ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
ON JULY 21, 2010 MY BLINKERS AND DASH LIGHTS WERE NOT FUNCTIONING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. THEY REPLACED THE MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH AND UPDATED THE KEY FOBS PER A RECALL NOTICE. $240.32 CHARGE. ON AUGUST 24TH, 2010 I EXPERIENCED BEING LOCKED INSIDE OF MY VEHICLE IN 100 DEGREE HEAT. I COULD NOT OPEN THE WINDOWS, DOORS, OR SUNROOF. THE A/C DID NOT FUNCTION AND THE DASH LIGHTS WERE NOT FUNCTIONING. AT THIS TIME THEY DID SOMETHING TO THE CONTROL MODULE. UNDER WARRANTY - NO CHARGE. ON JULY 13, 2012 I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS STALLING AT HIGH RATES OF SPEED (IT FELT LIKE WE WERE BEING REAR-ENDED), THE CHECK ENGINE AND OTHER WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATING. THEY REPROGRAMMED THE PCM. UNDER WARRANTY - NO CHARGE. ON OCTOBER 4, 2012 I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP AS THE VEHICLE WAS AGAIN STALLING AT HIGH RATES OF SPEED, AND ALSO SHUTTING OFF AT LOW RATES OF SPEED OR WHILE IDLING. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM AND REPLACED THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE. UNDER WARRANTY - NO CHARGE. TODAY WHILE DRIVING I EXPERIENCED BOTH STALLING AT HIGH SPEEDS AND THE VEHICLE TURNING OFF AT LOW SPEED. I HAVE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT SCHEDULED FOR TOMORROW. MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS IS AT RISK BY DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. *TR

SLOWING DOWN AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. AGAIN COMING CLOSE TO CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF SO MUCH TRAFFIC., THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AGAIN FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES CAUSE GRID LOCK AND CHAOS. ALL I COULD HERE WAS A CLICKING SOUND WHEN TRYING TO START IT. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AFTER THAT AND THE LAST TIME I ENDED UP HAVING TO STEER INTO A STEEP DITCH TO AVOID REAR ENDING AN 18 WHEELER. I HAD MY KIDS WITH ME AT THE TIME. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND GOT NO HELP. *TR

SEATS
WHEN ATTEMPTING TO MOVE MY CHILD'S CAR SEAT TO THE 2ND ROW DRIVER SIDE OUTBOARD, THE CAR SEAT IS UNABLE TO BE INSTALLED PROPERLY. OUR BRITAX MARATHON CAR SEAT CANNOT BE MOVED FROM THE CENTER POSITION TO AN OUTBOARD POSITION BECAUSE THE HEAD RESTS ON THE 2ND ROW SEAT TILT FORWARD AND CANNOT BE REMOVED. WITH TWO CHILDREN IN THE CAR I WILL BE FORCED TO MOVE MY OLDER CHILD TO A LESS STABLE AND LESS SAFE BACKLESS BOOSTER SEAT, SO THAT I CAN PUT MY SECOND CHILD IN THE INFANT SEAT IN THE CENTER POSITION. HAD I KNOWN THIS AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. JEEP HAS HAD MANY COMPLAINTS BUT DOES NOT OFFER A SOLUTION OR SEEM TO CARE ABOUT CHILD SAFETY. MANUALLY REMOVING THE HEAD REST BY DISASSEMBLING THE SEAT MAY LEAVE 8" POSTS EXPOSED, ALSO NOT SAFE FOR CHILDREN. *TR
