“My car is dying after running for awhile. I’ve had a multipoint inspection done, and everything was in order so I’m not sure what’s wrong. It just cuts off while I’m driving, and no engine lights are on. If I try to start it again, it usually turns back on, but it makes me do it several times some times.”

“On 11/28/2024 my 2029 Jeep Renegade Multi Air Actuator failed we had just finished our drive when it failed. It spit oil everywhere and melted spark plug caps and cracked the value covers. We waited 4 months to get the part as it was on back order with thousands and we are still waiting on the value covers to this day. I PAY PAYMENTS monthly on a car I cannot drive and waiting on the parts because they are back ordered. I have spent thousands of dollars on parts and would hope thus would be a recall. If we were actively driving when it failed my family and I. Could have been badly injured.”
