The car is constantly needs a jump start, and the pedal will not accelerate. I have had multiple diagnosis and they don-??t know what it is- the cruise control component comes on at the beginning of the jump start until the car runs. Auto Zone and Midas has checked the battery, alternator, did a draw and they can-??t find the issue. When driving the pedal will not accelerate- may have to pull over, and restart- then it works, until you disengage the car. They charged me over $30,000 dollars for this vehicle and I-??m still paying on it and I can-??t even drive it because I feel unsafe, especially with the pedal. It-??s too cold to get up and jump start a car every morning. I-??m paying $460.54 every month for a car that I don-??t know that-??s wrong with it- I purchase a warranty and though I didn-??t hit the mileage they said it expired because it was for three years. This should be illegal. I really need to drive to get things done. There-??s no lights coming to indicate a problem, please assist. it kept [XXX] cutting off and the cruise control, then it stopped. Tried to connect with Chrysler they said they were backed up, only speed issues, like accelerating faster than the mileage, now since it got cold - it won-??t even crank up without a jump start, but all things checked and the mechanics can-??t find the reason saying it-??s electrical. Do you think Chrysler OS messing with my car because that-??s dangerous and this is stressful- I-??ll send the police report need to find INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Has happened on highway and city streets when I accelerate sometimes the rpms get stuck at 4000. And there is also lag from my acceleration when I take off and will get stuck at high rpms when I slow down while coasting and braking only way I've gotten it to stop is by tapping on my gas again.

I purchased my vehicle brand new in 2017 and started experiencing issues within the first year. The car has cut off multiple times while driving, without warning, in the middle of rush hour traffic. It also frequently stalls. I've taken my vehicle to 3 different dealerships in 2 different states at least 10 times. Two of the three dealerships claimed that the problem was some sort of fuse underneath the driver's seat. After the car continued to shut off without warning, I was told that it was due to low oil. I've called Chrysler's headquarters who has given me a free oil change package and instructed me to return to a dealership every 500 - 1000 miles for an oil consumption test. They know that the car is burning an unusual amount of oil which is a clear indication that there's a problem. Instead of issuing a recall, they continue to put lives in danger by giving them back their death trap of a car and instructing them to check and get frequent oil changes. I'm guessing their hope is to keep the oil changes going until the warranty runs out. Someone's going to lose their life or get seriously injured in these cars, I just pray that it's not me.

I noticed there were recalls for the following problems and I have seen all of these happen to my vehicle but they haven't been fixed. Cruise control wont come off unless you hit the brakes 5 or 6 times and randomly speeds up without shifting. When this started happening my gas mileage went way down and the engine light keeps flashing. The codes coming up are cylinder misfire and air fuel ratio. I have talked to several people who said they had a similar issue and their dealership fixed it. I was told there were no recalls and nothing could be done. Not happy

Car accelerated to 50 mph in a parking lot, was able to veer out of parking lot into main road. Unable to stop using brakes. Eventually hit a median and the accelerating stopped. Upon having vehicle towed to dealership, they couldn't find any codes or issues.
