Consumer Description

Engine would intermittently stall while driving without warning. Some cases the engine would go into limp mode and other cases the engine would completely shut off. Problem occured while driving on city streets as well as driving on highway at highway speeds. Severe risk of collision occurred multiple times to myself and all other vehicles around me. A local repair shop misdiagnosed the problem multiple times as there was no check engine light present. A private mechanic determined that my vehicle needed the Chrysler s89 recall fix. A licensed dealership declined to perform the recall because my vehicle was manufactured in November of 2015. The private mechanic replaced the three electrical terminals that connect to the crank/camshaft sensors which unofficially completed the Chrysler s89 recall fix. Vehicle ran problem free for two weeks with about 300 miles driven before engine stalled again this time with check engine light illuminated as well as an emissions light. Vehicle was towed to a licensed dealership. Licensed dealership found codes C2101 and P2173. Dealership replaced throttle body and a sensor. Between a local repair shop, a private mechanic, a licensed dealership and multiple tow companies I spent over 3,000 dollars (assuming the throttle body failure is a result of the Chrysler s89 recall).
