The ETC warning light came on, then the car slowed down then stalled out and would not crank back up. Upon running a diagnostic, the following error codes displayed; P0420, P0340, P0197, P0117, P1D83, P2181(several codes showing up more than once showing permanent, pending). This also happened before but was taken to the dealership to be repaired but the problem is back again but worse. Me and my family were on the highway at the time of this happening and when this happened previously, I begged Carvana to take this car back as it not safe and it has happened again.

Gas tank is leaking. No damage has been done to vehicle no off road only driven on highways. The car developed a gas smell no visual leak until 2 days later I put $40 in gas and I get home and when I come back out there a big stain in the driveway strong gas smell I look under the vehicle I see the gas tank has visual wet marks. And I can literally watch gas just roll down the tank and drip from where the filler hose meets the gas tank, I wipe the tank with a rag where the filler hose meets the body of the tank I see it just continue to pour gas out. There is no breaks in any hoses no visual crack I notice, may be a seal I cant tell.

While driving at aprox 25 mph on a slight bend in the road and slightly accelerating, I realized my engine had died when it stopped accelerating. Electrical was still working, but the engine had shut off. I was able to coast to the side of the road, turn on my hazards, and put the vehicle in park. I waited about 20 seconds, then attempted to turn the engine back on. The engine started with no trouble and with no further incidence.

During use of the vehicle, whether stationary or in motion, the "gas cap light" will come on followed by "check engine light". when this happens the code P0456 will cause the car to act indifferent, it is still drivable, but can cause other components to show a false reading. This issue has happened 4 times in the past 2 months, and every time we go to the dealership the check engine light will disappear. We have checked the gas cap, and this vehicle is under 17,000 miles. This seems to be a common issue with Dodge, Jeep, and Chrysler vehicles, and this should be handled by the manufacturer. Treat this known issue as a recall, and improve upon your evaporative emission system.
