Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“While traveling at about 25 MPH with my 6 month old child in the vehicle, my car lost all power. The electronic throttle control indicator light came on (flashing) and so did the slide protection light. I was not able to accelerate beyond 20mph and when I came to a stop, the vehicle ran very rough like it was going to die. Luckily I puttered home and my child was safe. I had the vehicle towed to my local Jeep dealership and after almost 5 days of trying to diagnose the problem, they informed me that the PCM needed replaced. …”
