“The heat of the summer months tend to make the car engine sputter as you head down the road. This happpened again yesterday only this time as we prepared to make our turn the vehicle totally shut off, allowing me to loose control of the steering we were fortunate no one was behind us or pulling out where we were turning . We would have either been rear ended or would have run into any car waiting to turn.”
NHTSA complaint #11326683, filed 2020-05, 84,000 miles“I had been driving for maybe 8 minutes at 55 MPH when suddenly the vehicle jumped, stalled and lost power. After gliding to the side of the road, I made 3 attempts to restart in park. It would not restart. After waiting several minutes the car did restart. All of this while people are passing at 60 MPH on a two lane road!! The vehicle is not registering any codes!!”
NHTSA complaint #10556915, filed 2013-12, 124,478 miles“Normal driving conditions on road and Jeep totally dies, no power at all, this has happened twice.

NHTSA complaint #10691651, filed 2015-03, 93,000 miles“Car will decelerate, and will not respond to depressing of the accelerator pedal. Occurs at various speeds and traffic conditions. Contacted dealership, began to describe issue, without describing the make and model, and the repair-shop was able to then tell me the make and model of my vehicle without me previously disclosing. …”
NHTSA complaint #10364249, filed 2010-11, 38,000 miles“I have received a recall notice over a year ago from fiat chrysler. I have had the vehicle turn off due to the ignition switch multiple times. Both my husband and my son were driving the car at the time. The engine stopped, the power steering did not work, it was on the highway and on a country curvy road. I do not feel I can sell this car to someone else who might potentially wreck due to this issue. I am still being told the parts are not available to fix this vehicle.”
