Car quits, without warning. Highway, city street, doesn't matter speed or location. Starts right back up and can either go on like nothing happened or do it again and again leaving you in the breakdown lane, if you can get there, until it decides to suddenly drive like nothing happened again. It does not throw a code and mechanic could not duplicate. I will NEVER own another Dodge / Chrysler product. Had it since new and it has been cared for and has low miles and is garbage.
After replacing the oil pressure sensor that screws into the oil cooler assembly, which is a $30 part, and relative low labor, the engine code persists (P06DD). I did end up replacing the entire oil cooler/filter assembly as well, and I'll be covering that in a 2nd complaint, since that part is a POS. Having to replace the oil pump on a vehicle under 60k miles is ridiculous.
The mechanic just put in a new battery changed the part that stopped that annoying clicking in the vents when turning on heat/ac and an oil change. The next day (today) I was merging on I-95 and it decided it didn't want to accelerate and this almost caused an accident. I just purchased this vehicle (financed) in June of 2018. It has been a problem since day 2. I went to pick it up from dealer after business hours and it wouldn't start it had to be jumped. How? That engine light was on.
I took it back to dealer they said they put in a new battery (lie) and sent me on my way. 2months later that light came back on I believe it is something draining the battery and causing it to stall or loose acceleration while driving. I am not happy with the performance of this vehicle at all. It is keeping me local and I'm missing out on work.
I wish I found this site before I purchased this vehicle. I would of known better. It also gives a little pull back hesitation while going up hills. I'm taking it back to the mechanic.However the look of the car is nice with a banging system. But I need to be able to go wherever and whenever I want . This is not allowing me to.
This is a 2013 car. This also, was a major issue ... I was driving up the street ready to leave town when the car started slowing down and would not accelerate ... the lights on the dash were on so I was able to pull it over and "reset" it. I did read the owners manual to do this. I was able to get it to the garage 4 days later without getting stuck some where. I was told that they ( the mechanics) have been seeing more of this issue with Chrysler. Just makes me so angry!!!! I remember having a car for 10-15 years before anything like this went wrong. :( No more Chryslers for me!
