“On may 9th 2019 the vehicles computer was giving strange alerts about tire pressure changing among all 4 tires. Also change oil alert on & off. Low gas alert on & off. When I arrived at work around 9 am & I parked the vehicle, brought my personal things into the office. I decided to use our compressed air to check all 4 wheels tire pressure. I put the car in reverse to back out of the parking space with my right foot on the brake pedal. As I was backing up the RPM's increased suddenly sending me speeding in reverse towards my work building. …”
NHTSA complaint #11259127, filed 2019-09, 130,000 miles“First I must start out by saying this vehicle has been a nightmare since buying from a dealership who has refused to correct any of the problems in any fashion mainly because they're not a Chrysler dealership. The day after we bought the vehicle the vehicle stalled on us due to a dead battery. Not a big deal, but it was only the beginning to a wide range of problems.

NHTSA complaint #10744076, filed 2015-07, 47,693 miles“After filling the fuel tank, the motor shuts off while driving down the road.

This leaves you with no steering, no brakes and no power while going down the road. This is dangerous on several levels. This happened while the vehicle was moving down a four lane road in moderate traffic with five passengers-two infants, two children and one adult.”
