2017 Dodge Journey Engine Problems

“I was driving on briarcliff rd and my car cut off while it was on (run) it was in motion. Everything locked. The brakes, gas the steering wheel. I sat there I almost was hit. I kept trying to press the gas and brakes but it wouldn't push down. I could not believe it I was scared and panicked. I then cut the car off and it cut on I immediately started driving toward home.”

“I was driving with the cruise control on and the vehicle kept trying to speed itself back up and the car kept slowing down I noticed the car was on fire in the back of the car so I pulled over turned the car off jumped out walked to a safe distance called the police while on the phone with them the car catches fire and burned down.”

“While driving at aprox 25 MPH on a slight bend in the road and slightly accelerating, I realized my engine had died when it stopped accelerating. Electrical was still working, but the engine had shut off. I was able to coast to the side of the road, turn on my hazards, and put the vehicle in park. I waited about 20 seconds, then attempted to turn the engine back on. The engine started with no trouble and with no further incidence.”

“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.”

“While I was driving on the freeway, a red battery image displayed on the menu center screen.next day had it checked, was told all was fine,everything check out..a week later was on freewayagain,headlights flicked, radio went dead(display &sound) twice, engine bogged down briefly. Car is in shop now..two days.and no accurate diagnosis..this is obviously a well-documented problem with this model of vehicle..has this caused death? Will it lead to death, yes, is there help for the consumers?? I'm aware of numerous electronical problems with these and other Dodge vehicles. …”
