What owners wrote
Dodge journey burst into flames after being repaired after a factory recall, driver had to pull over to the side of the highway stop and exit the vehicle until smoke subsided and fire was extinguished.
Transmission unexpectedly downshifts at any speeds causing the engine to red line and the speed governor cuts off the fuel causing the vehicle to stall. The only way to resolve the problem is to restart the engine. Have almost been rear ended on more than one occasion.
