NHTSA Complaint #11538264 — 2023 JEEP COMPASS

At 2900 miles, my check engine light came on while I was on vacation out of state. Within a couple of seconds, my car started to choke and jerk so bad that the passenger could feel it. It did this intermittently, to the point I knew it needed to be seen before driving 900 miles home. Several times since then, my safety was put at risk due to my vehicle not accelerating when it should. I have had many cars almost hit me from behind when this has happened. Luckily, I have not yet. I took my vehicle to a Jeep dealer in Foley, Alabama because that is where I went for vacation. They looked at it ran the code and told me it was a stored code. I asked him what that meant and could I still drive the vehicle. He said the light should turn off in a few drive cycles. That did not happen. When I got back to North Carolina, I took my vehicle to the dealer I bought it from. I was at 4000 miles and the light was still on and the car was still choking out a lot. The service guy took it back, checked the code, and came back to tell me that the code read per Chrysler, “Do not try to repair vehicle, there is no known repair but we are working on it”. It has been over a month and nothing. However, my car seems to be getting worse.
