that there was a recall for vehicle loss of power - 78C. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Plug-In charge also not working/unable to charge. This malfunction creates a potentially dangerous situation while driving on highways. When the vehicle unexpectedly loses the ability to accelerate, I cannot safely increase speed to merge into traffic, pass other vehicles, change lanes, or respond to changing traffic conditions. The problem occurs without warning, leaving me unable to predict when the vehicle will stop responding normally to the accelerator. I have reported the acceleration problem to AXIS Jeep, an authorized Jeep dealership in [[redacted]]. The dealership kept my vehicle for an extended period but advised that technicians were unable to duplicate the condition or identify any diagnostic trouble codes. As a result, the underlying cause has not been diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle has been inspected by AXIS Jeep, an authorized Jeep dealership. I also opened a case with Jeep/Stellantis Customer Care, case number [redacted]. The manufacturer has been informed of the recurring acceleration problem and the unsuccessful dealership evaluation. I requested a manufacturer buyback because of the ongoing safety concerns. Stellantis declined that request and offered further diagnostic attempts. There were no dashboard warning lights or error messages before or during the acceleration incidents. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
