Dodge journey battery saver mode

I recently purchased a used journey crew, all inspections cleared, 1 month in while driving the car entered safe mode. Once I was able to pull over and place in park there was a complete loss of power, no lights, no gauges not even a door signal. After being towed, the fob still doesn't work, still no power the next day. So how can we assist you? You only stated of having it towed, has anything been diagnosed like the state of the car battery and charging system? Some specifics like how long is recently purchased and miles on the DJ would be helpful for further assistance from fellow Journey owners here.

Incidentally, cars without this preventive feature will usually start after a few minutes after turning off all electrical loads and waiting for the battery to recover. I hope this helps.
