| Description of the problem | My stalled 3 times in 2 weeks. Twice i was slowing to take a turn-this happened a week apart in the same exact turn. Twice i was driving about 20 mph. This happened on 4-21-19, 4-27-19 and 4-30-19. I have approx 5200 miles. I called chrysler and they said there were no recalls, that i probably do not need an oil change (she checked on this information). When the light goes on or 7-8,000 miles i should schedule one. No dash indicator lights come on. Each time i am able to guide my car out of traffic. I shut off radio, wipers and all electrical and after i hit to restart it sounds like it is really trying, but it eventually does start. I stalled this morning (5-1-19) and i was almost rear ended as it was so sudden. The car behind me had to swerve. I put on my hazards. I called chrysler corporate because my dad hears something about the 2. 4l engine being recalled. Chrsyler corporate told me to bring it to the dealer and either way should be covered (warranty or added to recall). The dealer had no record of recalls and said i needed an oil change. That is ridiculous that needing an oil change could be such a dangerous thing. I find that hard to believe. I have had this jeep since oct 2018. I am very scared now. I commute to boston in the tunnels and on the tobin bridge during busy rush hour. So disappointed these dangerous problems are happening - and so soon after purchasing. My customer care # from my call into chrysler (fca - fiat chrysler automobiles), which they closed even though it wasn't resolved, is 57585393. Called them 4-30-19 also, sometimes when i turn my wheel to take a sharp turn a bell dings one. It has happened about 6 times since owning. |
