| Description of the problem | I've had my vehicle since new in 2014 and for the first year of having the vehicle i traveled 50 miles one way to work every day, so i put a lot of miles on the vehicle but mainly highway miles. I've never had an issue with the vehicle until a month ago. I went to go to work and the electronic throttle control light, check engine light, an traction control lights came on. The vehicle would not accelerate because of the etc light. The engine pulsated and revved steady at 4,000 rpms until i shut the vehicle off. I took it to a chrysler dealer and they replaced the pcm. I got my vehicle back and it worked fine for about 2 weeks. Upon getting gas the vehicle would not start. All the lights and the radio worked but it would not click, crank, or turn over. I finally was able to start the vehicle and it ran fine for 3 days and the same thing happened in a parking lot. I took it to another chrysler dealer and had yet another pcm put in it. The vehicle is still at the chrysler dealer and i've been without it and driving a rental for almost a week now. I've contacted chrysler and upon asking them what is going to happen if the issue persists, they could only say they'll continue to diagnose it and fix it. I have a 2 year old and i can't afford to be driving an let sit along the side of the road if i decide to take him somewhere farther away. |
