The car lost power and wouldn't speed up. Could have been rear ended. We had the abs light come on,the traction control light on, the air bag light on and a few more I didn't recognize they came on and went out so fast. Had to pull over and restart the car.

To whom it may concern, I left my home and was heading to work when someone ran a stop sign. I had to slam on my brakes to avoid being t-boned. The brakes worked at first, then the peddle pulsed and went to the floor board. I pulled over and looked for brake fluid leaking under the vehicle. After not seeing any, I tried pumping the brakes and the peddle kind of started working again, but if you keep pressure on the peddle, it will go to the floor board. When you drive it, the brakes barley respond for the first 1.5" to 2" of movement, then most of the braking is in the next 1" to 1.5" of movement. As you sit at a stop applying pressure. The peddle will go the floor board. You can pump it up to firm, with the vehicle in the off position, but after you start it, the peddle becomes soft and as stated before, goes to the floor board. 2 different dealerships have said this is normal, the brakes did not do this before having to slam on them. It does not feel safe to drive. After doing some research, it seems that the 2018 dodge journey is already being recalled for a similar problem. Thank you for time.

I just became aware that a recall was made for my vehicle, a 2017 dodge journey. Last year I had an accident in norristown, pa after my car failed to stop or slow down while attempting to turn left with cruise control activated on a city street. My vehicle went up a hill, over a couple of fences, before stopping against a tree. A few inches further right and my 17 year old daughter might have been badly hurt or killed. My car had body damage, the bumper torn off, the passenger doors damaged, the radiator and AC damaged (AC still doesn't work), and I needed to have the condenser replaced. I knew the car had malfunctioned, but never received any calls or letters about any recalls despite buying the car brand new.

This is a follow-up to 11244334 and 11243797. For background, the 2017 journey began stalling intermittently and not throwing a code (starting at about 23,500 miles). The stalling occurred during all driving conditions and speeds. The dealership could not reproduce the event and told me to drive until it throws a code. After 6,000 miles and hundreds of stalls the vehicle finally threw a code, (29,500 miles, p0335 crankshaft position sensor). The sensor replaced, connector did not fit sensor well so it was replaced (subject of complaint 11244334). Thought it was fixed, and three days later, it stalled again on the highway. Only this time the traction light came on and brakes did not work intermittently. Back at the dealership, the technician in his frustration and opened the wiring harness. What he found about 8 inches from the connector was "crank shaft position wires cut and twisted together..." the service advisor asked who else was in there. I bought the vehicle new at the dealership and they have done all work and maintenance meaning this issue was in production.
