Just could have been raised up to a work accident I had a couple weeks prior.

DEALERS WILL REPROGRAM THE FINAL DRIVE CONTROLLER WHICH GOVERNS THE TRANSFER CASE TO CORRECT THIS CONCERN.

I HAVE 2 ISSUES. 1ST IS JEEP INTERMITTENTLY DOESN'T START. WHICH SOMETIMES CAUSES IT TO SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING LUCKILY I HAVE BEEN ON SIDE STREETS. IT CRANKS BUT DOESN'T FIRE. WAS TOLD IT COULD BE A BAD FUEL PUMP RELAY. NEXT ISSUE IS IT INTERMITTENTLY PUTS IN SELF IN ALL GEARS SOMETIMES WHEN I START IT AND SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING. I HAVE TO TURN JEEP OFF AND RESTART IT. WORST HAS BEEN WHEN I'M ON HIGHWAY AND IT DOES THIS I GO FROM 75MPH TO 20MPH AT A DANGEROUS RATE. I THEN HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TURN OFF AND RESTART AGAIN. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS ON AND OFF FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW. AND PROGRESSIVELY GETTING MORE OFTEN.

VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY

THE DASH, INTERIOR LIGHTS, SPEED ODOMETER, AC/HEATER ARE GOING OUT WHILE DRIVING. IT BLINKS OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS AND COMES BACK ON FOR A FEW SECONDS REPEATEDLY WHILE DRIVING. MY IGNITION WAS REPLACED DUE TO THE PREVIOUS RECALL. WHEN THE DASH COMES BACK ON THREE LIGHTS ARE LIT UP: ESP BAS, CHECK ENGINE AND THE STABILITY CONTROL.

BEEN HAVING STARTING ISSUES FOR AT LEAST 6 MONTHS. IT STARTS SOMETIMES AND OTHER TIMES HAVE TO WAIT A FEW HOURS TO A FEW DAYS.

IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS CAR AND TOO MANY ISSUES, WITH NO RESOLUTION OTHER THEN I HAVE TO EMPTY EVERY POCKET TO FIX IT. IT STALLS WHEN DRIVING IT SHIFTS INTO ALL GEARS SLOWS ME DOWN WHEN I'M ON HIGHWAY AT A VERY UNSAFE SPEED. IT IS UNRELIABLE AND I PUT MY LIFE MY KIDS AND OTHERS AT RISK WHILE DRIVING. SADLY, I BELIEVE JEEP DOESN'T CARE ABOUT SAFETY SINCE THERE IS 1000'S OF COMPLAINTS WITH SAME ISSUES. IT ALSO SAYS MY AIR BAGS WON'T WORK BECAUSE THE TIPM IS BAD. *TR

ENGINE STALLS NO MATTER WHAT SPEED I'M GOING. HAPPENS MORE OFTEN WHEN COMING TO A STOP. IT'S AS IF I JUST TURN THE KEY OFF. WHEN IT STALLS, I STOP AND PUT IT IN PARK, TURN THE KEY OFF AND START IT RIGHT BACK UP AND TAKE OFF. IT'S BECOMING A DANGEROUS SAFETY CONCERN.

THERE IS A SMELL OF SMOKE INSIDE THE CAR. ALSO, THERE IS 6 TO 8 INCH HOLE IN THE ROOF LINING THAT HAS BEEN BURNED THROUGH!!! LUCKILY,THIS DIDNT HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING. WAS STILL IN THE HOME DRIVEWAY.

I WOULD BE DRIVING AND RANDOMLY IT DID HARD SHIFTS THEN IT JUST STOPPED. THE VEHICLE WOULD BE DRIVING AND LOOSE SPEED AND NOT GO OVER 30 MPH. THE RPM ARE AT 2500 AT 30 MPH AND I CAN PUSH THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND IT GOES NO FASTER

THE ENGINE DIED GOING 70MPH ON THE HWY WITH OUT ANY NOTICE. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF ROAD AS STEERING LOCKED UP, ONCE ON SIDE OF ROAD, I PUT IT INTO 'PARK' AND 'RESTARTED THE ENGINE'.

THIS TIME I WAS APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT AND TURNING RIGHT, I BARELY WAS ABLE TO GET THRU THE LIGHT AND TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AS THE STEERING HAD AGAIN LOCKED UP. THIS IS VERY SCARY! EVERYTHING IN THE CAR TURNS 'OFF', I DONT EVEN THINK THE FLASHERS WORKED DURING THESE TIMES. ONCE AT A COMPLETE STOP, AND AFTER PUTTING INTO 'PARK', EVERYTHING STARTS BACK UP NORMALLY, AND DRIVES FINE. THERE IS NOT ANY OTHER SIGNS OF ANYTHING WRONG, NO DASH LIGHT WARNINGS OR ANYTHING.

#1. V-8 THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES OUT OF CONTROLL WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION, NO CONSISTENTLY BUT INTERMITENTLY' APPEARS TO TRY ACCERATING TO 65 MP CRUISE CONTROL.

TRANSMISSION OR POWERTRAIN IS SKIPPING LAGGING OR BUCKING ON ACCELERATION FROM STOPPED POSITION AND FROM NORMAL DRIVING AT ALL SPEEDS, UNDER 65 MP. CAN THIS BE THE COMPUTER?????
