This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
While the vehicle is moving and with my feet on the gas pedal the rpms drop, the car shudders. About 5 seconds later the rpms jump up but doesn't gain speed. Also the car jerks before accelerating very slow. No codes but clearly there's a problem.
Electronic throttle control is not working my car loses power and won't go over 25 mpg if that which could cause a accident if I am driving along then all of a sudden that light with two lighting bolts come on and the power goes. I have seen on the internet several people with this same problem and wonder why Dodge is not doing something about it. They must know because this part is under warranty for only three years and that is when it goes is after three years warranty is up. I like Dodge and will probably keep buying there but I wish they would look further into this problem and fix it they could gain a lot more loyal customers if they did. This problem happens when in drive or driving some where and it will not go up hills at all stalls out when this is happening.
Loss of power and prevented the vechile from accelerating past 10-15mph. Ive been going into dealers for same type of items. They just keep resetting code. Send me away. Today I was stranded. Need help.
The brakes suddenly failed. I was able to stop the car by standing on the brakes. I if I had been in traffic I would have crashed. The engine was shaking very hard and it would not accelerate to get it off the road. Two lights came on. The electronic throttle control and the one that shows a picture of a car on a slippery road. The next day the lights were off and it behaved normally. Then it reoccurred. I am taking it to a dealer but sudden loss of braking is unacceptable and from what I read on the internet a lot of people have had this same issue.
