Consumer Description

SINCE THE RECALL A YEAR AGO (SPRING 2019) THE VEHICLE HAS A SERIOUS HESITATION IN THE THROTTLE RESPONSE UNTIL THE ECODIESEL ENGINE REACHES FULL OPERATING TEMPERATURE. THIS CREATES A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. THE FUEL MILEAGE HAS DROPPED A MINIMUM OF 4 MPG. I RECEIVED A SECOND NOTICE (12/10) REGARDING AN "APPROVED EMISSIONS MODIFICATION DISCLOSURE 3.0L DIESEL" THE LOCAL DEALER WAS UNAWARE AND STATED IT WAS THE PREVIOUS RECALL. I CALLED "FCA" (JEEP) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THIS WAS THE PRECURSER TO ANOTHER RECALL. THE ONLY IDENTIFYING NUMBERS I HAVE ARE "FC106038" AND "****AUTO**ALL FOR AADC 030 7/1/2" MARKED ON THE NOTICE. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS A FIX OF SOME SORT. THE CURE FOR THE ORIGINAL RECALL SEEMS TO BE WORSE THAN THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM. THE ORIGINAL RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED 9/17/19.
