While driving the anti skid showed on instrument panel as off then a lightning symbol came in and car went into limp mode nit letting me accelerate much at all so I was forced to pull off the road. As it went into limp it deaccelerated very quickly causing a traffic problem before I could get off to thr side.

The traction control lights stay on as well as the ABS system, and the car goes into limp mode at regular speed and good driving conditions I took the car to the dealer and they said that the alternator was causing the problem, the alternator was only 3 months old and a brand new battery, but I replaced the alternator again and still have the same problem. I paid the dealer 170$ for the diagnostics and it did not solve my problem now if I go back they will want to soak me for more money

"the car loses power unexpectedly while driving at various different speeds or sometimes just won't start after driving but if u wait twenty minutes it might just decide to restart, the AC sometimes will only blow out very hot heat, the cruise control won't turn off and has accelerated from being set at 55 to 75 on its own without being able to turn off, it has went into limp mode at several different speeds and in 2018 wouldn't turn off from in the run position in a result of a completely drained battery and was told engine needed to be replaced which I had replaced, the catalytic converter completely disconnected from the front which I also had replaced, wheel bearings bad costing numerous tire changes since purchasing it in 2013 until someone finally told me in 2020 what was wrong only at the cost of several tires and a wheel alignment, the stability warning light comes on and turns off randomly but if I try to push the button it won't turn it back on or off and the throttle control light comes on and car goes into limp mode drives like this for a day then can go days or months with all warning lights turning off and car runs just fine until it decides to do anyone one of these problems! I have told the dealership that the vehicle has a malfunctioning computer since purchasing it in 2013! The vehicle is unsafe lemon! It has caused me anxiety, and repeated traumatic events of almost getting into an accident or being left stranded for hours! I go into a store and I panic never knowing if the vehicle will start or decide to act possessed!" I recently went to a dodge dealership to get the safety recalls done on the vehicle and dodge has informed me they will not do the recalls because I have replaced the engine! The safety recalls must be done and if they can't do it then they need to provide me w a new vehicle free of charge or give me the money back I paid!

There is a u67 by fca recall on my 2014 dodge journey which I was not notified by the dealer! I found out about the recall after paying to have the catalytic converter replaced mysel! However my car decided to go into a limp mode which it has done since I purchased the vehicle in 2013 but this time it is staying in limp mode so I researched recalls, there is also t47 and u49 when I towed my vehicle to the dealer they informed me the converter I had put on does not meet standards and they were going to replace it again and also do the other two recalls as well and then they informed me they could not do the u49 or u67 because the vehicle does not have the original engine! They told me and gave me documentation that the only recall done was t47 however they reported to fca that the u67 was complete when in fact it has not been completed! The vehicle is stuck in limp mode because it needs the PCM flashed and they will not do the recall u67 or u49 on my vehicle and sent me away to drive the vehicle 89 miles home in limp mode! This vehicle had had a PCM issue since I bought it in 2013 causing a number of unsafe malfunctions I mentioned in complaint # 11337435 and 11337440! This vehicle needs to be taken off the road and a new vehicle given to me free of charge or money back! Fca needs to know u67 has not been completed on my vehicle,

Bought this journey august 2014 , since day one we notice the tranny doesn't shift right and has bad pick up you cant even get out of your own way . , we complained and the dealer doesn't do anything says oh this is normal. No way I shouldn't get a backache every time I drive this journey. You can be driving and when u start slowing down it feels like ur being hit from behind when the tranny shifts . Or if coming to a stop sign then you hit gas it shifts the same way . Horrible and a waste of money I will go again for the 10 th time and if they don't fix this , time to take them to court lemon law time ..
