As I was backing out of a driveway, I heard a loud pop and felt something hit me in the back of the head really hard. My headrest burst open spontaneously. I now have a bad headache and sore neck.

While driving on the highway, the electronic throttle control light suddenly flashed and the car refused to accelerate. This happened multiple times while driving so I took it to the dealership and they say the throttle body needs to be replaced for $993. Many reviews online report the same exact problem and the dealership just laughs at them and says there isn't a recall on the part. The speed limit on the road I was on was 55 mph so being shot down to 20 mph while my car jerked unexpectedly was very dangerous for me and my son in our vehicle and the cars around us. There was no warning and the car hasn't had any problems before besides a slow start about once every other month. This needs to be fixed and recalled before people end up dead.

tHE CAR HAS STALLED AND SHUT OFF SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT, WHILE DRIVING THE CAR JUST SLOWS DOWN AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE AND HAS LEFT ME STRANDED SEVERAL TIMES

THE JEEP WILL STALL/STOP RUNNING AT VARIOUS POINTS WHILE IN MOTION, WHEN STOPPING, WHEN STARTING. THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON AS WHEN THIS MIGHT OCCUR. I CAN HAVE THE AC RUNNING OR NOT, THE HEATER RUNNING OR NOT. THERE IS NO MECHANICAL PROCESS THAT SHOWS ME THIS WILL HAPPEN. IT IS COMPLETELY RANDOM. I UNDERSTAND THERE WAS A REPLACED PART AS PART OF THE CHRYSLER S89 RECALL IN APRIL OF 2017, WHICH IS OUT OF WARRANTY ACCORDING TO CHRYSLER. THE PROBLEM IS STILL PERSISTING AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME CONSIDERING IT STALLS RANDOMLY AND WHILE IN MOTION. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM CARMAX IN JUNE 2021 WITH NO NOTICE OF THE FORMER RECALL AND ISSUE.
