I was driving on the highway and my car started to jerk when I accelerated and hit the brakes. I pulled over to see what was wrong with the car. It hesitated to start back up and when it did it stalled. My ESC light came on and my engine light came on before I pulled over. I was stuck on the side of a busy highway with a car that almost caused an accident when it jerked. Took the car to AutoZone for a diagnostics check and got 3 error codes, P0344, P0128, and C121C-00. Was informed that there are similar issues being reported about cars of the same year, make, and model that was not included in a 2016-2017 recall and that there is an open investigation referring to the camshaft sensor being intermittent (Code P0344). There was no other warning lights on the dashboard. All the lights came on at the same time.

I have a 2016 dodge journey about a month ago ran over a large rain puddle while turning in to get some gas. Filled up and as I'm driving off ABS, brake, and the swerving car signal kept coming on. My fuel gauge reader went all the way down to empty and the speedometer would go up and down random times while driving. Couple days later we had took it in to get checked out was told my fuel sensor went out and needed to get a new fuel pump because the sensor was inside of it. Had it fixed after waiting two days from our car guy drove it off the repair shop and not even hours later the same issue. Was told I had warranty on fuel pump purchased from dealership and they would replace it again. I took it to dealership and was told needed a new fuel pump and they were going to charge me 135 per error code and then would tell me what additionally needed to be fixed and that I would have to leave the car for up to a week. The car was just purchased in aug 2018 and it has under 54k miles on it. While driving the car at any given time all the lights continue to come on. The car stopped on me in the middle of the highway. It gave out on me in the center highway and I had to wait for emergency serveces to assist me it took 2 hours and this was at 7 am in the morning on 610/10 freeway in houston, tx the car has given out on me twice now and ive replaced the battery twice. Whatever is the issue continues to kill the battery power and I can't find any mechanic including the dealership to fix what the problem is, but they want to charge me for randomn work that does nothing to fix the issue.
Headlights flicker while driving. Has been taken in at least 3 times dealership not able to pinpoint issue. Car had all lights come on in dash and headlights strobed, then car lost all power while driving, was not able to turn on hazards as car had no power, car towed to dealership. Screen in car resets time and all settings. Has been updated repeatedly and continues to do so.

- What is wrong
- Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2014-2018 Dodge Journey, Charger and Durango, RAM 2500, 3500, 3500 Cab Chassis (more than 10,000lb), 4500 Cab Chassis and 5500 Cab Chassis, Jeep Cherokee and Grand Cherokee and Chrysler 300, 2014-2019 RAM 1500, 2015-2018 Dodge Challenger, 2015-2017 Chrysler 200, 2016-2018 RAM 3500 Cab Chassis (less than 10,000 lb), 2017-2018 Chrysler Pacifica and 2018 Jeep Wrangler vehicles. These vehicles are being recalled to address a defect that could prevent the cruise control system from disengaging. If, when using cruise control, there is a short circuit within the vehicle's wiring, the driver may not be able to shut off the cruise control either by depressing the brake pedal or manually turning the system off once it has been engaged, resulting in either the vehicle maintaining its current speed or possibly accelerating.
- Risk
- If the vehicle maintains its speed or accelerates despite attempts to deactivate the cruise control, there would be an increased risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the software, and perform a software flash on the engine or powertrain control module, free of charge. The recall began June 4, 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1‑800‑853‑1403. Note: Owners are advised to stop using cruise control until the software update has been performed. In the event that cruise control cannot be disengaged while driving, owners should firmly and steadily apply the brakes and shift the transmission to neutral, placing the vehicle in park once it has stopped.
