This vehicle constantly shakes at about the 50 MPH. Engine light starts to come on and there is a hesitation to accelerate. This is extremely dangerous and I read several others issues with the misfire. Something needs to be done before others are hurts... Very serious issue

There is a recall on 2015 dodge journeys for the wiring on the ABS system that causes the wires to get corroded and the ABS not working. I have recently had the issue described in the recall yet my vehicle does not qualify for the recall and my local dodge repair center want me to pay 1800.00 to repair something that should be fixed under the recall and now I have a vehicle that I can not drive or I risk having an accident
While driving the vehicle in a wet parking lot the ABS light and stability light came on and remained on. This has also affected the cruise control as well. There was a recall on dodge journeys from 2012-2015 for the same issue VIN may need included in the recall.
Power surging or fuel surging during accelerating. When I try to get up to speed it is like it cuts out on fuel and surges.

The 2015 dodge journey r/t awd. I purchased this SUV 2 years ago and now while the vehicle is in drive and in motion on streets and highways the second it touches 20 MPH and up it is making this" revving noise" as if it is in another gear and it's only in drive! This SUV is not that old to have such issues happening now. Its not right when the consumer is spending their money for a SUV that is giving them issues so early into the purchase. Dodge needs to recall this vehicle!! And anyone even thinking of purchasing this SUV. Honestly don't... Run out of any dealership selling this 2015 dodge journey r/t awd SUV! The only journey you will take will be back to the dealership with issues!
There are times when my ABS light comes in and my cruise control won't work and the anti skid lights is in.
