“I was driving home from work and all of a sudden I am pushing the gas pedal down but unable to go faster. I lost complete power. The car was in gas mode at the time of incident. I could not start the car or move the dial from park, neutral, etc... I had to get out of the car lock it, get back in and I was able to start and go straight to the dealership.”

I receive one of these responses from their service department: they can’t replicate the issue, if the lights that came on are no longer on they cannot tell what the problem was, or they fixed it. I’ve had multiple calls and service request with the dealership as well with Stalantas and Chrysler capital. …”

“While driving 30mph in town, the vehicle shut off. The engine quit, lost power steering, dash message said, “Press brake and push button to start.” Conditions were: in e-Save mode, the gas engine was running, battery level was <1%. We came to a stop, pushed the start button, the vehicle started and drove normally. The passenger recorded most of this on video. We did complete the related recall last November.”

NHTSA complaint #11718018, filed 2026-02

“Awaiting motor mounts. Causative water pump replacement. Loose feeling and creaking sound when operating the vehicle. Hard knocking sound when shifting gears to drive or reverse. I thought most of all of the sounds were normal because it is a Jeep. This has been for more than I realized.”
