“My wife was driving to church with my daughter and the vehicle stalled without warning for the 7th or 8th time since we bought the vehicle. There was heavy traffic at 6pm and it scared her and my 9 yr old daughter to tears. This vehicle is a real danger to my family and the lives of others. It does not start at this point.”
NHTSA complaint #10480002, filed 2012-10, 100,060 miles“Driving to work at the normal speed, my vehicle just turned off in the middle of traffic, which resulted in the car behind me hitting me. I am deathly afraid to drive this car. When I went to chrysler & called several times, I was told I was out of luck & couldn't be helped. I was even hung up on. I'm not sure what to do besides contacting the news & hiring an attorney, which isn't in my budget. Is there anyone that can help me?”
NHTSA complaint #10637155, filed 2014-09, 127,000 miles“Was driving to work going about 60 MPH and motor just shuts off. Had to pull off to the side of the road and turn off the key and tried to restart engine. It didn't start on the first try had to turn key off and tried again it started. It did the same thing when I was going home that morning had to do the same thing as above to get it started again. This is very dangerous I didn't have power steering or brakes luckily I wasn't on the freeway.”
NHTSA complaint #10483201, filed 2012-11, 126,000 miles“This car looses power without warning... Goes into neutral without warning... Slows down without warning... I have complaints dated back to 2011... Finally a recall... But the chrysler Jeep rep said bc of the type of trac system I have it won't apply to me... I'm afraid to drive but have no other choice unless I walk! My vehicle is within the same yr as the recall and has the same problems... Im filing a lawsuit!!! They won't be satisfied until someone is seriously injured!”
NHTSA complaint #10548190, filed 2013-10, 176,000 miles“Slowing down at a traffic light and the vehicle stalled. Again coming close to causing a major accident because of so much traffic., the vehicle would not start again for about 30 minutes cause grid lock and chaos. All I could here was a clicking sound when trying to start it. This happened multiple times after that and the last time I ended up having to steer into a steep ditch to avoid rear ending an 18 wheeler. I had my kids with me at the time. I contacted the dealer and got no help.”
