I have a diesel engine which has a very obvious lag in getting power to the transmission. This is getting worse and affects my ability to enter in to traffic safely. Even if I have allowed for safe distance to merge into a lane I never know if my car will speed up quickly enough so as to not get hit.
I took the vehicle to towbin Dodge in north las vegas for a check engine light. Are used an extended warranty service to get the car looked at and repaired. The maintenance representative advised me that there was an open recall for the omissions on the diesel engine. I was aware of the eco-diesel recall and had decided not to take advantage of this recall. I was prepared not to receive the $3000 that diamond Chrysler fiat was offering for customers to get this done. I advise matt the maintenance representative not to accomplish the recall. When my wife went to go pick up the vehicle to our surprise the recall was performed. Matt and the service manager jesus admitted to their mistake of accomplishing the recall without our authorization. I have asked him to revert the software to the manufacture default and they are not able to accomplish it. I have spoken to the district service manager robert. I asked robert to buy the vehicle back for me because I do not want itanymore. He said he would coordinate with damian Chrysler fiat to see what could be done about this. I would like some assistance in coordinating with the manufacture of the vehicle to get it bought back.
Since the recall a year ago (spring 2019) the vehicle has a serious hesitation in the throttle response until the ecodiesel engine reaches full operating temperature. This creates a serious safety hazard. The fuel mileage has dropped a minimum of 4 mpg. I received a second notice (12/10) regarding an "approved emissions modification disclosure 3. 0l diesel" the local dealer was unaware and stated it was the previous recall. I called "fca" (Jeep) and was informed that this was the precurser to another recall. The only identifying numbers I have are "fc106038" and "****auto* for aadc 030 7/1/2" marked on the notice. This is a serious problem that needs a fix of some sort. The cure for the original recall seems to be worse than the original problem. The original recall repair was performed 9/17/19.
I purchased a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 3. 0 l ecodiesel engine in September of 2015. In less than a year from the date of purchase, the vehicle had major repairs including a complete engine replacement and an exhaust system replacement. Based on multiple service issues with vehicles with this diesel engine, my local Jeep dealership does not stock or sell the Grand Cherokee with this engine anymore. Fiat Chrysler America has been reluctant to acknowledge any problems or be of any assistance in this matter with the exception of "standard warranty repairs. ".
