On October 22, 2021, I was driving my 2018 Dodge Journey Crossroad and upon sitting at a traffic light I press the gas and my truck started humming for about five seconds and it stopped. I brought this truck on December 4th, 2019 and it has roughly 64,000 miles on it but I kept up my routine maintenance. I am a person with disabilities and I need my vehicle to get to work. Please look into this matter my transmission should not have gone out so soon! Thank you for your kind attention.

I got a vehicle from carvana and have had to take it to the Chrysler dealership several times to be repaired. Got it back 2 days ago and now seems like the rear end is about to fall off and they said they can't get it in for 2 weeks and sent me home driving it yet again.

AWD system keeps failing, rear axle not getting any power from the transfer case. Front wheels spin on gravel or wet pavement while back wheels don't move. Then the AWD system service light kicks on. Has been to the dealer 4 times & they still have not been able to resolve the issue. This creates a dangerous condition on wet or snowy roadways.

I have had to bring my Dodge in to the dealer at least 7 times since I got it brand new. I had steering issues, brake issues, the passenger back door would not close. Now the car will "stall" at times when car is in motion and I go to accelerate. I have not brought the car in for this issue yet.

The car has barely any power. The tackometer revs upto the red zone when going uphill and then still struggles to keep speed. When driving on the street my car revs up to to the 6 on the tackometer before changing gears. Sometime I have to let go of gas to get it to drop to change gears.
