What owners report most
Power train
“The car has a lot of dangerous problems. For one I had my truck diagnosed and code came back as gas cap. Then it was electric problems after the replacement of the gas cap. Check engine light was still on. So I went for another diagnostic now is coming up power train. Went to 3 to 6 transmission shops and all told me different reasons solenoid, pcm, Tcm, or maybe it’s just shot all together is what the last shop told me. That’s a $3,000 repair and that’s ridiculous after I had all those pieces replaced. My car stills doesn’t shift gears as I’m driving I can’t really go over 40 or 50 mph because of high rpm’s. The car doesn’t shift gears and I’m hearing a loud whining noise as I drive. I was on the high way and could get off fast enough because of high rpm’s and the car not shifting and also automatically switches from drive to auto-stick on it’s on. Pls Help Me”
Engine
“Engine Sub Frame-AKA Engine Cradle is rotting out. Vehicle was inspected on July 6, 2023 at Jim Rielh's Chrysler -Jeep Dealership located at 32899 Van Dyke, Warren Michigan 48093. The report came back as " FOUND FRONT ENGINE CRADLE / FRAME ROTTED / RUSTED OUT." This vehicle has been well maintained and has been Safety Inspected by the same dealership in 2021 & 2022 and never advised there was a problem with the Engine Cradle. Now in 2021, three engine mounts were replaced to correct clunking noises when accelerating, but again there was never an advisement of a potential Engine Cradle Rot. The vehicle had 127, 640 miles on it when it was inspected by the dealer. The results were reported to Chrysler Customer Care via email and by phone but no response as of today.”
Electrical system
“AFTER PUTTING IN GAS IN THE CAR IT WILL DIE AS IF IT IS NOT GETTING GAS AND WHEN FILLING UP I HAVE TO PUMP SLOW BECAUSE IT ACTS LIKE IT IS NOT TAKING THE GAS. ITS DIED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT ANY WARNING. IN TRAFFIC GOINF THROUGH A LIGHT IT SHUT OFF AS IF IT HAD NO GAS. THE CAR THEN WILL NOT TURN ON THE KEY TURNS OVER BUT SPUTTERS. ONCE I PUMP ON THE GAS AFTER 3 OR MORE ATTEMPTS IT COME ON. WE HAVE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP AND AUTOZONE CODE GAVE P0461 FUEL LEVEL SENSOR A AS THE PROBLEM. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS THE CAR JUST SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING AND UNABLE TO START IN TRAFFIC OR JUST SHUTTING DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY. THE OIL LIGHT COMES ON AS WELL. THERES A NOISE LIKE A TICKING SOUND I CAN HEAR BY THE GAS TANK WHEN I SHUT OFF THE CAR. AS SOON AS I LEFT THE GAS STATION TODAY I HAD IT IN DRIVE ABOUT TO TURN ON THE STREET WITH TRAFFIC COMING AND IT SHUT OFF AND WOULS NOT TURN ON FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. I WAS LUCKY I DID NOT GET HIT.”
