I am a single mother of three! I am the bread winner and their only option when it comes to care! We have one car and to buy a car that we could have died in has me pissed. The car cuts off while I'm driving and doesn't start up! When driving on the interstate where drivers including myself are doing 65-70 mph I can only say I have a guardian angel because this is the 2nd time it has happened! Of course I called the body shop and the dealer who sold me the car - I have only had it for 2 months. And according to all the documents the car has been maintained with one owner. What really grinds my gear is to see I'm not the only one! Also no codes show up and after sitting there waiting for some kind soul to get me out the middle of the road and waiting 3 hours for roadside assistance the car cranks up! I drove home at the slowest speed with blinkers on my kids crying me crying and praying! Dodge better fix this sh*t! No excuse, I have already started looking into a lawyer! because they knew they had a faulty product! My children or myself will not wait to be injured or die.

Crazy day! During evacuation during Hurricane Mathew while driving to get supplies car jerks and the cuts off, luckily I was close to a median. Had the hazard lights on so no one would hit me and due to the situation I put the car in Park and the car would not come out of park to go in Neutral so it could be pushed out the road! Battery died while waiting to be towed and when it got to the mechanic he said he did not see the issue. I was just the battery! I'm like bullshit! There is something wrong with the car and it's not a damn battery! He just says if it happens again let him know here is the bill! So I'm out of money on a rental, tow and a f*cking battery. To find out that I'm not crazy this is a known issue and Dodge has not done anything about it!

Today I turned the key and it hesitated to start, so I am think great starter and or solenoid must be going out.

Then when I started the car it made 3 chimes and the Electronic Throttle Control Light came on. So before I do anything. I will look on line to see if there was any thing there. I read this is a problem that may require me to change the throttle body. I will have to wait now till I can get it repaired.

Its really annoying, this car is only 3-4 years old and only 26000 miles on it and I am having so many problems. Sorry Chrysler Dodge Jeep I will not be buying another one of your automobiles.
