“Rough idle, spotty acceleration, remote start cuts out, engine light, ebs light, throttle control light all come on, higher RPM this issue sounds like multiple others that people have had, but there's no recall for my VIN?. The attached description from another person is exactly what is happening to mine. My vehicle has 62500 miles.”
NHTSA complaint #11281006, filed 2019-11, 62,600 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.”
NHTSA complaint #11344066, filed 2020-08, 97,400 miles“Takata recall the throttle control indicator came on and then I started having issues with being able to accelerate. The check engine light came on and the throttle indicator light went off and come back on randomly. I was told that there are two sensors that have been know to go bad on jeeps and one if not both would need to be replaced. There was no warning just lost all acceleration capability going 60mph in motion on the highway.”

I got my car read and the code came back as p0365. …”

The car seemed to stall out and would not accelerate, I was able to quickly turn on my hazard lights and turn the ignition off and restart the vehicle and go. This could have been a terrible accident!!!!! The malfunction indicator light remains on.”
