Pressed on gas pedal to go across intersection and car did not go, then all of a sudden the car lunged out into traffic and hit two other cars in the intersection.
The vehicle, a jeep gc with v6 turbo diesel, just died while on the freeway and had to be towed. we tried to start it about 10 times over the next 36 hours without success. then it did start and drove ok for about an hour and a half on the highway and then died immediately while driving 75 mph. it was towed to a chrysler dealer where they said they replaced the fuel pump. *tr

After taking my new jeep into dealer because the "check engine" light came on, i was told that there were 16 stored codes but they could find no problem and the computer was reset. two days later the check engine light again came on. i took back to the dealership and was told "there is a leak in the fuel tube" we have to replace it but we will have to order the part; we don't have it in stock. i was told "it is safe to drive"...a leak in the fuel tube-what the heck is leaking-is safe. ok, but two trips to the dealer with less than 2,500 miles is a bit much. i have a 2006 jeep, same make/model that had 1st major repair (water pump) at 145,000 miles....so much for improved models. i am very concerned that this is a harbinger of future issues. *tr
The vehicle stalled for no reason. it took multiple attempts (approx 10 times) to restart the vehicle. it would start and i could drive 40-50 yards and would stall again. multiple lights came on such as vehicle in gear (it wasn't), etc. once it did restart and i was able to drive to the dealer the check engine light stayed on. the vehicle has done this twice now without cause (i have only had the vehicle for 4 weeks). the jeep dealership kept the vehicle for a couple days. they were finally able to reset the codes and did a software update. i found out a crank sensor had been replaced before i purchased the vehicle.they said they could not guaranty it would not happen again and to check back in the near future as additional software updates may become available. *tr
