| Description of the problem | I called the dealer (walnut creek chrysler jeep) in 2007 that my engine made a stalling noise when i started the engine, and they said not to worry about it (i purchased the vehicle in may 2007, so only a few months later). I moved the car to ct, and to tx (warranty companies continue to track my address, no word of recalls, they almost stalk me, i have the mailings to prove it, which i would like to opt-out from; only use an e-mail for recalls). For months, and years, i have been complaining that my vehicle has been accelerating usually while stopped at a traffic light, it stalls while driving, the front panel lights flicker even shut off (seems running on auto pilot), the engine self-shuts off for no reason. I even asked dealers if there were any recalls, they said no. I heard that many people had their front panel vehicle lights flicker erratically, also the self-accelerating and self-stalling problems with their vehicles. The thought that my car had been hacked crossed my mind (many studies show that this can happen); i contacted my insurance company, and also the state police agency regarding a drivers license and agency documentation fine print about research. No accidents, but the above problems continue to affect my vehicle (the panel lights "some what" slowed down, but the self-acceleration, self-stalling continue, and self-shut down continue. I have driven my vehicle for approximately 35,000 miles, and purchased it new in may 2007. Is this a safety issue? Note: do not post or distribute my personal information, or upload to a public database. Please keep my personal information private. In addition, i do not want to be pestered with more warranty offers; i have no idea how they obtained my physical address. |
