  1. Filed Sep 18, 2017Failure Jul 31, 2017Macomb, MIFuel/propulsion system

    THE VEHICLE STALLS AND CUTS OFF SEVERAL TIMES AFTER REFUELING. THIS ONLY OCCURS WHEN THE GAS TANK IS COMPLETELY FULL WITH FUEL AND LAST FOR 10 TO 15 MINUTES IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING THE TANK. THE VEHICLE WILL CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AT LOW SPEEDS OR WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, DRIVE THRU, ETC., DURING THE SAME PERIOD OF TIME.

  2. Filed Aug 3, 2016Failure May 22, 2015Emmett, IDEngine, Power train

    THE CAR RANDOMLY DIES AT AN IDLE, LOW SPEEDS SHIFTING GEARS, [INCLUDING REVERSE] AS WELL AS DURING SPEED ACCELERATION. IF YOU PUNCH THE GAS PEDAL WHILE MOVING IT WILL START BACK UP AND CONTINUE ON. IF YOU ARE AT A STOP YOU HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL OR PARK TO USE THE KEY TO RESTART. IT DIES AT THE MOST IN CONVENIENT TIMES, AT STOP SIGNS, TRAFFIC LIGHTS, TURNING RIGHT OR LEFT. THERE IS NO PATTERN. ONE DAY IT WILL STALL OUT 2 TIMES THROUGHOUT DRIVING AND OTHER DAYS IT WILL STALL 50+ TIMES. I WAS REARENDED AT A STOP LIGHT BECAUSE MY CAR STALLED AND THE DRIVER SAW THE GREEN LIGHT AND WENT, NEGLECTING THAT I WAS AT A STOP IN FRONT OF THEM. LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPTELLS ME THERE IS NO SURE FIX BUT WANTS TO REPLACE EVERY COMPUTER AND MODULE ON MY CAR. ALSO STATING IT MIGHT NOT EVEN BE ANY OF THOSE COMPONENTS. I CANNOT AFFORD THAT OUTRAGEOUS BILL! AND THEY WON'T TAKE IT AS A TRADE IN. I'M STUCK PAYING ALOT OF MONEY FOR A USELESS SAFETY HAZARD.

  3. Filed Sep 28, 2015Failure May 1, 201390,000 milesHampton Bays, NYElectrical system, Fuel/propulsion system, Power train

    THE CAR IS RANDOMLY BUCKING, JERKING AND STALLING. I'M GETTING RIDICULOUS ERROR MESSAGES ALL AT THE SAME TIME INCLUDING U0100 (LOST COMMUNICATION WITH THE ECM/PCM), C121C (TORQUE REQUEST DENIED), U140E (IMPLAUSIBLE VEHICLE CONFIGURATION), C2202 (ORIGINAL VIN MISSING/MISMATCH), P0700 (TCM MALFUNCTION), U0164 (LOST COMMUNICATION WITH HEATING, VENTING AND COOLING), AND U110B (LOST ENGINE COOLANT MESSAGE). ALL OF THESE ERROR MESSAGES CAME UP AT THE SAME TIME AFTER THE CAR JERKED, BUCKED AND THEN STALLED. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY WEEK. THIS IS NOT RELATED TO THE STALLING DUE TO THE FAULTY GAS TANK. I HAD MY FUEL TANK REPLACED ALREADY UNDER THAT EXTENDED LIFETIME WARRANTY. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SHORT CIRCUIT SOMEWHERE. MY BEST GUESS IS A BAD GROUND OR SPLICE POINT WHERE WATER MIGHT BE SHORTING THINGS OUT. MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THESE SAME PROBLEMS AND GETTING RIPPED OFF BY DEALERS WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THE DEALER WILL CLAIM TO HAVE FIXED IT (AFTER CHANGING A PART OR TWO) BECAUSE THE CAR WILL WORK AT THAT EXACT MOMENT. A DAY OR TWO LATER, THE SAME NONSENSE ENSUES. THIS NEEDS TO STOP. THE CAR IS USELESS. I CAN'T DRIVE SAFELY MORE THAN A COUPLE OF MILES FROM MY HOUSE. CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT? A CAR WITH A LIMITED RANGE OF JUST A FEW MILES?! PLEASE HELP!!!!
