2016 Dodge JourneyRecalls, problems, MPG & safety

“My catalytic converter code keeps popping. There is a recall for the year of my car, but the 2.4L. I truly believe the 3.6L for 2016 dodge journeys should be added to this recall as I see all over online its a huge issue for that year make and model as well. Abs module- the lights in my dash and code reader indicate a failing abs module. This is such a problem that the part is on back order. I believe this should also be a recall as it affects the safety of everyone on the car when the brakes aren't functioning properly and it can also affect other components of the car.”

“The contact's wife owns a 2016 Dodge Journey. The vehicle lost power while depressing the accelerator pedal in the middle of an intersection and narrowly avoided being struck by an 18-wheeler. The check engine warning light and several other unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact and his wife manually pushed the vehicle out of the intersection. Once out of the intersection, the contact attempted to drive the vehicle; however, the vehicle failed to engage while shifted in drive(D) or reverse(R). Due to the failure, the contact had a friend tow the vehicle back to the residence. The contact’s wife informed him that a week prior to the failure, the vehicle surged forward upon depression of the accelerator pedal after coming to a complete stop. The contact stated that there was an abnormal, burning odor coming from the vehicle after the failure. The contact and his wife suffered mental anguish due to the failure. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V461000 (Power Train). The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and the contact was informed that the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was 128,761.”

“The ABS light came on and the Brake light came on plus the traction light is on. The car will not activate cruise control or the traction control either. We have no idea when it will completely stop working and causing an accident as a result. The problem has been identified as the ABS Brake Module by Integrity Automotive in Wylie Texas. Both Autozone and Orielly's have printed off the same codes. The lights in the dash have been on for 3 days.”
