“The transmission is stalling at 25739 miles. I bought it in april of 2020, 6 months ago. When accelerated the engine struggles to get over 65 miles and revs incredibly. Then the tachometer shoots up and down giving me unstable speeds. This happened on the expressway continuously. It is still under warranty and I am taking it to the Dodge dealership tomorrow. There is also a shake I feel and vibration.”

NHTSA complaint #11362716, filed 2020-10, 25,739 miles

“When pushing the start button the vehicle continues to turn over but takes awhile before it cranks and it usually happens when it's a cold crank and it's been sitting for awhile I'm pretty sure it's the fuel pump.also whenever your getting in and backing out the brakes squeak pretty bad and this vehicle has less the 25k miles on it.”

NHTSA complaint #11331979, filed 2020-07, 23,000 miles

“The engine coil packs and spark plus were faulty. After we paid the dealership 700 to fix WHICH WAS NEVER FIXED then we fixed on our own paid a family friend to look at and fixed and then to another dealer to fix NEVER WERE fixed which cause faulty engine and engine collapsed. When told the dealer ship the problem they told us they couldn’t look at it until 2 weeks from that day and then we had to pay for it.”
