My dealer mentioned this has been more common with jeeps and they now keep the radiator in stock. It cost just under an additional $900.00 to have the…

Ecodiesel emissions recall. After having the emissions recall done to my vehicle on 8/20/19, the vehicle is extremely sluggish and non reliable. The turbo lag is horrible, sometimes 1-3 seconds, sometimes 4 or 5. Transmission doesn't seem to know where it wants to be at times. None of the issues are constant and therefore you never know when you pull into traffic if you will have the power needed or stall and get…

Ever since the fca ecodiesel exhaust emissions update, my vehicle has had terrible turbo-lag. When you step on the accelerator, especially after a cold start it can take up to 4 seconds to actually move forward. I already reported this once before, but this vehicle is a serious hazard. Trying to cross any type of traffic is dangerous. It also has anywhere from 3-4mpg drop since the update.

Since i had the exhaust emissions update done, my jeep has an extremely long lag in acceleration. It takes a good 2-3 seconds after stepping on the throttle, before the car moves forward. I was almost hit head on in traffic on a highway because of the timing of not accelerating properly. This was never an issue before the exhaust update.

Emission check engine light for small evaporation emission system leak p0456 fault code. Also, fuel tank wont fill with fuel at higher nozzle flow rates... Possibly due to tank check valve. The check engine light will disqualify the emission test for the vehicle and prevent obtaining a licence plate renewal. The check valve will only allow a slow fill using a manual grasp of the nozzle lever to restrict the flow to…
