Vehicle had strong smell of fuel after short trip. Investigated, found fuel on harness behind engine. Took vehicle to dealership. Dealer found "diagnose hole in fuel supply tube. Damage caused from contacting and rubbing on engine wire harness. Fuel line bundle will need tom be replaced. VEHICLE NOT SAFE TO DRIVE!." There were no warning lamps, messages, or any other signs of a problem except for the smell of fuel. I do have the fuel bundle that was replaced showing the damage, a pinhole. Pictures attached.

As of May 5, 2023 vehicle begin to jump when pushing on the gas as though there was bad fuel or a misfire. Reported to the dealership as soon as I had an appointment on May 15 due to no errors on the computer they were not able to diagnose Without a code Was advised to continue driving car as there was nothing happening on their end. On July 20, 2023 the vehicle turned off while driving and stepping on the gas the vehicle then turned on with lights. I had never seen before and then pulled over to check on overheating which there was none turned off the car, and turned back on, proceeded to a auto parts store where they had an OBD two reader for codes P2122 & U1400 were reported multiple times at a severity level three. Vehicle is currently at the dealership where the mechanic reset the codes and doesn-??t know how to get them back. Vehicle continues to jump when pushing on gas.

The engine stalled and shut off with no warning lights or anything. The whole car shut off while I was driving. This has done it to me 2 times. First incident I was in the middle of an intersection and it died on me. I had to put the car in neutral and coast to safety. Got it to start back and drive to the dealership and they couldn-??t figure out what happened. 2nd time I was merging on a highway from an on ramp and it just shut off with no warning. I had it towed to the dealer. I had oil and I had gas both according to the computer and dash of the vehicle. I was told the dealership that it was probably my fuel level sensor could be bad because the computer registers that I have fuel when I don-??t have any. I was told it wasn-??t covered under warranty and there was not any recalls at that time. I have read recent articles where many jeeps and dodges around my year model with the same issues and the engine stalling. It-??s happening now to me and I am seriously concerned for my safety. This car is 3 years old and shouldn-??t be having this issue. I feel like I was sold a lemon and it has caused me to think I will never buy another Chrysler made vehicle.

I was parking in my usual spot, slowly into the parking spot with my foot on the brake 5 mph, suddenly the Jeep accelerated and smashed into the wall of the building at full force. The Jeep bounced back so hard it jerked my head. The Jeep was leaking fluid, and the frame bent with body damaged. It had to be towed to the body shop. I am 100% sure that my foot was NOT on the accelerator. This could have been a fatality if I was on the road with other cars. Please investigate, I feel unsafe.
