My vehicle odometer would jump from 0 to 30 while in motion(foot on pedal) and vice versa. Wiperblades started all on it's on without being turned on. No current is being brought to whole entire vehicle. Vehicle won't turn over or lock without being hooked to another battery. Can jump start but once connection is off the vehicle shuts back off. All lights flickered on and off on dash board when they never came on the 2 years I had the vehicle.

The power in my vehicle went out and my breaks locked up, the car just dies. No hazards or anything. My car stopped while driving down a heavy traffic street. Two cars almost hit my kids and I. the car does come back on a few seconds later or several minutes later. The longest time period was when I got the car towed to a shop Saturday. Once, we arrived at the shop it had come back on. This is not the first time and I fear even after we get it from the shop it will not be the last.

On August 3rd 2017 I purchased a 2012 Dodge Journey with 32000 miles. On August 4 2017 I picked the vehicle up. I noticed that evening that the front right headlight was not working. I brought the car back to the dealer and they fixed it. On August 13, 2017 the tire pressure light came on. I went to fill the tire but it seemed fine. I figured it was just a sensor that needed to be fixed. August 15, 2017 the change oil light came on even though it didn't need to be serviced. August 17, 2017 as I went to put the car in drive the car seemed to be pulling and the traction control light came on. Then the ABS light and the maintenance AWD light came on along with the others. The car will hesitate to accelerate and makes a kind of grinding noise off and on. The lights don't always stay on and will come off the screens but eventually they do come back on and grinding underneath the car starts again.

While driving the car suddenly losses power and the stability lights and ABS lights all flash. This occurs while driving on the city street and highway and turning. The shop says they do not know what is causing it. There are lots of customers on the internet with the same type of problems. This does not occur while sitting still only in motion. This has happened numerous times and when we check for codes all it says if engine misfire even though there are stability light and ABS light on.

My car is exhibiting all of the problems that other 2012 Dodge Journeys are under a recall for, regarding the ABS, and traction control, but I'm being told by the dealer that my car isn't covered under this recall. I have resurched and quite a few people are having this same issue, and being denied the recall. The recall needs to be expanded. My car has 110000 miles on it. I had the brakes changed last year by the dealership, and they have continued to make noises like a spinning rusty wheel, and now I have lost my ABS, and traction control, which then takes my cruise control. Cars should not come apart just because they reach the 100000 mile mark. I can clearly see I'm not the only person dealing with this same issue, so they need to look into this!

The brake warning light, ABS warning light and traction control warning lights come on randomly. Sometimes the brakes fail to engage when the ABS light is lit and the vehicle makes a weird noise (sounds like grinding sound). Yesterday my wife was unable to stop at a traffic signal and went through a red light when the brakes would not work. This model and year are under a recall R61 (hhtsa 15V675000) but Chrysler support says our VIN is not covered. Turns out that the manufacture date of our car is about 6 months prior to the reported recall manufacturing dates. This is a dangerous situation that they refuse to even look at or diagnose without charging us to do so. It does not take a rocket scientist to see that our vehicle is exhibiting the exact same problems and symptoms as detailed in the above recall. I guess they want someone to die before taking action. It is my understanding that safety items like ABS are covered for 5 yrs or 100000 miles and our vehicle is under that description as it has 86,000 miles and was built 10/2011
