“Driving when I lost power, even pushing on the gas... The car slowed to under 20mph. A few lights came up on dash (check engine, traction control, lightning bolt) engine stuttered and cars were swerving to go around me because I had no power no matter how much I pushed on the gas. This is the second time this happened to me, I was on the highway.”

Thought it was me and asked a mechanic at annadale service center in staten island to help and the same thing has happened to them. So off to the dealership for this service at island Jeep chrysler. A diagnosis was an issue with the filler tube.”
NHTSA complaint #11181204, filed 2019-02, 50,000 miles“I was driving, and my car started to get hot. The hot engine light started to beep. I was on the highway so I tried to get to a safe area to pull over. Before I could even do that I heard and felt the car shake and all of the sudden the temperature drops to cold and the check engine light and the throttle control light turned on. Drove it home and in the morning the check engine light is on.”
NHTSA complaint #11241230, filed 2019-08, 67,780 miles“I was driving on the expressway & all of a sudden my vehicle just started stalling. I couldn't drive any faster than 30mph. I could've been in an accident with my kids in the car with me. How is this not included in a recall? I've seen several other vehicles with the same issue. Plus there was a recall done in 2013 for this same issue with the engine stall so why isn't my vehicle included in this recall.”
