The NHTSA seems to be very interested in Stellantis at the moment, as it has further investigations into multiple vehicles from the manufacturer. It’s looking into the 2019-2021 Chrysler Pacifica plug-in hybrid minivan for a transmission fault that could, again, stall vehicles, while a position sensor in the camshaft could also cause a stall in 2016 models of the Dodge Journey and Jeep Compass.
The latter three haven’t been subjected to recalls yet, but when the federal safety board is involved, it’s never a good sign. If a recall is requested, an additional 300,000 vehicles could be affected.
With Jeep being an off-road brand touting its ability to go anywhere, perhaps it should look into a snorkel for every module made. We hope the brand is learning from its mistakes to constitute a design around the fact that computers don’t like water.
