2017 Dodge Journey Steering Problems

I have had 3 incidents, with the latest on 12/23 when during a rapid breaking to avoid collision as a vehicle did illegal lane change in front of me, my wallet, which I had on top of the middle compartment, pushed the clutch and changed the gear to reverse and my car went backwards almost colliding with a vehicle behind me.

The contact owns a 2017 Dodge Journey. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 30 MPH on two occasions, the vehicle lost power, and the brake pedal and the steering wheel became stiff. There were no warning lights illuminated during the failure.

The ETC warning light came on, then the car slowed down then stalled out and would not crank back up. Upon running a diagnostic, the following error codes displayed; P0420, P0340, P0197, P0117, P1D83, P2181(several codes showing up more than once showing permanent, pending). This also happened before but was taken to the dealership to be repaired but the problem is back again but worse.

On Monday, August 16, 2021, I was driving towards a busy intersection when my steering wheel was all of a sudden unable to turn in either direction. I stopped the vehicle before merging on the busy intersection, which my next destination was I-80.

2021 Tires had wear. Was told Rack and Pinion was out needed to be replaced. Should not drive due to possible loss of steering.

Vehicle randomly started flashing messages on screen, wind shield wipers turned on, all lights on dash were going on and off, engine failed and breaks quit working completely, turn signals and horn also started going off. All indications that computer lost connection with vehicle temporarily.

The steering locks up like it's power steering but it's not I lose all control of acceleration the only way to regain control is to put the car in park turn it off turn it back on sometimes it doesn't want to start right back up this has happened four times while my kids are in the car and while in motion and the dealership can't find anything wrong with it all they do is update the computer.

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.

Just left my drive way not from from it about to turn on another road when my car steering went out the dash was froze and when I went to use the brakes I couldn't. I was glad I was only going 13mph and didn't have to turn and no one was around me. My kids were in the car with me we rolled to a slow stop.

My dodge journey 2017 has a steering problem. I was driving home from the market when my steering wheel stiffed up when I was trying to make a left. It was very hard to make a left turn and then I try to make it go straight and it was hard to even it out, as well as trying to make a right turn.
