Consumer Description

Vehicle will intermittently stall and/or lose power while driving. This causes me to have to pull over while driving, wait several minutes, and then I can restart the vehicle and proceed with my way. Overall acceleration is now sluggish in all conditions. The diagnostic code that is recurring indicates an intermittent speed sensor circuit A. I have taken this to my local Jeep dealership, and they have replaced the camshaft, which failed to address the issue. They are still working on the issue as I file this complaint. I note that Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) had a prior recall issued in 2017. The VIN for my vehicle was not part of that recall, and I was not notified. I also note that NHTSA has opened a still current Recall Query with Chrysler as of July 22, 2022, as the issue that was described in that recall is still an issue with other owners of the same model, and that their symptoms match what I am facing with my vehicle.
