Power train, Vehicle speed control, Engine, Jun 18, 2020
FROM THE THAT I DROVE IT OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP I NOTICED THAT APPLYING THE GAS DID NOT GET ME THE INSTANT NEEDED POWER TO GET THIS 6-CYLINDER CAR MOVING. IN NOVEMBER THIS CAR WITH LESS THAT 300 MILES WAS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP WHEN IT ALSO DEVELOPED A SURGE IN POWER AND A FLUCTUATING ENGINE REVVING... IT SPENT A MONTH AT THE DEALERSHIP BEFORE THEY COULD DETERMINE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THAT PROBLEM MAY HAVE BEEN SOLVED BUT THE ACCELERATION IS STILL A CONCERN OF OURS WHICH WE NEED TO LIVE WITH FOR ANOTHER 2-YEARS WHICH IS THE REMAINDER OF OUR LEASE. *TR

ROUGH WHEN DOWNSHIFTING. AFTER DRIVING FOR A WHILE IT DOWNSHIFTS OK. JUST IN THE BEGINNING 20 MINS OF DRIVING THE DOWNSHIFT IS A LITTLE ROUGH.
Power train, Apr 11, 2020
WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AROUND TOWN OR ON THE HIGHWAY IF I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR FOR ANY REASON THAT REQUIRES ME TO SLOW DOWN THE ACCELERATOR HAS AN EXTREMELY SLOW RESPONSE TIME WHEN I RE- ACCELERATE ANYWHERE BETWEEN 3 TO 6 SECONDS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF ANOTHER VEHICLE IS COMING UP BEHIND YOU AND TRAVELING FASTER THAN THE CAR CAN ACCELERATE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY. SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND BECAUSE I CAN'T GET THE CAR TO ACCELERATE BACK TO THE SPEED I WAS TRAVELING UNTIL THE SLOW RESPONSE ALLOWS ME TO SPEED UP.

I AM HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES THAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING. NO ACCELERATION, VEHICLE STALLING, THE CAR REVVING OVER 4-5K RPMS STOPPED AND FOOT ON BRAKE, RADIO ISSUES. WHAT I AM TRYING TO FIND OUT IS HOW CAN I GET FCA TO BUY BACK THIS LEMON. ALSO I WOULD LIKE SOME DATA OF HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE FILLED A COMPLAINT. I WANT TO USED THIS INFO AND GIVE IT TO THE NATIONAL CENTER FOR DISPUTE SETTLEMENT

WHILE DRIVING MY JEEP ITS COMPLETELY STALLED OUT LOOSING POWER STEERING AND ELECTRICAL , HAD TO MANUALLY GET IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. A PREVIOUS RECALL UA9 HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT MY VIN DOESN'T MATCH EVEN THOUGH IT DID THE SAME THING.
Power train, Electrical system, Electronic stability control (ESC), Mar 5, 2020
MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING FREQUENT STALLING AND WILL DIE ON ME WHENEVER I MAKE AN AVERAGE TURN (LEFT OR RIGHT), OR WHENEVER THE CAR IS DECREASING ACCELERATION ON A NORMAL CITY STREET. HOWEVER, I'M EXPERIENCING THIS MOSTLY WHEN MY CAR IS STILL HEATING UP, SO AROUND THE FIRST 10MINS OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE AFTER NOT TOUCHING IT FOR 5+ HOURS. WHEN MY CAR STALLS OR SHUTS OFF, IT STILL SHOWS THAT THE ENGINE IS ON THROUGH THE START ENGINE BUTTON. HOWEVER, I STILL NEED TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK, AND PRESS THE START ENGINE BUTTON AGAIN WHILE PRESSING ON THE GAS TO TURN ON MY CAR AGAIN. WHEN I DO THIS, THE CAR OCCASIONALLY WILL STRUGGLE TO TURN ON AND SOMETIMES IT WON'T START UP ON THE FIRST TRY. IN ADDITION, I EXPERIENCE MY CAR SOUNDING AN ALERT NOISE OCCASIONALLY WHENEVER I'M MAKING A NORMAL TURN (WHEN MY CAR IS FULLY HEATED UP), BUT MY CAR DOESN'T STALL OR SHUT OFF. ANOTHER ISSUE THAT MY CAR IS EXPERIENCING IS I CAN TELL THAT MY CAR IS OCCASIONALLY STRUGGLING TO SWITCH GEARS WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE DURING WHILE MY CAR IS IN AUTO MODE. FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY CAR MODEL BACK IN 2018 FOR A SIMILAR ISSUE ON THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. HOWEVER, MY CAR WAS NEVER RECALLED AND IT WAS NEVER SERVICED FOR ANYTHING SIMILAR TO THE RECALL.
Power train, Vehicle speed control, Engine, Feb 9, 2020
I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ONE NIGHT AND ALL THE DASH LIGHTS COME ON AND THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. I HAD TO ATTEMPT TO PULL OVER AND SWITCH THE KEY OFF AND BACK ON TO RESTART THE ENGINE. I ALSO HAVE BEEN AT A STOP MULTIPLE TIMES AND TURN OUT INTO THE ROAD AND MY VEHICLE WON'T GO, WHICH COULD RESULT IN ME GETTING HIT. I ALSO HAD MY RECALL 'FIXED' FOR THE POWER TRAIN, WENT BACK BECAUSE I RECEIVED ANOTHER LETTER SAYING IT WAS POSSIBLY NOT FIXED AND IT STILL TELLS ME THE PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED ON MY VEHICLE. I CANNOT USE CRUISE CONTROL ON MY VEHICLE BECAUSE WHEN IT GOES DOWN THE SLIGHTEST HILL, CURVE, WHATEVER, THE RPMS GO ALL THE WAY UP AND JUST SIT THERE, EVEN WHEN I HAVE TURNED OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL AND BRAKED IT STILL STAYS SHIFTED UP FOR A LONG TIME. I REGRET PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY WITH A BABY ON THE WAY ANY DAY NOW AND HER SAFETY BEING AT RISK. WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF FINDING ANOTHER VEHICLE.

