The car kept losing power in the middle of driving and no engine lights were popping up to show that anything was wrong with the vehicle. The first 2 times were in reverse. The power cut off and I was unable to move the steering wheel or brakes.

Hey, The Power Steering Hose Busted for the 2nd Time Last then a Year apart. I believe this is a safety concern because of of no where the car becomes hard to Turn. I also seen that there was a Recall on the Steering hose for 2016 Dodge Journeys.
