Consumer Description

Car would not start so I thought it was the battery so I called a tow truck and they jumped my car. I had my car jumped and went to drive it to the local Pep Boys to have my battery checked out and my car would not accelerate above 15 MPH and the engine kept hesitating every time I was trying to stop the car or at a stop light. After reading all the other complaints on this website about the same type of issues with 2016 Dodge Journeys they need to be recalled and the engines fixed.
