2010 Dodge Journey

I was driving down the road and all of a sudden the driver airbag light came on, it would then shut off and then ding and turn back on, it did this for several miles before it just stayed on. another incident that has happened several times is that all the dash indicator lights come on while i'm driving, it puts my car in limp mode, i then have to pull over, shut the car off and then restart it for it to be ok again. this is a real safety concern as well, i could crash and get in a serious accident and i typically have my young kids with me. i searched my vin to see if the recalls have been done and from what i can see they have, so i don't know if this is a reoccurring electrical issue or if this is something new.

2013 Dodge Journey

My dodge journey's engine shut off twice while i was driving with no warning. no loss of lights or radio, but the engine just shuts off and car cannot be restarted. the first time i was driving on a highway, and right after accelerating from a stop at a red light the car died. had to have it towed, and had an auto part store do some basic tests and was told it was just a bad battery, however when it happened again the day after replacing the battery. this time i was on a city street having just exited off of the interstate. i was in traffic and again the car just lost power due to the engine shutting down. again it would not start and could not be jump started so had it towed to the dealer. dealer was able to get a code p061c, and followed instructions to update the pcm. from what i understand, a software update was applied to the power control module. i am very concerned with the fact that my car can just shut down the engine with no warning at all. very dangerous.

2012 Dodge Journey

I have been reading about my issue all too often online and have yet to see any resolution at all. i have a 2012 dodge journey and honestly it is scary driving it! the car actually shuts off in the middle of the road without warning. the issue it keeps showing is a crank sensor code. the sensor has been replaced 3 times now! it is also not an easy job since on an all wheel drive model, there are many hours involved to replace it. but if you're on the highway and driving normally the car will die at any moments notice and give no warning. seems like there are many many others having the same issue. if you do a quick search and type dodge journey dies while driving you will easily find many people with same issue. many people spending their hard earned money on repairs that get them nowhere! this really is sad and dodge has done nothing to help except continue to put peoples lives at risk and taking their money for repairs! please help! i have been having ...

The airbag light continues to come on while driving or once the car is started. it will stay on for a few days and then go off. when it comes on while the car is driving it will ding and stay on for days. the air conditioner/ heater jumps on and off while driving. it will be off and automatically jump on. i will turn it off and then it will jump on again. these issues were "fixed" by a dodge dealership in may and are still reoccurring.

2014 Dodge Journey

My 2014 dodge journey was parked in my garage, i tried to start up the car and it did not want to turn on. on the dash the following appeared and flashed several times before turning off: a red lightning bolt and airbag. the transmission light also flashed in yellow however it did stay on. i tried again several times. it kept giving me the message to service park assist. . i read some forums online as more people have experienced this issue with their dodge journey?s (ranging from 2009-2016 models) two gentlemen stated if you place the car in neutral and then start the vehicle it would crank up however my car did not. the brake pedal seems stuck and extremely hard to press down as well but that?s usually like that for me on any given day to start my car. i attempted to start up the vehicle again and the dash then stated it did not detect the key but the key was inside the car with me, again all lights turning on, flashing and then turning off. i am aware there are some previous and more recent recalls with this vehicle. also when i open ...
