On 5 different occasions this truck has gone into what the dealership is referring to as limp mode. No matter what speed you are traveling the truck involuntarily down shifts into a speed averaging 20 miles per hour without warning. This happened twice while traveling on the highway doing approximately 65 miles an hour. The other three times the speed went from 30-45 miles per hour down to 25 miles per hour. When this happens the dash board lights up indicating an electronic throttle light problem. Each time this happened the truck was taken back to the dealership that we purchased it from. The first time a PCM update for the voltage code 18-19-04-eh which did not remedy the defect, just a few days later, on March 10, 2016 the vehicle suffered the same defect which created a potentially hazardous situation since the vehicle was being operated on a major roadway. Again, freedom Chrysler looked at the vehicle and replaced the boost sensor (68211211aa sensor-intake manifold) again 1 day after this was returned to us it went back into limp mode. This time (3-21-16) the incidents were reported to Chrysler at 800-423-6343 and we were given a case number and a case representative. The case manager offered at this time to reimburse us 1 months payment due to the lose use of the vehicle. We declined payment until we knew the vehicle was fixed properly and that no other issues would arise. The fourth time the truck went into this mode all of the injectors were replaced. 1 day later there was a very load noise coming from the truck so it was returned yet again. This time freedom Chrysler said we had received a defective injector and they changed one of the new injectors out for another one. We are not willing to risk ours/others lives by driving this truck. We have asked freedom Chrysler and Chrysler motors to replace this vehicle to no avail.
