“I have taken the car in since first oil change with an electrical issue. It still has not been resolved. The abs light, air bag, start stop and seat belt lights and sounds would go off. Potentially causing a whole host of issues. There is still no fix and this will be for fourth time I have taken it the dealer.”

“My vehicle, Jeep Renegade only has 5,526 miles on it and I purchased it brand new on June 11th 2022. On Monday, October 10th 2022 at approximately 1325 hours, I was driving the vehicle in the left lane on the Grand Central Parkway, a major highway in NYC, when the vehicle shut down on its own in moderate traffic. Every instrument light (Dummy Light) went on however the car did not turn off. I tried to turn the vehicle off but it wouldn’t! I feared for my life as other cars barely avoided me!! …”

“The Courtesy Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Tampa, Florida dealership fraudulently marked my safety recall as completed in 2024, despite never performing the repair. I have driven this vehicle for two years believing my major airbag safety recall was addressed, when it was not. The Vancampen Motors Inc - Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge, Ram in Williamsport PA physically confirmed the recall connector was still installed, and I photographed it with the mechanic. The mechanic explained that this defect could prevent airbags from deploying in a crash, risking serious injury or death. …”

“First, this vehicle is burning 1 quart of oil every 750 miles. Being unaware, when driving, engine shudder and tried to fail, making me unable to accelerate through an intersection. When trying to accelerate, the vehicles RPMs extend above 4 if I don’t accelerate at an extremely slow pace. I can not get up to speed quickly when going on to a freeway. The vehicle collision warning continues to malfunction. Had it fixed again recently. Gas is burning faster than it should be because of the high RPMs and engine working so hard. …”

“I purchased the vehicle at 15 miles and about 2 months after purchase while driving, the front collision warning light came on and there was no reason why the light came on. I took it to the draler and was told it will take some time to find out the problems, needed to leave my car and would not providr a loaner or rental. 6 days go, the seatbelt sign, emergency brake, parking break, airbag, and automatic break light all turn on when I start the vehicle. However yesterday as I was driving, all the lights turned on. The seatbelt sound also turns on even though I am wearing my seatbelt. …”
