While driving from san diego to dallas with cruise engaged it suddenly started to accelerate and became eratic speeding up and slowing down. engine rpm fluctuated at same time. braking did not fully disengage the system. when braked transmission would not shift and had to turn system off to halt its operation. works fine at times then unexpectedly does it again. may be connected to operation in elevation changes.
The stick shift that controls the vehicle for park, drive, neutral, reverse and manual modes is in the center of the vehicle, very much in the way of normal driving routines. 3 times now, since april, the shifter has accidentally been touched or bumped by the driver. twice this happened and my car was placed into neutral in the middle of driving. once my car was placed into reverse while driving! the placement of the shifter and the ease at which it shifts is potentially a fatal hazard.
James town outside center tx on hwy 7 going 60-65 just had my car serviced 6/3/19 transmission runs light comes on runs hot car starts jerking and decrease then increase in speed traction control is also on i stop at the first store i see turn off the car wouldn't crank for two days 6/5/19 at 11:45-50 it starts i struggle to get it to joaquin texas where i live it jerked, increased and decreased in speed, the brake pedal was hard when cranking and touchy while driving also the transmission light and traction control was on
The vehicles manual and digital speedometer will occasionally stop being in sync with each other making acceleration minimal...my vehicle only has 14k miles on it
When i went to dealership i knew i want a truck with 3rd row, i test drove the journey i picked out of what was offered when i test drove the first truck, it refused to shift from 1st to 2nd gear so we went back and drove the one i purchased. well i got it home and drove for a few days and noticed when i would take it out of park it would ,ake a loud thump noise only sometimes like i am sitting on a hill. i took it back they heard the noise said they could fix it but service said that was normal, which i strongly disagreed but my deal was funded and nothing they would do. so another month or so later i notice my gas to empty was jumping drastically i figured bad gas so i drove it out and tried again and again. finally had it because going from 60 to 30 in 2 miles is major that same week i used my cruise control for maybe the 3rd time since i had the vehicle and it would not keep a steady speed i went up 5 mph faster than i set it and then dropped it did this until i cancelled the cruise. i immediately made an appointment with the dealer they have had it a week and no word from them yet. meanwhile i have researched and see the same issues i am having lead to more issues like the brakes not stopping the vehicle and i travel 100 miles back and forth to work and have small children that is a very uneasy feeling. the other issues like the radio freezing inbetween changing from blue-tooth to radio so i have to drive that entire hour trip to work without any music unless i stop and restart the car. also when i get off the highway a lot of times the sensor for the speed and radio finally kicks in and the radio plays extremely loud like i am still on the highway and the entire ride the radio would not turn up pass the low volume.
While driving on the highway in my brand new dodge journey that was purchased less than 2 weeks ago, all the vehicles came to a stop and were stationary. my car included was stationary or stopped. while waiting for traffic to go, my foot was on the brake when my car suddenly accelerated (was in motion) and started to move forward. my foot was still on the brake when this occurred. i continued to push down the brake as hard as i could and pump the brake to make the car stop but it felt like the brake pedal would not go down. my brakes did not work and the vehicle in front on me ended up stopping my car. i pulled over to the left shoulder of the highway as much as i could and put my car in park and called highway patrol. *dt*jb
On 6/4/2018 i picked up my vehicle from the service department at my local dealership after taking it in for the abs and traction control lights being on and loss of power. the dealership advised they did an update on the power control model and fixed a wheel speed sensor. while on the freeway about 9 miles away from the dealership the lights (abs and traction control) came back on and the rpms went up. the vehicle was in cruise control and the vehicle had a 5mph loss in speed but went back up to 65mph with the raise in rpms. while going to exit the freeway and applying the brakes the cruise control would not disengage. i immediately placed the vehicle in neutral and turned the engine off and pulled to the right hand shoulde allowing the vehicle to coast to a stop.. after pulled over i applied the brake and placed the vehicle in park and turned the vehicle back on. the abs and traction control lights remained illuminated. i called the dealership and was advised to bring the vehicle back and i advised i would bring it back in the morning and would not use the cruise control. this is now the second time the vehicle will be going to the dealership for the same issues which include the abs and traction control lights being illuminated with the traction control and abs not working, loss of power and high rpms and bluetooth not working (not a major concern). this is the first time the cruise control has failed to disengage and only my fourth time using cruise control as it is a new vehicle and i don't use it much on the freeway.
