Head on collision at a traffic light. I was making a left turn it was raining and the other car was going straight. He took the light on red and we both hit head on. I hit my head on the steering wheel and side window. Air bag did not deploy hit my head pretty bad and my back and neck were in pain had to take off work and lost my only car and job. Went to therapy for a while my concern was why didn't the air bags deploy. The other cars air bags deployed. I had an eye witness and police report but I still loss the battle. Still paying for a car that doesn't work. Pls if U can help me resolve this it will be a big help. I still fill pain in my neck from the accident. I don't want to take legal actions I just want what is right. Thank you
In the past 3 years, we have had to fix different cylinder misfires in the same engine. The first was done in 2017, the second July 2020, and we had the third misfire error code November 2020. This has been communicated to Dodge, but not sure if a recall should be made for this, or if other have experienced the same. The most recent incident happened while driving. The engine began to stutter, thankfully I was able to make it home where as soon as I drove into the driveway it shut down.
My 2015 Dodge Journey fwd started making a whining noise out of nowhere and then all of a sudden would not go over 35 mph. I tried to move in my driveway and its stuck in 1st gear. I am too scared to drive it and it is my only means of transportation. Is there a recall on it?
While driving I heard a strange engine noise while accelerating, then the crankshaft, the serpentine belt came off, the steering wheel came rigid or stiff before the battery warning sign goes on with a big oil leak, the car then stopped.

While driving on the express way I changed lanes and suddenly the car jerked and started going faster, the check engine light started beeping, I put my foot on the brake but the car did'nt slow down fast enough, soon as I looked up I crashed on my driver side, no air bags came out...I drove the car hm, the sensor started beeping low key battery..I changed out the key battery and two days later the car start saying no key detected, I then called a locksmith, they had me buy a new key fob to reprogram..it didn't work, there is something very much electrical going on with this vehicle.
I own a 2015 Dodge Journey 63000 miles. When the vehicle was in motion on a major street traveling 49mph the car jerked, deaccelerated abruptly and the steering wheel became tight. It did not slow down it deaccelerated. There was no warning or code on prior to this happening. I was lucky there was not anyone behind me nor on a highway. Took it to the dealer and they said it was "failed crank position sensor." It had a code of P0339. We paid dealer to fix it - obviously. I noticed there is a recall for crankshaft position sensor on 2016 Dodge Journey - I beg that you recall cankshaft position sensor for Dodge Journey 2015.
My wife's car has stalled several times while running in traffic at 55 mph and above. She easily could have been involved in a collision. Car has been to dealer 4 times for repair, but still has same problem. Car has under 60K miles.
P0339 crank shaft position sensor intermitted my engine completely lost power. This is very dangerous. This is a recall on this crank shaft on 2012-2016 models for Dodge Journey. I was driving on a residential street going 35 mph and my car stalled and the engine lost complete power.

Driving down the interstate my Journey just 'shut down.' Once getting it to a shop they informed me that the engine was probably the cause. The vehicle is at 119,323 miles and dropped a cylinder resulting in having to replace the entire engine.
My vehicle has about 124,000 miles on it. Out of the blue one day it started sputtering. I figured it needed a tune up so I took it in and they told me I needed to take it to the dealer. It has to do with the sixth cylinder misfiring. I took it in March and they have had the car ever since. They have no parts to fix it and told me that it is a common problem with that vehicle after 100,000 miles. They have contacted Chrysler to make the parts for it.
Stopped at red light and when I step on the gas peddle check engine light came on and the car stalled, the dashboard, radio and A/C were still on. Attempted to turn on car and it shake to try to turn off but wouldn't. took it to carmax and car would not recognized car key to turn on. Carmax thought it was the battery and it wasn't that. They said it was the fuel pump, had it replaced but car would start and it turn off less then 5min. Carmax suggested taking to Dodge dealership for engine tare down to find out what is wrong with it. Estimate of cost to repair is $3200-5300. Car is at 77K-78K miles on it. From what I read this is where the car starts to stall upon reaching amount of miles on it.
When I look at the message boards for this Dodge make of car there are endless mentions of this problem and something needs to be done about people endlessly spending money to fix a problem that Dodge knows is causing these problems. Just bought my son this car and 3 days later the car will not start in the morning. Setting in the driveway at home. Was able to jump the vehicle to get it started only it to not start again when returning from work 6 hours later parked in a parking garage. Drove out there had to jump vehicle again. Bought new battery and replaced car did the same thing 8 hours later, used battery checked good as well as the alternator. Got online and found all of these suggestions to override a safety feature in the car that seemed to work for a lot of people but did not work for us. Please look at all the online complaints for this situation and make Dodge fix this problem, I travel extensively and my wife is sick with cancer and I'm not there nor is she able to help with getting this fixed every 8 hours to 3 days depending on how long it lasts.

.smoking vehicle power switch goes off and on locking vehicle while I am driving or has in the past gone off and on locking my children in the vehicles
I went to turn on my car and it was completely dead, and the key would not open the car. Someone came to help and checked the battery which was fully working perfectly, but the car was completely dead still, no power running anywhere. I went to google the problem and like me there hundreds of people who have gone through the same problem. It seems that the car goes into locked-down mode by itself unless you disconnect the battery and the computer reboots there's nothing that will make it work. Locally this happened in my building's parking lot, I did unhook the battery which rebooted the computer and the car turned on.
