“My Jeep needs major repairs, and I don't have the funds. I was told that I have a throttle problem along with some transmission issues. But in order to even look at the transmission, the throttle has to be repaired first, and they want $600 for that?”

NHTSA complaint #11387752, filed 2021-01, 89,000 miles

“The car has shut off multiple times while driving on the road. I have had the transmission flushed, replaced the battery, had the throttle sensor control replaced, had the crankshift replaced, and the catalytic converter replaced. I took the car to the Jeep dealer and even after replacing the catalytic converter the car still shuts off, and they cannot tell me why. The dealer stated that no codes are coming up so they cannot identify the issue.”
