Under heavy braking conditions the vehicles ABS system did not engage and the vehicle slid losing control. There was a safety recall R61 which was documented as completed 20 May 2016, but inspection of the ABS ground wire shows it in its original position when compared to page 18 of the recall instruction. There has been no work on the ABS module since the recall.

Although the 2014 Dodge Journey received the R61 / NHTSA 15V-675 recall, the warning lights for the Electronic Stability Control, anti-lock braking system failure and the warning are currently coming on (September 2023). of the brake/parking brake system on the dashboard, thus indicating that something is not working well. When scanning the car it appears that there is no communication or there is a defect between the steering angle sensor (SAS) modules and the anti-lock braking system (ABS) module. I request that this be investigated, considering that it is a safety problem that can occur during vehicle braking. Thank you for your time.

C2200/49 Abs module internal failure code comes, along with traction control comes and goes at the same time and have learned that it is a known issue for my vehicle models from 2009-2020. High failure rate and cost is astronomically high 900 dollars to replace and programming. It all started when I accidentally ran up on a curb in October.

I had the Cruise Control recall done on my vehicle in 2018, but it never really fixed the issue. I wasn't aware there was only a 2 year warranty on the work done, and that would have put it in 202 when everything was pretty much closed down. I contacted Dodge and they said there was nothing they could do about it. I know another recall was R61 / NHTSA 15V-675 ABS Ground Wiring issue which got "fixed." Now, I am having an ABS, Skid Control, Brake light issue. I took my car to the shop and they are charging me $180 just to find out the issue. I received a call from the mechanic and he proceeded to tell me the parts needed are on backorder and may be available in March 2022, which will cost close to $2k to repair. I was also advised by the mechanic this is a common issue across Dodge, Crystler Jeep. If that is the case, which it seems to be since I have been looking online and there have been a lot of complaints, why is this not a recall" Why, if dodge messed up when producing vehicles between certain years, do the consumers have to pay to get this fixed" I don't think it is right and I think if Dodge isn't going to take responsibility and issue a recall on this then there needs to be a Class Action Suit against Dodge. I intend to start doing some legal research to find out what the process is to do this. I can't believe a dealership can charge someone $180 to run a diagnostics on the vehicle when they know what the issue is, since it is common, plus being able to charge almost $2k to repair. The issue is with the ABS pump and module, and this has to be done at the dealership since it is electrical and needs to be hooked up to the computer to calibrate or what ever.

When airbags deployed, airbag at foot control panel (gas/brake) deploys moving feet off of brake pedal. This removes emergency control by operator to stop vehicle. Operator tried to stop at intersection after another car failed to yield/ slow down at intersection. After initial contact airbags deployed and vehicle traveled another 50yards until coming to stop in ditch. The lower operator airbag impeded the use of brakes by the operator. Had there been more traffic it would have caused more accidents.

Earlier this year, my ABS light came on in my car. I scanned it and pulled a code indicating that that right front wheel speed sensor had gone bad. I replaced the sensor, and cleared the code. A few months later, while driving during a thunderstorm, the light came back on. I scanned my car again, and the same code came up. The next day, after the weather was clear, the light had gone back off. Now, any time it rains or gets very cold, the light comes back on.

Past 2-3 years whenever it rains ABS and ESC light come on and brakes fail to work properly. Once quits raining, after no more than 24-48 hours lights go off and everything functions fine until rains again. Recently there was no rain from January to mid June and I traveled from Florida to Ohio and back with no problem. Then it rained, ABS and ESC back on. Vehicle was recalled Dodge #R61 for this exact issue and the dealer stated performed recall. That did not correct problem. I contacted Dodge and was given a case number. I took to dealer after it had rained and they confirmed ABS and ESC light were on and pulled code when I dropped off stating ABS module failure which is the part that fails in R61 when it rains. The next day it did not rain and dealer states ABS and ESC light off and there were no codes indicating no problem. They say they do not know how to repair and state Dodge told them it was out of warranty. I pointed out no expiration on recall and they have stated they don't know how to fix and don't know how to get paid for repairs if could find problem. Note: The R61 states it does not apply to right hand drive Fiat freemont because the water intrusion to ABS ground wire occurs when rain runs off passenger windshield and soaks ground wire and the right hand drive vehicles have ground wire that is culprit on drivers side and water from rain does not affect those wires. In 2016 they announced they were recalling 152,000 right hand drive Dodge Journeys (Fiat freemont) without explanation however this appears to be clear proof they do not know how or where water is entering ABS wiring system.

I have had my cruise control sensor replaced multiple times within the last two years due to it not activating. After the last repair within 3 months it again stopped acting ating. This was about 8 months ago. 3 weeks ago I went to release my parking brake and heard a loud thud sound. The foot pedal would no longer catch and simply made a clicking sound. I had already scheduled an appointment for December 16, 2019 to repair my catalytic converter due to a recall that had been issued and let the service department know I had concerns with what possibly could be my emergency brake cable. They told me I could pay to gave it diagnosed but I let them know I would have to reschedule. Within this last week my truck has been flashing the traction warning light as well as the electronic throttle control sensor light which seems to come on sporadically. I am concerned that the emergency brake line could have been caught through a recall for approximately 276,000 model-year 2012-15 Dodge Journey SUVS manufactured between April 21, 2012, and April 14, 2015. This seal of the wiring harness may have prevent water from getting into the system on my truck. After doing some research the problem may be my speed sensor, which is a major component of the ABS system. The constant replacing of the cruise control may have been a sign that this system was being affected.

I was coming to stop sign and applied brakes. I had to push them all the way down for the car eventually stop after the stop sign. I pumped the brakes a few times and then they worked fine. A few weeks later I was coming to a stop again and I had to push brakes all the way down. I stopped again past the stop sign. I pumped the brakes and they worked again. It happen two more time weeks apart but the last time I pumped the brakes and hit the gas then brakes and they worked. I drove about half a block tried to stop and brakes had to be pushed all the way down. I pumped them again and went forward hit the brakes and they worked. I went forward slowly for about half a mile and when I tried slow little to turn brakes went all the way to the floor. I parked and called tow truck. I took the car to Dodge after 2nd incident and they could not find anything wrong. After 4th incident I took it to someone different and the could not find anything wrong. They recommended not driving it anymore for safety. I am lucky it always happened after I got off the interstate and did not hurt anyone or myself.

About three weeks ago, the ABS and check light came on, I researched recalls and took car to schlossmann's Dodge city. I was advised that due to weather and water leaking into wire harness that it was corroded. In which this is the basis of the R61 recall. However, since my issue is with left wheel sensor and not the front right, it is not covered. I am wondering what the difference is - if the result and cause is the same - why would it not be covered" I have also noticed that the cruise control no longer works - is this related"
