ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHTS COME ON INDICATING MULTIPLE FAILURES AT SAME TIME. WILL USUALLY RESET AFTER I TURN OFF ENGINE. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THERE IS ALREADY AN ACTIVE RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BUT MY VIN IS NOT COVERED. WHEN THE INDICATOR LIGHTS GO ON, I AM DRIVING, ONCE IN A PARKING LOT, ONCE ON A CITY STREET, AND ONCE ON THE FREEWAY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
THE ENGINE IGNITION COILS HAD GONE BAD, CAUSING THE CAR TO BREAK DOWN WHILE RUNNING ERRANDS IN TOWN DURING THIS COVID SITUATION. THE CAR ONLY HAD ABOUT 38,000 MILES ON IT AND I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT INTO A DEALER SAME DAY & THEY REPLACED A COIL & SPARK PLUG- GETTING THE CAR BACK ON THE ROAD. THEY ALSO REPLACED THE STEREO DUE TO ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. THIS COST WAS PARTIALLY COVERED THROUGH MY TOYOTA CARE WARRANTY. OTHER PROBLEMS:THE TRANSMISSION ALSO HAS TROUBLE FINDING THE RIGHT GEAR WHEN ACCELERATING & OFTEN JERKS OR STALLS. THERE IS ALSO A VIBRATION/ RATTLE SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT IN FRONT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE. MY DEALERSHIP DOESN'T WANT TO HELP FIGURE OUT THE OTHER PROBLEMS, IF THE CAR IS OPERATING. THEY ARE CLEARLY TOO BUSY TO INVEST THE NECESSARY TIME & PROBABLY ARE RECEIVING MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS LIKE MINE. AND I JUST READ AN ARTICLE ABOUT FCA ARE CONSIDERING A FULL RECALL OF THE 2.4 TIGER SHARK MODELS. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN JEEP QUALITY AND SERVICE.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I GOT GAS AT A LOCAL GAS STATION AND AS SOON AS I PULLED OUT STARTED TO NOTICE HESITATION AND JERKING FROM THE VEHICLE. PRESSING THE GAS I NOTICED IT WASN'T SHIFTING GEARS AS GOOD AND ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED BUT DIDN'T STAY ON. AFTER 2 DAYS THE PROBLEM DID NOT END AND FINALLY ENGINE LIGHT WAS CONSISTENTLY ON. I COULD NOTICE THE VEHICLE WASN'T DRIVING AS GOOD IN CRUISE CONTROL AND WOULD CONSTANTLY JERK AND VIBRATE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN MOTION A CONSISTENT JERK WAS PRESENT. I DRIVE TO WORK ON THE INTERSTATE AND GOING UP HILLS I BEGAN TO NOTICE A LAG IN THE VEHICLE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE JEEP WAS STAIONARY. THE FUEL PUMP WOULDN'T COME OUT OF THE CAR, LEADING TO THE CAR LEAKING GAS EVERYWHERE AND THEN WOULDN'T START. TOOK THE CAR BACK TO JEEP DEALERSHIP, THEY REPLACED THE FUEL FUEL TANK FILLER. A WEEK LATER THE JEEP IS STATIONARY AND THEN WHEN I TURNED ON THE CAR IT WOULDN'T START AND HAD A FLASHING LIGHTNING SYMBOL AND THEN GAS STARTED LEAKING EVERYWHERE FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE JEEP. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND ONLY HAVE HAD IT FOR TWO YEARS. I FEEL THAT I MIGHT HAVE A LEMON.

ENGINE
I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK ON JULY 15, 2020. I STOPPED TO TO FUEL THE CAR AND CONTINUED ON MY ROUTE HOME. AFTER ABOUT 1 1/2 MILES, I WAS DECELERATING FROM EXITING THE SPUR 601 TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN ONTO THE MARSHALL OVERPASS, WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE CAR LOST POWER AND STARTED TO SHAKE REALLY BAD. THE IDLE WAS EXTREMELY LOW AND COULD MAKE IT UP THE HILL AND OVERPASS. IT DIDN'T STALL, BUT NEARLY DID SEVERAL TIMES WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT. THE CAR WOULD SHAKE BADLY WHEN IT REACHED 30 MPH AND AGAIN AT 40 MPH. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP NEXT MORNING THINKING IT WAS BAD FUEL, BUT WAS FOUND TO BE BAD IGNITION COILS. THE COILS WERE REPLACED, BUT ISSUE WITH CAR NEARLY STALLING WHILE MAKING TURNS OR HESITATION TO ACCELERATE AFTER A STOP IS STILL PRESENT. MY CAR IS NOT PART OF ANY OF THE RECALLS, BUT IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES THAT THE MAJORITY OF OWNERS OF THESE CARS. ALTHOUGH MY CAR HAS NOT ACTUALLY STALLED YET, PRETTY CLOSE THOUGH, I'M AFRAID OF IT HAPPENING AND SOMEONE CRASHING INTO ME. I'M VERY CAUTIOUS WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC SINCE IT'S SLOW IN ACCELERATION. IT PERFORMS POORLY GOING THROUGH MOUNTAIN RANGES, ESPECIALLY WHEN CLIMBING. IT ALSO IS JERKY AT TIMES WHEN SHIFTING GEARS, ESPECIALLY AFTER REACHING AROUND 30 MPH. THE CAR ONLY HAS 32,000 MILES AND SHOULD BE PERFORMING BETTER THAN IT IS NOW. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH JEEP.

CAR STOPPED AND TOTALLY SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. LUCKILY A MAN STOPPED AND PUSHED MY CAR. I HAD TO SHUT IT OFF AND RESTART IT. THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN POTENTIALLY FATAL IN A BUSY INTERSECTION.

SERVICE BRAKES
TOOK THE JEEP TO DEALER FOR PA STATE INSPECTION . DURING THE INSPECTION IT WAS REVEALED A PROBLEM WITH A REAR DISK BRAKE. THE INSIDE PAD HAS WORE OUT DO TO NOT RETRACTING. THIS JEEP HAS A ELECTRIC EMERGENCY BRAKE. I FEEL THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS SYSTEM, CAUSING IT NOT TO RETRACT THE INSIDE PAD. THE PAD A WORE COMPLELY OUT DAMAGING THE DISK. I HAD TO HAVE THE REAR BRAKES REPLACED. JEEP HAS ONLY 23000 MILES ON IT. I BELIEVE AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE ELECTRIC EMERGENCY BRAKE NOT WORKING RIGHT. IF NOT FOR MY STATES YEARLY INSPECTION LAW THE PROBLEM WORLD NOT HAVE BEEN KNOWN AND COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE ALERTS OF LOW OIL PRESSURE WHEN COMPLETING A TIGHT TURN OR U-TURN. AFTER A FEW OCCURANCES OF THIS, THE ENGINE TURNED OF WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS. I PULLED OVER, CHECKED OIL LEVEL AND IT WAS EXTREMELY LOW. CHANGED THE OIL AND A MONTH LATER THE ALERT REOCCURRED. CHECKED OIL AND IT WAS LOW. ADDED OIL TO KEEP FROM REPEAT STALLING. THIS SEEMS TO BE VERY SIMILAR TO THE RECALL OF THE CRACK OIL PUMP HOUSING, NHTSA NUMBER 18V131000.
