Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Seems to be an issue for a lot of people throughout chrysler vehicles. I was driving when the engine cut down to 30 MPH and indicator lights came on, engine light, traction control and red lightning bolt (etc electronic throttlebody control). What is happening is your computer has detected something wrong and has gone into limp mode which is allowing the vehicle only enough power to get off the road (limp off the road). It appears dealers and mechanics don't know or aren't telling. Don't tell them I have the solution, they are in business to make money off of you, don't give them a hand up. …”
