Engine stall. The first time it happened I was going about 35 mph down the street and the car quit accelerating. Engine still running all the lights on did not notice any warning lights. Coasted into a parking lot. Turned off car and restarted and drove 1/2 block home. Read online to start car in auxiliary mode three or five times. Did that and did not have a problem. About 3 or so weeks later, it happened on the highway and almost caused a wreck. Very scary! I got to the side of the road 3 times. Restarted and barely would start driving and it would happen again. Had car towed to dealership and started claim with Jeep. They can not duplicate the problem and find no codes. Other issues: passenger car entry warning, head module? Or display will call people randomly, change radio stations and the reverse camera will come on while I'm driving, needs new struts ( only drive highway and in town ), uneven tire wear, auto windshield wipers does not work. Slow to shift out of first gear and jolts car when it shifts. Been at dealership for 3 weeks +
I HAVE NOT HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR A YEAR ONLY HAVE HAD IT FOR AT LEAST 9 MONTHS NOW DROVE IT OFF THE LOT BRAND NEW ONLY 2 MILES ON IT. MY TIRES ARE HORRIBLE THE TREAD IS SHOWING ON ALL 4 TIRES NOT ONLY THAT THE SUSPENSION ON THE CAR IS COMPLETELY UNALIGNED. I HAVE NOT HIT ANYTHING OR HAD ANY ACCIDENTS IN THE VEHICLE AT ALL. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. NOT ONLY THAT I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
