2018 Jeep Renegade

JEEP STOPPED ACCELERATING ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 75 ON CRUISE CONTROL; WE WERE IN THE PASSING LINE WITH SEMI TRUCKS BEHIND US SO WE HAS NOTHING CHOICE BUT TO PULL OVER TO THE LEFT SHOULDER UNTIL WE COULD SAFELY MOVE THE CAR TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. CAR CONTINUED TO RUN, BUT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. CAR WAS TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP, DIAGNOSTIC DID NOT SHOW ANY ISSUES; I WAS TOLD THAT IT HAPPENED BECAUSE IT WAS HOT AND BECAUSE I DROVE IT MORE THAN 5 HOURS. JEEP IS STUCK 12 HRS FROM WHERE I LIVE AND THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE. MANUFACTURER AND DEALERSHIP REFUSE TO GIVE ME A LOANER CAR.

TAKATA RECALL MY CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE AT TIMES AND I ALMOST GOT HIT TODAY I WAS PRESSING THE GAS AT A LIGHT TURNING LEFT AND MY CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE AND MY PASSENGER FREAKED OUT THINKING WE WERE GOING TO GET HIT, THE GAS PEDAL WENT DOWN AND THEN MY CAR KINDA OF JUMPED AND FINALLY ACCELERATED BUT IT'S DELAYED VERY OFTEN ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY IT TAKES TIME TO ACCELERATE AND I PRESS THE GAS SLOWLY. ALSO I HAVE TERRIBLE GAS MILEAGE AND FEEL LIKE IT DRAINS OUT QUICKLY.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND MY CAR STARTED STALLING AND JUST CUT OFF EACH TIME I TIME TO START IT AND HIT THE GAS THE CAR KEEP STALLING AND I WAS ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND MY CAR WOULD NOT MOVE, I SAT FOR 10 MINS THEN I WAS ABLE TO MOVE IT OUT OF TRAFFIC. FINALLY I GOT IT STARTED BACK UP DROVE IT MAYBE 15/20 MINS DOWN THE ROAD IT DID THE SAME THING IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC CAUSING ME TO ALMOST BE HIT FROM BEHIND. I DID THE SAME STEPS AS I DID BEFORE SO I WAS ABLE TO GET TO A PARKING LOT AND I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO HENDRICK IN CONCORD THEY WERE OUT OF CARS HE SUGGESTED THAT I COULD COME GET MY CAR BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG, I TOLD HIM WHY WOULD I DRIVE A CAR THAT KEEPS CUTTING OFF THAT'S A DANGER TO ME AND OTHER PEOPLE ON THE ROAD. NEXT DAY I HAD MY CAR TOWED AGAIN TO KEFFER IN CHARLOTTE BECAUSE THE GUY TOLD ME THEY WOULD PUT ME IN A CAR AND I EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT I CAN NO RENT FROM ENTERPRISE I SPENT $27 ON LYFT TO GET THERE AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE CARS I SAT THERE FOR ABOUT 5 HRS AND STILL ENDED UP GOING HOME WITH NO VEHICLE I HAD TO MISS A DAY OF WORK AND THEN I AM GOING TO MISS ANOTHER DAY BECAUSE THEY HAVE MY VEHICLE AND DID NOT PUT ME IN A VEHICLE AND DID NOT WANT TO OWN UP TO THE FACT THAT THERE EMPLOYEE GAVE ME FALSE INFORMATION IT SEEMED LIKE EVERYONE I SPOKE TO BLEW ME OFF AND DIDN'T CARE. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM THEM FOR ABOUT $24,000. I FEED HEARING SOMETHING IN MY AIR FOR MONTHS AND KEPT TAKING THE CAR BACK AND THEY KEPT SAYING THEY FIXED IT AND I KEPT HEARING AND I ALSO NOTIFIED THEM ABOUT MY CAR NOT PICKING UP SPEED AND BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY CODES THEY COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT. I HAD HAVE ALMOST GOTTEN HIT FROM BEHIND 3 TIMES BECAUSE MY CALL WAS NOT PICKING UP SPEED WHEN I WOULD SWITCH LANES I COULD BE GOING 70 ON 485 AND MY CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING 20 AND DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO PRESS THE ISSUE. THE ENGINE IS THE PROBLEM.

WHEN OPERATING THE VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY ON TURNS, THE CAR WILL CUT OUT AND NOT ACCELERATE WHEN THEY ACCELERATOR IS PUSHED DOWN. IT'LL LEAVE A LAG AND THEN SUDDENLY ENGAGE AND TAKE OFF QUICKLY. IT'S LIKE A STUDDER BUT HAS LEFT ME TRYING TO TURN ACROSS TRAFFIC AND SIT IN THE SAME SPOT, PAUSED AND NOT ABLE TO MOVE WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC HEADED FOR ME.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK WHEN I LOST POWER AND COULD NOT GET GAS TO THE ENGINE. WAS GOING UP A HILL WITH TRAFFIC BEHIND ME AND HAD LITTLE POWER. HAD THE GAS PEDAL PRESSED TO THE FLOOR AND COULD NOT GO ANY FASTER THAN 11 MILES AN HOUR. THE ENGINE WAS NOT GETTING ANY GAS. I WAS AFRAID OF PULLING OVER ON A HILL BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW IF I WOULD BE ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO GET MOVING BACK UP THE HILL AFTER STOPPING.
