Upon pulling out of my neighborhood from a full stop, the suv was slow to accelerate. It seemed "sluggish", as if it was not switching to the proper gear and had trouble speeding up. Caused an oncoming car to have to hit the brakes to keep from hitting me, when i should have had plenty of time to pull out, under normal conditions. This has happened numerous times. It also happens while i'm driving down the road and…

One month after purchasing vehicle, countless problems with brand new vehicle, but the biggest problem is the stuttering, or "fishbite", problem with the mds sensor that operates the active fuel management system. This supposed characteristic, as chrysler calls it, causes the vehicle to buck and jerk like the engine is going to cut out, between 40-80 mph on level ground and on hills. Brought the vehicle into the…
