| Description of the problem | Since the recall a year ago (spring 2019) the vehicle has a serious hesitation in the throttle response until the ecodiesel engine reaches full operating temperature. This creates a serious safety hazard. The fuel mileage has dropped a minimum of 4 mpg. I received a second notice (12/10) regarding an "approved emissions modification disclosure 3. 0l diesel" the local dealer was unaware and stated it was the previous recall. I called "fca" (jeep) and was informed that this was the precurser to another recall. The only identifying numbers i have are "fc106038" and "****auto**all for aadc 030 7/1/2" marked on the notice. This is a serious problem that needs a fix of some sort. The cure for the original recall seems to be worse than the original problem. The original recall repair was performed 9/17/19. |
