ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I believe that my vehicle falls under the Dodge R09 recall. As I accelerated on the gas, my car stalled out causing me to coast to the median. After about 30 minutes the car began to run without issue again. My vehicle acted exactly like the description from the recall for the fuel sensor. However, Dodge told me to pay out of pocket because it was not under the recall.

SERVICE BRAKES
since I have owned the vehicle ( I purchased it brand new) this has happened approx 30 times maybe more. Intermittently when you try to brake, the brake peddle is hard as a rock. I mostly notice it when I am at a fairly high speed say 50 mph but the problem is so sporadic not possible to have it replicated for the mechanic. There is a recall for this exact problem but manufacturer insists my vin # is not under the recall. I can never sell this car or let others drive it as I worry, without being familiar with the problem it could result in an accident.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
My vehicle has been recalled, I believe, twice for the Fuel Pump Relay (Campaigns R09 or P54) . On June 21, 2021 I scheduled an appointment with my local World Chrysler Dodge Jeep store to have the recall performed. For approxmimately 1 month, other than sluggishness, the car functioned normally. In the July, the car began stalling for no reason again. The recall performed on the vehicle HAS NOT corrected the issue with the Fuel Pump Relay. I had once incident in June 2021 where the car stalled in the middle of an intersection and I was in serious danger of being hit by other vehicles travelling toward my car. I was fortunate that there were a few people who pushed my car off to the side of the road. This past week alone, my car has had three incidences when I start the car, the engine turns over, and then immediately stalls. You cannot immediately restart because the engine will just crank, but not turn over. You must wait a few minutes before you can restart the vehicle. There are the same issues I was experiencing before the new relay pumb was replaced. In my opinion, in addition to the stalling, the new relay has made my car run very sluggish. It is not very responsive when pressing my foot on the gas pedal, it bogs down first, and then it begins to respond. It has been dangerous when I am trying to enter a busy roadway and need the vehicle to go quickly so I can merge in to traffic. It just bogs down. This is not just a one time incident, the car has stalled at least 5 times since the replacement in June 2021. Today alone, August 28, 2021 it started/stalled twice. No inspection of the component has been done. I tried to get a second new replacement but was told that too many people were on the waiting list, and there weren't enough new parts to redo the work already done on my vehicle. No warning lights of any kind come on and there are no other symptoms of the proble before it occurs. No one has been able to reproduce the problem.

Driving on Freeway and my son was sitting in the passenger seat when the headrest exploded for NO reason. It was extremely loud and I nearly swerved off the road. There was no warning signs or lights that ever came on for warning. After researching this apparently is a known issue and I want replaced NOT out of my pocket. I have monitored my son now for whiplash injury due to this incident.