VEHICLE DRIVING AND WHEN COMING TO A STOP IT SEEMS LIKE THE AUTO TURN OFF WANTS TO TURN OFF EVEN BEFORE STOPPING. FEELS LIKE ITS GOING TO STALL. ALSO LEAVING A RED LIGHT WHEN IT AUTO TURNS ON IT JERKS AND THEN SWITCHING FROM FIRST TO SECONG GEAR IT JERKS. THE TRANSMISSION HAS SO MUCH LAG SWITCHING GEARS AND PICKING UP SPEED IT ALSO JERKS AND TAKES FOREVER TO PICK UP SPEED. BUT MY MOST CONCERN IS GEAR SWITCHING AND JERKING AND ALMOST STALLING WHEN COMING TO A STOP WITH THE AUTO SHUT OFF TRYING TO TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING. AND WHEN IT TURNS BACK ON IT JERKS WHEN YOU GIVE IT SLIGHT GAS.

I HAVE HAD MY CAR SINCE AUGUST 2018. SINCE JUNE, THE CAR HAS RANDOMLY STOPPED OPERATING WHILE I AM DRIVING. IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE AND IF I AM ON A HILL BEGIN TO DRIFT BACKWARDS UNTIL I AM ABLE TO GET THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS IT HAS HAPPENED IN BUSY INTERSECTIONS AND HIGHWAYS. MY CAR HAS TURNED OFF WHILE MAKING TURNS AND WHILE ACCELERATING UP HILLS. SOMETIMES THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH ALL TURN ON AND OTHER TIMES IT IS JUST ONE LIGHT (SUCH AS THE BATTERY LIGHT). IN JUNE 2019, I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY SAID MY CAR NEEDED AN OIL CHANGE AND THERE WAS A SENSOR THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED THAT CAUSED THE CAR TO THINK THEIR WASN'T ENOUGH OIL. THEN, IN SEPTEMBER 2019, IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS BECAUSE I WAS DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE. I WAS STILL APPROXIMATELY 500 MILES FROM MY NEXT OIL CHANGE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ISSUE OF MY CAR STOPPING IN TRAFFIC WAS DUE TO "DIRTY OIL." IN DECEMBER 2019, THIS HAS HAPPENED AGAIN. I AM STILL 1745 MILES AWAY FROM MY NEXT OIL CHANGE. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THAT THEY NEEDED TO CHANGE THE OIL IN ORDER TO DO AN OIL PRESSURE TEST. I ASKED THEM TO FIX THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM BECAUSE MY CAR IS STOPPING REPEATEDLY AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY VEHICLE. IT IS A HAZARD TO MYSELF AND OTHERS AS I LIVE IN A DENSELY POPULATED AREA. THE DEALERSHIP HAS DONE AN OIL CHANGE AND CHECKED THE PRESSURE AND ASKED THAT I BRING IT BACK AT 1,000 MILES. I AM NOT CONVINCED THAT THIS WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND I THINK THE REPAIR IS COSTLY TO MAKE AND THE DEALERSHIP IS PATCHING THE PROBLEM. I AM WORRIED FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS AS THIS ISN'T SAFE.*DT *TR
Power train, Vehicle speed control, Dec 16, 2019
ACCELERATING IS JERKY AND MANY TIMES DOES NOT SHIFT CORRECTLY AS SPEED INCREASES (INTO NEXT GEAR ON LEFT HAND SIDE ). ALSO, AS VEHICLE GOES DOWN SMALL HILLS IT SEEMS LIKE IT DOESN'T UNDERSTAND HOW TO HANDLE THE DECEASE IN ACCELERATION. ALSO, WHEN SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE, IT TAKES AT LEAST 30 SECONDS TO CORRECTLY RESPOND. I BROUGHT VEHICLE INTO SHOP, THEY STATED IT WAS THE VEHICLE GETTING TO KNOW HOW I DRIVE.
