The 2017 Dodge Journey stalls intermittently at all speeds and driving conditions. Stop and go in traffic, accelerating on the highway, coasting up a hill, starting from a stop in an intersection. Usually no codes are thrown. Recently the P0335 code was thrown, crankshaft speed sensor was replaced. Did not fix the problem. The 2016 Journey's were recalled for the same issue. Are the 2017's not worthy of a recall or does someone have to die first?

My air keeps coming back on, not matter how many times that I turn it off. It comes back on by itself. The transmission slips and jerks on the back roads, highway and interstate. My husband has called jim cogdill Dodge and keeps getting the run around about the situations. The air is an electrical issue which can cause a fire if left like it is. I was told by the salesman that he would get back to me in a couple of days. That is not professional and is very dangerous for everyone in my vehicle.

We were driving down a 55 mile per hour highway and getting ready to make a right hand turn onto a narrow bridge. We slow down before making the turn and as we proceeded the car shut down losing control of brakes and power steering. We were able to pull wheel enough from going off the bridge. We were able to start it right backup after we got control and came to a stop, but it was one of the most scary experiences ever with a vehicle. Immediately made appt to have it looked at by dealership and they could not find anything to help us. They stated that Dodge is aware that there is an issue with the car shutting down on a turn in temperatures above 105. That day the height was only 99.we did have the newest updated software when this occurred. I have contacted Dodge directly and was told that there is nothing further they can do so next time it happens to pretty much call them and set up appt. With dealer. I am so irritated with the whole situation that now we just have to hope we don't wreck it next time it happens. We try not to drive it at all as we have 3 small children. Really hope Dodge figures something out before it's too late!

The transmission is failing to shift. It shifts extremely hard and the reverse takes a few minutes to kick in or it doesn't work at all. Sometimes the vehicle will not shift at all. There is a strange burning smell after going up a hill. My electronic throttle control sensor is already on and there is only 13000 miles on the vehicle. I purchased it in January and it's only May. I have the shifting issues while driving. When it does shift it's a sharp jerk. It's a constant problem. I no longer want the vehicle.

I noticed a vibration/hesitation around 40mph and took my car to the local pischke shop and they performed a reprogramming of the powertrain control module to the latest software. Unfortunately that reprogramming did not fix the problem and I was told to reach out to Chrysler directly.
