Tl* the contact owns a 2015 dodge journey. the contact stated that when the brake pedal was depressed, the wheels seized. the contact received a recall notification for nhtsa campaign number: 15v675000 (electronic stability control , service brakes, hydraulic ) however the part to do the repair was not available. the contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for recall repair. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 3,500. parts distribution disconnect.

In dec 2015 i received a recall notice and was informed that another notice would be sent when i was to contact the dealer. this is for the anti-lock brake system. the 2nd notice was received in jan16. i called the dealer on 1/4 and 1/21/16 and was told they did not have and did not know when they would have the part to make the repair. they said they would take my name and number and put me on the waiting list and call me when the part was in. it is 3/1/16 and i had not heard from landmark dodge where i purchased the vehicle from and had been in contact with. i called them to see if they had the part and guess what they said they just happen to get 5 in today! however they could not schedule the repair until 4/1/16. we are talking about the brake system here. 4 months to do a repair that the manufacturer knew was required for safety sake. i really feel the nhtsa should look into this. also this is the 2nd recall on this vehicle and i have not even owned it for a year yet. the first was the engine beauty cover which we had to wait for that part on also. we have been forced to drive with a faulty anti-lock brake system control module on this vehicle for at least 3 months. and that was just since we were notified. this is unreasonable and a safety issue that really should be addressed. and i don't think the dealer was even going to call me back as they said they would.thank you. *tr

While driving home my 2015 dodge journey (which only had 2,108 miles on it) died while decelerating to turn into my neighborhood. praise god, no one was behind me and i had to crank the wheel to pull over to the side of the road as the power steering and brakes also died. there were no warning signs, indicators, lights, etc. i put the car in park and hit the start button and it started right up. i immediately called the dealership and told them i would be bringing it to them in the morning. they have now had my car for 5 days and can't find any error codes in their computer when running diagnostics and "can't reproduce the stall". they are keeping it for a few more days to "put more miles on it to see if they can reproduce it" and also have a call into their corporate engineers and are waiting to hear back from them. i told the service manager at the dealership that this was a known issue with the t.i.p.m. (total integrated program module) on older models and in fact 2 were reported at http://www.carcomplaints.com/dodge/journey/2014/ for 2014 models. he claimed that this defect is on older models 'only' and wasn't the problem. although they are making some updates to the car's computer system without knowing if this will fix it, he said if they can't diagnose or reproduce the issue, they will return it to me and basically just hope it doesn't happen again. one website that reported this exact issue on older model dodges (various makes/models) is: http://www.chryslerproblems.com/problems/200-engine-dies-while-driving.shtml . the report shows my exact situation! engine dies when decelerating, no warning indicators, once key is turned to off, it restarts, diagnostics at the dealership showed no computer codes indicating failure. i'm terrified that it will happen again only perhaps in a much more dangerous setting.
