Consumer Description

This vehicle has had issues starting from the beginning. It occasionally sputters for ~10 seconds when I push start and then stalls. At other times, it starts, then immediately shuts off. It often takes several attempts when either of these things happen for the car to start and keep running. Jeep eventually came out with a recall related to the fuel system that causes starting issues. I have been on a waiting list since October 2021 for the replacement parts so I can have the recall issue fixed, and Salerno Duane Jeep in Summit NJ is still telling me they have no idea when the part will be available. I am therefore selling the car because my kids drive it and I can’t have a car that won’t start for safety reasons. How can Jeep know this issue exists, keep me waiting for nearly a year and still not be able to tell me when it can get fixed?
