   The engine began sounding like a diesel and pushing the gas pedal made the car surge/lurch. Then, while driving in rush hour traffic, the car went into what I now know is called “limp mode” where I could not accelerate and I received a warning that told me to pull the car over.

I noticed my speed decreases and i have to press the accelerator pedal more than normal. Even after depressing it more than normal, the gauge on the battery power wont move and the speed continues to decrease (charge level can be at 50%, 80%, or lower). It also happens to me after stops at stop sign or intersection. When in EV mode, my light would…

    As I was driving on the interstate, a red turtle appeared on the control panel saying that power has been reduced. Approximately 2 minutes later the entire engine shut down at 55mph. I pulled over and placed the Jeep into park and attempted to restart the truck. The Jeep would power on and immediately shut off. I called a tow truck and had it towed to the dealership (Tate Chrysler and Jeep in Glen Burnie, MD) where it is currently being serviced.
