NHTSA Complaint #11355403 — 2020 JEEP GLADIATOR

STARTING AT JUST OVER 100 MILES MY VEHICLE STARTED DISPLAYING A ELECTRONIC START/STOP SYSTEMS ERRORS AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ONE. THE CEL WAS CAUSED BY ENGINE MISFIRES AND SHOW CODE P0300. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT FCA WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND IT WAS WELL KNOW, BUT NO FIX IS AVAILABLE. THE MISFIRES CAUSE ENGINE STUMBLE AND INABILITY TO ACCELERATE AS EXPECTED WHEN PULLING OUT OR CROSSING ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE NHTSA MAY WANT TO INVESTIGATE AS FCA DOES NOT HAVE AN ANSWER. THIS MAY BE A DEFECT IN MANUFACTURING OR SOFTWARE AND SEEMS TO BE LEADING TO OUTRIGHT ENGINE FAILURES FOR MODELS WITH MORE MILES. PHOTO ATTACHED SHOWING THE DASHBOARD WARNINGS THAT CONTINUE TO OCCUR.
