As I was driving through a grocery parking lot, I remember taking my foot off of the accelerator to slow down and to make a right turn up an isle to go to a parking spot. Once my foot came off of the accelerator, my car died, no brakes, and no steering. The electrical continued to work as my music was still playing and the flashers worked as well. I put the car in park, and pushed the start button, nothing happened. I tried a couple more times and then my car started back up. I drove to a parking spot, shut the car off and turned it back on. I drove back home with no issues and put her in the garage. I'm very nervous, to say the least as I have to drive to work tomorrow. I hope this does not occurs as I'm driving 55 mph.

2 lights came on on the dash. It was determined to be the anti lock brake sensor so I had it replaced. Less than 30 days later, it came on again. It was determined to be the same thing but they wouldn't cover fixing it because they didnt know if it was the same one they had already replaced ir another of the sensors. Apparently this is something that happens on all Dodge Journeys and for some reason, a recall hasnt been issued.

The contact owns a 2015 Dodge Journey. While driving approximately 25 mph on wet pavement, all the warning indicators on the instrument panel illuminated and the brakes locked. The contact pulled over to the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who determined that the anti-lock brake system module and hydraulic control assembly were damaged and needed replacement. The vehicle was towed to dave dennis Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep (4232 colonel glenn hwy, dayton, oh 45431) where it was determined that water entered the anti-lock brake system and shorted the ABS module and hydraulic control assembly, which needed replacement. The contact also received a recall notification for NHTSA campaign number: 15V675000 (electronic stability control, service brakes, hydraulic). The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.

Precisely on 7.3.19 I had 4 of my children with me heading to a holiday parade. My car w/O warning completely stopped in the middle of a road. No power, no brakes, no steering. Air was still blowing; radio still playing. My daughter and I pushed my car to the curb, my husband came and pushed my car further to avoid an accident. After several attempts the car restarted and restarted fine. Drove another.5 city block; stopped at a stop sign, pulled out and my car died again in the middle of the intersection. My husband was still behind me & pushed us out. We drove home. He looked under the hood, nothing stood out. I didn't get any warnings on the dash. The car has driven fine until 7.5.19. My daughter and I just turned onto calumet ave; a very busy and dangerous road and my car died again. Several cars flying around us laying on their horn. I do not have power to turn, to brake. My daughter and I got out and push my car into a parking lot that has a slight uphill entrance. It was not easy, it was dark outside. A very dangerous situation. I can only flip my hazard lights on, well what does that do when a car is flying up behind me at 40-50mph? I am terrified my car is going to die and my family and I are going to get seriously hurt and/or killed. Reading on the internet there seems to be many people with the same issue and Dodge is not responding. I have children who require trips to indianapolis for medical issues and it is a 3-4 hour drive for us. Speed limit is 70. I cannot afford to trade this in and purchase a new car. I do not where else to go for help. If you call a mechanic or the dealership they tell you that can't help without looking at it. Dodge dealer denies ever hearing of it before which I don't believe. Neither of course will do a free inspection. I get it they're there to make money. Recall should be issued to fix this before it becomes deadly.

The antilock brake system (ABS) control module failed. There was a recall on the ABS control module for this vehicle model and production year. But Chrysler claims this particular ABS module is not related to the recall and that it is due to a short in the module. I share this information so you can investigate to determine if there is another issue with ABS modules. Anti lock brakes are a safety feature that help prevent accidents. If the control modules are failing on vehicles that are only 3 years old that seems like more than coincidence. Could there be a correlation between safety recall R61 issued in December 2015 and the failure of the ABS module in this vehicle?

The contact owns a 2015 Dodge Journey. While the vehicle was stationary, the ABS failed. While driving 55 mph during a rainstorm, the ABS and traction control warning indicators illuminated. When the contact depressed the brake pedal, there was a spring-like malfunction that occurred and the vehicle was difficult to stop. In addition, the vehicle came to an abrupt stop when the brakes were applied. Peacock Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram runswick (5400 altama avenue, brunswick, Georgia 31525, (912) 231-4453) was made aware of the failure and replaced the ABS sensor. The failure recurred. Upon the second occurrence of the failure, while the vehicle was stationary, the contact entered the vehicle and the ABS and traction control warning indicators illuminated upon starting the vehicle. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The failure mileage was 14,000.

When accelerating vehicle pulls more one way (right). When at steady speed vehicle holds direction but if getting on the freeway or accelerating after stopping, I have to strongly correct the vehicle's direction. Concerned there is a possibility of brakes not fully releasing after stopping and is only noticeable because of the speed (entering the freeway) or full stop was made.
