2018 Dodge Journey Engine Problems

“I was driving on the freeway and noticed that it was struggling for power. I exited. At the stoplight my car started shaking and puttering. `when I pressed the gas to go the car puttered like it didn't want to go, but then did. So I drove to the car dealership on the next exit. My car shut itself off in the entrance to the dealership. The mechanic reported that a fuel injector had exploded and was spewing raw gas. My car is now in the shop awaiting parts. Another issue is that it easily slips int reverse while driving. Serious safety concerns!”

With the car stopped I could see there were no warning lights on and the it was still in drive . After my nerves calmed I was able to start the car and drive on. This was a rental car that I had driven for 1,700 miles during the past 10 days with out a problem. However an hour before I had been on a major interstate highway in a driving rainstorm. …”

“***Radio system not working properly no longer connecting properly to phone, sounds muffled to the receiver on the other end of call, audio connect is not allowing me to be heard and I got a brand new updated phone!
