The car kept losing power in the middle of driving and no engine lights were popping up to show that anything was wrong with the vehicle. the first 2 times were in reverse. the power cut off and i was unable to move the steering wheel or brakes. i was able to restart the car and go. the third time i was going forward on a highway. i slowed to turn on and the power cut off in the middle of the turn. i was unable to control the steering wheel or brakes. luckily i was not around other vehicles and the car slowed to a stop on the side of the road in grass. this occurred with a young child in the car and it scared both of us. i was able to then start the car again and get it into the dealership service department the next day. the service department could not find anything wrong with the vehicle when they hooked it up to their machines. they drove the car for a week and were unable to find anything wrong with the vehicle. the last day when they took it for one more drive the car died on them in the middle of driving. they hooked the car up again and it showed that nothing was wrong. when they contacted chrysler corporation they told them to look at the engine. that is when they found metal shards and other things wrong with the engine. the corporation had known that some of these engines were faulty but had not notified the dealership or the consumers that they could be driving a car with a faulty engine. this was most definitely a safety issue and especially concerning since we had been driving our young children in the vehicle with us. i believe the consumers should know that they could have faulty engines and not know because the service machines do not detect the problem and chrysler is not giving out the information.
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
Takata recall. my vehicle brakes has a pause between them. when i am coming to a stop it take a while to break. the breaks are not consistent this is very scary, i was driving on the freeway yesterday and the breaks took a while to actually start breaking. these breaks are not right. i was told after 500 miles the car would break in and drive better. but still driving the same. very dangerous for myself and my family.
Was raining and when i went to break it's like there was a little bit a break failure like it did not want to stop the vehicle and i ended up skidingbefore the vehicle came to a stop but did not hit anything so it's like it it did not want to grip the pavement or stop until it actually gripped
Some days my brake pedal feels more firm and will stop on a dime than others times it feels spongy or soft and goes to the floor it does stop the vehicle but when it's spongy it takes longer almost as if i'm driving a freight train at 60 miles an hour highway in or in town driving as of today i don't have any other complaints other than the brakes
Tl* the contact owns a 2018 dodge journey. while depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle would skid before stopping, which extended the braking distance. the contact indicated that the failure was intermittent. the failure was not diagnosed or repaired. the local dealer (trotter auto el dorado, 1910 w. hillsboro st, el dorado, ar) was notified of the failure. the manufacturer was not notified. the failure mileage was 200.
