, I had to add over 3 quarts of oil to the engine. Due to this, the engine has failed beyond repair. This was presented in the manner of harsh clanking and banging within the engine while driving down the freeway. After having it towed to a local shop, it was found that metal shards were contained within the oil filter. The vehicle now doesn't run correctly even when not in motion.”
NHTSA complaint #11267067, filed 2019-10, 138,000 miles“The car stalled on me twice nearly getting into a wreck. Took it to the dealership where I bought it from they put it on the computer. They said that they could not find anything wrong. Then about 21/2 weeks later it did it again. I have a print out of the computer analysis.”
