Description of the problem | When my vehicle is in motion, driving through city streets, and i try to apply the break it accelerates instead. The rpm's will reach 4000 or 5000 and hold there. I was told by chrystler to apply the gas quickly then break when this happens to stop my vehicle. This is unsafe and i do not feel comfortable in my own car. I also have an issue with the engine making a knocking sound at times, and the radio fades in and out, with that feature turned off, as well as shutting completely down and resetting itself. Prior to the recall in nov of 2018 this same vehicle from one week of purchase would stall while i was driving through city streets. All of these things happen at a speed of 35 or less. The car went from stalling to after recall update it is now accelerating when trying to stop. The dealer has not been able to replicate and chrystler either so they are saying there is nothing wrong with the vehicle. I do not feel safe in my own car. I am worried there will be a time i will not be able to stop the car before causing an accident. |
